Plot synopsis
The episode beings with the static disappearing from the screen to show Club Mario, with Tommy Treehugger and Co-MC being excited about their show appearing on the TV. The former then introduces himself to the viewer before telling the cameraman switch to "finger puppet cam," featuring the cameraman wearing two finger puppets depicting rabbits with a white shirt and apron on his hands, with them facing the screen. As the finger puppets "walk" closer to Tommy and Co-MC, the former gives a synopsis of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Mario and the Beanstalk." He then decides to climb up the potted plant in their studio (referencing a major plot point in both the episode and its original source), with Co-MC warning him to be careful, though finds nothing at the top. He then tells James, who is onstage, to play something "flitty and beanstalkish" for him and Co-MC as they go "satellite surfing," with James then playing his electric guitar.
