Plot summary

Template:Spoiler Megan tells Drake and Josh that their parents anniversary is in two weeks, so they enter a Pump My Room contest to redecorate their living room as an anniversary gift. The next day, they find out they won the contest. They are told to put a key under the doormat and leave the house for six hours. When the time has passed, they bring their parents into the house to surprise them. The living room is completely empty, all the furniture was stolen. They call the cops and find out that the contest was a scam.

Drake and Josh try to get jobs to pay for new furniture. They get jobs at a sushi factory, where they have to work at an assembly line and put sushi into containers. They find this easy at first, but the sushi starts coming out faster and faster. After "the worst day of their life," Drake and Josh come home to find their furniture back in the house. The criminals' car broke down within half a mile from their house, allowing the police to easily find criminals and the furniture.

Meanwhile, Megan has hired a younger kid, Tyler, to pull pranks on Drake and Josh for her, because she doesn't have enough time to do it herself. During the episode, Tyler makes them eat nachos made with hot glue and nacho cheese, and throws an egg at the police officers, but makes it look like Drake and Josh threw the egg.

After Drake and Josh find all the furniture is back in the house, they step on one of Megan's traps and dangle from th e ceiling on a net. Megan then comes and reveals she fired Tyler, since she doesn't get the same enjoyment from other people playing tricks on them. Josh asks Megan to let them down, so she presses a button and the net falls down, sending Drake and Josh falling on the floor.

The name of the factory that Drake and Josh worked in, Ball & Vance Fish Corp., is a reference to Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance who played Lucy and Ethel on I Love Lucy. The scene where the boys try to package sushi but can't keep up with it is a homage to an I Love Lucy episode.
