Spider-Ham was testing his strength before going to an induction ceremony at the Daily Beagle. Since he was early, he made an attempt to stop a bank robbery at Ye First Colonial Bank but failed. Spider-Ham was nearly late for the ceremony and Jonah decided to start without him. Jonah asked who would "answer the Beagle's clarion call and come forth to claim the future" and Charles Foster Pupp declared that he would, although Jonah claimed that Upton, Bunsen, and Jeremiah were supposed to answer the call. C.F. revealed that with the backing of Farnsworth Junior the Third, he had become the new owner of the Daily Beagle, bought Jonah's mother's shares of the company, and also declared himself its new editor. Charles fired everyone over the age of twenty-five, as he wanted to make the Beagle a young and vibrant newspaper, moments before Peter finally arrived. The next day, C.F. offered to make Peter his new photo editor and although the latter attempted to quit, Jonah revealed that his contract prevented him from doing so. Peter decided to go on vacation before C.F. appointed Jeremiah his assistant editor. Jonah challenged Charles to a journalistic duel and the young editor claimed that his predecessor could become editor again if he came up with a front-page story in three days, but if he did not, he would have to accept a lifetime job as "sub-editor." C.F. discretely told Jeremiah that he would simply refuse to put on the front page whatever Jonah submitted, claiming that he couldn't possibly win. On Day 1, Jonah interviewed Dr. Thaddeus Beakface at the park about various opinions of his, but did not find him feeding the pigeons interesting. Later, Jonah saw a report on the television about Beakface making an important breakthrough after thirty years of feeding pigeons and Jonah felt like a fool for missing a story. On Day 2, Jonah was supposed to interview two men playing checkers and believed that they could give him a story like Beakface could have. After a long time of asking them questions, the two men claimed that all they ever did was play checkers. Later, Jonah saw on TV that after losing 3,786,427 checker games in a row, Edward Grizzly had killed his opponent and once again, Jonah was upset that he had missed another story. On Day 3, Jonah visited the Old Goats' Home and saw a group of old apes walk to the basement only for young animals to come out afterwards. Jonah went to the basement, then hid when the young animals came back to change back into their disguises. Meanwhile, Spider-Ham, who was on vacation, saw the "apes" outside of the State Pension Repository and grabbed one with his web, only to learn that it was Jonah in disguise. Jonah briefed Peter and the latter defeated the "apes" before the former finally found "the biggest scoop of the year." When C.F. arrived in front of them, he learned that his backer Farnsworth Junior the Third became a member of the gang after squandering all of his money on video games. C.F. realized that if Farnsworth Junior the Third was broke, he was ruined, as he bought the Daily Beagle on credit. Then, Charles Foster Pupp revealed that he was actually Jonah's former journalism professor Charles Foster Mutt. Then, "Jonah" revealed "himself" to be J. Joanna Jackal, Jonah's mother. As Spider-Ham took the criminals away, Joanna revealed that Jonah was out of town after his second assignment. Then, Bunsen and Upton learned from C.F. that Pavolv State Tech forced him into retirement, but he couldn't stand not working and attempted to get hired by a newspaper despite nobody wanting to hire anybody of his age. As a result, C.F. came up with the alter ego of Yuppy Pupp. On the dawn of another day, C.F. found the job shining the shoes of every employee he fired and Jeremiah became the new editor-in-chief. Meanwhile, Jonah came to the Old Goats' Home and asked to come in.
