This episode starts off with Stan Marsh wondering where Kyle is, followed by Eric Cartman saying he hopes he caught a disease and died, with Stan and Kenny reprimanding him. Kyle arrives and announces to the group that (because it is his birthday) his mom is taking him and three of his friends to Casa Bonita, a restaurant that Cartman dreams about frequently. Cartman is ecstatic and begins singing the "Casa Bonita Song" until Kyle disappoints him by revealing that he has decided to invite Butters to his birthday party instead. Kyle cites the fact that Cartman constantly mocks him for being a Jew and that Butters is a better friend to him than Cartman. Cartman then sets out on a campaign to prove that he is nice; however, kindness is such a foreign concept to Cartman that his attempts are overall unsuccessful (in this episode it emerges that Cartman cannot tell the difference between wearing a nice sweater and actually being nice), and Butters gets invited. Cartman's next step is to talk to Jimmy asking him to teach him to be nice. Cartman then can't grasp any of what Jimmy tells him, and when Kyle passes by, he proceeds to beat up Jimmy, pretending to be defending Kyle's mom from Jimmy saying he had had sex with her. Cartman then talks to Kyle, saying that he was sorry for all the past abuse he had inflicted upon him and saying that he hoped they could still be friends despite the predicament. Kyle, touched and knowing how much Cartman wanted to go to Casa Bonita, says that, if Butters is for some reason unable to go, Cartman can. This, of course, was Cartman's whole evil plan, and he begins working to get rid of Butters. 
 
Cartman tricks Butters into thinking that a meteor is about to hit Earth, and arranges for him to go into hiding to escape the disaster; and, with Butters gone, Cartman figures he's set to go to the restaurant with Kyle. He hides Butters into Jimbo's bomb shelter filled with food and water. However, Kyle, saying that it "doesn't feel right" to go and enjoy himself after finding out that Butters is missing, and decides to postpone the party for a week. The policemen state that they will be checking bomb shelters as well, which is bad news to Cartman. Cartman says that a meteor the size of Wyoming has hit and that the world is filled with radioactive cannibals. Cartman makes Butters wear a paper bag on his head so he doesn't see that there hasn't been a meteor, saying that the destruction is too terrible for Butters to see. Cartman brings Butters to the broken down gas station because it looks horrible enough. Cartman then tells Butters that a radioactive cannibal just came and Cartman managed to kill it, but that it bit him so Cartman will turn into one as well. Cartman puts Butters into a refrigerator; seconds after Cartman leaves, a garbage truck comes and dumps Butters into the city dump. Butters thinks the dump is the remainders of the Earth and after finding a dog, they build a "new civilization". While he is doing so, he finds a garbage woman and thinks she is another survivor, and asks her to help rebuild the civilization. When Butters explains Cartman's story, the woman explains that none of it actually happened: there was no meteor, no-one was killed, and the town has been looking for Butters for over a week. 
 
During the trip to Casa Bonita, at a point Cartman loses control. 
 
Stan: "Maybe we should let Kyle choose which ride we go on first." 
Cartman: "What? Fuck Kyle...er... just kidding... just kidding." 
 
After arriving at Casa Bonita, Kyle's mom gets a call telling her what's happening, making Kyle's doubts reality. They confront Cartman, notifying him that the police are on their way. Knowing that his entire plan is close to ruin, Cartman escapes, running into the restaurant. He wants to re-enact all the "fun" that he had in his dream before he is caught; he eats someone's tacos, dances, goes on various rides and sees many attractions. After Cartman dashes through Casa Bonita, sampling the food, the police arrive to arrest him. He is trapped and cornered by the police, and the Broflovskis and the boys. He jumps off the waterfall. They catch up with him floating on his back in the water below. When a police officer explains all the trouble that Cartman's caused, and that he's going to be sent to Juvenile Hall for a week, he asks Cartman if it had been worth it. Cartman responds dreamily, "....totally," before the credits roll.
