Buffy (Anissa Jones) and Jody (Johnnie Whitaker) have fun with their pet hamsters, but can't understand why the little animals are constantly trying to escape the comfort and secruity of the Davis apartment. When Buffy's hamster runs away into the park, she feels it is somehow her fault, and there is something lacking in her. Ultimately, the twins--and the rest of the family--realize that the hamsters' love of independence constitutes a Life Lesson well worth having.
