[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Mackey <u>Mr. Mackey</u>] is making the kindergarten students perform a play about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay <u>tooth decay</u>] and the importance of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_hygiene <u>dental hygiene</u>]. He is furious when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ike_Broflovski <u>Ike</u>], who is supposed to portray tooth decay, misses a rehearsal to watch the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada <u>Canadian</u>] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_royal_weddings <u>royal wedding</u>]. During the ceremony, the princess is enclosed in a giant [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube <u>cube</u>] and spirited away. Ike is so distraught that he cannot stop crying during rehearsal and gets sent home by Mr. Mackey. As people all over Canada [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide <u>kill themselves</u>] out of despair for the princess' abduction, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Canada <u>Prime Minister of Canada</u>] instructs all people of Canadian descent to go home and open their "Box of Faith", which contains - along with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_locator_beacon <u>location beacon</u>], a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_aid_kit <u>first aid kit</u>], and a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich <u>sandwich</u>] - a video recording issuing a call to arms for all Canadians in fighting condition to "meet by the tree in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonton <u>Edmonton</u>]". Ike answers the call and, while riding a bus to Canada, meets a fellow Canadian named [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugly_Bob <u>Ugly Bob</u>], who claims he has to wear a bag over his head because, even though he simply appears Canadian to Americans, other Canadians find his face frighteningly ugly.
At the school, [[Mr. Mackey]] is preparing a production with the kindergarteners on the dangers of tooth decay. However, when it is time for "Tooth Decay" to come on stage, he is nowhere to be seen - apparently the actor is at home watching the Royal Wedding on the TV. Mackey wonders who could care about the Royal Family of Canada so much.

Once the pair arrive, the first instinct of the member of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Forces <u>Canadian Armed Forces</u>] leading the gathered Canadians is that the princess was taken by a giant, who turns out to be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_the_Dick <u>Scott the Dick</u>], who grew to seven feet tall - giant by Canadian standards - after a radioactive accident in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa <u>Ottawa</u>]. When it turns out that Scott has been wrongly accused of taking the princess, most other Canadians go home, but Scott persuades Ike and Ugly Bob to follow him as he accuses the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit <u>Inuit</u>] of kidnapping the princess out of his racial prejudice towards the "Native Canadians." However, while admitting that his people do have a grudge against the Canadians for taking their land, the Inuit tribe leader reveals that the princess' abduction was foretold, and that the true kidnapper is one who attacks people of all nationalities. With an Inuit mother leading the three, they find a large dark castle, where the princess is held captive by the abductor: Tooth Decay. Eventually, after the monster hurls Scott and the Inuit woman across the room, Ike turns Tooth Decay to stone by exposing Ugly Bob's face to him.
[[Ike]] is enjoying the program - in attendance of the wedding are Sirs [[Terrance and Phillip]] and their wives the [[Queef Sisters]], [[Bryan Adams]] and various other Canadian celebrities. However, part way through the ceremony, the roof begins to fall in, and the princess-to-be is taken hostage via her floating away in some kind of energy cube. Ike is, of course, distraught, and cannot rehearse the next day - much to Mackey's annoyance.
 
   
  +
While this all occurs, Mr. Mackey becomes increasingly irate with Ike's absence and blames it on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Broflovski <u>Kyle</u>], who fills Ike's role in the play. During rehearsals he consistently loses his temper with the children for singing flat or without feeling, directing his most scathing remarks at Kyle, and reveals that the play means a great deal to him because Tooth Decay killed his father. While the play is success with parents of the kindergartners, Mr. Mackey verbally abuses his actors' imperfections backstage until the police intervene, telling Mackey to cancel the play due to reports coming in from the Yukon that Tooth Decay is dead. Ike receives a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight <u>knighthood</u>] from the Canadian princess, an honor that fails to impress any of the boys, and the royal wedding begins again. The event involves bizarre traditions such as the prince putting his arms into a large bowl of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterscotch <u>butterscotch</u>] pudding, the princess scraping them clean and smearing the pudding on her own face, and the prince tearing one of her arms off and inserting it into his anus.
A news report on the wedding incident mentions that Canadians are committing suicide out of despair since they can't deal with the loss anymore. A message from the Prime Minister of Canada says for all Canadian citizens who didn't commit suicide are to open their "faith boxes", whatever they are. Ike seems to know straight away and heads home. He finds a dusty old box labelled "FAITH BOX" and on opening, a pre-recorded video of the Canadian Prime Minister is projected onto the wall. He states that, if the box has been ordered opened, one of the Royal Family must be in danger. The order is to travel to Canada, take up arms and rescue the imperilled Royal. Inside the box is everything required for the operation.
 
 
With Ike's disappearence, Mackey goes apoplectic towards [[Kyle]] in the middle of a strange type of maths class - since Ike is his brother, it's his problem to deal with.
 
