As part of a school experiment, the guys are learning to cook and sew, while the girls study self-defense and shot. So at home, when Keith half-teasingly states that women are inferior, Laurie proposes a contest: she has to fix a flat tire and Keith must bake buttermilk pancakes. Keith's pancakes are a disaster. He suggests another contest where he must create a spinach soufflé and Laurie must fix gapping spark plugs. Again, Laurie wins. The next day she announces the results to all the kids and the word gets around to Goose Walrath - the school killer. He viscously insults Keith about having lost to a girl, and is about to sock him in the jaw when Laurie grabs Goose's arm and flops him over her hip. Everyone is amazed, especially Laurie, and the only one more humiliated than Keith is Goose. At this point, Goose is seriously out to get Keith, who now travels home from school through the back alleys for protection. Finally he meets up with Goose at the city's Anniversary Festival, where the family is appearing. When Keith absolutely refuses to fight, his adversary is so impressed with the show of bravery that he backs off and there is no fight.
