== Plot ==
In Rochelle's room, as a wrestling match plays on the TV in the background, Howard, standing on top of a filing cabinet in the corner of a home-made wrestling ring, tells Beef Burrito (a doll) to "take back" what he said about his mom. When Beef Burrito is silent, Howard jumps from the filing cabinet to a trampoline, then onto Beef Burrito. He unleashes several moves on him, then makes the doll punch him back. Toby requests to be tagged in, which Howard does. Asking Beef Burrito if he wants the pair to "put the hurt on" him, Toby, standing on the filing cabinets, slam dunks Howard into the trampoline. This hurls Howard across the room, smashing into the wall and landing in a trash basket. Rigby and Mordecai enjoy a laugh over the match that just transpired. After a moment, Howard notes that the hole from their wrestling match is still there (a circle of drywall surrounds it). When he asks if Rochelle will notice it, Toby covers it with a poster, proclaiming that "she won't now". Howard calls him a genius, and they pair high-five.
Hours later, Rochelle notices that have busted a hole into the wall that Toby and Howard is the one who did it after her screams in panic and anger as they realize that she noticed. Toby laments his decision to play-wrestle instead of going outside to work. He worries that the pair will get paid. When Howard asks how the two will fix the hole, Toby reminds him that they can't fix it, and can't afford to pay for it. Toby suggests that they convince the students to give them raises so they can cover the cost of repairs and pulls out a keyboard.
Meanwhile at Toby's room, Rochelle search for her brother and Howard and found a note on the floor that reads, "You are the Ninja," and she is ready to run over to Karen's house and tell her, but then she finds another note that says, "You can't tell anyone", finds the Ninja Mask and puts it on.
Outside, Toby and Howard use the keyboard to practice a short choreographed song, ending with them saying, in unison, "Give us a raise, loser!" Bucky Hangslinger approaches the pair. Howard suggests privately to Toby that they test the Power on Bucky. Toby agrees, suggesting they don't call Bucky a "loser" so he doesn't cry. The pair test their song on Bucky, who proclaims it a "good show", and gives the pair a "pay increase" of 25 cents. They successfully test its magical properties on Bucky, who gives them two dimes and a nickel. The pair take their song to Principal Jinkins, who agrees that the pair deserve a raise. Telling them that they'll negotiate their new pay rates later in the week, he gives each of them twenty dollars. Howard declares that they can do everything they've ever wanted.
A montage follows in which the pair use the Power to, among other things create a bouncy castle, blast off into space and drive a classic Dodge Challenger. Their fun is interrupted by Lincoln, who tells the pair that they shouldn't be doing what they're doing. The pair attempts to use the Power to persuade Lincoln to "go away" with a lengthy song. With the last line, "it's time for you to go to the Moon", Lincoln disappears. Toby berates Howard for saying "Moon" instead of "room", and demands that he bring Lincoln back. Howard explains that he can't bring Lincoln back since he can't see him, and Toby declares that they have to get Lincoln back.
Zach Hunnicutt and Cinnamon McBride come out of the school, asking if the pair has seen Lincoln. Toby blurts out that "Howard sent him to the Moon". Not believing, Cinnamon again asks where Lincoln is. Toby replies that they'll show him.
A short time later, the four pile into the Cart. Toby and Howard use the Power to play a song to be taken to the Moon. As Zach is saying "ha ha, very funny", thinking it's a joke, the Cart disappears, travels through space, and crash lands on the Moon, knocking the group out of the Cart onto the lunar surface. Looking around, many objects are on the Moon, including the bounce house, a broken soda machine and a small group of ducks. Howard timidly admits that he sent "a bunch of stuff" to the Moon using the Power. Angry, Zach calls him a "drill bit" and ask him what else he sent.
A large creature, appearing to be a conglomeration of Howard, Toby and the Beef Burrito doll, is spotted by the group, chasing Lincoln. Zach sends Howard and Toby, with the Power, to rescue Lincoln while he and Cinnamon attempt to right the Cart. The creature has Lincoln in one hand as Howard puts the Power on the ground, trying to come up with the words to use to save Lincoln. He starts to play a song on the keyboard, but the audio quickly fades and dies, Howard announces that he thinks the batteries have died.
The creature approaches Toby and Howard as Cinnamon and Zach set the Cart right. Recalling the new ninja comes in and partially saves the day, she runs toward the creature. As the monster begins to put Lincoln in its mouth, she hits on its leg with her own weapon called "Bō staff," distracting it enough for Lincoln to break free of its grip. she, Howard, Toby, and Lincoln runs by moments before the creature smashes a fist to the ground where he was standing. Lincoln jumps onto the Cart, which is driving away from the creature.
With the monster gaining on them, Lincoln tells Howard to use the keyboard. When Howard tells him the batteries are dead, the new ninja punches through the dash of the Cart, pulling out some wires and connecting them to the Power. Howard plays and the entire group chants "Take us home! Take us home!" The group disappears from the cart mere seconds before it is destroyed by the creature's fist.
The group appears in Toby's room, the force of their landing shattering the drywall. Howard lifts up the Power in triumph, which is promptly taken from him by Rochelle. Rochelle proclaiming that the keyboard belongs to the wizard who Toby stole it and it's payback for sending Lincoln to the Moon. Rochelle immediately puts into the box and writing an apology note to the wizard and sends the box into the post truck, much to the disappointment of Toby and Howard. Gently enraged but almost disappointed, Rochelle demands the forty dollars for her bedroom wall repairs. They return the money to her, and Rochelle tells them to clean up the mess or be busted. She, Lincoln, Zach and Cinnamon leave the room.
Howard notes that they shattered Toby's drywall. When he asks if they fix those walls, bringing some wall repair patch kit, proclaiming that "we will now". Howard calls him a genius, and they pair high-five (again).
