In this story, a little girl named Marcella engages in imaginative play, treating her dolls for various pretend illnesses with a "medicine" made of sugar and water. While Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, and other rag dolls with painted mouths only receive pretend bandages for sprains or headaches, the French doll, with her open mouth and mechanical eyes, actually gets the sticky liquid poured inside. Left alone overnight after a particularly intense "illness," the dolls come to life to discover the French doll's eyes are stuck shut from the hardened sugar syrup. After failed attempts, clever Raggedy Andy deduces the cause, and working together, the dolls remove the French doll's hair, wash the sticky residue from inside her head, fix her eyes, and put her back together, all before Marcella returns, unaware of their resourceful problem-solving adventure.
