Synopsis: Richie's absent-minded Aunt Minnie sends Richie a gift, a life-sized doll, because she doesn't remember that Richie is a boy. He decides to bring it across town to Gloria. On the way to her house, he is embarrassed to be carrying a doll, and is teased by some boys. Gloria is not home, and rather than being teased again, he switches clothes with the doll and uses its wig to disguise himself as a girl, thinking that no one will notice a "girl" carrying a doll. His disguise fools everyone, including Aunt Minnie, who has dropped in and is now convinced that she has a niece rather than a nephew.
