Plot
The episode starts with Timon looking for something in his suitcase for his and Pumbaa's Bestest Best Friend Day Feast. When the meerkat finds nothing, Pumbaa suggests that they sell their cow and Timon agrees. Timon then prepares for the feast, and then Pumbaa shows up with a bag. Timon is excited to see what's in the bag and Pumbaa shows him a cage with three magic bugs. The warthog expects Timon to say "Good job, Pumbaa" but Timon is not happy about his work and says that he did not to a good job.
It's night. While Timon and Pumbaa are sleeping, the bugs create a beanstalk which sends the two to the clouds. Timon wakes up to brush his teeth and then is disturbed by a bird. The meerkat then realizes that he's in mid-air and falls but lands on a plane twice. Timon then lands on the beanstalk next to Pumbaa. Pumbaa tells Timon what the bugs have done and expects Timon to say what the warthog wanted him to say earlier, but Timon believes that this is just a dream. Timon and Pumbaa see a giant grasshopper go to its mansion. Timon and Pumbaa go after it, but the stairs are too high to get on. The two try various ways to get on the stairs and finally make it to the door.
Timon knocks on the door, the grasshopper answers, and Timon and Pumbaa start munching on its feet. The grasshopper takes Timon and Pumbaa to its kitchen to eat the two. As Timon and Pumbaa are getting cooked, Timon says that he will wake up any second now until he and Pumbaa are in a pie. The grasshopper's getting ready to eat Timon and Pumbaa, but the two hit it in the face with the pie, which causes Pumbaa to laugh. Timon and Pumbaa sneak behind the plates, but Pumbaa's laughter gets the grasshopper to hear him and it moves the plate to catch the two.
Timon and Pumbaa quickly run back to the beanstalk to slide down. When the two land, Pumbaa sees the grasshopper going down as well. So the warthog hits the beanstalk to break it, but it causes the grasshopper to fall and land on Timon. Timon then wakes up, turning out that it was a dream after all. Timon sees that Pumbaa made a big meal made out of the grasshopper from the dream and the meerkat says "Good job Pumbaa."
