[[Candace Flynn|Candace]] is lying down on her bed, bored. [[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Linda Flynn-Fletcher|Mom]] tells her to help [[Phineas Flynn|Phineas]] and [[Ferb Fletcher|Ferb]] wash the house or to read the [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|Wizard of Oz]]. The boys start washing and spinning the house while Candace is reading, and she eventually passes out. Perry is lying on Candace, who is greeted by "Patchkins" ([[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Fireside Girls|Fireside Girls]]) who told her that she squashed Suzy and her boots. The Good Witch ([[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Isabella Garcia-Shapiro|Isabella]]) comes down and gives the boots to Candace, although Doofenwarlock ([[Heinz Doofenshmirtz|Doofenshmirtz]]) wants them. Candace wonders how to bust her brothers and the Good Witch tells her to use the yellow sidewalk.

On the route, Candace and Perry run into [[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Baljeet Tjinder|Baljeet]], who is hanging as a "nerd crow". He explains in a song that he wants to be cool and Candace cuts him off and lets him go to Bustopolis. Phineas and Ferb interrupt by suggesting that Candace take their alternate route by riding unicorns through a "sugary wonderland" which Candace declines. Perry is trapped by Doofenwarlock, who has sent [[flying squirrel]]s out to capture Candace. His spider monkey keeps Perry in his trap. Candace flirts with a tree ([[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Jeremy Johnson|Jeremy]]) and lets him sing and come along, which upsets Baljeet. They are interrupted once again by Phineas and Ferb who invite them to skate across an ice cream path instead of walking through a dark forest. Candace declines, although the others want to go.


They enter the dark forest and Candace gets scared by an owl ([[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Stacy Hirano|Stacy]]). They run into an animal that is a mix of a lion, tiger, and bear ([[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Buford van Stomm|Buford]]). Candace asks about his wish, and even though he doesn't want anything, he goes with the group. Phineas and Ferb interrupt by inviting them to travel on a bouncy blue sidewalk, which Candace says no to. Shortly after, she is captured by Doofenwarlock's flying squirrels. Candace is brought to the spider web trap with Perry. Doofenwarlock wanted the red rubber boots, which have gotten tight on Candace. He is about to vaporize her and she apologizes to Perry for getting them in this. Perry easily gets out of his trap and asks the fairy ([[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Major Monogram|Major Monogram]]) to save Candace.

The other people in the group pretending to be makeover people. As the vaporizer is going off, Perry and Candace are running as seen in an orb, which Buford destroys. When the guards are told to destroy the group, Candace takes defense and throws a bucket of water onto Doofenwarlock's clothes. When the guards are once again told to destroy the group, Candace says that's a bad idea. The said that they never got to get what they wanted. The group escapes as the guards are singing, and they used a grappling hook to get onto a blimp because the drawbridge was lifted. Candace denies her brothers, who were driving the blimp, that she had fun. A flying squirrel cuts the hook and the group falls into the "Sea of Razor Sharp Rock Spires", which is actually a sea of pillows.


The group is actually close to Bustopolis. Candace once again avoids Phineas and Ferb's idea by taking the Yellow Staircase, but the others took the elevator slide. At the top, the wizard ([[List of Phineas and Ferb characters#Linda Flynn-Fletcher|Linda Flynn-Fletcher]]) asks the boys to hand out the gifts. Baljeet gets "cool" sunglasses, Buford (who wanted nothing) gets a ham sandwich, and Jeremy learns that he was a boy all along who was merely wearing a tree costume that can be removed. Doofenwarlock gets the boots that Candace had on and sings a song about them, but gets hit by a house. Candace asks Mom as the wizard to bust the boys, but Mom says that what the boys were doing sounds like fun and Candace should have joined them. The dream ends, and Candace is back on her bed. Outside, Phineas, Ferb, Buford, Baljeet, Isabella, and Jeremy are in a giant unicycle. Jeremy and Candace agree that this is better with the sidewalk, and the unicycle goes.
