Malloy goes to camp with Greg Whitney and a group of other boys, and due to his short height is told to bunk with the younger boys. Greg gets into trouble right away, accused of stealing ice cream and a watch from one of the other boys, but runs off before it was determined the watch was misplaced, and is found. Olympic gold-medalist pole vaulter Bob Seagren stops by to coach the boys on a cross-country race, which Greg wins, while Reed speaks with his mother about handling Greg in the future. Back on patrol, Reed and Officer Wells deal with a woman whose alleged attacker fainted when he discovered she had a python under her coat.

Malloy part pour un voyage de camping d'une semaine pour les jeunes avec Greg Whitney. Le voyage ne commence pas bien quand Greg, qui est petit pour son âge, se fait dire de dormir avec les plus jeunes campeurs. Il a des ennuis pour avoir volé de la crème glacée, suivi d'une accusation par certains des campeurs, il a volé la montre d'un garçon. Il s'enfuit avant que l'un des conseillers ne découvre que la montre était mal placée.
