Description
"When the evil Superterrorisation Head comes to terrorize the city, it's up to Jeffy to save the day!"

Plot
Jeffy, Mario, and Rosalina are going for a walk. When Jeffy sees a guy in a scarecrow costume, he gets scared immediately and expresses fear by grunting. Mario asks Jeffy what is wrong, and Jeffy whispers in Mario and Rosalina's ears. Mario explains to him that it's just a costume. Jeffy is less scared by this, but JP the Foolish Fool spots him and tells his audience that Jeffy is an absolute scaredy-cat. After hearing this, Jeffy starts crying (I'm So Embarrassed) and singing himself a song. When he gets an idea of what Mario told him, he's not scared anymore.

Later, north of Pensacola, FL, Jay Productions, Alden, and MTE Network are sleeping. Jay, Alden, and MTE tiptoe out of bed and try to think of what to dress up as (Let's Get Ready). After having an early morning snack, they go back to sleep, but hear noises. Then, they (including Jeffy and Joseph) talk to each other on the phone (Scaredy-Cat).

Later, in the morning, Junior, Jeffy, Mini P, Pencilmate and Joseph, are caught by Bowser, Mario, Chef Pee Pee and Pencilmiss in their costumes (Uh, Oh, I've Been Caught) while Cody doesn't seem to care. They just go out anyway.

Later, Violette and William spot the kids in their costumes, inducing a misunderstanding (I'm So Embarrassed Reprise). Joseph, Jeffy and Cody get sad, and then the Superterrorisation Head overhears and breaks out of the sky, scaring everyone. He introduces himself (I Am The Superterrorisation Head) and sucks Jeffy into a dark universe where Jeffy is confronted by a bunch of crawly spiders that crawl into his clothes and Jeffy shakes them out.

Joseph, Junior and Cody wonder what is happening to Jeffy. Jay, MTE and Alden start calling for Jeffy, but Jeffy doesn't respond. Then, killer clowns that look like dirty sandwiches come and attack Jeffy while scary logos chase him (Bwahaha!) They tell Jeffy that he's a scaredy cat and summon a scarecrow. Jeffy expresses fear and then is thrown into Mt. Airy, MD. William, Andy, Violette and Bill fly around him, scaring him, but Jeffy just says, "Hey, what doing?" Jeffy then sees wood mannequin silhouettes forming, but says, "Hey, stick figures! What doing?" The wood mannequins grab Jeffy by his arms and legs and toss him in a box. The box opens and Jeffy floats out. When he thinks they didn't see him, the giant scarecrow pops up!

Although he is scared out of his wits, Jeffy's courage keeps him on his toes long enough for the Superterrorisation Head to fall asleep. Then he runs off and is faced with a river. He tries to swim across, but forgets that he can't.

When Jeffy nearly drowns, William, Andy, Violette and Bill swim to save him, but they almost drown. Mario and Rosalina are still worried so they break through and try to ssve their adopted son from drowning, but they almost drown, too! Jeffy knows it's up to him (I Will Save The Day) to save everyone from the Superterrorisation Head, so he askes for a few more scares and the Head obliges. After realizing that he's run out of scares, he gets dejected and ashamed and decides to just give up. The Andersons have also redeemed themselves and decide they want nothing to do with the Superterrorisation Head. When Jeffy returns, he's safe and everyone cerates (Jeffy Saved The Day). However, the Superterrorisation Head, still angry just leaves Earth, vowing that the English-speaking Dr. Seuss stick figures will go through the trouble all over again soon.
