They decide to shuffle some things they find in the basement and after they mix in a leaky battery, they believe that the new invention is ready. Bart thinks Milhouse should taste the invention, but he refuses because it smells funny, so Bart tries to taste it but is stopped at the last second by Marge. After Marge leaves to go to the Kwik-E-Mart, Bart tells Milhouse that he has the feeling that they can use the invention, which looks like a liquid, to pull some pranks and they go out to find a suitable place to do their experiment. The bottle that Bart has put the liquid in starts to leak, and when he starts riding his skateboard, he loses his balance and starts to slide down the street before he crashes into a dumpster.
