Plot
Howdy, Hippy, Licky, Lessy, Lary and Mary sit around a campfire in the woods, roasting marshmallows. Howdy pulls out his guitar and tunes it. Then he strums it, breaking into a country song. As he starts singing, the gang listens and moves to the rhythm.

Licky pulls his marshmallow stick out of the fire to eat, only to see that his marshmallow was burnt to a crisp. Disappointed, he sees a perfect marshmallow on Hippy's stick. Hippy notices Licky's tongue grabbing his stick, so he tugs on it, and a fight ensues as Howdy's song gets faster. The stick flies out, impaling Lessy through her scar. Lessy runs around as Lary and Mary try to help. Mary holds Lessy still while Lary pulls the stick out. Unfortunately, he pulls out not only the stick, but Lessy's impaled brain.

While Howdy still sings oblivous to everything else, Licky sees mosquitoes buzzing around. Since all the marshmallows are burnt, he tries to snatch the insects with his tongue. As Lary and Mary walk back, Licky's tongue hits Hippy and causes him to fall into the fire. Mary rushes to a nearby lake, scoops up water into a bucket, and runs back to help Hippy. However, she trips and the bucket lands on Hippy. Although the fire has been extinguished, Lary pulls the bucket off to reveal that Hippy's upper torso was squeezed into mush.

Licky finally catches a mosquito, but his tongue is stuck to the melted marshmallows on the ground. Hundreds of mosquitoes bite his tongue and suck all the blood from Licky's body, killing him. Lary picks his marshmallow stick off the fire and blows on his burning marshmallow. The fire spreads and Lary burns within seconds. As he runs around in pain, he passes by Mary and she also burns.

Howdy soon finishes his song, but sees no sign of his fellow campers. Howdy shrugs and strums his guitar to play another song, but one of the strings comes loose and slices off Howdy's arm.

Trivia

 * Howdy's song started slow and went faster as the episode progressed.
 * Hippy's death is similar to Toothy's death in Strain Kringle.
 * Howdy's injury is similar to Cuddles' injury in In a Jam.
 * Baby Face Quito was briefly seen with the other mosquitos sucking on Licky's tongue.
 * Howdy seemed to be quite ignorant in this episode, as he did not notice any of the other characters' suffering (even though his eyes were closed while he was singing, he should have heard them). He also did not notice Licky's body, which was seen around the fire after Howdy finished his song.
