Cindy and Bobby have the chance to compete on a televised kids quiz show if they score high enough on a written test. Cindy does everything she can to prepare for the test, while Bobby is over-confident that he can pass without putting forth effort. The studying pays off and Cindy is chosen, but Bobby fails to make the grade and wallows in his misery. Cindys new star status goes to her head and the family tries to deal with her inflated ego.

Bobby thinks that becoming the safety monitor at school will increase his popularity, but it does just the opposite. Not only does he report his friends for minor infractions at school; he also turns in his brother and sisters at home.
