The Lorraines are picking Helen up from a soccer game, and they decide to stop at Burger Boy because Helen's team won. Danny places the order through the drive-thru, but then finds a note saying the restaurant will go out of business the following week. At dinner, Martha is very sad about Burger Boy going out of business, and Danny explains that a new burger place has opened up and proved more popular.
The next day, Helen, the dogs, T.D., Alice, and Truman hang out in the yard, and Alice wonders why the new restaurant is so popular. Helen thinks it might have something Burger Boy lacks, so they go to the place (Big Burgertorium) to check it out. They find the music that's playing too loud, the colour scheme too garish, and the uniforms too tacky, but they do notice that it has bigger portion sizes. When they leave, Martha thinks the burgers smell bad, and when she tastes one, she thinks they taste bad too.
T.D. remembers his first time eating at Burger Boy -- O.G. took him there when he learned how to ride a bike, and they made a bicycle out of food. Then, Truman remembers how he used to study geography and the Burger Boy people made a map of Wagstaff City out of food, but the ants ate it before he could. He wonders if that's why he's afraid of bugs, then Alice remembers a birthday party she had at Burger Boy, where she crashed into a castle made of fruit. On the playground, Helen suggests that they save Burger Boy by making an advertising campaign.
At the Lorraine house, Truman suggests making the ad about the ingredients of the burgers, but everyone else think that sounds boring. Alice suggests doing a musical ad, and Martha approves, but Truman thinks it isn't exciting enough. T.D. comes up with an ad in which he's at first very weak from eating Big Burgertorium's food, but turns into a buff, flying superhero after eating just one Burger Boy burger. Truman and Martha approve, but Helen doesn't, since that would be lying. Then, Helen suggests making a commercial mentioning the foods they mentioned earlier.
They make said ad, with other kids joining in, and the owner of Burger Boy decides he will stay in business after all.
