At Petunia's house, Petunia is singing and making pancakes for Giggles and Mime.

Petunia makes three irregular shaped pancakes (one of which is shaped like a rabbit
you all know) and both Giggles and Mime are famished. Moments later, the phone
rings, and Petunia answers it. She begins talking to the other person. Suddenly,
her tail catches fire due to her leaning against the stove with the burner still
active, and she runs around, screaming. Giggles, noticing this, reacts quickly. She
grabs the tablecloth, and attempts to smother the fire. Giggles manages to put the
fire out, and she and Petunia sigh in relief. Unfortunately, the tablecloth ignites
and Giggles is set on fire as well.

Mime decides to take action and desperately tries to call the fire station. In the
process, he forgets what the number for 911 was, but quickly remembers it and soon
dials it in. Lumpy, the chief of the fire brigade is seen playing with some
matches. Seconds later, the phone rings and he immediately answers it. Mime is
unable to communicate what's happening because he's a mime. Giggles then comes upon
a vase with flowers in it. She instantly grabs the vase and tries to dump some
water on her, but there was only one drop, and she begins screaming when the
flowers she's holding ignites and the fire on her only increases. Mime continues to
silently rant about the situation that's happening, but Lumpy, believing nobody is
on the line, hangs up. Because of this, Mime hangs up the phone as well, and runs
out the house to seek help.

Can Mime save the day without talking?

Meanwhile, Cuddles, who works for the fire-brigade, rescues Mittens out of a tree,
while his fellow firemen, consisting of Toothy, Sniffles, Disco Bear, and The Mole,
cheer him on. Mime arrives and despite his best efforts to explain the situation at
Petunia's house, the fire-brigade doesn't understand him. Luckily, Cuddles spots
the fire from atop the ladder and convinces the fire-brigade to spring into action.
However, as the brigade rides off, they forget to lower the ladder, and as a
result, Cuddles loses his balance, and begins falling. He is impaled on a picket
fence that surrounds the tree, while Mittens, unharmed, proceeds to play with
Cuddles' severed scut.

When the fire-engine arrives at the burning house, Pop and Cub are watching it from
the sidewalk. There, they notice Petunia, who is still screaming, and on fire.
Toothy tries to enter the house by throwing an axe at the front door, but he
accidentally hits the now completely burned Petunia, who was about to escape
(Giggles is nowhere to be found, as she has burned to death), pinning her to the
door and killing her. Sniffles tries to enter the house via the second floor
window. He reaches using a ladder, but the window explodes as he reaches the top,
the glass shards cutting him to pieces. Cub picks up Sniffles' helmet off the
ground. Pop then notices the ladder is falling, and places Cub on his other side,
but the ladder shifts direction, and slices Cub into multiple pieces. Pop then
screams over his blunder.

Firefighter? More like Firehelper.

The Mole tries to attach the fire hose to a fire hydrant, but instead attaches it
to the fire truck's diesel tank. Disco Bear, who controls the fire hose, doesn't
see this and sprays fuel on the fire. The fire spreads down the hose and this
causes the fire-engine to explode. Flaky, standing on the street runs away when she
realizes the remains of the engine flying towards her. Unfortunately, she is hit on
the back of her head by the siren, forcing her brain out of her head. Disco Bear is
now completely on fire, and now he's unable to hold the hose straight, which is now
spewing fire on the other buildings. Luckily for the fire-brigade, Handy arrives in
his helicopter and extinguishes the fire in one of the houses with water from his
helicopter. Nutty begins cheering him on, while The Mole (facing the wrong
direction) waves him off. Needing more water to extinguish the other buildings,
Handy flies to a nearby river.

Unfortunately, Handy is unable to press the right button because he has no hands.
When he finally succeeds, Russell's garbage boat sails underneath the helicopter
and Handy's crane reaches down into Russell's boat. Not knowing this, Handy flies
back. Meanwhile, Lifty and Shifty have stolen Pop's wallet from his slightly burnt
corpse (he was probably killed by the explosion of the fire-engine), but they argue
over who gets to keep the money. Eventually, Lifty knocks Shifty down and takes the
entire wallet.

Amidst all the chaos, Lifty and Shifty still have the time to argue who gets to
keep their stolen loot.
Then Handy comes into the scene to dump the load, but instead of water, piles of
garbage and Russell fall out. Lifty then laughs over his victor, but his head is
crushed by an engine block, forcing out his brain through the piston bores. Shifty
then takes Pop's wallet, and then when he looks up, he gets impaled by multiple
sharp objects dropped from Handy's helicopter. Some of those items include used
hypodermic needles (still in their syringes) in the eyes (both of which infect
Shifty, their owner), a ski, a walking stick (the same one used by The Mole), an
arrow, a sword, a giant needle, and a machete impale through his body. Shifty,
losing his balance falls dead on his back, pointing the sharp objects upwards,
causing a falling Russell to be impaled on them as well.

Disco Bear, severely burnt and still unable to hold the hose straight, accidentally
sets Handy's helicopter on fire, making it ascend rapidly and causing the windows
to crack. Then the helicopter falls into a nosedive. Handy is able to activate the
ejector seat in time with his head, however this only causes Handy to get launched
into the rotor blades, and get sliced into pieces. His remains fall on the sidewalk
below, causing Nutty to scream in panic, and The Mole walks away.

The Mole's ultimate blind mistake.

The Mole accidentally falls in the sewer but survives and starts walking,
unknowingly turning a giant ball-valve which releases gas into the town. He ignites
a match, not knowing that there is a gas-leak, causing the entire town to explode
and kill all of its residents. When the dust settles, the town is shown to be
nothing but a barren wasteland.

The start of it all.

Mime rides up on his unicycle carrying Mittens from earlier. Mime looks around and
sheepishly pretends to walk down an unseen staircase behind some wreckage. The
episode ends by showing the frying pan with the three burnt pancakes (which is in
the background), the object that started it all.
