Synopsis
Benji has an enormous responsibility. He must design a poster as his room's entry in an Easter decorating contest. Frustrated with his attempts to illustrate Easter's meaning on a poster, he rejects the companionship of his dog Waldo, who runs away, has an encounter with a mean kid, but all ends happily. He returns to those he loves, as did the Lord, on the third day.
