Hoping to join their friends on a Girl Guides camp out, Molly and Pixie take on odd jobs to earn the necessary money. But with only one week to accomplish their goal, their friends take an interest in their task. Louise even bets her new bangles, a rare gift from her father, against Myrtle's imported coloured pencils that they will succeed. While taking on any manner of task, the girls must also contend with the antics of Jimmy and Freddo, and Mrytle's scheming.

Molly's attempt to organise a game of cricket among the girls from school ends in disaster. Jimmy's basketball team is on the wane so when Molly accidentally drops by during practice and teaches them to play properly, Jimmy has the great idea to add her to the team. He even dresses her up like a boy — with matching haircut — to get her on the court for their next game.
