When news comes out that Buttons runs a slave labor factory that produces Buttons the Bear dolls, Buttons looks for a way to restore his public image. Rocko suggests contacting a foundation that grants wishes of terminally ill people but Buttons quickly finds out that granting such a wish isn't a short term fix as he thinks. Meanwhile, Dan is annoyed when Bill keeps interrupting at the most inopportune times and Rocko, with great reluctance, agrees to help out a former prison inmate.
Dan resolves to get back garden shears from his neighbor but seems to be stymied when the neighbor dies and is buried with the garden shears. Meanwhile, Buttons plans to steer clear of a tryst with a woman supposedly cursed to have her lovers die unexpectedly but his plans goes awry.
