Helga wants to show Arnold that she can be as sophisticated as Lila is by taking him, Gerald, and Phoebe out to dinner with a coupon she won. She devises a plan to get out of paying when she discovers they're at the wrong restaurant.

Arnold, Sid and Gerald find a bag filled with money, but when Arnold loses it, everyone thinks he stole it. (Didn't I see this before? Probably in a similar story on a Doug episode entitled ""Doug's in the Money"")

The kids must face two bullies when a new kid, Ludwig, returns and wants the vacant lot for himself.

Arnold is sick and tired of everybody preforming their April Fool jokes on him (escpecially Helga), so he tries one of his own, but it backfires when it temporarily blinds Helga.
