[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is sitting at his desk in his room thinking about how he could make a few changes to his bedroom, and proceeds to daydream about himself living in a large house, equipped with everything he could ever want. It contains many rooms, among them the arcade, the wobbly room (which he says is "good for bouncing"), and a roller coaster ride. The house even has the ability to clean itself, much to Arthur's pleasure. His daydream is then interrupted by his mom, who asks how his room is coming along. He says that he's "working on it", but we can see that his room is actually a huge mess.

His mother, Jane, insists he clean his room, but he says he'll "do it later". That night, Arthur is trying to watch Alien Zoo Squad, but Jane tells him to go clean his room.

Instead of cleaning, he calls [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] to tell him what's happening on T.V., but Buster's too distracted, so he has Buster place the phone by the T.V. It works until Jane hears the movie on the telephone line, and makes him get off.

Despite their objections, he asks them to just try it. Arthur tries to clean up, but D.W. annoys him by throwing out his stuff, including Buster's postcards and a bag to Muffy's cookies (with his picture on it), which he wants to save.

She also takes out his light bulb costume and moon boots, which annoys Arthur even more. When she tries to throw out a Popsicle stick, he objects yet again, claiming it's part of his collection (even though he doesn't have one). When she throws it out anyway, he has her rearrange his book shelf, and she sees the homework he has, remarking that he must love to do homework.

David comes up instead and tells them to stop arguing, then the work will move a lot faster. The two do so, and are able to clean up the room quickly, and when they are done, it looks as good as new.

D.W. interrupts and asks that she clean her room alone, not wanting Arthur to touch her stuff. Although David objects, Jane and Arthur are happy at the idea, and Arthur thanks D.W. for letting him go.

Arthur finally makes it to the park in time for Happy Crazy Wow Day, and has fun with his friends. After the festivities, Francine asks Arthur why he was late. Although Arthur initially blames D.W., he then admits the fault is his because he hadn't cleaned his room in a while. Brain said that he had done something similar to that, and adds that one time his mother wouldn't let him do any extra credit projects until he cleaned it up.
