In the aftermath of the recent pit flooding, Ned wants to organize a protest of the working conditions. But Mr. Frawley, and his MORE cynical and nasty boss, Wendell Crowe, only want to keep one section closed and keep the mine operating in fear of loss of profits. As the wedding of Ned and Nellie draws near, Aunt Rose begins to try to talk Nellie out of marrying Ned in fear of being set up for a major heartache. Meanwhile, Willie, Mollie, Angus and other schoolmates prepare to face off against Spider, Strech, Stringy, and the other pit boys in a grudge baseball game.
