Plot
When you're a little down on your luck there's few things worse in life than having your enemies rubbing your face in their triumph but of course that's just what happens to Eddy & Co today as Kevin sells his entire garage full of Jawbreakers to his pals at rock bottom prices and makes a small fortune whilst he's at it. The Eds - as always - arrive just a little too late and find nothing but empty shelves and derision and as Kevin swaggers off with his pockets bulging, Edd tries to make Eddy feel better by suggesting what a terrible thing it would be if the seams on Kevin's pockets gave out and he just so happened to lose some of his loot he's so loaded down with.

Yep, Kevin would be an ideal target today except there's just one teensy problem, namely that despite grinding his brain gears into overdrive Eddy can't think of a single scam to hit him with. In the end Ed comes up with a solution that Eddy is desperate enough to go for, namely buy a scam idea off of one of the other kids and after Jonny & Plank's rather diverse 'Penny dance' who should fall their way but Jimmy, Eddy's one time protégé who as Double D reminds him, Eddy taught him everything he knows. Much to Eddy's delight, yes Jimmy can think of a money making scam and before long the Eds are scuttling around trying to round up ten electrical extension cords, ten 'fridges and one hundred fence boards. Eddy can hardly stand still for drooling, in fact he can already feel that cash in his pocket but when Jimmy reveals that his scamming opus consists of nothing more than jumbo-size fruity ice lollies he gives up in disgust and tells Jimmy his plan is rubbish. Desperate to come up with something good Eddy resorts to getting some sense the hard way - by having Ed knock some into him and as Kevin walks past penniless from having made Jimmy a rich kid the bruises on Eddy's body are soon matched only by those on his ego. Ouch!
