When a blizzard snows the Tobin family in, Beef struggles to avoid cabin fever by running the household like the Royal British Navy. But after a box of special candy is found half-eaten, Judy, Wolf, Moon, Ham, Honeybee, Jerry, and Mr. Golovkin turn on Beef, and everyone gets at each other's throats, threatening the sanity of the household.

Out of concern for Beef's health, the kids push him to see a doctor. Meanwhile, a grave marked "Wife" pushes Honeybee, Judy, and Aunt Dirt into researching the corpse's life.
