When Rocko gets puled over by the police because his gas cap is missing, his car gets into the pound and he has to go through driving school all over again, where Rocko is repeatedly warned not to have "the fat guy" as an instructor.
Rocko is appointed temporary boss of the Comic Book Store, while the real boss, Mr. Smitty, is away. Rocko soon goes mad with power, and takes his aggravation out on his only employee - hapless Filburt.
One day, while dining at the local fast-food joint, Heffer accidentally chokes on a chicken ribcage. During his lapse of consciousness thereafter, Heffer has a "near-death experience."
Rocko would love to be able to go to a drive-in movie, but it looks like he'll have to settle for the huge matinee complex at the mall. He and Heffer go there, and experience first-hand the "modern movie-going experience".
