(Skip section)

The episode begins with The Wattersons who are ordering food in the Joyful Burger restaurant. After reducing their order due to Richard's appetite, the family discovers that their credit funds are non-existent. Anais immediately blames her dad responsible and Richard replies that he deposited the Wattersons funds in an offshore bank account but what he really did was throwing the money into the sea. Nicole was so furious that she transforms into a huge muscular beast getting ready to severely scold him but calms down by Richard's "irresistible charm". Realizing that they are now flat broke, the family cries lots of tears which Nicole told them to drink up since this is the only water they'll get. Larry, however offered them a solution to their money trouble, a commercial of a family eating at Joyful Burger and they are the perfect candidates for the role, but Gumball refuses to let the family sell themselves for easy money and convinces them that they will manage themselves in poverty.

At night, Gumball screams in horror of the empty fridge and Nicole explains that with no money they have nothing. Gumball asked why they listen to him and Anais said that he was right that they should never give up their pride for money. With these setbacks the family gets ready for bed in their now dark home due to their electricity being cut.

The next morning Gumball wakes up outside on the roof and luckily fell on top of the sofa which was being carried away by repo men along with all their stuff. Nicole just stands there while she hurls hurtful insults at them. She was about to unleash her wrath on the man who came to repossess her car but Richard came back after selling the car for 100 dollars since he accidently wrecked the car on the way.

With their home completely empty of all possessions, Gumball tries to cheer them up by telling them to use what they haven't lost yet, their imaginations. After breaking into song about the joys of imagination, the family decided to use it against Gumball since he was responsible for them refusing to sellout. They tried to reason with him that advertisement can be done in a discreet manner but Gumball reminds them that their credibility is all they have left and they have nothing left to lose. He was proven wrong when the repo men took what remains of their house, including the grass. Despite losing everything, Gumball says that their pride as the Wattersons is all they need. That's when Gumball lost his colors. He realizes that without money, animation quality is beginning to drop. It also happens to Anais whose mouth began glitching and Darwin looks like he was animated by an eight year old. Then the environment began glitching and degrading due to loss of budget for 3D effects. Nicole then decided that their principles are not worth it and they must sign the contract before they degrade to nothing.

The family are running toward the mall to get to Larry but then they all lost all their color and motion animation. They then take the bus to the mall but the glitching began to infect everything they touch. The bus, the neighborhood, and even the sound began to degrade and glitch. When they reached the mall, their environment was reduced to a storyboard and when they finally reached Larry, they were further reduced to sticky notes. Once they signed the contract, the world returns to its normal animation quality except for Gumball who still refuses to sellout but finally changes his mind when Larry shows him how much Joyful Burger is willing to pay them, and accepts the offer.

The episode ends showing the ad of Joyful Burger with the Wattersons wearing 80s clothes and enjoying the food at the restaurant.
