Plot[]
The episode starts with Littles getting ready for the school's picnic. Stuart and George are practicing for the egg-on-spoon relay race, but George doubts that they will win if Donny Creeble and his family show up, as they've won every event last year. George goes around a self-made obstacle course in the backyard while Stuart asks Snowbell if he wants to go, which he declines until he hears about the tuna sandwiches that Eleanor made and runs into the kitchen. As soon as Eleanor and Martha leave the kitchen, Snowbell sneaks into the picnic to grab a sandwich and get out, but he accidentally tears the wrapper. With Eleanor approaching the basket, tries to wait it out, only to lose all resistance and chow down on the sandwich. Back in the backyard, George almost makes it to the end of the obstacle course until Frederick accidentally bumps into him and he drops his egg and it breaks. Once Frederick calls out the cab has arrived, Eleanor locks the picnic basket, accidentally locking Snowbell inside. Stressed out, Snowbell begins eating the rest of the sandwiches.
When the Littles arrive at the picnic, Eleanor opens the basket and Snowbell jumps out after eating all the sandwiches. Frederick sets up a deck chair for Snowbell, and Stuart tells him that he knew he wanted to go. Snowbell is not at all happy to be at the picnic and tries the tuna from behind his ears. Eleanor begins unpacking all the salads since the sandwiches are gone. The game referee calls out through a megaphone that the first event is parent/child water balloon toss. While Stuart is excited to start the first event, George notices that Creebles have arrived, but Stuart tells him that the Littles have just as good a chance of winning as the Creebles, but Donny taunts him, saying "Don't count on it, pal!"
At the water balloon toss event, Donny hands out the balloons to the participants, giving a sinister look as they leave. The event begins, and all the participants have trouble grabbing a hold of their balloons. Eleanor throws her balloon to Stuart, but it bursts, splashing water all over him. Donny and his father, however, are doing really good. George tells his dad that his balloon feels wet and slimy, but Frederick simply tells him that's part of the challenge. When Frederick tries to catch the balloon, it slips out of his hands and lands on Snowbell, soaking him. Frustrated, Snowbell goes to find another place to nap. The Creebles win the first event.
The next event is the three-legged race. As Stuart fastens the rope tying his leg to George's, he doesn't notice that part of the rope is cut behind him. The race begins and the all the participants' ropes break except for the Creebles'. Stuart and George's rope breaks, flinging Stuart into a pile of leaves. Donny taunts George as he and his sister Ronny cross the finish line. George believes that they will never win a medal because the Creebles are too good at every event. Stuart suggest that they ask Donny for some tips on how to win. Donny is going through his duffel bag, pulling out a bottle of dish soap and a pair of scissors when Stuart and George approach him. Stuart asks Donny how he's been able to win so many events. Hiding the dish soap behind his back, Donny tells the two that they can't prove anything, shocking George and Stuart. Stuart simply ask if Donny could share some tips and techniques, but Donny simply says that they don't have what it takes. As Donny leaves, he accidentally drops a potato, confusing Stuart.
The next event is a potato sack race. As the participants get ready at the starting line, Donny wishes everyone good luck while he secretly puts a potato in each sack. Stuart comments on how nice it is for Donny to wish everyone good luck, but George is suspicious on how he's suddenly being nice. When the begins, every participant except for Donny trips and falls. George looks into his sack and finds a potato in it. Stuart looks in his sack and finds one in his, too. George is finally convinced that Donny is cheating. Stuart wonders why Donny would cheat, as the whole point of the games is to have fun. Donny taunts the two with his medal, irritating George.
Later, Snowbell climbs up a tree to take a nap as Frederick and Eleanor play volleyball when Stuart and George show up to tell them that they suspect Donny of cheating. The parents decide to tell the news to Mr. Creeble. Meanwhile, Snowbell is awoken when a frisbee hits the branch he's napping on and he dangles on it. Frederick and Eleanor approach Mr. Creeble as he plays croquet and tells him that Stuart and George suspect Donny of cheating. Mr. Creeble simply tells the Little parents that the boys are just jealous that Donny's a winner. Shocked, Eleanor tells Mr. Creeble that she and Frederick teach their children to playing fair and having fun is more important than winning, but Mr. Creeble replies that he told his son to do whatever it takes to win. The parents realize that Donny gets his cheating habits from his father. Meanwhile, Snowbell falls off the tree and decides to hide under one of the picnic tables to nap.
The parents return to tell the boys that not every family is like their own, and that honesty has been passed down the Little family for generations. The family decides that they should try to beat the Creebles in the egg relay race fair and square.
At the egg relay race, the Littles and the Creebles are neck-and-neck. At the father's turn, Mr. Creeble tricks Frederick into looking down, but Frederick retaliates by tricking him into thinking a bee's nearby. Soon, it's George and Donny's turn. Donny distracts George long enough for him to drop his egg, but Stuart calls to George to get another one. Wen Donny accidentally drops his egg, it doesn't break. George tries to catch up to Donny, but Donny crosses the finish line first. Meanwhile, a bee flies under the table where Snowbell is napping. Snowbell runs out from under the table and between Donny's legs, making him drop his egg. The egg cracks as it hits the ground but doesn't break, revealing it to be hardboiled. The referee disqualifies the Creebles and declares the Littles the winners. Snowbell goes back into the picnic basket.
With the picnic over, the Littles pack up. Frederick sees Snowbell fast asleep in the basket and assume that he had a fun time.
