Several bears are standing in a line outside of Grumpy's shop in the middle of the night. Funshine yawns and questions why Grumpy called them there so late. Grumpy appears and shows off his most recent invention: A special power generator! Grumpy goes to turn his new invention on, only to discover that the switch is stuck. In order to flip the stuck switch, Grumpy begins smacking his new machine with a wrench. Meanwhile, high above in Grizzle's Lair, Grizzle is also hitting his new machine with a large golden wrench. This doesn't work for Grizzle, who calls out for assistance from his robot UR-2. UR-2 replies "I am not!" which leads to an annoyed Grizzle explaining to UR-2 that it is his name. UR-2 then reports that if Grizzle does not increase his power supply, his lair will float away. Grizzle frustratingly hits his power generator with a hammer, which causes him to fall down.

The next day, Share is surprised to see that her garden is free of visitors. Oopsy Bear shows up, but quickly says his catch phrase and dashes off. When Share ask where Oopsy Bear is running off to, Oopsy explains that he was suppose to go to Cheer's garden and that's where everyone is. Share is shocked to hear the news, and proclaims that she's the only one with a garden. Oopsy tells Share to come see Cheer's garden, and Share agrees while bitterly adding that it couldn't possibly he as nice as her own.

Grizzle has invented a robot named Newbie and fitted it with a badge removal ray emitter to try erasing the Care Bears' belly badges. Unfortunately, the ray doesn't remove the badges, but amplifies the negative traits of the bears.

Funshine ask for a little bit more time to play, and Bedtime leaves.

Funshine looks for a place to practice Belly Ball and happens upon Rainshine Meadows, a once beautiful place which is now in a state of despair and negligence.

He decides to trick Oopsy into delivering it, but Oopsy keeps having oopsies with it, forcing him to make protective modifications that ultimately render it inoperable.

The Care Bears don't realize that while they're busy reforming Grizzle, Big Brain is still implementing the plan to take over Care-a-Lot and make it into an extension of Grizzle's lair, but the Care Bears stop Big Brain and Big Brain is destroyed.

In Share's garden, her dilly daisy plant has finally bloomed. The nimbits, two cloud-like creates named Bumpity and Tweazle, arrive for a visit.
