Just as Mr. Dime introduces the show, Seth Pool comes in, and announces that since he has pulled the studio plug, the "show (that Mr. Dime) hate(s) so much" can't go on the air. Realizing how much money this'll cost him, Mr. Dime sets out to plug the studio plug back in.

After learning about the plug, Ross dismisses the kids but the kids complain cause they aren't getting paid for their time off and they go to the Network Canteen -- a local hangout. When Lois asks why they're there, Christine explains about the studio plug, and Lois offers to give them her sink plug, which, of course, isn't what they're looking for, but it ends up plugging Kevin's mouth up to keep him from talking. Meanwhile, Mr. Dime rushes to the studio and asks a crew member where the kids studio is and then when he arrives plugs the studio plug back in although the socket says danger high voltage, and the kids are herded back in to the studio by Ross and his bullwhip which confuses them cause they were just told that there wasn't going to be a show.

Later, Mr. Dime, thinking the kids show could use some "polish," hires a drama coach (who looks almost identical to another Ruth Buzzi character, Miss Inform) to teach the kids the "finer points of money making." The coach has them speak in Olde English wording. First they start doing some warm ups and Miss Inform tells them to pretend like they're a tree spreading their branches out and a bird is on one of the cast members arm. Then Jono tries very hard to be a tree and transforms into one.

Marc asks Lois for something at the cafeteria and all she had was a breakfast sausage that she used for the sink as a plug since the people at the studio took hers to plug Somers mouth with.

The kids start speaking Olde English cause of Miss Inform. When Christine refuses to do a link to commercials, Mr. Dime has Seth Pool pull the studio plug again so the network can play some commercials. Of course, when they get back, Seth realizes that he's lost the plug. Jono finds the plug when he accidently puts it in Kevin's mouth, thinking it was the sink plug while Keving starts speaking a Shakespearean language. Then they introduce their musical guest Max Webster.

Unfortunately only half of this show is availble as it was taped from a YTV broadcast and stopped taping it while Max Webster performed which was one of the best parts of this show cause the episode lacked of a good storyline.
