When starting a baseball card collection, Al and Steve sell Marcy's old Barbie doll. They must get it back, but they learn the shop they sold it to was robbed, so they would have to search downtown Chicago and ask every bum on the street.
Seeking to relive a childhood hobby, Al and Steve engineer a major league deal: they buy nine classic baseball cards with money obtained by selling Marcy's 20-year-old Barbie doll that she's been saving for the daughter she hopes to have someday. When Marcy discovers her doll is missing and goes into a fit, Al and Steve are forced to go look for the doll in the streets. Meanwhile, Bud deliberately gives the dim-witted Kelly bad assistance to help her with a book report.—Anonymous
