The setting returns to Buster and Balto arriving at a fancy restaurant. Buster leaves his bike in front of the receptionist.

Buster: "Take care of her, will you? She may look old and rusty, but she is a classic."

The bike falls over and the receptionist is holding only the handlebars.

Balto: "Yeah, I won't tell him that happened."

When they're inside, they meet up with a sheep named Eddie, and a panda named Po.

Buster: "Okay listen, we all know that my theater has been going through some pretty rough times lately, but as the saying goes, for every cloud a silver..."

Eddie interrupts Buster. "Hold on right there Buster. My Dad, he heard I was gonna see you and Balto today, and he was all like "Eddie, you tell that koala and wolf that I'm not funding anymore of his shows, and that's final." Those are his words."

Po: "He's not messing around this time."

Buster: "Your Dad's right, Eddie. Those shows were the problem. War of Attrition, Rosie Takes a Bow. Nobody wants to see that stuff anymore."

Balto: "You just figured that out?"

Buster: "Balto, we'll talk later. So what do I do?"

Eddie: "Quit?"

Balto: "No!"

Buster: "I give them a show that they cannot resist, which is gonna be..."

The waiter walks to their table.

Balto: "Buster!"

Buster: "Oh just one more minute. S'il vous plaít."

The waiter walks away frustrated.

Buster: "Merci!"

Eddie: "Don't speak French. They speak English here."

Buster: "Now, my next show is gonna be, drumroll please." He drums on the table. "A singing competition!"

Eddie: "A singing competition?"

Po: "That's all you got? Maybe you should quit."

Eddie: "Who wants to see another one of those?"

Buster: "Everyone! Just think. Your neighbor, the grocery store manager, that chicken right there." He points to a rooster passing by. "Everyone in this city gets a shot at being a star live on my stage!"

Balto: "How come you don't tell me these things. I'm your assistant."

Buster: "Sorry, I meant to."

Eddie: "Buster, this is a terrible idea!"

Po: "And I thought I was crazy!"

Buster: "Oh no it's not. Real talent from real life! That's what audiences want, and I'm gonna give it to them!"

He pounds on the table and a spoon flies backwards. The spoon hits a bull behind them and he drops his phone in his soup.

Po: "Oh boy."

Eddie: "Can we please just get out of here?"

Buster: "Don't you wanna eat?"

Eddie: "Yeah but, we can't afford any of this."

Buster: "Yes I know and that's why I brought sandwiches."

Balto: "Oh not again."

He gives Eddie and Po sandwiches. He offers Balto a sandwich, but he shakes his head.

Eddie: "That's not allowed."

The waiter, who was helping the bull sees Buster.

Waiter: "Excuse me, sir."

Buster was telling Eddie what options for a sandwich there was. The waiter grabs him and throws him out of the restaurant. Balto, Eddie, and Po follow behind.

Eddie: "You okay?"

Buster: "Yep. Never better."

Po (to Eddie): "Singing competition. Good grief."

Later on, Buster is at the Moon theater. Miss Crawly and Jenna were making flyers for the competition

Buster (over the radio): "Miss Crawly! Jenna!"

Miss Crawly: "Hello?" The fan in her office blows at her face. "Who is it?"

Buster: "It's me. (Clears throat) Your boss. Mr. Moon."

Miss Crawly: "Oh hello Mr. Moon."

Buster: "There we go. I need you to add the following information to our publicity flyers."

Jenna: "What kind of information?"

Buster: "The winner of the singing contest will receive a grand prize of..." He looks at his money box and sees the total on a piece of paper.

Buster: "$935."

Balto: "Wow, are we that broke?"

Buster: "Hmm. Gonna need more than that. Just a second."

He grabs several items and places them inside a chest.

Buster: "$1000. You got that?"

Jenna: "We got it."

As Miss Crawly began typing that, the fan blows at her face again and her glass eye pops out. She tries catching it.

Miss Crawly: "Jenna."

Jenna tries catching it for Miss Crawly, but flies into the air and hits the 0 key on the keyboard twice. The flyer now has the grand prize of $100,000. The eye then rolls under a table.

Buster: "Put them up on every single sheet of paper we have left and let's spread the word out right away! Okay?"

Miss Crawly: "Yes sir!" She begins printing the flyers while she and Jenna go and get the glass eye. Jenna reaches under the table and grabs the eye.

Meanwhile, Buster takes a deep breath of the fresh air outside. "Ah the winds of change." He sees the paint of the building begin to fade.

Buster: "Yep. When this show's a hit, I'm gonna get you a fresh coat of paint."

Buster and Balto enter Miss Crawly's office.

Buster: "How are we doing with those flyers, Miss Crawly?"

Miss Crawly: "Oh yes sir. We're all good to go here."

Jenna: "Are you sure that you don't need help?"

Miss Crawly: "That's okay, I got this." The fan blows at Miss Crawly and all the flyers are blown through an open window.

Miss Crawly: "Oopsie Daisy."

Buster: "Well I guess that's one way to spread the word."

Balto: "Hopefully it works."

The flyers are blown all around the city and are seen by many. At a train station, Lance, Ash, Bodi, Darma and Germur see the flyers as their train enters the station.

Ash: "Hey Lance, look at this!"

Darma: "No way."

Germur and Lance walk inside the train while the others stop and look at the flyers. The train door closes and leaves them while Lance and Germur get stuck in the train.

At a nearby garage, cops are searching for the gorilla criminals. Johnny shuts the garage door. A flyer got in right before he closed it. He sees it and smiles. But he quickly hides it in his jacket when the others walk towards him.

Meena was watering the plants and listening to music when her mom and grandpa show her the flyer. She smiles at the thought.

A dog nun saw the flyer and threw it backwards. The flyer landed on Mike, who was playing the saxophone. He sees the flyer and smiles when he notices the prize. The Chipmunks and Chipettes were sitting on a fountain nearby when they see the flyer.

Alvin: "That's it!"

Eleanor: "This could be our chance!"

Later that night, Rosita was washing more dishes while on the phone when a flyer hit the window. She reads it and smiles while dropping her phone in the sink.

Pedro and Nico saw the flyers near their home.

Nico: "What's this?"

Pedro grabs the paper and reads it. They both get an idea.

Pedro: "We should tell Carla."

Nico: "And Roberto. They're going to love this."

The next morning, Buster's alarm clock rings and he hits his head after waking up. He brushes his teeth, gets dressed and crawls out of a drawer on his desk, which happens to be his bedroom. Balto and Jenna had a dog bed next to Buster's desk.

When Buster hopped out of the drawer, Miss Crawly walked into his office.

Miss Crawly: "Good morning, Mr. Moon."

Buster: "Indeed it is, Miss Crawly. Top of the morning to you. And good morning to you too, Balto and Jenna."

Balto (yawning): "Morning, sir."

Miss Crawly: "I made you some coffee, Mr. Moon."

Buster: "You did? Where is it?"

Miss Crawly: "Oh, I got a little thirsty going up those stairs. Should I open the doors now?"

Buster: "The doors?"

Miss Crawly: "You've got a line of animals waiting to audition, Mr. Moon."

Buster: "I do?"

Jenna: "Mr. Moon, you need to see this."

She was looking out the window. Buster walks up to the window and sees the line.

Buster: "Holy moly I really do!"

And the line was indeed very long.

Balto: "Wow, better than we imagined, huh."
