In ancient Greece, [[Diogenes of Sinope]] arrives in a town, declaring that he is "looking for an honest man". He asks [[Arthur Read|Arthur]], who says he thinks he is an honest man. [[D.W. Read|D.W.]], called Delta Omega, says that he is not, assuming that he has been lying for years about taking [[Snowball|her snowball]]. She then gives Diogenes directions to where he can find what he is looking for. Diogenes arrives at a cave, where he finds the [[Tibble Twins|Tibble twins]], who claim to be honest. The Tibbles fight over Diogenes' oil lamp, causing it to slip out of his hand, fall on the ground and shatter. Diogenes then regrets not looking for the meaning of life instead.

After the title card, [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] is in the park eating ice cream until the Tibble twins come along and want his ice cream. They lie to Buster, saying that they had a friend named Kevin, but he was taken away from aliens and they never saw him again. Buster asks, "If you never saw Kevin again, how do you know all this?" The Tibbles lie again, saying the birds told them and some aliens can turn into animals, and something you can understand the birds saying. Buster quickly runs away in panic and leaves the ice cream. The Tibbles start to fight who gets to eat it first. 

At the [[Molina's House|Molina]] residence, the Tibbles notice [[Vicita Molina|Vicita]] playing with a [[Mary Moo Cow]] doll, and her brother [[Alberto Molina|Alberto]]'s [[Bionic Bunny]] action figure. The Tibbles want the action figure, since they saw the commercial that claims it can fly. They go to Vicita and lie to her that they got three ponies for Christmas and she will get a pony named Thumper if they give her the action figure. Vicita doesn't want to give Alberto's things away, until Timmy said that they will give Thumper to [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] if Vicita refuses. She quickly gives them the action figure. They throw the toy out of the window, thinking it will fly. The toy breaks, and they see [[Alberto Molina|Alberto]] and [[Mrs. Tibble]] looking back up at them. In the living room, Tommy said that it was the TV's fault, because it lied to them. Alberto points out that they also lied to Vicita about promising her a pony. Mrs. Tibble asks them how they will pay Alberto back the money for the toy, which costs $17.95. Timmy attempts to give Alberto a plastic cow, but he declines. Alberto makes a deal with the Tibbles: If they promise not to lie anymore, they don't have to pay back for the toy right away. They agree to this deal. 

The Tibbles are now in the yard with D.W., gathering rocks to play rockball. They tell D.W. what Alberto said to them; which was that "they were the smartest kids he ever met." D.W. doesn't believe that, but Timmy said he didn't exactly use those words, but he meant to say that. The Tibbles eventually have enough rocks to play rockball. To play the game, you have to hit the rock with a bat as far as you can. D.W. questions if this game is allowed, and the Tibbles respond that they're not allowed to play baseball, but rockball doesn't have bases and it's a different game. Timmy throws a rock at D.W. and she hits the rock, but it ends up hitting Alberto. The Tibbles run away, while D.W. gets scared and drops the bat.

 

 

Later at the park, they tell Buster that he is so nice and smart, he always shares his candy, and they hope to be just like him. Buster is excited at the thought of being a role model, and gives the Tibbles some candy, although they take more than Buster expected.

*[[Diogenes of Sinope]] was a real-world Greek philosopher. A popular story has him walking around with a lamp looking for an "honest man". He was one of the founders of cynic philosophy (from Greek ''kynikos'' = doglike), that taught people to be simple and honest like dogs. He is often depicted in the company of dogs.

*Diogenes passes by the {{W|Great Sphinx of Giza|Great Sphinx}} in Egypt.
