Synopsis for "Hamlet and Eggs!"
Scooter and his classmates are presented with the challenge of raising money to erect a military monument for their school Laurel High. A number of names are put forward as suggestions for great leaders they should honor including Ringo Starr, Benedict Arnold and Zeak Freak but they finally settle on Major Otis the school principal. The school theater director Miss Bluff is placed in charge of putting on a play to help raise the necessary funds. Miss Bluff decides on the play Hamlet and immediately starts to hold rehearsals with student volunteers. The students try in vain to perform their parts but they have no knack for such a sophisticated play. Miss Bluff grows increasingly impatient with their antics but insists that their show must go on. At one point Scooter makes the suggestion that they can turn their play into a musical and that might help to increase ticket sales to raise funds. The Hamlet musical is performed and the audience finds it to be a smashing success. In the end they finally obtain the funds for the monument which depicts Major Otis leading his men to a glorious defeat at Lollypop Hill during basic training.
