A play is taking place, and it's about Ramone doing thirty good deeds before he turns ten, breaking it up by fives so it's less pressure.
However, through a wacky accident, Cat breaks the number props, so Peg has to paint more, with the help of a tape measure doubling as a number line, making the numbers while the scenes play and putting them up at the end of each scenes.
This goes on: Ramone gives Big Mouth five yellow things, retrieves the Teens' five phones, takes the mermaid to the sea through five bodies of water, helps a witch climb five rungs of a ladder to reach her cat (played by the Pig) in a tree and tries to get cheese for Big Mouth five times.
However, the next scene is about trying to round up the 100 chickens and Peg and Cat have to play this role because the Teens, who were meant to play the role, found some pizza. They need to make the last number, but Peg forgot, in fact she can't even count backwards because she has forgotten how to count altogether! However, Ramone sings a song about counting by fives and they finish off the play with Ramone's song about determination.
