The episode starts off with [[Arthur Read|Arthur]]'s class auditioning for a school play. [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] tap dances on the stage while [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]] takes notes and he taps his pencil to the music. Arthur, behind the curtain, tells the viewers that whenever they put on a school play, Francine gets bad parts which result in her getting hurt. The first bad part mentioned is the Cherry Tree in "George Washington and the Cherry Tree", where Buster as George Washington cut her down and she fell flat on her face. The next bad part is Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree (played by [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]]). Arthur stood on a ladder above them with a bucket of apples and dropped one on Francine's head to show how Newton discovered gravity. But then Arthur lost his balance and caused the rest of the apples, the bucket and himself to fall on Francine. The last bad part is the mighty cymbal in the orchestral orientation; Francine wore a cymbal on her head and [[Alan Powers|Brain]] hit it very hard with a mallet. After Arthur is done speaking, Francine walks out on stage wearing a football uniform, falls and gets hurt once again.

She just stay takin straight Ls.


After the title card, we then see Mr. Ratburn's class where he's giving them math problems to do. Then Arthur looks at Miss Sweetwater's class eating donuts, drinking milk and he licks his lips. Mr. Ratburn announces that it's time for the class to put on a school play and asks anyone if they have any ideas about what play they should do. Sue Ellen suggests that they should do a spooky story about a monster of mucus who gets his arms pulled off, but they grow back. Brain suggests that they should do a play about space and that he could make rocket fuel easily out of paper. Mr. Ratburn calls both their ideas good, but too complicated for them to do. He suggests that they should do a play about the inventor Thomas Edison. Francine asks if he invented anything that would hit her in the face, and Muffy asks if he invented the Dewey Decimal System because she thought Dewey was his middle name. Mr. Ratburn explains that Thomas ''Alva'' Edison invented the phonograph, which played music before CDs were invented.
Afta tha title card, we then peep Mista Muthafuckin Ratburnz class where he be givin dem math problems ta do. Fuck math, as long as u can count paper and weigh the goods you is set fo a promising career in trap-nomics.

Mista Muthafuckin Ratburn announces dat itz time fo' tha class ta put on a school play n' asks mah playas if they have any scams bout what tha fuck play they should do. They go right back up in muthafuckin Ratburn's ass when Sue Ellen claps back dat they should do a spooky rap on some monsta of mucus whoz ass gets his cold-ass thugged-out arms pulled off, but dig this they do be grow back. Da Dome suggests dat they should do a play bout space n' dat his schmoooove ass could make rocket gin n juice easily outta paper n' shit. Mista Muthafuckin Ratburn calls both they scams phat yo yo, but too fuckin expensive up fo' dem ta do yo. This be why them schools is need mo funding. Dude suggests dat they should do a play bout tha inventor Thomas Edison. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch, I do be talkin bout the muthafuckin lightbulbs n shit. Francine asks if he invented anythang dat would hit her up in tha face, n' Muffy asks if he invented tha Dewey Decimal System cuz dat dunkadelic hoe thought Dewey was his crazy-ass middle name. Mista Muthafuckin Ratburn explains dat Thomas ''Dril God'' Edison (aka The Life of the Party) invented tha phonograph, which played noize before soundcloud was invented.


Later that afternoon, as Mr. Ratburn is sitting in the auditorium assigning the parts, Arthur, Buster, the Brain, and Muffy approach and ask him to give Francine a good part because she has never had one. He says that he will.

Dude say dat da thug will, and when a homie say on god then you best believe he mean it. Pack a pipe and smoke to that.


The next day, Mr. Ratburn announces the parts: Buster will be the first light bulb, Arthur will be the first phonograph, Binky will be the locomotive and Francine will star as Thomas Edison. Everyone cheers for her and congratulates her. Francine promises she won't let the class down and will give 110% to her part.

Francine spends the next few days learning everything she can about Thomas Edison. When she goes to the library, she asks for the Thomas Edison section, only to learn that he's in the biographies and doesn't have his own section. Insulted, she declares the library to be "crummy".

Played Out, her dope ass declares tha library ta be "trash af" compared to Wikipizzle.


