Everyone is excited to check out the new Scare-Your-Pants-Off book, and Arthur is the first to bring it to the checkout counter much to all his friends' chagrin. He soon turns out to be terrible at keeping up with his books; when he gathers them all up though, he finds ''The Mysterious Hand'' missing from his collection. Desperate to figure out who could have taken it, he consults Binky to find out who it was. After several dead ends though, it turns out the answer was right in front of him all this time...and he must pay the price when he is unable to read the book in time for a long checkout wait list to build up.

A new ride opens up at Wonder World, called the Hurl-a-Whirl. Arthur is incredibly excited to experience this with Buster, but his excitement soon dwindles when D.W. decides she wants to take her imaginary friend, Nadine, along too. Desperate to ensure she doesn't go with them, Arthur and Buster conjure up a plan to prevent her from going, but it all ends up being for naught, with Arthur continuing to fear that D.W. will embarrass him. However, after Arthur and Buster use up all their tickets to ride the Hurl-a-Whirl, D.W. decides to lend a few of her tickets over to Arthur, with her claim being that Nadine told her it was the better option than riding. Arthur is thankful for her kindness, and decides to repay her by saying he can go on whatever ride she wants with her next...and she picks the bumper cars, which he is less than thrilled about.

** In this episode, D.W. treats Nadine as if she's just as real and existent as a real-life friend. In later episodes, Nadine only shows up when D.W. is alone, and she never brings up Nadine when she's in other company.
** The HereWeGoAgain music cue is heard in the ''middle'' of this episode (when David "finds" Nadine in the trunk) instead of the end like it usually is later on, and not during a HereWeGoAgain moment either (though the latter at least happens a few more times).
