To keep the school board from firing him for incompetence, Mr. Garrison assigns group oral reports to his class. The boys are put in a group with Tweek, the jittery son of a coffee shop owner. Tweek suggests doing the report on the underpants gnomes that steal his underwear. Meanwhile Mr. Tweek is offered $500,000 by Mr. Postum, who wants to turn his store into a "Harbucks" franchise. Mr. Tweek rejects the offer, and that night suggests that the boys do their report on how large corporations try to push out small business. Mr. Tweek writes the report himself and gives it to the boys. The board likes the report and uses the boys to put up a proposition to keep Harbucks out of South Park. Meanwhile the boys seek help from the underpants gnomes to teach them about big corporations.
