Summary
As Hawaiian music is played in the background, Orson bids farewell to Aloysius and asks him to look over the farm for him. Aloysius, pretending not to notice the first thing he said, Aloysius says that he failed to said a proper goodbye and asks what kind of person he is as he gives him 5 demerits. Cut to Wade happily singing and walking. Roy tells the viewers where Wade is and where he is, with a dirty trick in hand-a jack in the box that was supposed to show a Frankenstein doll guaranteed to scare the feathers off any duck. But the thing is, he has a hard time stuffing it down the box. Roy calls Wade, gives him the the box and says to wind it up, and says that the toy offers a tasty mint. Wade asks if it's a trick. Roy asks Wade a question: "How many times have I been proven untrustworthy?", leading Wade to ask a more difficult question for Roy: "I don't know, what show number is this?" Roy offers the jack in the box to Wade, who winds it up while Roy is laughing and gets exactly what he wanted: a clown that gave out a mint! Wade gives the box back to Roy, who winds it up fast and gets the monster that was supposed to scare Wade. Cue Roy's screaming and Wade running to help. Wade asks for a tasty mint, but Roy is naked. Wade says "Well, Roy, that is indecent of you!", and Aloysius runs to the scene.
"I'll say it is", Aloysius says to Wade. Then comes Aloysius' first "real" demerit: "Walking around without your feathers like that, that's disgusting! 20 demerits!" Roy and Wade wonder who this pig is. Roy then tries to change into a new suit at Roy's Roost, goes through his summer wardrobe and winter coats, and then finds a new suit-with a zipper on it. He says it never hurts to have an extra pair. Cut to Aloysius scribbling on his notepad. Wade wonders who he is and by what authority he gives demerits from. "My name is Aloysius Pig. And I'm in charge!" says Aloysius. Wade then says "Oh well, for Aloysius Pig and you're in charge-UN MOMENTO!" and asks him who put him in charge. We all know from the beginning it was Orson who did just that! Aloysius gives 15 demerits for questioning his authority. Roy says that they must get rid of Aloysius by making him so annoyed that he'll quit. Wade then sobs about his 15 demerits.Roy then makes Wade climb up a ladder. Why, if he's afraid to do any heigh other than tippy toe? To dump an 80-pound container of creamed corn on him! As Roy draws an X on the ground, he shares a fun fact with the people watching: 99% of people quit any job after they have 80 pounds of creamed corn dumped on him.
"You there! What are you doing?" shouts Aloysius. Roy asks him "What does it look like I'm doing, Pork Belly?" as Roy pokes his stomach. Aloysius gives Roy 10 demerits for making fun of his waistline. Roy tells Wade to dump the creamed corn on Aloysius, but Wade is too scared to do it, causing it to dump on Roy as soon as Aloysius runs away. Aloysius comes back to give 20 demerits for dumping creamed corn on "the rooster". After Wade finds out he has 35 demerits, he lands on Roy and he gets 20 more demerits. Wade says that he's doomed due to his 55 demerits. That's when Roy tries his other plan: to paint Wade with spots, which Roy says will be a disease that will scare away their "demerit-happy friend". Wade has to moan in pain about the disease. Aloysius is rushed by Dr. Roy to see the "sick" Wade. Aloysius tells Roy to let go of his hand or he'll give him 20 more demerits. Aloysius is shown the "sick Wade" and is told to run away. Aloysius found out that Roy actually painted blue spots on Wade and gives Roy and Wade 25 more demerits. Wade says he has enough demerits to choke a horse, and he apologizes to a horse offended by the pun. Wade hates Aloysius Pig, so Roy calls Mrs. Pig. He asks "It's Saturday morning. Do you know where your children are?".
Aloysius is shown with his pet goat, who he has given lots of demerits to already. He has just given 10 to him for licking the glue off a tin can. The goat talks back to Aloysius, so he gives his goat 20 demerits. Roy and Wade are singing under a eucalyptus tree happily, but Aloysius gives both of them 10 more demerits. Roy and Wade continue singing, and Aloysius told him what he just did, and gives them 20 more demerits for using up too much oxygen. Roy asks if they both are afraid of Aloysius, and Wade says no. Aloysius asks why, and Roy and Wade point in the other direction: it's Aloysius' mom, Mrs. Pig!
"Giving demerits to all these nice people..." says his mom, as he points at him. "Mom!" cries Aloysius. "That's not right!" she says as she puts her finger in Aloysius' nose. "But Mom, I'm in charge here!" cries Aloysius, but his mom is still angered. We found out how Aloysius got punished by his mom: "You clean your room first, then you can be in charge!" she says, dragging him away. "Bossing people around. I don't know where you'd get that!" Mrs Pig yells. Roy and Wade's mission has finally been accomplished, but two weeks later, Orson comes back, and Roy and Wade pretend to be Aloysius by giving Orson demerits and dressing like him!
Trivia
Goofs
In the title card, some of the demerit papers don't have check marks on them.
Aloysius' first line, "Getting on a bus without saying a proper goodbye. Who does he think he is? That's five demerits!" is wrong because the first line of the episode was "So long!", said by Orson. Either this was a goof, or Aloysius might have either hearing or attention problems.
After Roy gets a new feather coat on, it has a zipper on it. For the rest of the episode, the zipper dissapears.
When Roy and Wade are pretending to be Aloysius, Wade's inner tube does not wear the hat and glasses too, even though the inner tube got blue spots on it earlier in the episode.
