Franklin and Beaver get caught up playing a computer game and forget about their friends.

Franklin has a bad day when he is scolded at home and at school. Even his friends let him down. So when he gets home, he snatches up his stuffed dog, Sam, and goes off to find a new home and new friends. But as he walks along, memories of good times come flooding back, making him realize he'll never find a better family or better friends than he already has.
