After the title card, Arthur, Francine and D.W. are taking Pal out for a walk when they spot a poster for the Annual Father's Day Picnic being put up. They worry about Buster not having a dad to go with. When Buster meets them, he says that he isn't going to the picnic because he has other plans. When D.W. asks if they can find a substitute dad for Buster, Arthur originally objects to the idea, but Francine likes it, so they begin searching.

They first come across [[Pickles|Pickles the Clown]]. When he asks Buster to go to the picnic, Buster refuses (although he does buy the clown's balloons). The Brain then suggests that Buster take a robotic dad with him. However, that idea backfires when the robot dad sounds like a cat, and Brain then says, “Oh, no! I forgot to replace the voice mechanism.” Buster then realizes he's been set up.
They first come across [[Pickles|Pickles the Clown]] (who first appeared in "[[Arthur and the Real Mr. Ratburn]]" and last appeared in "[[Arthur's Lost Dog]]"). When he asks Buster to go to the picnic, Buster refuses (although he does buy the clown's balloons). The Brain then suggests that Buster take a robotic dad with him. However, that idea backfires when the robot dad sounds like a cat (as well as similar to the robotic cat from "[[Buster Baxter, Cat Saver (episode)|Buster Baxter, Cat Saver]]"), and Brain then says, “Oh, no I forgot to replace the voice mechanism!” Buster then realizes he's been set up.


Arthur and Francine then suggest that Mr. Ratburn acts like Buster's dad during the picnic, which Buster quickly refuses. A while later, Arthur, Francine and some of the other kids are at Arthur's house, discussing ideas for what to do. After turning down other ideas, Binky offers to be Buster's dad, since he's only a year older than Buster.
