Plot

Mr. Garrison takes the fourth grade class on an educational field trip to Pioneer Village where dedicated workers act as their counterparts from 1864 and never break character. Mr. Garrison tells the students to move in pairs and hold hands. Stan and Wendy match up and Stan admits to them dating once again. Cartman tries to pair up with Kenny, who chooses Craig, and Kyle who (naturally) does not want to be paired with him (and picks Jimmy instead). Cartman is forced to take Butters as his partner and Mr. Garrison tells Butters not to let go of Cartman's hand until they were both back on the bus.

Cartman forces Butters to ditch the field trip and go to the amusement center located two blocks away, Super Phun Thyme. Butters refuses to let go of Cartman's hand, and they are forced to cooperate until back on the bus. While the rest of the kids are bored in the village, a group of trigger-happy thieves led by a man called Franz (who is very similar to that of Hans Gruber from Die Hard) have robbed a Burger King and fled to Pioneer Village, taking everyone hostage. Stan, Wendy, Jimmy and Kyle flee with two townspeople to an office where Kyle calls the police. The thieves find a mine shaft door in the back of the park that is locked. They start to interrogate the workers to find the code to the lock, but none of them will break character, not even to save their own lives. Pioneer Paul is forced to shoot one of the townsfolk for breaking character in the attempt to give the lock code.

Meanwhile, Cartman and Butters are at "Super Phun Thyme", and Butters still won't let go of Cartman's hand. This leads to Butters sullenly being dragged around as Cartman plays arcade games, rides bumper cars, plays Air hockey, and rides a coin-operated motorcycle. They attempt to sneak back in but become stuck on a traffic light. By then, seeing that interrogating the workers isn't going to work, Franz threatens to kill the kids instead, starting with Kenny, but the workers still refuse to break character. In a last ditch effort to save Kenny's life, Stan makes "the ultimate sacrifice" (which, as Wendy later playfully remarks, makes him sound like a dork) and assumes a disguise portraying an out of towner and manages to give the workers an in-character way to divulge the door code, 1864.

Cartman and Butters jump the fence into the village, where one of the thieves sees and attacks them. In an attempt to capture the two he tries to make them put their hands on their heads. A very dedicated Butters simply will not let go. Upon threatening to shoot their hands off Butters uses Cartman as a weapon, bodily flinging him at the robber, and running away. Cartman and Butters, in their attempt to flee, are knocked out by a grenade. The confusion allows the police to raid the camp, killing and capturing some of the thieves. Finally a bell rings, signaling the end of the work day, and all of the village workers break character, revealing to everyone of an efficient evacuation route through the stables and then head off to T.G.I. Friday's for some jalapeño poppers. As Franz is being arrested, he "learns something", that people in 1864 didn't have the conveniences that people in modern times take for granted. The episode ends as Butters drags an unconscious Cartman all the way back into the school bus, firmly stating, "Teacher, my partner is back on the bus", finally letting go of his hand before passing out from exhaustion.
