Plot

The episode begins with Petunia making pancakes for Mime and Giggles. She gets a telephone call and, for a while, doesn't pay attention to stove. After at a few seconds, her tail catches fire and she runs around, screaming. Giggles reacts quickly, grabs the table-cover, and attempts to smother the fire. Unfortunately, the table-cover ignites and Giggles is set on fire as well. Mime desperately tries to call Lumpy at the fire-station, but since he's a mime, he is not allowed to talk. Unable to understand him, Lumpy hangs up, and Mime goes to the fire-station himself.

Meanwhile, Cuddles (who works for the firebrigade) rescues a cat out of a tree, when Mime arrives. Despite Mime's best efforts to explain the situation, the firebrigade still doesn't understand him. Luckily, Cuddles spots the fire from up the ladder and convinces the firebrigade to go there. Before driving off, they fail to put the ladder down, and Cuddles is impaled by a fence around the tree as he falls from the ladder.

When the fire-engine arrives at the burning house, Pop and Cub are watching it. Toothy tries to enter the house by breaking the front door with an axe, but he accidentally hits Petunia who was about to escape. Sniffles tries to enter the house via a second floor window he reaches using a ladder, but the window explodes as he reaches the top. Sniffles is cut to pieces by glass shards. Cub picks up Sniffles' helmet on the ground, but the ladder falls down and slices Cub to pieces.

The Mole tries to attach the fire-hose to a fire hydrant, but instead attaches it to the fire truck's gas tank. Disco Bear, who controls the fire-hose, doesn't see this and sprays gasoline on the fire. The fire spreads down the hose and sets other houses on fire. The fire-engine explodes and Flaky is hit by the siren and dies. Luckily for the firebrigade, Handy arrives in his helicopter and extinguishes the fire with water from his helicopter. But it is not enough, and Handy goes to a nearby river to get more water.

Unfortunately, Handy is unable to press the right button because he has no hands. When he finally succeeds, Russell's boat is sailing underneath the helicopter, and Handy takes some trash from Russell's boat and Russell himself instead of water. Not knowing that, Handy flies back. Meanwhile, Lifty and Shifty have stolen Pop's wallet from his corpse (he was probably killed by the explosion of the fire-engine), but they argue who gets how much of what's inside. Eventually, Lifty knocks Shifty down and takes the entire wallet, but his head is crushed by an engine block that has fallen out of Handy's helicopter. Shifty then takes Pop's wallet, but he is impaled by multiple sharp objects dropped from Handy's helicopter. Shifty falls on his back, pointing the weapons upwards, causing a falling Russell to be impaled as well. Disco Bear accidentally sets Handy's helicopter on fire, making it spin out of control. Handy is able to activate the ejector seat on time, however this only causes Handy to be sliced to pieces by the rotorblades, causing Nutty and The Mole to run for cover.

The Mole accidentally falls in the sewer, but survives and starts walking, unknowingly turning a giant ball-valve which releases gas into the entire town. He ignites a match, not knowing that there is a gas-leakage causing the entire town to explode. Mime rides up on his unicycle carrying the cat from earlier. Mime looks around and sheepishly pretends to walk down an unseen staircase behind some wreckage. The episode ends showing the frying pan with the 3 burnt pancakes, where it all began.
