In a cave of fireflies Bootsie asks for a real flashlight and Uncle Wiggily proposes trapping lightning bugs in a bottle to glow for him. The chief bug asks for volunteers as the duo waits in darkness.
An illustrated Uncle Wiggily episode shows Bootsie given a bottle of lightning bugs to serve as a flashlight. The bugs awaken and glow when tapped, lighting the room until Nurse Jane interrupts thinking a fire. The story ends with a reminder of the English right to trial by jury from 1215.
