Schemer Jo convinces Tootie and Natalie that money's no object for Mrs. Garrett's birthday present and "picks up" an expensive gift that may cost the girls more than they expect.

Roger tells Jeannie that he has arranged a double date for Tony and himself with two beauty queens. Before Roger can tell Tony, Jeannie turns him into a French poodle. The poodle is taken to the dog pound. There, Tony pays five dollars for a Great Dane he thinks is Roger. Jeannie tells Tony he has the wrong dog. Tony rushes back to the pound where Mr. Asher has just bought the poodle for his son Keith. Asher refuses to sell the poodle, but Tony's bid of five hundred dollars changes his mind. Tony returns to the base with the poodle. Dr. Bellows comes in while Roger is barking his replies to Tony's questions. He tells Tony the poodle is just the dog to be orbited into space. Tony reports this to Jeannie and she returns Roger to his normal self. When Roger tells Jeannie the date with the two girls is still on, Jeannie turns him back into a poodle. Tony tells Dr. Bellows he can't send the poodle into space because the dog is really Roger. Sure he has caught Tony, Dr. Bellows phones Gen. Peterson. By the time he returns to take the dog to Gen. Peterson, Jeannie changes the dog back to Roger again. That night Tony and Roger await their dates at Tony's house. Two beautiful girls come to the door. Jeannie blinks and when Tony opens the door, two cats enter.

Roger and Tony volunteer for a food experiment at the base hospital. Jeannie thinks they're brave, until she hears of the Swedish nurses. To reduce Tony and Roger to wrecks, Comdr. Porter starts them off with a 12 flight climb and 20 laps around the water tower. Jeannie visits the starved, exhausted astronauts and whisks in a table of goodies. As she asks about the nurses, they hear a sweet voice outside. Furious, Jeannie vanishes with the food. Miss Lugosi, bearing large hypodermics, advances and the boys pass out. Porter delightedly notes their weight loss and goes for Bellows. Jeannie finds Roger and Tony too weak to stand. She blanks and Porter and Bellows find them full of pep. Porter claims it was his special vitamins and plans a real test: 5 days on Skull Island, living off the land, but Bellows warns of the mental effects of starvation.
