At the Raccoon Lodge meeting we began with a hilarious game of ping pong where Ralph tries to cheat Norton. When the actual meeting starts, the men discuss an upcoming fishing trip. Ralph talks them into excluding their wives. Of course, that means telling Alice she can't come. Trixie too. There is all that posturing by the men who are wet noodles. Once again, Ralph is great in any setting except where Alice is concerned. Obviously, she is going to get the upper hand.

Ralph, The Speech Maker
dougdoepke24 March 2017
Lesson #1—Never play ping-pong with Norton. He's a shark. Too bad Ralph has yet to learn the lesson and it's cost him a whole dime. Meanwhile, the goofy Raccoon Lodge guys have to make a big decision—Should they take the wives on their big annual fishing trip. Naturally, Ralph makes a big brave speech for leaving them home. After all, are the guys macho men or not. So now he has to work up the nerve to tell Alice, especially after she's bought a fetching new fishing outfit. And what about Norton telling Trixie, especially after Ralph hears a big thump from upstairs. But can the boys go back on their word to the lodge brothers. No doubt about it, they're in a bind. Overall, It's Gleason's great combo of hard bluster and soft heart, with laughs aplenty.
