Here's how it plays out:
* The Set-Up: Ed, Edd, and Eddy discover a discarded, massive movie screen in a junkyard. They realize its potential for profit, as a large screen could draw a huge crowd to their "show".
* The Scam: They start a rumor that the screen will be displaying a "super secret" movie. They charge the neighborhood kids an exorbitant amount of money (a whole "pile" of jawbreakers) to watch. They also try to sell various food items for "viewing pleasure".
* The Big Picture: When the kids arrive, they realize the screen is blank. Ed, Edd, and Eddy try to scramble and buy time, claiming the movie needs "special effects". They even try to make up a story about a missing projector.
* The Fall: The scam eventually unravels as the kids become increasingly frustrated. They get caught, and Ed, Edd, and Eddy are forced to give back the jawbreakers, adding another failed scam to their list.
The episode highlights the classic Ed, Edd n Eddy formula:
* The Craze: Kids love a good movie, especially a "super secret" one.
* The Greed: Eddy always sees an opportunity to make a quick buck.
* The Inevitable Failure: Their schemes, while well-intentioned, are always doomed to fail.
