## Plot

The sun rises in Happy Tree Town and The Litter Bear walks out of his trailer in the junkyard to buy some breakfast at Russell's fast food restaurant. The Litter Bear gets his breakfast to go and leaves Russell a tip. He walks out and sits on the bench at the bus stop eating his breakfast. He leaves the wrappers behind and heads onto the bus downtown Petunia walks by and sees that The Litter Bear left his trash behind. She picks it up and throws it in the garbage. Lumpy gets confused if he did it.

Downtown, The Litter Bear plays in a vacant lot and grabs some sticks. Lifty and Shifty steal the sticks upsetting The Litter Bear. He gets more and has a good time getting dirty. He jumps into the dumpster and has fun only for Petunia to catch him in the act. She takes a sniff at him and then tells The Litter Bear to watch it with his littering or else he will be forced to clean it up. The Litter Bear gets mean and gets out of the dumpster. He moons Petunia with his dirty and smelly rump causing Petunia to cuss him out. He then throws some trash into Petunia's face. This causes her OCD to kick in. She leaves the vacant lot and rushes to the gas station to clean up. The Litter Bear heads home and cleans himself up with soap and water then sits down in his living room to watch some PBS.

The next day, The Litter Bear eats some donuts and packs his bag up with snacks for the park. He heads out of the junkyard into the park. He drinks water and throws the bottle on the ground. Petunia catches him in the act and tells him to be careful or he will clean the trash. The Litter Bear gets mean around Petunia and moons her with rump farting in Petunia's face in the process. Petunia gets upset by this and her face turns green and vomits. The Litter Bear heads to the park. Zsa Zsa Zsa thinks that The Litter Bear has a disorder.

The Litter Bear hangs out with The Diapered Cats Spencer, Seth, Sia, Sweetpea Beauty, Lyle the diapered lawyer, Skylar the diapered book lady, Sweet a diapered artist, Talluha the diapered knitter, Marshall The Big Baby Racoon and Winston and Winter the legless squirrel athletes who wear diapers. They have a good time at the park. The Litter Bear gets trash all over. His diapered friends soil their diapers and he changes them leaving the soiled diapered on the ground. Petunia looks at a poster of Super Diaper PePe on the park's bulletin board and smells something horrid and to her shock the park is covered with trash. Petunia blows her top and yells at The Litter Bear. As punishment for not listening to Petunia, The Litter Bear has to clean up the park. A brick in a tree falls on Petunia's tail hurting her. She puts an ice pack on her tail to treat the pain.

The Litter Bear, Lumpy, and The Mole along with some Generic Tree Friends clean up the trash. The Litter Bear finds it hard to do and cuts his finger on a glass shard. He picks it up and throws it in the sack. Lumpy steps on a shard and hops holding his foot. The Mole stabs Lumpy's heart with the trash stick he is using to pick up the trash as a result of his blindness. The Litter Bear gets back to cleaning the park.

The park is soon clean and The Litter Bear runs home but Petunia stops him with another warning about littering. The Litter Bear gets it and returns home to his trailer in the junkyard ending the episode.

* Like with all episodes involving poop in diapers, only the stink lines from the poop are shown.
* This is the first time The Litter Bears shows his rump.
	+ This is also the first time The Litter Bear moons someone. The first time he moons Petunia, his rump is dirty the second time it is clean.
	+ This is also the first time The Litter Bear farts.
* The Litter Bear is mean at times in this episode.
* The Litter Bear goes from clean to dirty and back again through out the episode.
* Lumpy's death in this episode is similar to Giggles' death in the HTF Canon episode Every Litter Bit Hurts and both deaths involve The Mole.
	+ This episode is also similar to Every Litter Bit Hurts but with Petunia taking on Giggles' role as the environmentalist and The Litter Bear taking on Lumpy's role of littering. Lumpy takes on a different role in this episode.
