The episode begins when Arnold has a dream about climing into giant ice cream cones. He gets to the top of one and starts eating it, when he is disturbed by his alarm clock. Arnold wakes up to find himself sweating and overheated as the town goes through a heat wave. The garbage is overflowing outside of Arnold's house, traffic is jammed in the highway, and even the mailman is complaining about it being hot outside. Meanwhile, despite being locked in his meat freezer, Mr. Green is relieved by it.
Arnold walks down the hallway downstairs, while a young woman complains to him about cold air, and noticed his grandma acting different than she normally is. Arnold sees the adults cornered in front of the air coditioner. When the air conditioner died, it causes the grown ups to panic. Grandpa politely asks Arnold to run to the grocery store and get some ice. When he gets there, he noticed a long line and as soon as he arrives, there is only one bag left! With the ice melting due to the intense heat, Arnold quickly runs home and bumps into Gerald. With haste he tells Gerald that he has to get inside before the ice melts, but notices that the ice has already melted. Arnold brings the bag home anyway and the grown ups get angry at him for suspecting that the ice has already melted. Disheartened, Arnold and Gerald scamper away.
Hot and exhausted, Arnold and Gerald walk when they spot a fire hydrant. They turn it open, letting the water out in an attempt to cool down from the heat, but it suddenly runs out which disappoint the boys as they see a burning house across the street and the firefighters putting out the fire. Then, Arnold and Gerald have an idea to go to the movies assuming that it would be cool and air conditioned. However, they're disgusted with the movie selections and noticed a long line at the ticket booth. Then, Arnold suggested that he and Gerald to go the pool and cool off, but notices that the pool is overcrowded. This frustrates Arnold. Gerald tells him they should leave and just forget about it.
Arnold and Gerald walk down the street, even more tired and overheated, when they see their class angrily rioting to the Jolly Olly Man. Arnold asks what was going on and why the kids are mad. Stinky tells him that the ice cream man has raised the prices for ice cream, perhaps to prices that kids can't afford! Eugene asked the Jolly Olly Man for a snow cone, but he tells him that the snow cone costs $18.00. Eugene claims that he can't afford it and that he only has $0.75. Angry like a bull, the Jolly Olly Man tells that that amount of money will give him nothing!.
Arnold, feeling protested like his classmates, confronts the Jolly Olly Man and threatens him if he doesn't lower his prices to a fair amount. But the Jolly Olly Man taunts Arnold, which forces him to start a youth protest with the kids shouting "No Ice Cream! No Peace!".
Helga intervenes and also protests against the Jolly Olly Man. Wanting him to change the prices to what Arnold's classmates can afford, Helga threatens the Jolly Olly Man by saying they will do something aggressive if he doesn't accept with their demands.
