In the first story, "School Bully," Cow and Chicken find themselves at the mercy of the school bully, who has been causing problems for them and their friends. The bully has been stealing their lunch money and bullying other students, leaving everyone fearful and miserable.
Cow and Chicken decide to take matters into their own hands and stand up to the bully. They come up with a plan to trick him and teach him a lesson. With the help of their friends, they create a fake "superhero" costume and go after the bully. The bully falls for the plan and becomes scared of the superhero, leaving Cow and Chicken and their friends free from his tyranny.
In the second story, "Time Machine," Cow and Chicken find a time machine in their backyard. They decide to use it to visit different times and places. Their first stop is prehistoric times where they encounter dinosaurs. They then travel to ancient Egypt and witness the building of the pyramids. They even travel to the future and visit a planet inhabited by robots.
However, things take a turn for the worse when the time machine malfunctions and they get stuck in the wrong time period. They end up in a medieval era where they are captured by a group of knights. They are put on trial for being witches, but Cow and Chicken are able to convince the court of their innocence by using their knowledge of historical events to their advantage.
In the end, Cow and Chicken make it back home safely with the time machine and a newfound appreciation for their own time period. The episode ends with the two siblings happily enjoying a bowl of cereal, grateful for their adventures but happy to be home.
