Summary

Ren and Stimpy are on death row at the pound when a sweet and seemingly sane old lady comes to adopt them. At their new home, Ren finds a dog sleeping in a basket. He tries talking to it, but it doesn't respond. He soon discovers that the dog is long dead and the old lady had it stuffed. Afterward, the two of them begin doing usual cat and dog things (Ren bum-scooting on the rug, Stimpy ripping up the sofa). The old lady thinks that they're possessed, so she tells her huge Asian butler to take care of them. The butler breaks Stimpy hands and feet and Ren is forced to sit on a plastic cushion. Then the butler rings the bell for dinner. The old lady serves them gravel instead of food, which they are forced to eat. Ren breaks his teeth on his and Stimpy put the entire ball of gravel in his mouth and begins choking on it. Ren tries to save him, but the old lady mistakenly assumes that they're fighting and sprays them with the hose. Then she takes the two of them to the animal clinic to be spayed and neutered. At home, the two of them are ready to sleep, but the old lady wakes them up and forces them to sleep in the yard, which is also a graveyard. The two of them escape from home, only to be captured by a police officer. They are faced with two choices: Go back to death row at the pound or go back to the old lady. The two of them choose the old lady, only to discover upon returning home that she's dead, presumably killed by the butler. Cause of decease: lead poisoning. The lawyer reads the old lady's will to the butler and Ren and Stimpy. The butler, masquerading as both the chauffer and the goldfish, recieves a lot of money and a solid gold Lincolin. Ren and Stimpy, however, are chosen to join the old lady in the etenral mercy of sleep. They are both killed and then stuffed. The episode ends with the butler dusting them, along with the also-stuffed old lady.
