Plot Overview

Jimmy has more important things to do than pick up pants off his floor, so he invents a nanochip to do it for him. However, the next day at school, the nanochip goes beserk and zaps Carl's, Sheen's, and Cindy's pants. Their pants run away, leaving JImmy in his plaid boxers, Carl in his tighty-whiteys, Sheen in his Ultralord underwear, and Cindy in her polk-a-dot underwear. Jimmy has to stop his pants from getting control of more pants. So, he tries to zap them with an invention called the Pant-Eliminator, which fails terribly. In the end, JImmy is able to make a walking robot out of a washing machine and give his pants a static shock which destroys the nanochip. Hooray! The day is saved, but Jimmy's mom, being the neat freak that she is, tells Jimmy that he has to pick up the pants that are all over the streets.
