A narrator recalls a mischievous summer in Fort Meade South Dakota with a brother and friends. They explore a hospital dump, find hypodermic needles and paint cans, causing minor injuries and messy spray paint mishaps. The writer confesses to parents, leading to a tetanus shot for David and a family moment of forgiveness, echoing Leave It to Beaver lessons.
