Monday: Clarence is eating his Rough Riders Chicken at lunchtime. He tries the new Rough Riders sauce, but he finds it gross. When Jeff and Sumo try the sauce, they find it delicious. In class, Clarence is presenting his report, but Ms. Baker tells him he's out of time because she needs to go to a meeting. Clarence then pretends that he needs to go to the bathroom so he can sneak into the meeting. When he peeks into the meeting, the Rough Riders employees played a video about that the school district has decided to go into business with Rough Riders Chicken, much to Clarence's excitement.

Tuesday: Clarence tells Jeff and Sumo all about what Rough Riders is going to do with the school; most importantly, serve Rough Riders Chicken in the cafeteria and fix up the library. Jeff states that he has a bad feeling about the entire plan, but he decided to ignore it.

Wednesday: The Rough Riders Library is open for all children to get Rough Riders books and chicken for lunch with Rough Riders sauce. In the now-new Rough Riders class, Clarence asks Jeff why math class hasn't started. Jeff says he forgot, which is very unlike him, and tells Clarence that he almost has a full coupon book and when Jeff sees that he spilled some sauce on his coupon book, he licks it off, which is also very unlike him.

Thursday: Aberdale Elementary has now renamed itself as Rough Riders Elementary. Josh is leading a school assembly, declaring the success of the now newly named school and the sponsorship. Everyone in the school is hypnotized, excluding Clarence. When Clarence asks Jeff why the plan is starting to feel like a takeover, Jeff replies in a hypnotized voice: "Nonsense, Clarence. You are starting to sound like you do not believe in 'Team Rough Riders'."

Friday: The cafeteria has fully transformed into a full-on Rough Riders Restaurant. The children are serving food and there are now random adults in the school eating Rough Riders food. Clarence enters the cafeteria and tries to find Jeff and Sumo. He soon finds Jeff working in the now-new restaurant and asks him where Sumo was. Jeff doesn't answer and walks away, leaving Clarence crying out for him to stay. Upset, Clarence runs out the cafeteria, seeing that there are kids, and now adults are brainwashed in the school. Clarence starts to think about the previous days, realizing the sauce was the main culprit in brainwashing the kids, so he goes to stop Joshua.

In the gym, Joshua and Sumo are surrounded by mysterious men wearing chicken beaks. In a cult-like manner, He gives Sumo a chalice filled with sauce. Suddenly, Clarence bursts into the room. He rides on a little platform with wheels and launches himself off, hitting Joshua, spilling the chalice, hitting Sumo (making him back to normal), and knocking the candles over, making a fire. Joshua falls into the fire, revealing his true form, a half chicken, half man creature. Sumo and Clarence bust out of the room, and Clarence's heroes, Nature Kate, Keith Mack, Rake Backburn, and Don Delano arrive and explodes the Rough Riders Elementary, killing the people on the elementary.

At the class, Clarence explains to the class why Rough Rider's chicken is his favorite food and the students cheer, revealing that the entire plot of the episode was actually Clarence's report.
