Calvin's parents discuss an idea, and Dad pitches the idea of Calvin being left unsupervised for the night, which they laugh at. But the idea still stands, and Mom tells Calvin they're going out. Calvin and Hobbes decide to watch TV and after their cartoons, they see Child's Play is on. Calvin convinces Hobbes to watch it. About an hour later, Calvin turns the TV to Jeepers Creepers II. Fifteen minutes later, Calvin thinks there are killer Barbie dolls in the basement, but is drawn to Hobbes tail suddenly having red stripes and his voice sounding deeper. After a misunderstanding, Calvin notices Hobbes tail has changed back to black stripes. They make a plan, and Hobbes puts some sleeping pills in the basement. Calvin goes to the basement and looks around for a doll. After a while, Calvin sees a Barbie doll in the corner with sleeping pills. Calvin begins blabbing like a madman about how great Barbie is to avoid being killed. When the doll lunges, Calvin finds out it's a prank set up by one of Hobbes' friends, Socrates, a prankster who looks exactly like Hobbes but has red stripes on his tail. Socrates leaves the house for the final phase as Calvin's parents come home and Mom gets caught in a booby trap. The next day, Calvin finds out the final phase, where Hobbes had recorded Calvin babbling in the basement and plays it for the whole school. Calvin tells Hobbes off when he gets home.
