Plot
Swindler sits at a bench, looking at his empty wallet. Thinking of how to earn money, Josh appears and paints the scenery. Swindler gets his new scam idea and chuckles. Encountering Josh, Swindler tells him about a deal to make his art famous. Josh excitedly agrees.

Josh looks over a list he has been given about various art ideas, starting with a statue of a Vietnam APC tank. Swindler gives him pieces of scrap metal, which has been taken from Flippy's house. Josh assembles a tank and brings in a croud, paying Swindler with a fortune. Flippy comes by to look for the pieces of his house, when he flips out seeing the tank. Carnage ensues as everybody runs away.

Next on the art list is a dandruff spider. Swindler brings Josh dandruff, which was recieved from shaving Flaky's quills. Soon, Flaky arrives and picks up her quills scattered on the ground. She sees Josh's dandruff spider and screams. Running, she trips and impales herself with her quills.

Later, Pierce finds out his motorcycle is missing. Opening his garage, he finds the disassembled pieces being used by Josh to make a motorcycle picture. Pierce threatens to beat up Josh, so he runs away while Swindler gets payed by a line. Before Pierce could do anything, the gaage door shuts and slices him in half.

Giggles is seen cleaning up litter, but is distracted by a trail of garbage. She gets lead to a garbage truck statue being built out of trash, courtsey of her brother. Giggles angrilly approaches Josh, but slips on a banana peel and flies into a dumpster, where a real garbage truck compresses her. The driver, Lumpy, does not notice as he is too busy looking at the statue.

Petunia finishes painting her house and goes inside for a break. Swindler leads Josh to the scene to start his new painting. As Swindler counts the fortune he recieved from his customers, Josh gets painting. A police car arrives, and Savaughn and Otus confront Josh. He is told about complaints of peoples' things being stolen for art. Before Savaughn could taze Josh, he confesses that Swindler was the one taking things.

Swindler realizes his plot has been discovered, so he tries to run. However, he slips on a puddle of paint and slides  right into the wall. Petunia comes out and discovers the mess, but before she could get mad, Josh gives her Swindler's money. The cops tell Josh he is still in custody and the episode ends with him being tazed.
