Summary
The local creek is polluted! The culprit: pesticide run-off from neighborhood lawns. Francine is determined to get the word out at the annual Earth Day rally. But will a crippling fear of public speaking derail this aspiring environmental activist? [4]
Plot
Arthur was trying to do the intro, but Francine was trying to get away from Muffy and Buster, but they brought her to the stage for a speech. Francine then faints in Arthur's arms. He explains there has been some technical difficulties and thanks them for their patience. Then he shouts for the show to start.
After the title card, Arthur, Francine, Buster, and Muffy are having a picnic when Buster saw some dead fish, whom Francine discusses with her dad. The next day, they watch a video on pollution which Muffy uploaded on YouWhoTube. Francine's dad decides for a public speaker at the Earth Day rally. Arthur and Buster vote for Francine, to Muffy's humilation. At school, Francine tries to do a report about Lexingburg, but has a fear of public speaking. Later, Muffy tries to listen to Francine, but she quit. Then Ladonna arrives and offers to help, and gives her a pen. Then Buster arrives and takes the pen from her. Francine and Ladonna practiced hard, and then Francine has to speak to an audience! Disappointed, Francine goes back inside. Buster didn't care much. Ladonna tries to encourage Francine, but she suggested Ladonna do it. She tries at the rally, but the speech flew away.
