To the Pickle Mart! Pig’s errand to go pickle shopping culminates in an unexpected friendship with a shopping cart and a wild pursuit across town by the merciless Shragger. All the while, Goat struggles to sing her catchy new song, and Banana’s job is on the line after he loses his entire troop of Junior Rangers...again! Cricket’s Beauty Goo experiment beautifies the entire planet so effectively that a passing Love Comet’s passionate kisses may just cause the end of the world.

Pig dumps out his cereal box to find all the makings of a police costume, and a police captain inside! The captain sends him on a mission: Who has stolen all of Boopelite's mustaches? Pig tracks down the thief while also struggling to hold his own bladder. Goat hears some musical talent in their house; who could it be? She finds out it's a cockroach playing the piano. Goat takes Roachy to a children's beauty pageant to face off against Eve Gruntfest. Roachy is victorious once Eve is caught by Police Pig. Banana makes his Junior Rangers celebrate Banana Appreciation Day. When they don't appreciate him enough, Banana finds Big Balla Koala in the forest, who waits on him hand and foot. Koala fattens Banana up, until Banana realizes it's to use his peel for clothing. Banana escapes with the help of his reluctant rangers. Burgerstein shows off his kindergarten diploma to Cricket. Cricket brags that he has so many other diplomas, but he's missing his kindergarten one! He has to repeat it if he wants this achievement. He makes the teacher so mad by upstaging his peers, that she gives him a diploma just to leave her classroom. When Koala chases Banana back to the treehouse, it's Police Pig to the rescue once again to arrest him.
