Ivy and Stuart create biodegradable clothes using food around the house, though they both do so for different reasons. Ivy wants to support the environment and have Lady Elle recognize her work, while Stuart wants to use it to become rich and famous. However, in all of the excitement, Stuart reveals that he promised Lady Elle that he and Ivy would have all the clothes done in a day, which leads to bugs not being worked out. When Lady Elle stops by to evaluate the clothes, they begin falling apart due to their being biodegradable. Meanwhile, Leaf and Clark are enjoying a television show called "Judge Jerky", but Lewis walks in and cannot understand why they like the show so much, as he has to get to an actual court trial. Leaf wants to see his father in action and asks if he can go court with him, to which agrees, and Clark tags along as well. However, things later fall apart when a biodegradable suit he got from Ivy and Stuart starts falling apart on him, leaving him in his underwear in the courtroom, despite Ivy and Stuart's efforts to save him after racing over there. Stuart ultimately decides not to discipline Ivy and Stuart after they apologize to him and instead engages in a pillow fight with them.
