Telling Whoppers

The gang decides to choose two among themselves to polish off Toughey, the local bully, and Joe and Farina are the lucky pair. Fortunately for them, they hear that Toughey has moved out of town, so they return to the gang with a tall tale about how they manhandled the bully and threw him into the lake. As it turns out, Toughey hasn't moved at all, but has been swimming at a nearby swimming hole. A farmer chases him away before he can retrieve his clothes, so he keeps himself hidden. His mother then finds his shirt, which has some red berry stains and thinks that her son has been murdered. This brings in the police, and Joe and Farina make an escape to keep from being arrested.
