Up, Up, and Oh Boy!: Henry takes Dennis, Jay, and Margaret out to the field to test his company's new derigiblimp. But the kids get inside and take off in the blimp, leaving Henry and Mr. Wilson to pursue them on the latter's two-seat bicycle. But they're the ones who get into danger as they have to avoid boulders and a big bear. The kids manage to rescue them from above when they drop into the lake and Mr. Wilson offers them money NOT to save the bicycle as he's completely worn out from the chase.
The Company Picnic: Henry takes Dennis to his company's father/son picnic and the two compete in the various games with the other fathers and sons, including a pair of troublemaking bullies. As expected, the two cheat. But when it looks like the Mitchells are able to beat them, the bullies trap Dennis in a mine to keep him from competing. He's eventually able to escape and make it back in time for the final event; the tug-of-war. And to their surprise, Henry and Dennis are victorious thanks to Willy, the latter's pet frog, who spooks the thugs enough to get the guys the trophy.
Aw Nuts!: Dennis wants to catch a squirrel to keep as a pet, but the crafty animal is able to outsmart him and Ruff at every turn. The two eventually give up their quest and the lonely squirrel wants to be friendly, but doesn't want to be put in a cage. Dennis accepts the fact that he's a wild animal, but loves the chase as he tells his father he wants to try to catch him the following day, to Ruff's dismay.
