In "Super-Hip Flies Again," Bob Hope enlists the help of psychiatrist Dr. F. Rutecake for his overly well-adjusted friend Tadwallader Jutefruice, leading to an unexpected turn when Bob urges Tadwallader to join the Benedict Arnold High School football team. When Badger Goldliver provokes him, Tadwallader’s frustration sparks a transformation into Super-Hip, unleashing a surreal showdown that ends with Badger turned into a waffle with maple syrup.
