The episode's unique title card and one "Goof" there.

Toothy, the paper boy, delivers a newspaper to Lumpy, who proceeds to read it. He
comes to a story about an asteroid or comet heading for Earth. The scene fades from
the photograph of the comet in the paper to the actual comet as it flies to Earth,
slowly burning up upon entry into the atmosphere. While a tired Lumpy is hard at
work chopping firewood in his backyard, the core of the comet, which resembles a
seed, lands in a bag of seeds on Lumpy's porch. Lumpy picks up the seed from the
bag and, not seeing anything wrong with it, proceeds to plant it.

After Lumpy plants the seed, he turns around. A large stalk with a pod on the end
immediately grows out of the ground. When the pod opens, a clone of Lumpy (a Pod
Lumpy) walks out, the only difference between them being that the Pod Lumpy is
green, has a small antenna on top of its head, and has light green eyes. Lumpy
thinks for a second, then gets an idea. The scene cuts to Pod Lumpy chopping
Lumpy's firewood, with Lumpy relaxing in a lawn chair on his porch. During its
labors, however, the Pod Lumpy accidentally cuts off its own leg, alarming Lumpy.
Much to Lumpy's shock, the Pod Lumpy regenerates its leg and another Pod Lumpy is
born from the severed leg. Realizing what this means, Lumpy gets another idea.

Lumpy uses his new clones as slaves.

Lumpy uses his two Pod Lumpys to chop his firewood twice as fast. When he runs out
of juice, he orders one of the Pod Lumpys to slice the other one in half. It
obliges and slices the other Pod Lumpy in half with its ax, causing two new ones to
regenerate. Lumpy continues doing this until he eventually has an entire army of
Pod Lumpys fixing his house, planting seeds, serving him, etc. Sniffles, the
mailman, approaches Lumpy's house and bumps into one of the Pod Lumpys. In an
effort to be helpful, the Pod Lumpy begins wiping Sniffles' glasses while Sniffles
enjoys the service.

Elsewhere, Petunia leaves her house to collect her mail. Unfortunately, when she
reaches into her mailbox, one of the Pod Lumpys hammers the box down with Petunia's
arm still inside. This causes half of her arm to get cut off. As she shrieks in
horror, the Pod Lumpy begins hammering her head, bashing her brain in and causing
one of her eyeballs to fall out. Another Pod Lumpy picks up the eyeball and plants
it in the ground, believing it to be a seed. Meanwhile, the Pod Lumpy that was
cleaning Sniffles' glasses finishes its task. Unfortunately, it has been rubbing in
the same area for so long that Sniffles' now-polished skull is revealed, and he
falls over, dead.

The Pod Lumpy mistakes Toothy for firewood.

Lumpy finally notices that something is wrong when Cuddles runs by, screaming,
being chased by a Pod Lumpy carrying a mop. Lumpy jumps into action to stop his
well-meaning yet deadly clones from doing any more damage, but not before Cuddles
is mopped to death. Lumpy flies his crop duster overhead, pouring poison into the
spray tank.

Back on the ground, Toothy narrowly avoids being hacked with an axe by one of the
Pod Lumpys when they both notice Lumpy's plane. Lumpy releases the poison and all
of the Pod Lumpys immediately fall to the ground, seemingly unconscious. Toothy
celebrates his good fortune, but soon begins choking on the poisonous air. He ends
up coughing out several internal organs and falls over, dead. Suddenly, all the Pod
Lumpys regain consciousness and yawn.

Lumpy attempts to permanently kill the Pod Lumpys.

Later, one of the Pod Lumpys rides Toothy's bicycle and throws a newspaper through
one of Lumpy's windows. Throughout the town, Pod Lumpys do random chores, such as
pouring hot water on a plant, chopping down a tree, and fixing an appliance in the
middle of the road, indicating that the Pod Lumpys are now the dominant species.
One Pod Lumpy has apparently died, having somehow been crushed by a safe, while
another runs around on fire. Lumpy pulls his car into a parking space, using two
Pod Lumpys to lift and move the car for him to get around. He exits the car and
locks the doors by pressing a button on a remote, prompting the Pod Lumpys to make
noises affirming the car has been locked. On the ground nearby, a flower begins to
bloom with Petunia's eyeball in its stigmas.
