Ms. Choksondik's fourth grade class goes on a field trip to a farm, where they discover that veal is made of baby cows. The boys are horrified (except Cartman, who joyously claims that they look so delicious and juicy), and decide to save the calves from becoming veal. Stan, Kyle, and Butters convince Cartman to help them rescue the calves and bring them to Stan's house. When they are discovered by their parents, the boys barricade the door until they are promised the calves will be safe.
The situation quickly escalates into a standoff between the boys (who are declared terrorists), and the police. They live off some food smuggled in by Ms. Cartman, which contains beef jerky and fried chicken. While most of the group eagerly eats this food, Stan does not, as his reason for doing the deed extends far beyond just protecting the calves. Cartman happily feeds some of the jerky to one of the calves and unsurprisingly "weirds out" the other boys. Stan feels so strongly about the cause of saving the calves that he becomes fully vegetarian, and eats only apples. Cartman makes fun of this, saying "if you don't eat meat, you become a pussy." Stan comes down with a strange illness, and develops sores on his face.
The boys outwit an incompetent FBI negotiator, who is no match for Cartman's manipulative abilities. The four end up acquiring heavy weaponry (including an ICBM), get the FDA to change the term for veal to "tortured baby cow meat", and negotiate for a cattle truck driven by Michael Dorn. Furthermore, Dorn is forced into full Worf makeup and must call Cartman 'Captain'. He is to drive everyone to the airport so they can escape to Mexico, despite being reluctant to do so.
Despite a double cross by the FBI, the calves are saved, as there is now no market for "little tortured baby cow". Stan has to go to the hospital, it turns out Cartman was correct about the results of not eating meat when Stan's doctor explains that the sores on his face were actually vaginas, turning him into a giant pussy. Later, everyone agrees to go out for hamburgers, before being grounded.
