Beals hides inside a soft drink bottle display and finds himself trapped when the display is attached to a billboard high above the street. B. O. Plenty becomes furious when a soft-drink bottler uses Sparkle's name and picture without permission. On a hunch, Tracy has the display lowered back to the street. They cut an opening and find Heels Beals dehydrated and close to death. B. O. comes to terms with the soft-drink bottler, and Beals is transported to the jail's hospital ward.
