[edit] Plot
Ren is reading a magazine when he sees Stimpy making sound effects with his bellybutton. Ren, annoyed by this, tries to warn Stimpy that he will go insane. Stimpy doesn't listen to this and creates a volcano with his bellybutton. He is sharpening pencils with it when Ren once again warns him of his addiction.
Late at night, Stimpy hears a voice coming from his bellybutton. He stretches and goes inside, which is followed by a montage of his little funkadelic adventures accompanied by "Jerry the Bellybutton Elf Song" (performed by the Masters of Reality). He meets Jerry the Bellybutton Elf, and becomes his slave. The two become good friends, that is, until Stimpy serves Jerry a plate of lint loaf. Jerry goes insane and tries to murder Stimpy, unmasking to reveal a giant porkchop and revealing himself to be "Adonis, Lord of Chaos!!" in a booming voice.
Meanwhile, Ren sees what is left of Stimpy and sobs. However, this doesn't stop him from throwing a party for his cronies. Finally, Stimpy's head and arm extends from the bellybutton. Ren grabs a hold of his faithful idiot, and the two are sucked into the bellybutton. After the party is over, Muddy Mudskipper's wife, Bimbi, eats the bellybutton!

[edit] Plot
Ren and Stimpy are stranded in the desert and dying. Ren collapses and Stimpy can do nothing but drag him through the rest of the way. But afterwards, Stimpy can't take one more step, then he eventually collapses. But realizing that they come across a road and noticing that a motorhome is coming by, Ren has the idea of getting on the RV by letting Stimpy pretend he got hit by a car. But Ren gets hit instead, literally. Then we see that Mr. and Mrs. Pipe were driving the RV and they realize that they hit him, seeing that they are still alive. They offer them a ride and become their pets. Ren takes a shower...a hot shower with Mr. Pipe.
Then, they eat. At first, there was good food, but since Mrs. Pipe said that Ren and Stimpy had been in the sun too long, they shouldn't eat those stuff, so Mr. Pipe serves them Skunk Milk instead. Ren and Stimpy go for a walk after that...while the moterhome is still moving.
That night, Mr. Pipe tells Mrs. Pipe, Ren, and Stimpy a scary story. After the story was done, Stimpy was scared, but Ren said that they're just old legends. Unfotunately, as they headed for their bed, Mr. Pipe introduced them to their new roommate, Wilbur Cobb, who just keeps talking and talking and talking.
5 Hours later, everyone was asleep, except Ren. But then, he realized something! "If everyone but me is asleep, who's driving the moterhome?" he asked himself. Nobody was, which caused the moterhome to go underwater. And the Pipes sent Ren, Stimpy, and Wilbur out the moterhome, so they don't wet the bed, which Wilbur Cobb already did.

[edit] Notes, Goofs, and Trivia
- The scene where Stimpy explains what an RV is to Ren is cut from the Spike TV airings, but is on the "Seasons 3 and 1/2-ish" DVD box set.
- The 3rd paragraph for the plot is cut out from the "Seasons 3 and 1/2-ish" DVD box set.
- The scene where a buzzard is eating Ren's guts and spits them back out on him is also cut from the "Season 3 and a 1/2-ish" DVD set.
- Another edit: Originally after Mr. Pipe runs into the shower, a shilouette of Mr. Pipe and Ren screaming together could be seen through the shower door. However, this was edited shortly after the first few airings of the episode, and replaced with a shot of the RV driving down the road. "Seasons 3 and 1/2-ish" retains the edit.
