Jody (Johnnie Whitaker) is harrassed by school bully Tom Richards (Clint Howard), who insists that his dad (John Lawrence) can beat up Jody's Uncle Bill (Brian Keith). When Jody arranges for Bill and Mr. Richards to meet in the park for a showdown, Bill refuses to get involved, laughing off the challenge as silly and childish. Unfortunately, Mr. Richards does appear at the appointed time, and declares that the absent Bill is a coward! How is THIS crisis going to work itself out?
