Bob turns into a short-order inventor when he hashes out a new invention for a local diner with an air rifle. Then he uses a bag of sugar and a tent to create an automatic campsite.

Bob stumbles across a neighborhood block party and builds an invention that leaves everyone yelling for s'more. He gets inspired by a piece of charcoal to deal with his dirty grill, Bob style. Then, Bob helps what could be the world's smallest museum put its stamp on the New York City museum world, literally.
