Chicago Star calls St. Louis a ‘perfect weekend getaway’ from the Windy City

The episode begins with Meap suspecting that his nemesis, intergalactic criminal Mitch, is staging fake treasure-hunting tours to secretly fund his galactic empire. Meap tries to warn his alien alliance, but to no luck. Then, he turns to close-knit siblings Phineas, Ferb, and Candace for help.

Together, the trio creates a fake cultural sensation known as “Stabby Barf Pain,” a festival that attempts to lure Mitch by mashing up all four seasons into one wild celebration.

Later on, Candace and Meap follow a trail of clues that leads them to St. Louis. They discover that a treasure known as “Lost Treasure of Zachariah Yore” is buried beneath the Gateway Arch.

Soon after, chaos erupts at the Arch: Meap confronts Mitch, who first kidnaps their alley Baloony. Mitch then uses his ship to pull the Arch out of the ground and attempts to steal the treasure. Candace then tricks Mitch into activating a self-destruct feature on the ship, promptly leading to his capture.

Unfortunately, the spotlight on St. Louis is limited outside of the Arch. But nonetheless, the episode still gives the city’s most famous landmark a memorable moment in animated sci-fi lore.
