Disgusted with Tom's bragging at The Broken Stool, Sandals challenges Tom that he could strike him out, although it's later revealed that Sandals is incapable of throwing a baseball. At the strikeout challenge, Abagail becomes angered at everyone teasing Sandals and reminds him of how he used to throw rocks at skunks. Pretending that Abagail's catcher's mitt is a skunk, Sandals strikes out Tom and supplants him as a hero in the eyes of the guys.
Depressed, Tom tries to find a new group of friends without luck. After his confidence is shattered, Tom spends several days in bed until Tom vows to find his mojo again, and decides that a family vacation to Africa will do the trick. While on a layover in Hawaii en route, Tom gets derailed by mai tais, the lagoon and plenty of sunshine, and realizes a few days in paradise is actually what he needs. However, to keep him from being disappointed, they tell Taylor that they are in Africa and go to elaborate means to pretend that they are indeed in Africa. On their return to Ukulele Bottom, they find that the neighborhood has been turned upside down in Tom's absence and he is welcomed back with open arms. But at Taylor's school presentation, they find he has documented their trip to "Africa" and quickly leave in embarrassment.
