Summary
Arthur's wish to play hooky becomes a group pact when the kids start daring and double-daring one another, but things don't go as planned.
Plot
Arthur, Buster, Francine, and the Brain resent the large amount of homework they are assigned, which culminates in a large number of dares issued to skip school.
However, the next morning everyone agrees to call of the plot due to guilt (personified by a giant clam). Francine fails to receive the message and carries on with the dare.
After several failed attempts to get Francine into the school unnoticed, Binky agrees to distract Mr. Ratburn. When Binky's distraction fails, Francine is caught coming into the school late and everyone gets sent to the principal's office to figure out what happened.
Everyone confesses, but only Francine receives punishment as she was the only one who actually was not in attendance at school. Mr Ratburn is also happy that Arthur, Buster and the Brain admitted to him why they didn't do their homework.
Mr Ratburn resolves this by giving them an extra assignment. The episode ends with Mr Ratburn and Mr. Marco watching Dark Bunny.
Trivia
- Mr. Marco's Dark Bunny tape is of the episode from "The Last Of Mary Moo Cow".
