Matthew thinks that Sooty, Sweep, Soo & Little Cousin Scampi are too hooked with watching television, especially Scampi! When trying to convince Sooty & Soo to give it up, the two get Matthew involved in their own version of 'You Bet!'. Matthew soon releases what they've got him into he decides to ban watching TV in the house until further notice. After that, Matthew arranges a meet up in the dining area to start a conversation which doesn't involve watching TV...but it doesn't work! Soon, Mo arrives for another chat with Matthew, which most of it is about either characters from TV shows or even mentioning TV shows when Mo is giving advice to Matthew. After a television related conversation, Mo offers Matthew to sign up for the educational channel through cable television which means it won't matter to Matthew how late the others watch TV. The next morning, Matthew comes to the breakfast table where he finds Sweep studying for the first time! Sweep says he's a genius, but Matthew doesn't believe him. So to prove it, Matthew sets up his own version of 'Mastermind' with Sweep and Little Cousin Scampi going head to head although Matthew fixes the game so Scampi will win. Then Matthew discovers that it was the cotton wool which got stuck in Sweep's ear that caused Sweep to be the clever scientist he was.
