Even though it was a little campy I found this episode to be fun and different in tone than most of the other episodes. To earn money and experience Dot takes the job of directing a children's play being put on for charity. It's to raise money to send underprivileged children to camp. The play is a musical "Little Red Riding Hood".

After dealing with many other small obstacles the entire cast comes down with chickenpox. After some coaxing, the other waitresses agree to act in the play. Sonny volunteers as well, but Nancy only agrees after Dot promises to pay her a hundred dollars. The play goes off without a hitch until near the end when Sonny trips backstage and falls out the emergency door. No one knows where he is, but he is due on stage soon as The Woodsman. Nancy as the Big, Bad Wolf and Ginger as Red Riding Hood try to stall on stage as long as possible when Ginger hits the Wolf over the head with a lamp. The curtain goes down and comes back up to reveal Nancy remains unconscious on the floor while the rest take their bows. I found the two songs within the play to be fun, for a children's play, and the additions to the fairy tale fun.
