## Synopsis

Chaos ensues when the Harvey Girls break the rules of the Trading Tree to obtain some rare toys from Pinkeye.

## Plot

The episode begins with the girls on a hill, where they pretend to be the Horn-A-Corns characters. Then they comment that Tiny plans to exchange them some action figures of said characters for a small comic featuring Little Lad in the trade tree, where the kids in the three-block area can exchange around. In it, the viewer can see boys changing their things, like Lucretia and The Bow who exchanged their pallets and false teeth respectively. Dot also comments that it was founded by Bobby, who manifests in front of the girls.

He explains that he is expelling Melvin for some time for trying to change a fake cake and tries to go unnoticed. After some raccoons threw him the cake he wanted to fake, Bobby explains that since he is one year older, he proclaims himself as the leader of this place. Later, he gives a small introduction of how the trade tree was founded and explain the rules of this place. These are: the prohibition of trading, living things, returns and falsifications. Bobby finally expels Melvin for an hour, which promises to return with his old tricks.

The girls go to a small house where they wait for Tiny, after finding him, they discover that he had already exchanged the Horn-A-Corns toys for a top hat, which makes him feel taller. The girls soon learn that Frufru has them. When they arrive where she is, the last explains that she exchanged it with Lucretia for a mirror while telling her that they have nothing of value to change with them.

The Harvey Girls question why Lucretia would like to have something that the girls would like, since she is her fan, and they realize that she did it because she has a weakness for fudge made coins. Then they realize that Pinkeye has them by Lucretia's vague description of him, "Purple. Ward." The girls go with him, but very nervously explains that he wants them on behalf of Melvin as a secret. Because he wants to spray paint those toys before cutting their hair off and finally tie the toys to some fireworks. Audrey doesn't take this very well and almost manages to pounce on him like an enraged panther. Dot for her part wants to negotiate and Pinkeye will only accept if they give him the pumpkin queen card of the attacking bites, to be the queen of the game.

Audrey manages to convince him that she has the card, but it is a lie to gain time as she turns to Dot at their HQ. Audrey then proceeds to pressure the girls to do something to prevent the toys from being destroyed and proposes to counterfeit. After convincing them, they give a fake card to Pinkeye, who goes where Fredo, which confirms the fact after noticing that it does not have the official seal. Therefore, it begins a chain of scams initiated by Pinkeye, passing through Lucretia, Frufru and the rest of the kids in the trade tree.

After five minutes, the Bow tries to scam the Harvey girls with a carrot and a spatula saying that it is part of the horn set, when discovered, she comments that they cannot catch her since everyone is breaking the rules. The girls realize their mistake when the Bow comments that it all started while the girls scammed Pinkeye. The situation worsens when Tinaceous exchanges a can of sauce for a false writing of the tree, that causes the raccoons to invade it.

The Harvey Girls, using an advice present in a book of the Hornicorns try to form a tower with the rest of the kids, but not before apologizing for the entire incident created. After building trust among all after a monologue, the kids form the tower frightening the raccoons and Tiny got taken by the wind. The episode concludes with the Harvey Girls giving them back the toys to Pinkeye, who incidentally kept them for himself. Melvin and the others do not question the fact, since Pinkeye stained the toys with his conjunctivitis. Meanwhile, Tiny is still driven by the wind on the horizon, saying "I am tall!".
