Miss Emma家的Sumter生病了,所以Mr. Rogers送Amelia Bedelia和她的外甥女Effie Lou過去幫忙。對於Miss Emma交辦的事項,這對大小活寶可又要動動腦認真的開始搞笑工作了。她們先在花園裡種滿了又高又壯的雜草好讓蔬菜乘涼(Weed the garden花園除草),用鋸子鋸牛排然後綁在豆子上(Stake the beans. Use the saw to cut the stakes.(給豆子綁上支架,用鋸子鋸支架),把蟲子抓來除塵(Take this bug powder and dust them.灑殺蟲劑),拿垃圾去丟?,丟的還是Miss Emma的上好花布(Throw some scraps to the chickens.剩菜拿去餵雞),坐在光禿的草地上把種子?成ㄧ串項鍊(There is a bare spot in my front lawn. Please sow these grass seeds on it.在草地光禿的地方播種),連好脾氣的Miss Emma都要受不了。不過Amelia特殊口味的茶葉蛋糕(tea cake)再度征服了小姐太太們的胃,讓Miss Emma開開心心地目送Amelia和Effie回家。
