After an unsuccessful attempt to make a rock band, Francine convinces Binky and Molly to join her band. After hearing this, Arthur and Buster decide to make their own band, after Francine rejected them from being on the band. The band has its first rehearsal, but it doesn't go well. The next day at school, Binky tells Francine that she plays Drums well and that she sings well, but when she puts them both together, she stinks. Then Mrs. McGrady says they found the solution and Fern opens the door of school, saying that she would love to be the singer. Francine, at first says no, but then she decides to give her a chance. The answer was unanimously yes. At school, Mr. Haney calls Francine to see if the band could play at the PTA Spring Fundraiser. Without a name and no rehearsals, Francine says yes. At the rehearsal, Francine says that she needs inspiration for the band's name. The band starts rehearsal. A neighbor says to Francine that they stink. Francine replies that he also stinks. Then, she found a great name for the band: "U Stink". At the PTA Fundraiser, the band plays their song "Nothing But The Music". One day D.W. makes their trading cards. The Tibbles and friends chase them all around Elwood City (A la The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night) and Binky and Fern stay behind. Then at night they are on TV except for Francine. She gets mad and quits the band. Only, to be replaced by a digital drum. After they perform on the Lakewood Elementary Book Sale, they agree that they need a new song. Fern has a song but no music. They argue on which music they should choose but suddenly Mrs. McGrady says"THERE ARE TOO MANY COOKS IN THIS KITCHEN" they call Muffy and ask help. Muffy suggests that they need a manager. She says that when they are rich they can buy a song. She becomes the manager.She jumps in joy and frantizes about being a manger and feels that one day she can meet Nick.Muffy plans to shoot an off-coure music vedio for the group, casting the failing We Stink. Francie soon takes We Stink under her wing, but after a diving agurment, the band disolves ( with Arthur and Binky saying they'll start a new band, She Stinks.). When not earing a replie from the boys, Muffy talks to her farther.He replies that the Family is a small potao to the boys. In a depression, she swears to meet the boys.
