A kid goes to spend time with his weird aunts. They go to get plums from a neighbor's tree to make plum jam. The old neighbor would let them get plums, but the new one doesn't make jam. They drive the rickety car out there and gather pums. The farmer comes to chase them away, so they speed off. After they make the jam, the kid sneaks back there to give the farmer some jam. Later the farmer returns the favor and gives them some fresh plums. It shows the benefit of communicating and being nice. The book also has a humorous part earlier on where the boy refuses to eat bacon because he remembers taken care of the pig the year before.
