Blythe buys a bottle of water from a vending machine before class begins, but unbeknownst to her, the school has switched suppliers, and the new bottles' flimsiness and difficulty in untwisting the lid causes the bottle to rupture, splashing herself. She finds the man who stocks the bottles, who tells him that the school is contracted to keep the bottles like this for another few decades. Witnessing the outrage with the students around her, who have also gotten themselves and bystanders drenched trying to open the bottles, Blythe decides to run for president of the student council to bring back the old bottles.
Enlisting the help of Jasper, Sue, and Youngmee, they decide on the water bottles as a central campaign issue. They catch the attention of Brittany and Whittany Biskit who intend to run against Blythe to spite her, then point out that their lawyers noticed the two can run for one office together because they're twins.
At the Littlest Pet Shop, Pepper is going around disturbing the other pets with a bicycle horn (that sounds like a truck horn), but the other pets don't seem too bothered by it since, as Zoe points out, there is a constant buzzing sound present all over the day camp room. Blythe enters the room, unaware of the noise, and lets the pets know Blythe is running against the Biskit Twins. Russell steps up to help organize Blythe's campaign, pointing out that the Biskit Twins don't know of any issues and thus Blythe should have no difficulty against them.
The following day, during lunch, the principal announces that every student will receive free ice cream courtesy of the Biskit Twins. LeGrande walks into the cafeteria with an ice cream push cart and hands every student present, including Blythe and her friends, a cup of gelato. When Blythe confronts LeGrande that candidates bribing the students is against the rules, LeGrande responds that the Biskit Twins had not yet filled the paperwork to become candidates yet. Blythe stands on a table and attempts to discuss the issues she's decided upon when the twins themselves arrive with a portable stage, asking the crowd if they like the gelato. LeGrande hands various students Biskit Twin balloons, and the twins rally up the students with their slogan, "Two for one."
The buzzing in the day camp room has only become louder, even drowning out Zoe's music over headphones. The droning has kept everyone on edge, rendering them unable to do anything. Russell retreats to Blythe's room, where Blythe has been printing campaign posters with her portrait. When Blythe tells Russell of the twins handing out gelato, Russell suggests Blythe give a speech during dessert the following day, which Blythe tries. When it comes time to do so, the students find the dessert near inedible—it turns out the Biskit Twins hired some political advisors, who predicted Blythe would attempt to give a speech during dessert that day and sabotaged it by paying the lunch lady. They proceed to put up posters of themselves over any of Blythe's posters they find and insert a flag depicting themselves directly underneath the school's flag.
The buzzing in the Littlest Pet Shop has soon become unbearable to everyone but Sunil, who is calmly meditating in the corner. Upon Minka's discovery that Sunil has ear plugs, she, Zoe, Pepper, and Penny pick a fight with him and take his ear plugs, but the plugs fall into Vinnie's hands, who wears them and gets away. He escapes with Russell into Blythe's room. Blythe keeps Russell informed about the Biskit Twins' sabotage, and Vinnie, overhearing it with his ear plugs off, advises Blythe to think like they do. Vinnie explains that whenever an idea pops into his head, he forces it out with bizarre thoughts. He demonstrates by starting with the moon and quickly descends into him going crazy and dashing away. By then, Blythe is attempting it herself.
At school, the debate is underway between Blythe and the Biskit Twins. Winning the coin toss is Blythe, who steps up to the podium first. She makes a beeline to the water bottle issue, which only Blythe's friends seem to care about anymore. Before Blythe can say anything else, however, Whittany shoves Blythe off the podium, and the twins propose what they plan to do: Line every locker with faux fur (which elicits groaning), add a gossip column to the school newspaper (which gets mixed reactions), and to improve the school uniforms (which gets good support, despite the schools not using a uniform). Nevertheless, they get the crowd pumped using their slogan, which the audience starts chanting. Blythe attempts to get a word in but is unable to because as one of them focuses on the audience, the other one can focus on Blythe. It is at this moment that Blythe recalls Vinnie's advice to "beat Biskit with Biskit." She barges in between them, takes Whittany's proposal to change the uniforms, and goes on a tangent to create her own slogan, "One is fun." Blythe's new popularity causes the Biskit Twins to leave from the debate. Unfortunately, Blythe is unable to turn off this mentality, which worries Youngmee, Sue, and Jasper.
The buzzing in the Littlest Pet Shop has rendered all of the pets unable to think of anything but the buzzing. Russell walks towards a wall, but Penny warns that it's louder there. When Zoe confirms this, she tracks down the source to a loose nail in the wall. Russell walks over, pulls out the nail, and finds honey dripping from the hole. Zoe rushes over to Mrs. Twombly and calls her over to the hole in the wall. Mrs. Twombly examines the honey and calls a local beekeeper to safely transport the bees and their hive away using her previous experience with bees. In the meantime, Blythe relays the good news to Russell about using Vinnie's advice. When Russell inquires about the original issues she entered for, Blythe says that she'll set them aside if it means she can win, leaving Russell horrified.
The next morning, Blythe comes down the dumbwaiter dressed as a Biskit Twin and with her voice hoarse from practicing her speech all day. She sees Mrs. Twombly in a beekeeping suit, tearing open the wall. Although surprised at first, Mrs. Twombly notices her voice and recommends a honey-lemon drink to sooth her throat. When Mrs. Twombly walks away, Blythe politely asks the bees for a bit of their honey, which they enthusiastically allow, but Blythe realizes she has to head for school before she can have any of the drink.
Blythe sits in the auditorium waiting for her turn to speak and sees the Biskit Twins surrounded by the flimsy water bottles drinking them without effort. Blythe scrambles over to the vending machine and sees that the twins had obtained all of the water. She then sees the delivery man walking away and asks him for a bottle, which he gives on the house. As he's about to drive away, Blythe spots a warning label on his truck and snaps a picture of it on her phone. He leaves as Mrs. Twombly arrives at the school, where she hands Blythe the honey remedy. Before Mrs. Twombly drives away, Russell attempts to persuade Blythe to stick to the issues she wanted to address motivating her to run in the first place while Vinnie tries to convince Blythe to finish off the Biskit Twins. This time, Blythe chooses Russell and dashes towards the gym, where she is to give a speech.
Blythe reaches the gym in the nick of time and delivers a speech where she apologizes about losing sight of why she wanted to run, and on top of that, reveals to the school that the flimsy water bottles is owned by Biskit Enterprises and is not biodegradable at all, using the picture she took on the truck to prove her point. When she finishes and hands the podium to the Biskit Twins, the two instead leave, though not before getting drenched by their own exploding water bottles.
Blythe returns to the Littlest Pet Shop elated that although she lost, the school board has canceled the contract with Biskit Enterprises and will return the older, sturdy and biodegradable water bottles. The winner, instead, is a foreign exchange student named Reboot Election, who unintentionally won after most of the students got sick of the campaigning and wanted a fresh slate of candidates.

- Idiosyncratic Wipes: Honeycomb hexagons replace the usual pawprints in Act 3, after Russell discovers the hive.
