Norb and Dag lose their fur after a botched magic trick.

Episode Summary[]

The episode opens with a lovely day in a street of Wayouttatown. Above one of the telephone poles, Norbert and Daggett, completely furless except for their heads, whose fur are still intact, are both cuffed together and tied up. Norbert blames Daggett for getting them into this mess, causing the latter to explain that he thought that a trick he saw from Gallstone's Book of Magic explained that the fur would disappear from a rabbit (who is shown with brown fur, presumably Daggett's). Norbert and Daggett had to get down the pole, so the latter starts gnawing but it was made of metal. However, Norbert reveals that his and Daggett's different hands are handcuffed on the other side of the pole, causing both beavers to land to a lower part of the pole.

After they climbed down (and probably took their handcuffs off, however it is unknown how they did so without a key), the Beaver brothers try to find their way home. Daggett is wearing an empty porkrind bag to cover himself, looking concerned, while Norbert, somewhat calm, is holding an empty can of soda in front of his waist. Just then, a truck passes by and lets out hard cement in the process, making a muscular body that covered Daggett's body for a moment, only for Norbert to break it with his finger. Daggett, no longer wearing the porkrind bag and grabbing the can, suggests that he and his brother should get off the road.

The beaver brothers hide from rock to rock, and Norbert says that the coast is clear. Daggett then says to his brother that there's nothing to hide his own behind, so Norbert grabs a couple of grasses and throws them at him. Now wearing what appear to be bathrobes made out of grasses, Norbert and Daggett find sheep being sheared from above a cliff. Just as they were about to get out, the cliff falls apart and the brothers fall into a farm, where the sheep are. The shaved sheep then eat the grass from the beavers, much to the farmer's unamusement, with one of the farmers calling the beavers "naked weasels". Norbert then explains what happened to both him and Daggett and says that they're a little embarrased by their baldness. The sheep then tell the beavers about how when they get embarrassed after being sheared they remember that being furless isn't a bad thing, and is mostly freedom, all in a song by the sheep.

Going back home, Norbert tells Daggett that the sheep have a point in their song about furlessness. Daggett then finds a butterfly and licks it before putting it in his waist, only for it to fly away dragging Daggett with it after he saw moles handcuffed and tied up together as a result of doing the botched trick from Gallstone's Book of Magic Norbert tries to rescue Daggett, before the butterfly flies away and they both land on a lake, which was actually from an annual water show by Joopy, the well-organized seal. They both then get bumped into some ladies who were in the show, again much to the two farmers' unamusement. Above the beavers there appeared an eagle so they had to hold on to it, ready to take off. Joopy was about to finish his house of cards, when he sees the eagle about to get towards it, only for the eagle to miss it. Just when Joopy thought his house of cards was safe, the ladies go past it, causing the house of cards to fall apart, much to Joopy's dismay.

Norbert and Daggett couldn't hold onto the eagle, therefore they fall down before, luckily, they land on a Christmas tree. Daggett gets worried about how are they going to get back home, Norbert motivates him by saying that he is taking both of them back home, so they climb down the tree and try to run back home, from holding Christmas lights, which sends them near a pretzel stand, to holding a pretzel statue while also seeing the farms handcuffed, unclothed and tied up, as a result of using Gallstone's Book of Magic, before Norbert would say they should ban the book. The pigeon grabs the pretzel statue and get through a door. Daggett gets concerned about being naked in public; however, curtains open up revealing that he and Norbert in a stage and the crowd applauds, not minding the beavers' furlessness. Daggett then feels confident and sings the song the sheep sang, much to the audience's applause. Norbert and Daggett are then ready to go back home "without a care in the world". The stage, meanwhile, reveals to be an annual nude cab drivers convention, as an unclothed man introduces it, and the sheep are shown participating it, ending the episode.

Trivia[]

Unlike a couple of moments where either Norbert and Daggett are shown fully furless, this episode is the only one where only both Norbert and Daggett's heads' furs are intact while furless, probably so as they look almost recognizable and entirely distinguishable.
It is unknown why did the beavers try Gallstone's Book of Magic, although they probably wanted to test tricks from it in their house.
Norb says that people are putting the Christmas decorations up earlier every year. Then, an announcer states that there are 173 shopping days left 'til Christmas. That would mean it was June 22, meaning this episode takes place on June 22, 1997.
The annual nude cab drivers convention is probably a reference to nude recreational activities practiced by nudists such as the World Naked Bike Ride.
The Naked Sheep Song indirectly explains the benefits of nudism.
