The crew is busy building Annie's house on the beach when Muck challenges Scoop to a sandcastle building contest. Scoop loves to build and excitedly creates an elaborate sand sculpture of himself, while Muck, only manages to dig a big hole. Spud, always ready to help a friend, convinces Muck to build something better out of drift wood and Muck loses track of time, forgetting about her responsibilities to collect tile for Annie's house. Will Annie be able to have her house completed or has Muck's pride gone too far this time? It's apple harvesting time on Farmer Pickles' orchard and everyone has a job - everyone that is, except Roley who is eager to help in any way he can. He has an idea to pick apples quickly by shaking the apples from the trees but accidentally flattens the stone wall instead. Is there something that Roley can do to show how sorry he is or is this one job where Roley is more trouble than help?
