A collection of short stories revolving around two boys and the community in which they live. Unlikely friends for their time, Org is a white orphan from a rich family and Little Bit is a poor African-American child who works in a saloon and takes pride in his ill-fitting, "ladylike" clothes. Together they get up to many adventures, causing no small degree of mayhem in their town.

In some of the stories, Org and Little Bit play only a small role or none at all. These stories mostly involve the schemes being hatched and general hi-jinks occurring in and around "Dirty-Six", the African-American part of the town.

Contains racial language and stereotypes.
