Plot
A parade marches through town, accompanied by a marching band. Beat happens to be one of the spectators. Wanting in on the fun, he joins in the band and claps his cymbals. Inside a nearby apartment, Mono is pestered by the noise as he tries to sleep. He tosses his ringing alarm clock out the window and it knocks over Beat. As he reaches for his cymbals, a parade float runs over his hands.

Beat later exits a hospital with his arms having been amputated. His cymbals are still on the ground, but since he can no longer play with his hands, he picks them up using his toes. He looks at Cuddles playing with his skateboard and comes up with an idea.

With a skateboard taped to his back, Beat slides down a hill and catches up to the marching band. He claps his cymbals with his feet while using his tail to push himself along. Mono's quiet time at the park is disturbed by the clapping, which drives him berserk. Beat sees Mono running to him and skates away as he is pursued.

Buck and Chuck are shown playing trombones in the band, when Beat bumps into them. Buck is squeezed through his trombone and comes out the other side as fleshy mush. Chuck's trombone is shoved down his throat and his organs are blown out every time he breathes. Ruffles is now shown marching until Beat and Mono push him over. Todd, jealous that Drama is on a float, attempts to show off by beating his drum. Beat runs him over, squashing him underneath his drum, while his drumsticks fly into Ruffles' eyes.

Mono continues to chase Beat until stopping at the sight of a cliff. He tries to warn Beat, who cannot hear him due to being deaf. He slides down the ledge, which happens to be shaped like a ramp, allowing him to slide back up the other side. The skateboard detaches from his back, landing on Mono's head. Beat himself splatters into a billboard which Handy was repairing.

Meanwhile, Mono's alarm clock continues to ring, taking the place of Beat and his cymbals in the marching band.

"March to the beat of a different drum."
