Plot[]
Stu has invented a remote-controlled bee that is supposed to retrieve "nectar" from a "flower". He shows this to Drew, who plays a prank; when Stu goes into the house to answer the phone, Drew surreptitiously puts the flower in the back pocket of Lou, who is busy trimming the hedges. Then, under the guise of wanting Stu to demonstrate the bee again, Drew has Stu take the controls and inadvertently buzz Lou with the bee, which goes after the flower in Lou's back pocket. Lou blames Stu for this and goes indoors. Stu is mad at Drew, but Drew says it was just a practical joke. Angelica, who witnessed this, is inspired to play practical jokes on the babies. Meanwhile, the babies are playing at being Sir Tommy, King Chuckie, Sir Philip and Queen Lillian. Because Lillian trips on the doll Mr. Quiggly, they have him sent to the "dungeon". The babies walk through a play tunnel, which Angelica shakes. She has Dil hold onto streamers attached to the end of the tunnel, and then she hides, making it seem like Dil is the one who shook the tunnel. Angelica then loosens the wheels of the Reptar Wagon, and while Tommy pulls the wagon with Lil and Chuckie in it, the wheels fall off. The babies see Dil holding tools (given to him by Angelica), and again assume that Dil caused the trouble. While the babies are sleeping, prankster Angelica strikes again-- she puts Chuckie's glasses on Lil, Lil's bow on Phil, and Chuckie's shoes on Tommy. This causes confusion as Tommy stumbles, Chuckie can't see, Lil can't see either and they think Phil is Lil. When they sort each other out, they again blame Dil, but they find evidence Angelica did everything. To make up for Dil's wrongful blame, he is made a prince.
Trivia[]
- When Stu says, "I know you are, but what am I?", this is a reference to the late Pee-wee Herman; somebody would insult him, and he'd say, "I know you are, but what am I?".
