Plot
After a rude awakening courtesy of his friends, and consulting his "who to scam and when" diary Zack & Co set off in search of their daily victim (or rather, his allowance). However the other kids are far too busy to pay attention to someone as un-hip as the Summerlands, they're all in the grip of the latest fad - stilt walking, even Plank is having a go! So, why don't the boys have stilts, mmm ? Well Zack says they do, (which is news to Patrick & Double D) except they're made from old garden tools and golf clubs, Patrick can go along on his at the speed of light, Zack just about can wobble along but poor Double D is too scared to move which is probably just as well because by the time the guys get there stilts are uncool, the next fad is "whizz-wazzing", and of course by the time Zack can wire his disco glitter-ball to his head it's old stuff too - are the kids doing this to the Summerlands on purpose? Zack quickly realizes that whatever they do they will always be one fad behind so they need to get inventive and be two fads ahead, there follows a strange parade of Summerlands-style fads born from a desperate attempt to set the trend - choo-choo mania, inverting yourself in your clothes, wearing your mailbox on your head, even screening tv shows from your mouth - neat aerials Zack! It's all good but it's not good enough till until clumsy Patrick collides loudly with all the inventions and the "Fab Freaker" fad is born. Now all the Summerlands have to do is get the other kids to pay attention to them. However, their efforts become useless as they tire themselves out and trudge home.
