The guys are very excited about going to a screening of Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark because there are 21 seconds of additional footage being seen for the first time. When they arrive to wait in line, they're concerned about how far back in line they are and how they might not get inside. Sheldon blames the other three for various reasons as to why they didn't get there sooner. Wil Wheaton shows up and taunts the guys. He and his friends are treated like VIPs and bypass the entire line to get seats inside. When they finally let everyone in, the guys miss getting into the screening by two people and Sheldon is convinced that it's because of Wil Wheaton. Resolved that if he doesn't get to see the movie neither does Wil Wheaton, Sheldon steals the film reels and runs with the angry audience chasing after him and the other guys.

Meanwhile, Penny, Bernadette and Amy have a girls' night. They play truth or dare and Amy asks Penny that if she and Leonard are no longer dating, why does she continue to spend so much time with him? She also wants the truthful answer of how Penny would feel if Leonard started seeing another girl. Uncomfortable, Penny goes to her room where Amy tries to comfort her in her strange way.
