The episode begins on the last day of the school-year. Mr. Crocker assigns the students to write a book report during the summer, despite summer vacation being the time for rest, relaxation, fun and excitement. Timmy says that he will not delay doing the assignment until the last minute... but he does not write until the end of vacation is near. Then they go to the library. His first wish is for Sherlock Holmes to come out of his book.

When Sherlock appears, he refers to Timmy by name. Timmy asks how he knows? Sherlock replies that being a detective is his job. Timmy then requests him to write his book report. Sherlock refuses because he is "a detective not a babysitter." Then Sherlock leaves. Timmy wishes for Tom Sawyer to come out of his book. Tom makes a deal with Cosmo who gives him the wand.

Timmy demands the wand back but Tom escapes into ''Moby Dick''. The trio chases after Tom. Tom changes it to "Moby Duck" which is a giant rubber duck. Then Tom jumps into a second book: ''Frankenstein''. The villagers almost attack Timmy so he changes by editing the words "Villagers attack" to become "The ill attack." Now the attackers are ill and there is no danger. Then, a Frankenstein "Monster...Truck" chases them. Then, Timmy changes the title from "Truck" to "Monk". Next, Tom changes "Monk" to "Hunk", which Wanda enjoys gazing at, until Cosmo changes "Hunk" to "Skunk".

Tom doesn't believe this and starts making fun of the Rat. As Tom is laughing, Timmy then goads the Rat even more by asking him if he is going to take that insult from a punk from Missouri. The Rat screams at Tom: "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY SHOES, PUNK?". He then proceeds to squish Tom with his foot. This causes Tom to drop Cosmo's wand, which Cosmo then retrieves. Timmy then reveals that he knew how the story went and by having Tom make fun of the Rat it led to a very big splat.
