[[Francis Haney|Mr. Haney]] gives an envelope to [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] to give to his [[Jane Read|mom]]. The episode begins with Arthur's friends wondering what's in the envelope, since Mr. Haney said nothing about what was in it. The kids all assume it is something bad, and Francine suggests that Arthur must be in trouble, though Buster says this may not be the case. Then Francine and Buster have a tug-of-war with the envelope until Binky grabs it and says, "I bet you failed Ratburn's big history tests." Then Francine assumes that Arthur will have to go to summer school. Then we see Arthur in his desk with stacks of textbooks with Mr. Ratburn enjoying an ice cream as he watches a tornado outside his window.

In his fantasy, Francine has Pal, the Brain and Buster go camping in the woods, and Muffy and Prunella roller skate down the block. Buster reappears (this time, as a swimmer) and says that those who don't pass their history tests are doomed to repeat it. The fantasy ends with Arthur's school crashing into the ground below. | ||
Arthur is worried about the contents of the envelope thinking that it's about him, so he tries to come up with a way to give it to her without her opening it. Francine suggests running it through the wash and letting her find it there, while Brain suggests dropping it into a storm sewer, where the many water passageways of the world would send it all the way to China. Arthur disagrees with all of these bizarre ideas and decides to handle it himself. At home, he is feeding Pal, but is so wrapped up over the envelope that he repeatedly fails to give Pal any food or water, much to Pal's annoyance. Arthur then leaves the envelope out in the open on the kitchen table, just in time for D.W. to barge in asking what it is. Arthur pretends it's nothing and tells her to leave, causing D.W. to get in his face until he admits that it's just an envelope the principal wanted him to give Mom. D.W. immediately declares that Arthur's in trouble and tells their Mom who comes home from work, but she is too distracted to acknowledge the envelope. She finally feeds Pal and while D.W. continues to egg on Arthur, Jane sifts through the mail while talking on the phone, absentmindedly throwing most of the mail into the garbage along with the envelope. Arthur is relieved that he is in the clear. | Arthur is worried about the contents of the envelope thinking that it's about him, so he tries to come up with a way to give it to her without her opening it.
