Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks

A big test is coming up in school, and Ferny and Dannan buckle down to study. But Piggley doesn't want to give up his weekend, so he decides to try to catch the legendary "Salmon of Knowledge," an all-knowing fish that can help him ace the exam.

Piggley’s father tells him an old Irish tale about fairies disguising themselves as bugs and playing tricks on anyone who harms them. Soon Piggley and Dannan are convinced that fairies have turned Ferny into a flying beetle after he inadvertently smacks a bug on his arm. While Piggley investigates and experiments with ways to keep Ferny safe, Dannan hits the books to try and find a cure - and Ferny learns how much his friends care about him.

Piggley’s favorite radio program, “Piggley Trotter, Private Eye,” inspires Piggley, Ferny and Dannan to spend many imaginative and adventurous afternoons playing detective. One particular afternoon, they work together to solve an unusual mystery: the case of “what a teacher does on his day off.”

Mr. Winks is going fishing and Piggley and his friends really want to go along. Dad doesn't think they're ready for the trip, so the three friends set out to prove that they're not only ready, they're also willing and able!

Piggley accidentally embarrasses his good friend Ferny by taking a photo of him with his pants ripped and his undies showing! After promising not to show it to anyone, the photo gets away from Piggley and is seen by everyone at school. He tries to apologize but finds that, for the first time, his best friend Ferny isn’t willing to accept his apology. Piggley must use his ingenuity and creativity to regain Ferny’s trust and friendship - and Ferny must find a way to forgive.

Young Piggley’s insecurity rises when he discovers that his teacher, Mr. Hornsby, is coming to his house for supper. Piggley is certain he's going to “grade” the Winks family and that they’ll come up woefully inadequate! So Piggley and pals hatch a plan to make sure the Winks family gets passing marks. Much to Piggley’s surprise, he discovers that Mr. Hornsby is just a regular person - and not so intimidating after all.

A series of odd circumstances convinces Piggley that Molly’s new doll is actually a real leprechaun in disguise! Piggley and his friends set out to prove his theory and try to catch the leprechaun at his own game. They soon learn, however, that it’s a good idea to get ALL the facts before jumping to conclusions.

When Piggley, Ferny and Dannan hear strange noises in the barn, Piggley decides it’s the “song of the banshee”—which frightens Dannan more than she wants to admit! When she finally confesses her fear to her friends, they search for the source of the noise…and discover it's only Wiley the sheep trying to lead his uncooperative flock in song.

Piggley, Ferny and Dannan rescue an errant egg - which they decide must be a dragon’s egg. They hatch all kinds of plans to keep the egg safe, but when the creature inside emerges, it turns out to be a not-so-sweet wild swan chick. That’s when the real work begins.

Sweet Shop owner Miss Nanny offers a reward for the return of her lost cat and Piggley and friends leap at the opportunity. Of course, catching a cat with a mind of her own is not such an easy task, but seeing Miss Nanny’s happy face is a great reward.
