Episode Summary
Candace has just gotten a job at the Har D Har Toy Company store in the mall across from the Mr. Slushy Dawg where Jeremy works. Just as she is calling Stacy on her cell phone she mentions that she hopes that Jeremy looks over and sees "how cute" she is. She gets her wish when the store manager puts an embarrassing hat advertising their top product, Shimmy Jimmy, on her and Jeremy sees her in it. Phineas and Ferb come in to the store and Candace reluctantly introduces them to the Shimmy Jimmy product. Phineas comments that it doesn't look very fun, so he and Ferb decide to build a better toy.

Phineas and Ferb come up with the designs while Perry slips into his secret lair. Inside, Major Monogram informs Perry that Dr. Doofenshmirtz has been stealing bricks from all over the Tri-State Area, and tells him to stop him before it "all falls down"

Phineas and Ferb introduce their new toy design to the Har D Har Toy Company, Perry the Inaction Figure.

Memorable Quotes
Phineas: "What we need is a toy so stupidly simple; so basically bland; so idiotically uncomplicated; that it can do absolutely anything."

"Major Monogram: "Animals are rioting, convicts are escaping from the zoo!""

Phineas: "Who the heck are you guys?" the Ba-dink-a-dinks: "We are the Ba-dink-a-dinks! You set us free when you remodeled the factory. We'd been trapped in there for years, making foam peanuts and snipping the tabs off of plastic. We will now Lay waste to the Surface Dwellers!" Phineas: "...Okay then. Carry on."

Store Manager: "You look like number one!" Candace: "I feel like number two."
