But young Buddy Baker has bigger problems: The Clean Plate Ranger, his favorite radio show, has just gone off the air for good!The Clean Plate Ranger is a masked superhero who, astride his giant horse "Seconds," fights for truth, justice, and hearty eating for all. "Take all you want," the Ranger thunders, "BUT... eat all you take!"Before Buddy has time to sulk, mysterious men with strange accents move into a house at the edge of town and launch a plot that involves Buddy's classmates... and food. Soon, Buddy's in over his head with the sinister "Swiss Friendship League."And who should show up to pull him out, but... the Clean Plate Ranger! Along with a Hollywood film crew and the assembled home-bakers of St. Omach, the Clean Plate Ranger turns the tables on the plotters with a response that can only be described as -- chocolatey.The Adventures of the Clean Plate Ranger hearkens back to the boy's adventure books of the '40s with humor but also affection.
