It turns out she's a rich woman and she buys him nice clothes, a toy train, and all kinds of other goodies. At her garden party the woman encourages all her other lady friends to adopt orphans. The gang shows up to visit Weezer and sneak into the house. Mayhem ensues.

But the big black maid announces she'll adopt him too and everyone is happy.

Railroadin'

The gang is hanging out at the train yard, some of them set up on an old flatbed set up like a vaudeville stage. Joe and Chubby bring their fathers their lunches, and they're given a ride on a locomotive. They ride past the rest of the gang making it look like they're driving. When the fathers go off to eat their lunches, the rest of the gang comes buy, believing they were actually driving, and asking for a ride. Joe climbs up in the engine, but all he does is blast them with steam. But some rambling lunatic climbs up in there, gets the engine rolling, and jumps off. Joe knows enough to switch from forward to reverse, and avoids hitting the vaudeville flatbed on one end and the roundhouse on the other (over and over and over again), but Farina, who has gotten his foot caught in a switch, has to keep lying flat or he'll be killed. Chubby, who helps him get free, flips the switch so the train goes out of the yard. It eventually smashes through a truck and trailer stalled on a crossing, and almost collides with an oncoming passenger train. Joe finally figures out how to stop it, and they're congratulated for controlling the train after Logo Joe started it. But it turns out it was all a cautionary tale that Joe's father was telling them.

Farina is lounging around, too lazy to even get up and get a drink or shoo away a bee. The rest of the gang takes their little siblings to a baby show to win prizes.

They get a huge crowd to show up for the event, but the two aren't really mixing it up. Mary tells Farina that Joe will fight if he gets his hair mussed up. Farina tells Chubby that this is the signal for Joe to lie down, and when Chubby musses Joe's hair up, the fight really takes off. But in the end they each knock each other out.

When Weezer sees how unhappy she is he goes back to the hospital, but they tell him it's too late the baby is back in Heaven. Weezer comes home empty handed, and prays that the baby will be returned.
