Virt-Ed-Go

"Vert-Ed-Go" is a season 1 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which the Eds build their own clubhouse, but got infiltrated by the Kanker Sisters.

Plot
The story starts with the Eds using Ed's peice of gum to get a quarter from the sewer. When they succeed they celebrate, but when Eddy holds up the quarter a bird stole it. Ed says that he hates birds. Ed complained that the bird took his gum. Just then they see a plane. On it there is an advertisement to join a club. According to Eddy, if the boys had their own clubhouse it would just be so cool (and also the membership funds would come in handy for when birds steal your last quarter). But where do they build the perfect clubhouse? They try Kevin's house. Strangely Kevin doesn't want it in his backyard. They tried the landfill site, but the it is "too unsanitary" (bet you can't guess who said that). They tried a local mailbox, but it was way too small. Things look bleak until they discover the perfect tree to house "Club Ed". Building work is hazardous to say the least and Ed's fear of heights doesn't help matters much although it doesn't excuse him from work either - Eddy and Double D are only to happy to winch him aloft, although Ed being Ed means he doesn't stay up there long, when he keeps falling off and being lifted time and time again (once Eddy fell with him and Double D has to lift the both of them together). Once Club Ed is built the boys need members (and their money) but Eddy's hard sell act is a little too much for the other kids to swallow, Kevin is skeptical about their stock car and yacht races and Plank has an inkling that Eddy's just going to spend their fees on Jawbreakers anyway! In the end none of it matters as the tree house has been invaded by the Kanker Sisters who are not going to give it up without a fight. Cue balancing along the washing line, lots of water-balloons and another painful pasting for Eddy!
