Kids can be so mean sometimes like Jerry Mckosker and his gang picking on scrawny little George Washington Jenks because of his name and trying to make him fight. Even though McKosker has his six friends around him that's not the reason George won't fight back, its because he has a heart problem and his mother has told him he hasn't to get into any fights. But when McKosker and his gang push him too far he retaliates and Doctor Christian has to be called. Jerry McKosker and his friends learn a lesson in humility and kindness.
