During lunch, Arthur and his family are discussing getting Arthur tickets to go to "You Do the Most Embarrassing Things Live" at Wonder World, and D.W. wants to go too. Arthur doesn't want to take her, claiming that every time he does, D.W. does something to embarrass him. D.W., of course, denies that she does stuff like that, and makes Arthur "name just one time" she had done something like that. Arthur brings up a time he took her to a movie with him and his friends: D.W.'s noisily eating her popcorn and drinking her soda, but Arthur tells her to just be quiet and watch the movie, though D.W. can't see the movie because the person sitting in front of her is blocking her view of it--so to see the movie better, D.W. stands up on top of her seat, but quickly loses balance and her bucket of popcorn lands on Mr. Haney's head.

D.W. claims that had happened a long time (the previous winter) and makes Arthur come up with something that happened more recently--so Arthur notes how D.W. had thought that she was going to die from eating a green potato chip, which causes the rest of the family to laugh. D.W. tries insisting to her brother that she's mature enough to go to the show and wants to prove it to him, though Arthur's convinced that she won't be able to do so.

Arthur and D.W. go to the local library, where the latter noisily wheels in a squeaky wagon, disrupting the other library patrons. D.W. tries finding a "grown-up" book to check out, and soon finds a humongous book on macroeconomics. Arthur points out that D.W. doesn't know how to read, but she claims that their parents can read it to her as a bedtime story, though she needs Arthur to remind her on what the book itself is about. Later, they go to the ice cream shop that Brain's family runs, and D.W. declines getting her favorite ice cream and instead gets "something vegetarian." While there, Mrs. Powers remarks that she heard the cutest thing about D.W., and is hoping that she is well. Confused, D.W. asks Arthur what that meant as they're walking through the park. At the park, Mrs. Deegan and Mrs. Barnes call to D.W. hoping that she is feeling better, as they "wouldn't want to lose her". The Tibble twins then show up laughing at D.W., mocking her for thinking green potato chips would kill her.

D.W. spends the week trying to eavesdrop on Arthur every time he's hanging with Buster, hoping to catch him in the act of telling the green chip story to his friend. However, Buster foils her every time with a jolly "Hello, D.W.!", catching her off guard. Later in the week, Arthur reveals to D.W. that Buster's mom, Bitzi, put the story of the green chip in her "Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella" column in the local newspaper, exposing D.W.'s secret to the entire town. D.W. then has a fantasy of herself as the President of the United States, and is mocked in front of the press by a reporter (who happens to be Francine) for her fear of green potato chips. Desperate, D.W. begs Arthur to help her stop the word from getting out, and he agrees to, but only to avoid her torturing him with her nagging and wailing.

The two go around town collecting every newspaper with the story in it, and send them to the recycling center. Unfortunately, everybody calls for a re-delivery due to the missing papers, ruining D.W.'s plan. Back at home, she says that she's doomed and that she can never show her face again.So she grabs a football helmet from the closet and puts it on. Suddenly, Arthur and D.W. overhear their mom on the phone in the kitchen, telling D.W.'s story to a friend while cutting out copies of it from various newspapers, explaining how funny she found the story and how plans on sending it to other relatives. We see Jane's lips turn big and talk fast about sending it to their relatives. Horrified, D.W. bursts in and ultimately breaks down in tears at what their mom did. Jane, not realizing that D.W. found the green chip incident to be embarrassing, promises to never tell the story ever again.

D.W. apologizes to Arthur for accusing him, and Arthur (though obviously somewhat reluctant) gives her a ticket to show to make her feel better. Jane then asks Arthur to take all the newspapers she had to the recycling center, much to his dismay.
