Calvin is given a task by Hobbes and Socrates on Easter - find five Easter eggs hidden throughout town in five hours, or get pranked.[[labelnote:How?]]Calvin never finds out, but the viewer is informed that they were planning to remove all his clothes except the [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes most hideous ones possible.]][[/labelnote]] Although he's suspicious of their motives, he accepts and sets off to find them.

While he's gone, though, a news report comes on about two men trying to steal a diamond buried in a treasure chest at the beach. [[OhCrap Quickly realizing]] that the final egg is hidden in a similar chest at the same beach, the two tigers rush off to stop Calvin before it hits the fan.

As for the first three eggs, though...
----
* The first egg is hidden in the Volcano Cafe, and Calvin only gets it by spilling quite a bit of food and getting kicked out in the process.
* The second egg is in the junkyard, protected by an angry guard dog. Calvin distracts it [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu by insulting it]], but he barely makes it back alive.
* The third egg is hidden in a McDonalds playplace, with all the people conveniently emptied out. Calvin finds it in the ball pit, but he scatters the balls everywhere and gets kicked out again.
----
The twin tigers always arrive one step behind Calvin, and he digs for the last egg at the beach. Meanwhile, the two criminals, Tom and Bill, attempt to find the buried diamond. Unfortunately, just as Hobbes and Socrates arrive, the two treasure chests are mixed up. Socrates manages to get the police to notice, though, and the criminals are captured through a RakeTake [[GroinAttack to the groin.]] Calvin flies home with the other two, believing the mix-up to be his prize.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Spike.
* RaceAgainstTheClock
* RiddleMeThis: The eggs have clues in them.
