Plot
The Episode begins with Finn and Jake climbing a ladder to the top of their house for a roof party. When Finn arrives, he does a flip and slams the chips on the table, to everyone's delight. Cinnamon Bun compliments Finn on his energy and focus, and implores Finn to do another flip. To which Finn says "...I never slow down!", that peeks the interest of a rather hefty gnome, he asks Finn if his energy might be enough to power a huge machine. Which Finn says it probably could. When the gnome starts to back away from him, Finn tells Jake that his friend is Super weird, but had Jake thought the gnome was Finn's friend. Later that night, while Finn is sleeping, the gnome that was their roof party kidnaps him. In the morning Jake gets punched by his own stomach, and wakes to see Finn is not in bed. When he starts wondering where Finn might be, he and Beemo break into song and start dancing. The scene then cuts to Finn in a dark room, tied up, with a sack on his head. When the sack is removed the Gnome Spy reveals himself to be the Grandmaster of the Gnomes and ruler of the "Beneathaverse". The Grandmaster has been looking for the ultimate power source, which he thinks is Finn, he needs Finn's immense energy to power the "Upturnoverdrive". Which is a machine that will flip over the entire world, so that the gnomes will be on top. To make Finn run he prodded with what seems to be a type of taser. Finn then threatens the gnomes by saying, "Jake is on his way to mess you guys (up)." The story then shows Jake sitting outside eating a sandwich with Beemo, and periodically taking bites and calling for Finn. Then he says he's getting worried about him, and gets up to go find him, when his attention is grabbed by a dancing bug. Which, Jake says, is "shaking it" all wrong, and shows him how it's done. When Finn fully powers up part of the machine, he is needed elsewhere to power the plasma ball, with dancing. Music begins to play and the floor is electrocuted so Finn has no choice, but to dance. Again, it cuts back to Jake, who is chugging a "crash shake", with a group of lady bugs. When Jake asks Simon, a lady bug, if there are any left, he says there aren't. Which makes Jake say "finished", which in turn makes him remeber that Finn has gone missing. Jake is determined to use his five senses to track Finn, when he sees a trail of footprints to small to be Finn's he deduces they must me gnome prints, carrying something like Finn. He continues to follow the prints, until he is distracted my two Nymphs in a pool of water, who are telling jokes. When one tells a joke, and messes up the punch line, she says it's still funny. To which Jake says, "...Ya'll are horrible at telling jokes", and commences to teach them how to do it right. When we see Finn again, he is at the final stage, the brain machine. Which will suck the energy from Finn's thoughts, when Finn realizes they can't let the gnomes win, so he breaks out of the chair. He throws the brain draining helmet at the gnomes and rips his shirt off, revealing a very muscular form. Then, Jake busts in the wall, and the two rejoice. But, sadly, this is all in Finn's imagination, which powers their machine even more. The scene again cuts back to Jake, who is the Cloud Kingdom, dancing with the Nymphs, Lady Bugs, and all the Cloud People. Jake is having such a good time, he doesn't even remember how he got there, the Nymphs inform him that he blacked out laughing so hard. So, they brought him to the Cloud Kingdom, to party with the Party God. Who is a floating wolf's head that wears his hat to the side. And because Jake pleases him so much, the Party god, will grant Jake one wish. That's when Jake remembered he still hasn't found Finn, Jake then wishes that he could focus on finding his friend. But, then interrupts the Party god, as he starts to grant his wish, asking if there is a catch. There indeed is a catch, that the Party god would have to fill Jake's body with the energy of one-thousand partying demons. Which will make him "So overloaded with party energy, that (he) will demolish everything in (his) path!" The Party god then fires a yellow stream of light from his mouth, Jake then flies off the clouds screaming that he must party forever. Back to the Beneathaverse, the machine is finally starting to work, when Jake files down a well and belly slams all of the gnomes. He starts to dance and inadvertently destroys the gnome's lair. Finn is ecstatic to see Jake, and Jake suggests they go eat Cinnamon Bun.
