Frankie is back and this time he must win the Pine Run Derby if he wants to advance in rank with the rest of his scout troop. And of course, he does. But Frankie wants to do everything on his own, and must learn a lesson about teamwork. Frankie Pickle returns for another imaginative adventure and this time it all comes down to race cars. Well, not quite race cars, but the Pine Run Derby for scouts. Frankie is in danger of not advancing to the next ranking with the rest of his troop unless he can win the Pine Run 3000. But Frankie wants to do everything on his own so he imagines himself as a world-class sculptor, a mad scientist, and of course, a pro-racecar driver. In the end, Frankie learns that team work is the only way he won't get left in the dust.
