Garfield is bored and finds nothing good on TV. To lighten his mood, he plays a trick on Odie. Garfield cuts a picture of a cow out of a book, and replaces it with a mirror. He tells Odie that cows should not eat dog food, which confuses the dog. Garfield shows Odie the book, depicting Odie in the mirror with the caption "cow."

At the Arbuckle residence, Garfield expresses his extreme boredom, and when he is unable to find a good television program to watch, he decides to play a trick on Odie. Inside a book, he cuts out the picture of a cow and replaces it with a mirror. Garfield then tells Odie that he shouldn't be eating dog food, as its bad for cows. Garfield continues to call Odie a cow, much to the dog's confusion. Garfield then shows Odie the book to prove his point. The mirror reflects Odie's face, with the caption "cow" below.
   
Odie still does not believe that he is a cow, so Garfield advises him to go outside and see what people say. Garfield walks by in three different outfits, calling Odie a cow every time. Odie now thinks he is a cow, and Garfield laughs when he starts mooing and eating grass.

Odie still doesn't believe this, so Garfield advises him to go outside to see what people have to say about his appearance. Garfield then dresses up as three different people, calling Odie a cow each time. Odie is now convinced, and much to his dismay, starts to moo and eat grass. Jon Arbuckle finds Odie, and after a long talk, is able to convince Odie that he really is a dog, and not a cow. The two then begin to plot a prank back at Garfield.
   
 
Garfield wakes up from his nap, still laughing at his prank, before finding the refrigerator, microwave and stove are all missing. He panics and tries to inform Jon, who is wearing a stylish suit, and talking on the phone about having a cow that looks like a dog. Jon tells Garfield that he threw away the appliances, claiming he'll buy new ones from the money earned from Odie. Still unaware of the prank, Garfield goes to Odie as a means of getting the appliances back.
Jon finds out about this trick, and reassures Odie that he is a dog and not a cat. Odie pants happily when Jon asks if he would like to get back at Garfield, and they make a plan.

Garfield tries to convince Odie he isn't a cow, which the latter refuses to believe. Garfield then dresses up as the people from earlier, each time calling Odie a dog. Jon and Odie have a laugh and finally reveal they tricked Garfield, and that the appliances were on the back porch. Garfield claims he never thought Odie was a cow, even trying to convince the audience. The episode then cuts to a U.S. Acres quickie where Orson tells Wade that Roy is building a life-size replica of Thomas Jefferson out of okra. Garfield interrupts them, still claiming he never believed Odie was a cow. He eventually gives up, and addresses a nearby cow as Odie, who barks and pants.
Garfield wakes up, still laughing about Odie, and goes to the kitchen for a snack. He notices that the refrigerator is missing, unaware of Jon's prank, and runs to Jon to inform him.

He comments that he threw away all the kitchen appliances because they can buy new ones with the money they earn from Odie.
 
 
Garfield wants to get the refrigerator back, and tries to tell Odie that he is not a cow. Odie continues to act like a cow, even after Garfield dresses up in the same outfits as earlier and calls him a dog. Jon and Odie have a laugh, with Jon stating that Garfield has learned his lesson, and that the appliances are on back porch.
 
 
Garfield claims that he never thought Odie was a cow, and thus he was not fooled by Odie and Jon's trick, even asking the viewers if they believe him. The cartoon cuts away to the start of a ''U.S. Acres'' quickie, where Orson hears that Roy is building a life-size replica of Thomas Jefferson out of okra. Garfield interrupts the quickie, still stating that he did not really think Odie was a cow, eventually giving up and walking away. As he does, he addresses a cow as Odie; the cow barks and pants like Odie.
