When a clock lands on Mater's engine, he travels back in time to 1909 where he meets Stanley, an ambitious young car on his way to California.
Lightning McQueen gets hiccups while drinking his breakfast of champions: oil. Many of the Radiator Springs residents give him advice on how to cure the hiccups, but none of the ideas work—until Sally kisses him on the cheek and his hiccups disappear. Just then, Sheriff starts getting hiccups, which then leads to Mater (mistakenly thinking that kissing will help all hiccups due to Sally) attempting to kiss Sheriff to cure his hiccups. This startles Sheriff, which then leads to a chase between Sheriff and Mater, ending the episode.
