Grandpa Lou tells the Rugrats about Aladdin and his magic lamp, so Angelica and the other Rugrats make a wish on a real lamp.

By the time they tell Angelica, the party's over and she doesn't believe the babies.

Paul Gatsby, the creator of the Dummi Bears, comes to dinner at the Carmicheals' house. Susie thinks that every time Paul and her father, Randy (who's the head writer for the Dummi Bears) get together, Paul buys the Carmicheals' a new house. Because of this, she and the rest of the Rugrats decide to ruin the dinner so Paul will be mad and not make the Carmicheals' move.

After Susie talks about her rough experiences at camp Angelica says that she could handle that entire camp in a day. Of course she's lying and trying to make herself look good but her wish comes true when her parents enroll her in the same camp as Susie and she realizes that it's not a piece of cake.

The signs of ""Rhinoceritis"" includes a bump on a head (where ""a horn is growing in""), scaly skin (actually, scabs), and ornery behavior. Meanwhile, Drew helps Stu and Didi with their income tax, with some sound advice for those who don't file properly.

The babies, Angelica, and Grandpa have a campout outside. Grandpa tells the legend of the Satchmo, which leads to Chuckie using the restroom, and Tommy figuring out where Chuckie is. Angelica Scares them, Stu is scared to let them sleep outside because of a campout when he was 34. He calms himself down and sleeps with the kids.

Angelica, however, wants it (""Miltonia"", her new ""sister""), to herself.
