==Plot==
[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is walking on the Earth when he spots a present in the front yard of his house. It has a tag that instructs, "Do not open 'til midnight." Arthur checks his watch, and it reads 11:55. He hovers into his bedroom with the present, and sleeps until midnight. Lightning flashes, and the present shakes. A tiny [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] jumps out. Arthur runs downstairs, but D.W. copies are flooding the house. When he opens the door, D.W. shouts, "I can do anything I want now! I'm rich! And it's all thanks to you!" Arthur asks, "How could I let this happen?"

[[Thora Read|Grandma Thora]] gifts Arthur a [[Mutant Muck Monster]]. Arthur is happy about this, until he notices that the toy has the head of a normal man instead of a swamp monster. Thora tells Arthur that she wondered about that, but there was another toy just like it.
When [[Thora Read|Grandma Thora]] was shopping for [[Cora]]'s birthday, she chose to buy a present for Arthur — the [[Mutant Muck Monster]]. Arthur is happy about this, until he notices that the toy has the head of a normal man instead of a swamp monster. Thora tells Arthur that she wondered about that, but there was another toy just like it.


Arthur tries to scare D.W. with the Mutant Muck Monster, although she isn't bothered by it. Arthur says that the toy wouldn't scare anyone because of its "teacher head." Since Arthur doesn't know what to do with the toy, he gives it to D.W., who intends to feed it to [[Sharky]].

At school, [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] tells Arthur that his cousin got a defective toy once. It turned out to be a rare item. Buster suggests that Arthur's toy is valuable, and [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] jumps in, asking what is valuable. She is disappointed when it turns out to be just a toy, instead of jewels or cars.

Line 34: Line 30:
At [[The Sugar Bowl]], Arthur tells Buster and Muffy how he heard D.W. asking [[Jane Read|their mom]] how many ponies she could buy for two million dollars. Buster wishes that there was another defective toy, and Arthur remembers that there is. He calls Grandma Thora, who recalls that she bought the toy from the bargain bin at [[David's Toys]], located on [[Oak Street]].

Muffy's butler [[Bailey]] has already started driving her to David's Toys. Arthur and Buster ride their bikes through a playground, a stream, [[Bowl City]], and other various locations. Muffy ends up getting to David's Toys first, and she asks [[Shop Owner|an employee]] for the Mutant Muck Monster. Buster distracts Muffy, and Arthur grabs the toy. Arthur and Muffy fight over the toy, and the employee decides that whoever touched the toy first is the owner. That turns out to be Arthur. However, Arthur is unable to afford the toy, and Muffy argues that she should be able to buy and own the toy, since she has her credit card. Buster pulls out some money that he originally intended to spend on a wheel of cheese, and Arthur and Buster share the toy. Arthur says that he will give half of whatever it's worth to Buster. However, D.W. still has a defect toy, and by extension, two million dollars.

Arthur and Buster consult Freddy K. for the value of the toy, He says that it is worth five dollars, but only after ten years. Arthur and Buster leave the store, and agree that the toy is cool because it looks so weird. The episode ends with Muffy trying to purchase the defective Mutant Muck Monster from D.W.
