Mr. Dennistein: For a school science project, Dennis and PeeBee add machine parts to a store mannequin, and with enough power, are able to spark some life into him. The boys name their robot Frankie, and when he gets out of the house, he goes all over the city and winds up back at his old department store. They're able to track him down there and he runs away thinking the boys want to deactivate him. Eventually, his batteries run down and he's placed back on display in the store window. Dennis and PeeBee doubt that Frankie will come back to life. However, he's able to pop from toast from his head and wink at the boys, giving them some hope after all.

Lean, Green, Jumping Machine: Dennis writes to his pen pal Albert about his day at the Mark Twain Festival. The group dressed up in old-style clothes and Dennis helped Gina catch a frog for a frog-jumping contest later that day. Along the way, the kids met Mr. Clemens at the same time a comet appeared in the sky. He collects a frog of his own for the contest and to the kids' surprise, it wins. He tells the kids his secret of winning the contest; that he promised to set it free afterward, and does so by releasing it back to the pond where he found him. Gina does the same with hers, and Dennis decides to release his pet Willy as well. However, he jumps back to him and the two go home together. The comet appears in the sky again. However, Mr. Clemens vanishes, leaving his trophy behind. When Dennis and Gina get a closer look at it, they see Mr. Clemens pictured on it, making them realize he was really Mark Twain! Dennis finishes his letter to Albert by telling him "if you have a chance of making a friend, jump at it."
