The starchy spinster next door has made continual complaints about William, his whistling, his general scruffiness. She confiscates all of William’s things that have gradually come over the fence into her garden. Tennis balls. Bows and arrows. Even William’s beloved dog Jumble’s collar.

William takes a surprising, if rather exciting, revenge. But the embroidery of her imagination is no match for our hero's.
