## Plot

In the beginning, Lazlo sees Clarence driving a new pink jeep. When asked about it, Clarence said he wanted it all his life and he's finally got it. Lazlo asks Clarence how happy he is to have his car. In reply, Clarence says he is not satisfied yet until he gets other vehicles in the same corporation such as a Camper, an RV, a hang-glider and a jet-ski. Lazlo decides that what they are talking about is a good topic for their episode, and tries to think of a story. However, their friends, the French Peas, say that when they lived in France years before, they had became famous when they had written a story with that very topic called Madame Chloe. Bob and Larry then decide to use Greg and Flapjack' story for the episode.

Madame Chloe is a beautiful woman living at a tree-house in France with her family friends and butlers, Lazlo and Clarence. However Madame Chloe is very "blue" and sings it every day to Lazlo and Clarence. The daily basis is Lazlo and Clarence come just to hear Chloe complain about stuff she does not have and how she is miserable in life. The only happiness she gets is staring at pictures of possessions owned by her friends, relatives and neighbors.

One day, Clarence spots a new store being built about 0.6 miles away from Chloe's tree house. They watch it over time being constructed and it is finished when the building is given a sign: "Walmart." Seconds after the store is finished being built, three Hammer bros of the Wallmart come to Chloe's tree house to offer her sales. Once they step in her house, they use conniving skills to convince her that to be happy you must have more things. They claim to her that their department corporation has everything she needs to be happy. Despite Lazlo advising Chloe to take God's advice on being happy, Chloe falls under the materialistic temptations and agrees to see the corporation.

Meanwhile Bubbles is preparing his new Bubbly-Song segment, but Eddy again interrupts the segment. Eddy informs Larry that the show staff's bosses have ordered them to cancel Bubbly Songs with Bubbles and replace it as a result of Bubbles's bad outcome of the "Song of the Cebu" from the previous episode. Eddy also reveals his support on the cancellation (He has a bad sense of humor), and when Bubbles asks on what to do next, Eddy taunts Bubbles for not being able to change the bosses' minds on the change. At the same time, the new segment titled "Love Songs with Beast Boy" debuts and Beast Boy sings about a fictional person that falls in love with a cheesesticks. After this is done, Eddy complains about this being done instead of Beast Boy supposedly going to sing about growing up in Connecticut, only for Beast Boy to reveal that he grew up in New Jersey.

Meanwhile Madame Chloe, Lazlo, Clarence and the Hammer bros go to Walmart. On the way Madame Chloe gets distracted when seeing Numbuh 3 living on the streets with her friends. It is her birthday and she can only afford a piece of apple pie and oatmeal for her birthday dinner. Despite Numbuh 3 sings a thankfulness song thanking Heaven for what she has. This confuses Madame Chloe for a few moments until the Hammer bros get worried that their commercials will die over-time of her seeing this and change the subject to the Walmart.

Madame Chloe enters the store to see a giant room filled with all kinds of possessions on sale; stretching for miles and thousands of yards. She is speechless and "woozy" out of excitement. Madame Chloe spends hours and hours buying nearly everything in the store. She finds and buys stuff she does not need such as SNES, Game Boys, Books, a tree-chopping machine, tables, furniture, etc. As the store begins to empty of possessions, the Hammer Bros offer Madame Chloe to have employees deliver the stuff to her house as she keeps shopping.

That evening Madame Chloe, Lazlo and Clarence are eating at the store restaurant food court. Lazlo then says they have plenty and asks Chloe if they can go home. Madame Chloe is so excited by what she has bought that she refuses. However, seconds later they notice a young boy asking his father for a toy train set. They overhear the boy rant out stuff such as how he saw it on TV, wanted it forever, and his begs to have it. The father sadly tells him that he cannot afford it, but offers a ball instead. After a moment of thinking, Bubbles gladly accepts and sings the same thankfulness song Numbuh 3 sang earlier. This makes Chloe so shocked that she comes to a realization: possessions do not bring happiness, but happy hearts do.

When the Hammer Bros offer her more stuff such as a toaster oven, Chloe angrily tells them that she is done giving in to their fake commercial temptations and gets a refund for the possessions she does not want anymore.

When leaving the Walmart no longer in debt, however, they see that the deliveries are still being performed despite the stuff no longer being hers, and that her tree house is so obese from the weight that it is tipping over towards the deep lake behind her house. Lazlo and Chloe grab onto carts and speedily drive down the sandy roads to the house to call off the deliveries but by the time they reach it, the final bought possession has already been put in her house. Just when they fear the worst, the tree somehow manages to balance itself. Lazlo and Chloe are able to have a laugh at their own expense and decide to take it from there. Unfortunately, a butterfly perches on the back of the house, causing the tree to lean towards the lake. Bob and Madame can only watch in horror as her possessions (and an employee) fall out of her back door and sink in the deep lake. The sudden loss of weight causes the tree-house to be catapulted in the sky, and to land onto the Walmart parking lot. Upon impact, the tree-house collapses in on itself.

That night Madame Chloe is now homeless, but she survives because she befriends the girl's family, the boy and father, who offer her shelter for her similar attitude to theirs. Despite being homeless and no longer rich, Chloe is so happy that she knows everything will be fine with her friends.

In the wrap-up, Lazlo and Clarence love the story so much that they hysterically cry until the Toads exasperatedly ask them to stop. In the ending, they show a Bible verse from the book of Proverbs: "He who is greedy threatens his own house." Clarence then concludes that he is now happy for what he has no matter if he gets his vehicles or not.
