Aldo volunteers to be the fifth member in Bill's Squaddo game, but Bill tries to stop him because he hasn't told his family his best friend is an alligator. After eating fried tadpole buttocks, Aldo also gets a case of the giccups (gator hiccups) so Bill and some of their friends try to make the giccups go away.

While using his new telescope Bill spots Aldo in Cecil and Claire's apartment. After being told that Aldo has eaten Cecil and Claire by Ed, Waddle and Oly, they go to the apartment finding that Aldo is only baby-sitting their pet lizard for the weekend.

After Aldo wins another bowling trophy, Bill realizes that he has never won a trophy himself, so he goes out to the city pond to fish for a rare marine animal.

Bill decides he needs some time to himself only to find Ed, Waddle and Oly in his house watching TV. So he takes a boat to a private island only to have his boat float away. While on the island, he makes a new friend in a chicken and is almost eaten by alligators. When Ed, Oly, and Waddle notice Bill is missing, they set off to rescue him.

An alien named Zug visits Ducktown with a remote that can control people. Finding it funny at first, their opinion changes when Aldo is frozen, Ed, Oly and Waddle are put into a video game they are playing, and Bill gets shrunk. In the end Zug's parents arrive and he gets grounded.
