## Plot

Morton gets up in his bed in the morning. He goes downstairs and gets himself a plate and gets out some French fries and prepares them. He sets them on the table and pours too much salt onto the fries saying French fries are the best and “more salt, MORE SALT!!!” He comments "French fries are the best breakfast, brunch, snack, lunch, and dinner ever, but if there is no salt, it sucks like my life”. He finishes eating the fries, but Roy comes downstairs and finds the French fry bag. Chuckling to himself and looking over at Morton, Roy swipes the bag and drops them outside in the mail bin. Mailman Green Yosh comes later and sees the fries, but they have no shipping package, so he leaves them, saying “who left these out? Trying to refrigerate them or somethin’?”. Roy grumbles and brings the fries downstairs for eBay packaging, but now Morton is checking the freezer for more, sees Roy, and comes after him. Roy chucks the fries into the Dark Room, but Morton is too scared of the dark, so he goes upstairs to his siblings; he sees Larry, but Larry says, “stop moaning." Morton cries in the corner until Iggy comes.

Iggy and Morton chat before going down to the Dark Room. Iggy says why didn’t you turn on the light and Morton replies “oh, I guess I didn’t see it there it’s too dark.” Iggy groans and says, “don’t you know your own house?” Morton goes into deep thought, scratches his head, and says “not really.” Iggy scours the room, but no fries are found. Iggy reports to Morton so Morton says, “why don’t you stay there, un-useful man” and goes looking for the fries around the house that he does not know. Meanwhile, Roy is carrying the fries away and around the house, laughing a bunch. Roy runs into Ludwig who asks, “what the heck are you doing with those fries?” and Roy replies “highway robbery, duhhh”. Ludwig asks if he can join and Roy repeats “duhhh” again, saying “you and I are always making others miserable, so duh.” Ludwig cracks his knuckles and replies “you better stop saying duh or that’ll be the only thing you can say.” Morton storms upstairs, panicking that he cannot find his fries, and upon seeing Roy and Ludwig, Morton shakes with fury and roars “you two.” “Of course, Morton without a t,” remarks Roy, the first time that insult is said. They fight and Roy stuffs Morton into a drawer and Ludwig escapes with the fries. Morton calls Dum-Dum on the phone, and Dum-Dum comes over, asking what’s up. Morton responds, “the ceiling!” Dum-dum laughs and jokes “good one, meh-heh.” “What a meh-heh day it is, grape juice” Morton replies and speaks about his problem.

The two assault Roy with a trap of granola bars and they hold him down with Roy's weights and demand the fries' whereabouts. Roy says Ludwig put them on the roof, so Morton confronts Ludwig. Iggy and Dum-Dum come in and after a scuffle, Morton gets his fries from the roof and chucks Ludwig out the window.

Dum-Dum wants to share the fries with Morton, but Morton growls “after all of that, I’m keeping these to myself!” Dum replies, “oh yeah?” and Morton replies “yeah, and for saying that, leave my house, or go to The Dark Room!” Dum leaves, grumbling “I wish I was the imposter.” Morton mumbles to himself “what's his problem? I obviously have to share these French fries with FF!” and he gives one to his ‘pet.’
