Plot
Candace and Perry run into Baljeet, a "nerd crow" who wants to be cool and Candace lets him go to Bustopolis. Candace flirts with a tree (Jeremy) and lets him come along. They run into an animal that is a mix of a lion, tiger, and bear (Buford). Candace asks about his wish, and even though he doesn't want anything, he goes with the group. Doofenwarlock captures Candace and Perry so he can take the red rubber boots. Perry easily gets out of his trap and asks the fairy (Major Monogram) to save Candace.
Candace throws a bucket of water onto Doofenwarlock's clothes and the group escapes as the guards are singing.
The group arrives in Bustopolis, where the wizard (Linda Flynn-Fletcher) gives Baljeet "cool" sunglasses, Buford gets a ham sandwich, and Jeremy learns that he was merely wearing a tree costume. Doofenwarlock gets the boots, but gets hit by a house. Candace asks Mom as the wizard to bust the boys, but Mom says that what the boys were doing sounds like fun and Candace should have joined them. The dream ends, and Candace is back on her bed.
