On a school field trip to the state Capitol, Missy is disappointed to learn that there is no gift shop and decides, along with her friend Oscar, to visit the governor to petition for one.
The class is putting on a play about George Washington Carver, and Missy is mad because she does not have an important part, but when the lead actor freezes, Missy saves the play.
Missy wants to take home the class pets, but another girl, Tiffany, has already asked their teacher so Missy and her friend Oscar need to come up with a plan to make Tiffany change her mind.
