Quico calls Chilindrina to play with him and she says she will pick up a chair, but Quico reminds her that Don Ramon forbade her to take anything from his house. Chilindrina answers however that her father forbade her to pick up things in the morning, but said nothing about taking something afternoon.
El Chavo appears and shows the Quico the lollipop he bought but Quico replies that he prefers to play dollhouse. Chavo says again that house is a girl's game and Quico throws El Chavo's lollipop on the floor. In response to this, El Chavo destroys Quico's house and gets punched. He chases Quico with a brick but ends up hitting Don Ramon.
After insisting, Chilindrina finally gets permission to take the chair and Don Ramon recalls that both will visit his grandmother (Doña Nieves). Excited by the news, Chilindrina asks if she can use her new dress for the occasion, to which Don Ramon replies yes. Don Ramon also uses a new outfit and gets to go unnoticed by the other inhabitants of the vecindad and Doña Florinda thinks he disguised himself to avoid taking a slap.
