The family are getting ready to go to the 25th annual Springies Awards, but Homer is struggling with the neck button on his shirt.

Marge goes about her day but doesn't feel appreciated by anybody. She ends up taking Santa's Little Helper to the vet, and Bart to hospital. She also repeatedly tries to call and leave messages for Homer on his phone, but Homer doesn't receive them as Moe was using a jammer to block phone signals. While Homer, Lenny, and Carl are messing around, Homer rips his pants. When Moe breaks the jammer trying to shoot a rat, Homer gets the messages and realizes that Marge has been trying to get hold of him all day. He rushes home and Marge is angry at him for ignoring her calls. Homer then asks Marge to repair his pants before he goes to bed.
The next day, Marge is watching Trash for Cash while fixing Homer's pants. On the show, a woman sells an identical pair of Leevi's pants for $2,600. Marge then decides to tell Homer that she couldn't repair her pants and Homer wears sweatpants to work instead. Meanwhile, Marge takes Homer's pants to The Haber-Cashery where she sells them to Collectible Pants Dude for $2,595. At the Power Plant, Mr. Burns and Smithers watch Oppenheimer and Burns tells Smithers that he wants to be better than Oppenheimer.

Marge then goes into Spiffany's and buys the most expensive ring she can get with the money she had.
