Nimnul informs Pete that he is failing the latest safety inspection and that he has to fix everything before the inspector returns in a week. If he fails again, the factory may be shut down forever.
Pete is desperate to pass the inspection, so he bribes Max and PJ to come to his factory to help him. They are excited about getting paid, but they don't know how dangerous the factory can be.

On the day of the inspection, Norton Nimnul finds out about all the violations that Goofy missed, and he is angry.
