Snowball War (episode)

Snowball War is an episode from The Little Lulu Show. It precedes Jr. Detective Tubby. Throughout its plot, both genders are caught in a "snowball war".

Plot
The episode starts off as Lulu Moppet and her best friend Annie Inch walk through the city. However, Lulu reveals that she does not like one thing about snow: boys may sometimes throw snowballs. The boys call off their attack when Lulu storms toward their ice castle in a rage. Tubby Tompkins, their leader, mistakenly believes she surrenders, but Lulu says she did not. Tubby says that the boys are the kings of the mountain. Gloria Goode Darling passes by on her way through the city, but she suffers an ambush when she steps too close to the boys's castle and all of them swarm her and she tries to run.

The girls later assemble at the Moppets's house. Their leader, Lulu, explains that the boys have attacking them with snowballs since the dawn of time. She then plans a counterattack, but Jeannie and Joannie are not sure, as they saw on their way here that the boys had a big ice castle on their side.

Jeannie and Joannie then taunt the boys, stating that their castle looks dumb. In a rage, Tubby calls the boys to assault them. However, Lulu and her friends take the fort over and blast the boys (who state their disgust) with snowballs.

Willie Wilkins suggests that Tubby would fake surrendering, and then smash the snowballs, and at that point, the boys can charge the castle. This backfires tremendously as Lulu and her friends smash his head with an even bigger snowball. Tubby runs off in anger.

Tubby and his gang prepare a snowball catapult (which Lulu says is a "crazy scheme"), but that fails badly as the snowball smashes Tubby's head, to which Lulu replies that "that crazy scheme (of his) worked just fine."

Tubby and his gang charge the castle again, at which point the girls abandon the castle. Iggy Inch comments on how it has suddenly become empty, and Tubby praises how his plan worked.

The boys later get a rude surprise when the girls bombard the tree that hangs over the castle. Before they can react, the boys wind up under a pile of snow. They surface, and Lulu accepts their surrender, only to abandon them in the snowdrift, believing that the boys should cool off.
