Kit takes a shortcut home, resulting in him getting in a fight. Baloo teaches Kit that when others use their strength against you, you have to start using your brains. Baloo then starts to search for a legendary idol which, if found, the Sultan of Kafusalum is giving a 13 million torbit reward. He starts his search at Louie's, who has turned his restaurant into a 'Idol Hunters Headquarters. There, they meet Col. Spigot, who's on a quest to search and find the idol in the name of the Thembrian government. When Baloo solves the mystery behind the riddle, he claims his prize, only to have it snatched away by Spigot. After several attempts to take it back by force, Baloo has to follow his own advice and start using his brains.

Cape Suzette is holding a Friendship Festival. Baloo decides to capitalize on this by selling hot dogs. But before he gets a chance to sell one dog, Becky asks him to deliver a piano to a house located on a hill. Worried that the delivery would take all day, he tricks Dunder into helping him, despite the fact that he's supposed to be guarding a box containing the golden sprocket. Meanwhile, Trader Joe and his goons get interested in what's in the box, so they disguise themselves like hot dog vendors, which only leads to loads of mistaken identity.

After her car is destroyed by a man posing as a valet, Becky accuses Baloo of being too gullible. They're then hired by Jack case who claims he's on a mission from the government. He seeks the help of Higher for Hire to aid him in delivering a package. After following Jack's directions, Baloo realized that they're over the Thembrian Boarder. When they're attacked by the Thembrians, Jack bails out telling Becky one last thing: Mums the word. When Baloo and Becky are captured, Becky refuses to reveal the reason for being in Thembrian territory, which only leads to long term imprisonment.

Baloo asks Becky for his paycheck a day early. When she refuses, Baloo has a trick up his sleeve. He asks a local radio personality to say on the air Friday that it's Saturday. He then goes to Becky's apartment and changes all calenders to Saturday. And the cherry on top, a doctored paper that has Saturday for the date. When Becky awakens, she's convinced it's Saturday and Baloo is ready to collect his paycheck. But his plan soon backfires when Becky scolds him for forgetting his Friday deliveries and docks his pay until their done. The cargo is to be delivered to Thembria, where Spigot and Dunder are (illegally) listening to the radio. When they hear it's Saturday, they inform the High Marshall that they need to change it to tomorrow, and then inform the citizens that denial it's Saturday results in death. This only leads to disaster for Baloo and Becky when they arrive and a fight for their lives.

Becky is excited to be attending the Pilot's Ball. However, Baloo wants to lose some weight before escorting Becky. He decides to enter the Elizabeth Taper Center, where they have some of the strictest weight-loss counselors around. With Wildcat guiding them, he accidentally drops him off at the Bedevilled Island Prison run by the Thembrian government. Thinking the guards are the counselors, Baloo goes along with their orders with complete cooperation. This only infuriates them to commence with stricter punishments. When Baloo realizes where he is, he's accumulated enough Thembrian crimes against himself that he's officially a prisoner and he has to find a way to escape.

Kit wants to fly, but Baloo says that he's too young. When he learns that Thembria is training pilots as young as 12 years-old, Kit enlists. The piloting school is anything but training kids how to fly. General Spigot and Dunder are in charge of preforming the aerial flounder formation. Turns out Spigot accidentally ordered a whole fleet of small planes. To avoid punishments (or death), Spigot plans on having small kids in the plane creating the illusion that they're the appropriate size. Dunder is put in charge of bolting all the planes together, and the lead plane will be flown by a Tiny Bubbles, a professional Thembrian pilot. When Kit finds out that they will never be actually flying, he starts scheming how he's going to get himself in the air.

Baloo is contracted to deliver a package to the Thembrian High Marshall, but is unaware that it contains a bomb planted there by a bomb builder who wants to provoke a war.
