Plot
Tom and his friends were lying around on Lazy Monday, their holiday where they don't do anything. Then, The Landlord comes in and is shocked by the amount of garbage, because photographers for a magazine were coming to take pictures of the garage. He was also shocked when he saw his priceless antique grandfather clock in the piles of trash, since it was supposed to be,"the piece that fancies up the whole garage." The Landlord threatens that they had to clean the place up or they'll be evicted.

So, Ben began to clean, but Tom didn't want to give up on his holiday, so he asks Ben for an invention. Ben goes and gets a large, clunky machine. It turned everything that went in it into a thin sheet.

So, Tom and his friends get lazy and toss whatever they find in there into the machine, but it overloads the machine, malfunctioning it. The malfunction turned everything in the garage into a thin sheet, including Tom and his friends.

Tom realizes that he still could roll up all the trash and throw it into the storage room. But then the door's window opens, sucking all of the friends and the grandfather clock out.

Ginger, Tom, Angela and Hank were pinned onto a billboard by the wind, while the clock got stuck below. They get off the billboard by acting like a piece of bologna Hank threw at a wall, which slid into a trash can.

Then they act like a menu that Ginger blew at, which rolled onto Tom's face. They rolled to a crosswalk. They remember playing Frogger the other day, so they roll forwards systematically to make it to the other side without being flattened.

They grab the clock and roll home, parkouring across the obstacles in their way, but they find a yard crew in the backyard preventing them from getting in. Then Ben comes along, knowing how to fly perfectly because he calculated the physics behind it. He then has a plan to get past the yard; they folded into a giant paper airplane and flew home.

They opened the door, reversed the machine and turned everyone back to normal. Unfortunately, the photographer came and saw all the clutter around. The Landlord got mad at first, but the photographer loves it because it's so real, unlike other landlords who make their area so clean, it seems fake. Tom and his friends are relieved that they weren't evicted.
