Synopsis

Dr. Xargle enters the classroom, and he is correctly suspicious of the Queegles, as they are quiet and well-behaved; he falls down a hole (which the Queegles have sawn in the floor), and he believes that his head has been damaged, because it swells and shrinks according to the size of mortarboard that the Queegles substitute. A lesson is given regarding fashion on Earth, and the Queegles take part in a fashion show, which entails them wearing most of the Earthling clothes incorrectly. They then visit a department store on Earth with the usual resultant mishaps. In the hairdressing salon, Nigel Spume is "overcooked" under a hair dryer, and he also loses his clothes, thanks to the Queegles.
