Join Arthur, possibly the world's most famous eight-year-old aardvark, his sisters DW and Kate, and their friends Buster, Francine, the Brain, Muffy, Sue Ellen, Fern, Prunella and Binky as they encounter the joys and difficulties that all children experience in their adventures through life. Based on the popular children's books by Marc Brown. When Francine and the Brain are locked in a stiff competition to win student of the month, Muffy talks Francine into 'borrowing' Buster's toy and letting Brain take the blame for it. As the lies grow and the prize gets closer, however, Francine's guilt increases. Can she come clean and wash her hands of this dastardly deed?
