This episode starts at Buster's house where Arthur is sleeping over. The boys watch a televised horror flick called "The Squirrels", a parody of the film The Birds. The next day, Arthur and Buster are afraid to go outside or have the windows open for fear of the friendly chattering squirrels. At school, all of the kids were terrified after watching the scary movie. To overcome their fears, the children rent fun movies about squirrels. This only calms them down for a little while, though. They finally get a chance to face their fears, when a squirrel runs into the Read house and gets its leg caught in the door. Arthur and Buster bring the squirrel to the vet, and then to their school. Mr. Ratburn's students realize that there isn't anything wrong with squirrels and they are just harmless fuzzy animals.
