Max opens the curtain again and out pops Lisa. Lisa’s new outfit appears to be a glow in the dark neon yellow three piece But, when the gang adds up how much she charged to her father’s credit card, it turns out that he’s now in debt $386, including for some “Man-eater Perfume.” The others encourage Lisa to keep one thing and take back the rest since they reasonably conclude that Lisa will probably be in trouble when her father finds out she's charged nearly $400 to his credit card. But it turns out that the store wouldn't let Lisa take back her stuff so she's planning on running away. Zack go to Lisa to see that Jessie, Kelly, and Lisa are all there helping trying figuring out what Lisa is doing. But Lisa is packing her stuff and clothes to run away.

Jessie and Kelly suggest she try to earn the money back, and when Lisa points out she's never earned money in her life, Zack rips open his shirt and says, “This sounds like a job for Zack Man!” He's wearing a t-shirt underneath with a giant Z on it.

As their biology teacher teaches about animal and are boys start by redeeming their kisses with Lisa, while the teacher is Teaching And, at that very moment, Mr. Belding announces there's going to be an earthquake drill, during which Screech tries to redeem his kisses with Lisa and we get a cartoonish sequence reminiscent of Scooby Doo in which which Lisa and Screech's heads keep popping up above different tables as Lisa tries to get away from Screech. Zack Morris's next idea is to sell Lisa's clothes, and Screech wires up a system so that he can open and close all the lockers in the hallways simultaneously, complete with Lisa's clothes inside. The sell goes on forever and Slater trying to keep Mr. Belding away from the sell, and Kelly in one of Lisa's bathing suits. as Mr. Belding discovers the sell and Mr. Belding returns to the hallway and discovers the sell in session. Zack admits it's all Lisa’s stuff and Mr. Belding assumes it’s all being donated to the school charity drive way. Lisa’s next attempt to earn money is by getting a job at The Max, which she’s horrible at because She spills three trays. Lisa is rude with the customers and the others help her take away plates before people can even finish eating with that she can serve more people and earn more tips.
