== Summary ==
Gumdramon tells Team Pahkitew about the time Impmon temporarily gave up pranking.
== Plot ==
The episode begins with Ella and Sky playing tag in the living room, both giggling happily. After the two BFFs trip and fall, Scarlett comes into the living room and asks if they're okay. Sky and Ella say they're okay, but their butts are a bit sore.
Suddenly, the computer lights up and Shawn tells the others that their Digimon friends are calling them again. They head to the computer and turn on their Digivices, transporting themselves to the Digital World.
Meanwhile, Gumdramon and the other Digimon are setting up her new movie system. Team Pahkitew arrives just as the Digimon finish setting up the system and they all hug. After the hug, Gumdramon tells Team Pahkitew that she's happy to see them again, but the team should've been to the DigiWorld last week. Sugar asks Gumdramon why shouldn't the team come to the Digital World last week and Gumdramon replies "I made a film of last week's events. You're gonna love it!". Excited, everyone takes a seat and Gumdramon turns on her video camera to start the film.
At the start of the film, Gumdramon is hard at work patrolling the door to the basement. She explains to the viewers that today is April 1st, also known as April Fools' Day; the day Impmon becomes a crazed maniac by relentlessly pranking his friends. Wanting to ensure that he does not pull any pranks whatsoever, the Digimon have gone the extra mile by securing Impmon in a locked cellar in the basement a week beforehand. Going into the basement, Impmon tells Gumdramon that he has retired from pranks, saying he has grown up now. However, Gumdramon refuses to listen, and after a petrified FanBeemon comes down with his lunch, Gumdramon prepares to head back up. Suddenly, a salami on a string comes down and swings right into Gumdramon's face. Gumdramon accuses Impmon of setting that up, but Impmon tells her he did not do that because he is locked up. Suddenly, the house vibrates, and when Gumdramon goes to check it out, she sees her friends being mercilessly pranked by booby traps set all over the house. The gang attempts to seek refuge in FanBeemon's underground bunker and the garage, but they too have been laced with pranks.
The Digimon goes to confront Impmon to tell him to stop with his pranks, but Impmon tells them he is innocent, saying he retired from pranks. However, the Digimon think he is lying and prepare to leave, but Gumdramon realizes that the pranks that hit them are much different from Impmon's usual ones, like how some of the materials that were used were only done during a specific time of their lives. Despite this detail, the Digimon refuse to listen, and leave when Gumdramon suggests letting Impmon help them catch the real prankster. When Impmon says he knows how a prankster would think, Gumdramon decides to let him out under certain conditions.
After carrying Impmon, wearing Shoutmon's hockey mask and tied to a dolly with her sweatbands, upstairs, they enter the bathroom, and discover that no one has entered yet. After agreeing to let Impmon loose, Impmon observes that the toilet was set to explode the next time it flushed, and that there is a tripwire connected to a tarp full of eggs. He also realizes that whoever set them haven't left any clues of their presence. Meanwhile, the rest of the Digimon is on a drive to get away from the madness and eat at Digitamamon's diner.
Arriving downstairs, Impmon tells Gumdramon to look at the couch. She sees Labramon sipping a box of juice, and thinks it normal. Approaching the dog, Impmon tells him to come down, when he suddenly responds with "No!" and can seemingly stand on two legs. When Gumdramon points out that he has never seen Labramon do that, Impmon says it is not Labramon, and after tackling him, she pulls off the mask to reveal FanBeemon, the real prankster. Impmon is admittedly surprised by this revelation, but he demands her to stop with her pranks. FanBeemon refuses, and turns on the TV with her bone (which doubles as a remote), revealing the other Digimon driving in Vanzilla. At that moment, the family arrives to Digitamamon's diner, and just before they can place their order, Biyomon gets a text from Impmon saying that FanBeemon is the prankster. As first, the other Digimon does not believe her, and when Agumom pinches on "FanBeemon's" cheek, he inadvertently pulls off a mask to reveal Labramon, much to the horror of the gang. With the secret revealed, FanBeemon activates her grand prank: she has the locks on Vanzilla lock the Digimon in, and the car begins to drive around Digitamamon's diner on an endless loop. Impmon begs FanBeemon to stop, but FanBeemon lets out a fart cloud to escape.
Running upstairs, Gumdramon and Impmon discover that FanBeemon fled to the attic. Upon entering the attic, they discover a console with numerous monitors showing the other Digimon screaming for their lives. At that moment, FanBeemon arrives on her toy trike with a loaded bag of Digi Chunks, ready to attack them. As Gumdramon fights with FanBeemon, Impmon attempts to shut down the console and stop Vanzilla. After falling through the floorboards by a trap FanBeemon set up, Impmon uses a juice box to squirt juice onto the console, which successfully shuts it down and makes Vanzilla stop moving. FanBeemon is initially disappointed her prank was foiled, but cheers up when Biyomon and Agumon vomit from all the motion.
Later that day, as the Digimon sit in the living room, exhausted from everything they went through, Gumdramon, Impmon and FanBeemon approach them. Biyomon declares that FanBeemon is doing laundry duty for the next 16 days (boosted to 21 days after they get onion water dumped on them). However, Impmon admits the onion water prank was hers, saying that because of FanBeemon's actions, she feels reinvigorated and decides to come out of retirement. When FanBeemon fist pumps with a "Yes!", Impmon realizes that FanBeemon deliberately pranked her friends to motivate him to come out of retirement. Touched by this, Impmon hugs his best friend in gratitude and promises to never play another prank (until next week), getting cheers (and groans) from everyone and ending the film.
Gumdramon turns off the camera and pleasingly tells Team Pahkitew that everything is back to normal. However, this doesn't last long as grape juice was spilled on Gumdramon and she asks who did it. Impmon reveals himself by laughing. Gumdramon angrily reminds Impmon that he promised not to pull another prank, but Impmon tells her that he would resume pranking the week after April Fools day, as that was what he said at the end of the movie. Everyone is angry at Impmon and they all chase after Impmon, ending the episode.
