Bob is building a new swimming pool for the mayor. He asks Muck to collect some special tiles from J.J.'s explaining they are very fragile and easy to break. While returning from J.J.'s yard, Muck meets Spud who claims to be late for Farmer Pickles. Spud convinces Muck to give him a ride through a bumpy field.
