Summary
When Arthur and friends discover what looks like a list of their class rankings in Principal Haney's office, they are all taken for a surprise. If Arthur's really Number Two, then he must be really smart! And is there anything Francine can do to move up rank?
Plot
The episode begins with Mr. Haney at his office who makes a phone call. But he doesn't know that one of his papers flew away. It landed at Buster's feet, who later showed it to Francine, who's at #24, and Arthur, who's at #2. The next day, Buster wakes up for school. On the way, he found 11 cents. He tells Arthur about it, only to be interrupted by Mr. Ratburn. Meanwhile, Francine goes to confront Mr. Haney about her class rank, but was afraid to. But then, Mr. Haney found her and recruited her to speak at the Harvest Day celebration, which she accepts. Meanwhile, Arthur was daydreaming about going to space when Buster interrupts him because he was talking about the geography test. Meanwhile, Francine is talking to Muffy about her class rankings. Muffy mentions that she's at #12, then gives her a #1 shirt. Later, at Mr. Haney's office, Mr. Haney is still talking about the Harvest Day celebration. When Mr. Haney leaves, Francine found a book that says class rankings, but it was a cruise brochure. When Mr. Haney returns Francine was startled she knocked over some grapes. Mr. Haney wasn't bothered by it and told her she can wear a pumpkin costume for the celebration.
At the Harvest Day celebration, Francine had the pumpkin costime on, to the amusement of Muffy. Brain offered Francine a candied apple, but she can't eat it due to the effects of her costume. Meanwhile, Arthur talks to Buster about his C-minus on the geography test, but Buster wasn't paying attention because he has to do 11 of everything. At the shirt booth, Prunella is giving away free T-shirts for guessing the right number of nuts, but Buster got annoyed at her, but Arthur led him away. Later, Francine wished she'd not known her class rank while Arthur was thinking about the test, while Buster decides to change his name to Maximillian because it has 11 letters. Then Mr. Haney arrived and saw his seating assignment paper, which he was lookng for. While Mr. Haney seats the people, Francine, Arthur, and Muffy say "Don't start," ending the episode.
