Summary
Arthur wants Moon Boots and tries different ways to get money to buy them. His mom wants him to clean the garage for $2. As he is cleaning it, Mrs. Tibble comes by, thinking there's a yard sale and buys a necklace, giving Arthur enough money to buy the Moon Boots. It turns out that the necklace is to be a gift from his dad to his mom and he has to earn the necklace back by doing chores.

Trivia

 * The kids in the Moon Boots advertisement are the same kids that go to Lakewood Elementary School. They are identical to the 4th Graders that are seen around the school.
 * Moon Boots is a parody of Moon Shoes.

Goofs

 * In the intro, there are some Bionic Bunny Walkie-Talkies that are shown damaged on one of the shelves in the basement, although the ones that Arthur owns have not been damaged.
 * Arthur is seen trying on the Moon Boots shortly before his father comes out to talk to him about organizing the garage; but in the next shot, he has a bare foot, and socks must be worn underneath Moon Boots.
