Synopsis

Life looks like so much fun in the Bevels' back yard. Baxter is working on building his very own square boxing ring, and Bonita is practicing her yoga-a-go-go. Olie and Dad wonder what life would be like if they were square instead of round. When Dad comments that "you can't know a person's true shape until you've walked around in their shoes," Olie and Billy get a shape-switching idea! All kinds of fun ensues- of the square and round variety!