She rents out all the books they had and heads home, refusing Arthur and Buster's offer to go to the Sugar Bowl because she has to "study her inventions". That night, at home, she messes with the lights in her apartment to study light bulbs and annoying her older sister [[Catherine Frensky|Catherine]], who is trying to read. Catherine suggests she learn about a phonograph or a video camera, but Francine messes with the lights some more, finally forcing Catherine to call their mother to tattle on Francine.

Francine goes to the local stores where she studies the phonograph, cameras and light bulbs. While she is in the hardware store looking at lightbulbs, Prunella and Muffy ask Francine if she wants to go to the mall. Francine refuses, but offers to let the girls study incandescent filaments with her. When Muffy calls that boring, Francine is insulted once again and tells Muffy that without lights she would have to shop in the dark, but according to her, she already does. Muffy starts to shed tears and runs out, making Prunella get ticked off. Francine points out it was Muffy who started it, and that she should be embarrassed for insulting incandescent filaments.

During rehearsals, Francine is examining everyone's costumes, which the Brain offers to mend with if there is a problem. Francine notices Buster's light bulb costume has air holes, which outrages her because if a light bulb had them, they wouldn't work. Buster needs them to breathe, but Francine forces the Brain to patch them anyway.

In class the next day, Mr. Ratburn is asking the class when the first light bulb was invented, but Francine tells him he's wrong to call it a light bulb, much to the class's shock. According to her, Edison invented the incandescent lamp, and the name "light bulb" stuck later. Mr. Ratburn agrees and then Francine signals rehearsal.

At the rehearsal, Francine is angry because Sue Ellen's camera costume has no sprocket holes, which would ruin the film. Mr. Ratburn takes Sue Ellen to the Brain to fix it. Francine then notices Arthur (dressed as a phonograph) is not wearing his bell because it echoes. She forces it on him and shouts that she'll "uninvent" (expel) him if he takes it off again and that he won't be in her play at all. Arthur is very annoyed by Francine shouting at him, because she really does not have the authority to expel anyone.

The class is at the Sugar Bowl and deeply regrets asking Mr. Ratburn to give Francine a good part, because she acts like it's her show, not theirs. Arthur asks Muffy if she'll talk to Francine, but Muffy says she's not speaking to her. Prunella explains how Francine insulted Muffy's clothes. Binky threatens to pound Francine and pounds down on his soda to demonstrate, but gets stained with soda. Arthur plans to reason with her, but Francine refuses to accept his phone call because she is still studying her inventions.

Arthur tells Francine flat out that everyone is angry at her because of how she's treated everyone, but she cooly brushes it off because "they don't have her talent at winning personality". Fed up, the students vow to teach Francine a lesson.

Errors

  • Plot Hole: How could Buster not breathe in his light bulb costume, if there were holes for his arms?
Francine and Catherine's room, having excluded Catherine's bed.
  • In the play finale for all the families to see, Francine, Buster, Muffy, (who is also shown at the flashback when Francine was a cherry tree.) George, Francine, and Sue Ellen can be seen in the audience, however, the real classmates are performing on stage.
  • Although Catherine made her debut in this episode, her and Francine's bedroom lacked her bed (showing only Francine's bed), which was also lacked in "Francine's Bad Hair Day" and many other episodes in this season.
  • When Muffy says "Me, too" the Brain's hand is pale.
  • When Mr. Ratburn asks the class to name one of Edison's inventions, nobody answers. But it's hardly believable that Brain wouldn't know the answer, especially since he claims he can "easily" make rocket fuel.
    Half of the Brain is copied onto Buster.
  • In the scene at the Sugar Bowl, Buster's sweater and skin tone of his hands match the Brain's in one shot.
  • When Mr. Ratburn is speaking to the class about the phonograph, Alex appears to look like Patrick.
  • In the beginning, Francine's body gear was green and purple. later it was changed to orange.
  • In the beginning just as Sue Ellen stands up to announce her idea for the play, Francine's sweater is mistakenly colored yellow, as can be seen while Binky is talking in the foreground.
  • At one point, Luke can be seen in Mr. Ratburn's class.
  • In the classroom, Alex and Maria are sitting next to each other when Ratburn collects their papers. Later in the scene, Maria is next to Otis and Alex is next to George.
  • When Mr. Ratburn is placing a book down, its top can be seen overlapping the two books.
  • When Francine gets angry about Sue Ellen's costume not having sprocket holes, Sue Ellen's hair is brown instead of orange
