I don't think I understand it.

Older kids steal bicycle.

Younger kids band together to avenge the theft. (On the writing board, the word "retaliate".)

Included in the attack are squirt guns seemingly loaded with urine. The water balloons may be as well.

The younger kids "win" and when the older boys leave to get cleaned up, the younger ones take over the tree house.

The boy whose bike was stolen wants none of any of this, and simply takes his bike back home.

The song repeats the words "Do the right thing".

That was cute. I think at the end the little boy who climbed up was in danger of turning into the bad kid, so that's why Curly shook his head. He wanted restoration, not revenge so he took his bike and left.

That's my guess anyway, the great thing about art is you can take it how you want to.

Okay, that makes more sense. I was wondering why they kept repeating, "Do the right thing" throughout the revenge montage; it seemed like they were saying revenge was the way to go.

The kid who owned the bike, did not talk to anyone and seemed kinda separated, and the girl who was that too, and kept doing cats in the cradle, reminded me of kids with autism.
