This episode starts with Double D preparing for an insect hunt, with Patrick and Zack tagging along. While hunting for insects in the woods, Patrick becomes stuck on a large web. Double D and Zack attempt to help him, and successfully pull him loose. They become scared, however, after hearing a group of voices chanting "The Summerlands, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G". The Summerlands, while running, accidentally jump into a tar pit and get tar all over them, including in the eyes. The next thing they know, they're in the trailer park just outside of town. They meet May, Marie, and Lee Kanker: The Kanker Sisters. It turns out they found the three in the woods, taking them back to their trailer home, and giving them some robes to wear while their clothes dry. They find the Summerlands very dreamy and decide to give them hospitality, with food and television, however, love doesn't cross the Summerlands' minds at all, as they just take in the food and act like pigs. When the girls' attempt to win them over with love fails, they take action. First, they force them to clean up the messes they made and then the whole trailer. After being overworked, Zack yells at them, making them cry and run to their room. When the girls tell the Summerlands off, they decide to split, only to be hassled by them even further. It all finally comes clear to the Summerlands that the Kankers are madly in love with them. The Summerlands decide to leave, but when they open the door, the Kankers are waiting for them with dolls that are supposed to be their "children". This causes the Summerlands to run for their lives back home.Watching the Summerlands run off, the girls decide they are still in love, and will do all it takes to win the hearts of the Summerlands, even if it means hassling them with every chance they get.
