Algernon and Marmaduke are strong and brave and good-looking...or so they say. Their sister Fred is just a silly girl...or so they think. But when the family is in trouble, the brothers soon discover that Fred has qualities that they don't expect...
The Weasel in the Sack is a funny play written in extremely simple English.

| Fred: | Hello everyone! I'm home! That's funny, there's no-one here. They must be all asleep. Hello! I can sit here and wait until my mother and my brothers wake up. [Algernon and Marmaduke creep up on Fred, throw a sack over her, and tie her up] |
| Algernon: | Got you! |
| Marmaduke: | Got you! |
| Algernon: | What do you think we have in this sack, Marmaduke? |
| Marmaduke: | I think we have a weasel in our sack, Algernon. |
| Algernon: | Yes, a nasty weasel. |
| Marmaduke: | And what do we do with nasty weasels, Algernon? |
| Algernon: | We take them to the lake, and throw them in, and drown them. |
| Marmaduke: | That's right, Algernon. |
| Algernon: | Let's take this nasty weasel now and throw it in the lake. |
| Marmaduke: | Now? |
| Algernon: | Yes, now. |
