Music genre: Polka (duh)
Absent character(s): Tasha

Tyrone is a cowboy on his way to the Cheyanne Polka Palace in Wyoming, where he is to play the tuba at a birthday party for Sherman the Worman's brother, Herman. He faces various obstacles along the way, all while recruiting friends who turn his act into a lively polka band.

"Yip, yip, yip, yip, dancin' the tropin' polka!"

  • Deus ex Machina: The Wormans become this in the climax. After the gang lose their instruments to the Inevitable Waterfall before they reach the Polka Palace, the Wormans manage to find the instruments and get them out, bring them to the stage in perfect condition.
  • Inevitable Waterfall: What the characters ultimately face before heading to the party.
  • Running Gag:
    • Someone mentioning how they got into whatever disaster they're in by playing their respective instruments.
    • Tyrone trying to get Austin's attention on the raft, but he drums so loudly he does not hear him.