 
On the bus to Canada, Ike carries a shield, sword and helmet. Another Canadian, [[Ugly Bob]], recognizes Ike to be Canadian. Since his last appearence, Bob has moved to the US where he is seen as "just another Canadian", and not the disfigured monstrosity he is seen as in Canada - he still wears a paper bag on his head though. He and Ike buddy up. At the rendezvous, the Canadians all face off with who they believe to be the culprit - [[Scott the Dick]], who since his last appearence has turned into a giant dick due to radiation exposure (he has grown to abnormal size).
 
 
Scott correctly points out that he is probably the most patriotic Canadian there, and he has no reason to ruin the wedding - at this, the Prime Minister admits they got it wrong and everyone leaves aside from Ike and Bob. They team up with Scott to track down the princess' real abductor.
 
 
In order to make things up with Mackey, Kyle has stood in for Ike as Tooth Decay in the play - Mackey does not seem to realise that it is just a little kids' play, and constantly hurls abuse at everyone, in particular Kyle. He reveals that he is so passionate about it because his dad was killed by tooth decay two years before, much to everyone's surprise.
 
 
Scott believes that the abductors were the Native Canadians, primarily Eskimos. They are eventually captured, and the natives say that they know who took the princess (with Bob translating for Scott and Ike). They take the three to a large castle, where they can see the princess through a window. They and their native guide enter the castle, where the princess is chained to a wall. They realise that the culprit is actually [[Tooth Decay]], who is exacting punishment on the princess for not flossing properly. Tooth Decay easily defeats the native and Scott, but Ike manages to turn it into a statue by showing it Bob's face.
 
 
Mackey's play is stopped by the South Park police as a result of the demise of Tooth Decay, much to his relief.
 
 
As a result of their actions, Bob and Scott both recieve white chocolate medals in recognition of their heroics, and Ike gets a Canadian knighthood, which Kyle finds impressive - unfortunately, [[Stan]] compares it to his sister being head of the girl scouts, Cartman compares it to his uncle being second in line to be manager at Gart Brothers, and Kenny says nothing. Kyle then agrees with them that Ike being Knighted is not so amazing. The wedding finally continues as the Prince tears off the Princess' arm.

Synopsis

It is a joyous time for all Canadians as the royal wedding commences. But just as the prince and princess are about to be joined for all eternity, the princess is abducted! All Canadians are called upon to help save the princess. Ike answers the call to arms.

Plot

Mr. Mackey is making the kindergarten students perform a play about tooth decay and the importance of dental hygiene. He is furious when Ike, who is supposed to portray tooth decay, misses a rehearsal to watch the Canadian royal wedding. During the ceremony, the princess is enclosed in a giant cube and spirited away. Ike is so distraught that he cannot stop crying during rehearsal and gets sent home by Mr. Mackey. As people all over Canada kill themselves out of despair for the princess' abduction, the Prime Minister of Canada instructs all people of Canadian descent to go home and open their "Box of Faith", which contains - along with a location beacon, a first aid kit, and a sandwich - a video recording issuing a call to arms for all Canadians in fighting condition to "meet by the tree in Edmonton". Ike answers the call and, while riding a bus to Canada, meets a fellow Canadian named Ugly Bob, who claims he has to wear a bag over his head because, even though he simply appears Canadian to Americans, other Canadians find his face frighteningly ugly.

Once the pair arrive, the first instinct of the member of the Canadian Armed Forces leading the gathered Canadians is that the princess was taken by a giant, who turns out to be Scott the Dick, who grew to seven feet tall - giant by Canadian standards - after a radioactive accident in Ottawa. When it turns out that Scott has been wrongly accused of taking the princess, most other Canadians go home, but Scott persuades Ike and Ugly Bob to follow him as he accuses the Inuit of kidnapping the princess out of his racial prejudice towards the "Native Canadians." However, while admitting that his people do have a grudge against the Canadians for taking their land, the Inuit tribe leader reveals that the princess' abduction was foretold, and that the true kidnapper is one who attacks people of all nationalities. With an Inuit mother leading the three, they find a large dark castle, where the princess is held captive by the abductor: Tooth Decay. Eventually, after the monster hurls Scott and the Inuit woman across the room, Ike turns Tooth Decay to stone by exposing Ugly Bob's face to him.

While this all occurs, Mr. Mackey becomes increasingly irate with Ike's absence and blames it on Kyle, who fills Ike's role in the play. During rehearsals he consistently loses his temper with the children for singing flat or without feeling, directing his most scathing remarks at Kyle, and reveals that the play means a great deal to him because Tooth Decay killed his father. While the play is success with parents of the kindergartners, Mr. Mackey verbally abuses his actors' imperfections backstage until the police intervene, telling Mackey to cancel the play due to reports coming in from the Yukon that Tooth Decay is dead. Ike receives a knighthood from the Canadian princess, an honor that fails to impress any of the boys, and the royal wedding begins again. The event involves bizarre traditions such as the prince putting his arms into a large bowl of butterscotch pudding, the princess scraping them clean and smearing the pudding on her own face, and the prince tearing one of her arms off and inserting it into his anus.
