The Chatterleys andBarry try to get ready for a big event.

Plot[]

At theChatterley residence,Kiff,Beryl,Martin, andBarry are getting ready to attend an exclusive fancy gala event. After a quick check with Kiff to confirm that their preparations for the night are complete, Barry declares that they are "OTDR", meaning "out-the-door ready". As the Chatterleys and Barry are about to leave for the event, Martin notices that he is missing a cufflink, so he goes upstairs to get one. While waiting for Martin, Beryl decides to put the dishes away and Barry decides to watch some TV, frustrating Kiff, who wants to make it to the gala on time. Beryl accidentally drops a dish, so she goes to the garage to get a broom.

Martin finds his cufflink and returns downstairs, but Beryl is still looking for the broom in the garage, so he joins Barry on the couch to watchSmoldering Cove. The show is interrupted by a breakingTable Town News report warning that a severe thunderstorm will be blowing throughTable Town in the next hour. As the gala is an indoor–outdoor event, Martin has to retrieve an extra umbrella for Barry from the basement. Beryl returns from the garage, having failed to find the bloom, and goes upstairs to retrieve her ski gloves so she can safely pick up the broken dish pieces from the floor by hand. While Beryl is upstairs, Martin returns from the basement.

Kiff's frustration increases as Beryl and Martin each get distracted with accomplishing random tasks while the other is away. Just as everyone is finally ready to leave, the landline phone starts ringing. Kiff orders everyone to stay put while she answers the call, which is fromGlarbin, who puts on Kiff on hold before he can explain his reason for calling. Despite Kiff's command, Martin ends up going upstairs to apply some deodorant, Beryl tries to finish putting the dishes away, and Barry sits back on the couch to watch TV.

Barry tunes into the shopping network and decides to order someChubbles Wubbington commemorative coins. Wanting to save his cellphone's battery power, he attempts to place his order via landline, forcing Kiff to explain to Barry, who does not know how landline phones work, that he cannot make a call while she is still on the line. Martin accidentally locks himself in the bathroom, prompting Beryl to go back to the garage to retrieve a screwdriver to unlock the door. Glarbin finally returns and explains that the phone company simply wanted to thank the Chatterleys for being one of only two households in Table Town to still have a landline phone. Realizing that the call was worthless, Kiff angrily yanks the phone from the wall.

Beryl returns from the garage, unable to find the screwdriver as well. Barry then recalls that both the screwdriver and the broom have actually been inKiff's room the entire time, as earlier that day, he attached the screwdriver to the end of the broom in order to reach a bird perched on a branch sticking out of the house and adjust the screws on the bird's glasses. After taking care of the dishes and freeing Martin, the Chatterleys and Barry are ready to leave again, but Barry notices that Kiff now has a tear in her dress, which Beryl points out must have occurred while Kiff retrieved the broom and screwdriver from her room. Kiff staples the tear, but not before pushing the couch toward Beryl, Martin, and Barry to pin them against the wall, and furiously declaring that they have lost their "walking-around privileges".

After Kiff repairs her dress, the trip to the gala is once again delayed when Martin seesthe Pone with his new girlfriendCherry Berry and refuses to leave the house, not wanting to engage the two in small talk. Kiff, now even more irritated, quickly resolves the impasse by dialingthe Pone's house, the only other home in Table Town to still have a landline phone, which succeeds in getting him and Cherry inside. Not wanting to further anger Kiff, Beryl and Martin stop Barry from pointing out that Kiff now looks disheveled and has the disconnected landline phone wrapped around her. The four finally leave, and afterwards, the camera pans over the now-wrecked living room, then the kitchen, revealing that their tickets to the gala are still pinned on the fridge.
