Plot
Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher are sitting lazily under a big tree in their backyard when they decide to construct a large roller coaster. With their mother Linda at the grocery store, their sister Candace wants to catch them in the act and "bust" them.
Candace goes to the store to tell their Mom of the boys' activity, though she is keen on neglecting it, while their neighbor and best friend Isabella Garcia-Shapiro goes up to Phineas and asks "Whatcha doin'?". Phineas and Ferb begin working on the coaster. Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus Perry performs his act as a "secret agent" codenamed Agent P, being informed by his boss Major Francis Monogram that an evil scientist named Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz has bought 80% of the Tri-State Area's tin foil. Perry darts off to investigate what Dr. Doofenshmirtz is doing.
With their rollercoaster finally finished, Phineas and Ferb unveil it to the neighborhood children, including Isabella. The children ride the rollercoaster, which twists around the city.
Doofenshmirtz, meanwhile, reveals that he is using the tin foil to cover the eastern seaboard, then using a magnet to pull it, thereby reversing the Earth's rotation with the Magnetism Magnifier. Perry fights him, but Doofenshmirtz manages to get the magnet activating. However, Doofenshmirtz soon learns that his plan is flawed because the magnet has only taken the tin foil off the eastern seaboard, forming it into a 2-ton giant ball. Seeing that it's heading forward, Doofenshmirtz and Perry attempt to separate the magnet from his machine to stop it.
Perry attempts to solve the problem by hooking the magnet to a helicopter, causing the magnet to go with it. This attempt is unsuccessful, and Doofenshmirtz and the top of his building are sent throwing away by the tin foil ball. The magnet attracts the Magnetism Magnifier, which picks up the entire rollercoaster, preventing Linda from seeing it. Perry cuts the cable, making the rollercoaster drop to the ground, then jumps into the rollercoaster while placing his hat onto Isabella to avoid blowing his cover. Phineas looks behind him and utters, "Oh, there you are, Perry." The rollercoaster reaches the broken end of the track and starts flying across the world and into space, Candace who had unsuccessfully been trying to get her mother to see the rollercoaster, makes her mother drive home to see that Phineas and Ferb are not there. However, the rollercoaster lands back on Earth and into the tree in their backyard, with the rollercoaster stuck in the tree but Phineas and Ferb fall out, leaving Linda able to see her children but not the rollercoaster. As the other children fall out of the tree, the episode ends with Isabella having a friendly conversation with the stepbrothers before returning home, as the rollercoaster explodes and the giant tin foil ball is rolling around town.

Alex went on Disney+ and searched "Phineas and Ferb" and clicked the first result that popped up and pressed play.
The episode opens up with the camera zooming into the backyard.
Phineas Flynn: So, Ferb, what do you wanna do today?
Ferb Fletcher shrugs.
Phineas: What about Perry? What does he want to do?
Perry looked around suspiciously to make sure nobody was paying attention.
Perry chatters.
Phineas: Well, he's a platypus. They don't do much. I, for one, am starting to get bored, and boredom is something up with which I will not put! The first thing they're gonna ask us when we get back to school is "what did we do over the summer?". I mean, no school for three months. Our life should be a rollercoaster! And I mean a good rollercoaster. Not like that one we rode at the state fair…
It cuts to a flashback on a rollercoaster at the state fair. It goes over one tiny hill then ends.
"That's boring." everybody said.
Fair Worker: Please exit to the left.
End of flashback.
Phineas: Man, that was lame. Why, if I built a rollercoaster, I would... He gets an idea as angelic chorus plays. That's it! I know what we're gonna do today!
Linda Flynn-Fletcher: Phineas, Ferb. I'm gonna pick up a few things. You boys stay out of trouble, okay?
Phineas: Okay, Mom. (to Ferb) We're gonna build a rollercoaster!
"That is a great idea! But don't you have to get permits and things?" Linda asked.
"We already did." Phineas said. "Unfortunately, it disappeared."
"Coincidentally." Candace grumbled.
Linda gets into the car as her daughter Candace Flynn comes over.
Candace: I'm in charge, right? You did tell them I'm in charge?
Linda: Relax, Candace, nobody has to be in charge.
Phineas and Ferb rolled their eyes. It was just like Candace to want to be in charge.
Candace: But what if there's an emergency?
Linda: Like what?
Candace: What if a... What if a satellite falls out of orbit and crashes into the house? She smiles.
"That's never going to happen." Phineas said.
Linda: If that happens, you're in charge.
Candace: Yes!
Candace (entering the backyard):
Mom says I'm in charge, conditionally.
Phineas and Ferb are working on something.
Phineas (not listening): Whatever.
Candace: Wait a minute, what are you doing?
Phineas: Homework.
"But, there's no homework in summer." Baljeet said.
"It's called a white lie, Baljeet." Phineas said.
Candace: It's summer.
Phineas: That's cool, you wait till the last minute then.
Candace: Well, I'm watching you. She goes through the door. And I'm in charge—conditionally!
Everybody except Candace groaned.
Candace walks into the house and the phone rings, which she answers.
Candace: Hello? Oh, hi, Stacy! No, I can't get to the mall right now. Mom just went to the store, she left me in charge, well, you know, conditionally.
Phineas and Ferb walk past with lots of wooden planks.
Candace: And if you go, can you see if Jeremy is there? No, no, he's the cute one that works at Mr. Slushy Burger.
Candace and Jeremy smiled.
Phineas and Ferb walk past again, with steel beams.
Candace: Yeah, he totally smiled at me the last time I was there. I just about died. No, I told you I can't, I'm watching my brother and stepbrother.
Phineas and Ferb walk past with sinks and toilets.
Candace: Yeah, and they never get into trouble, 'cause Mom never catches them. One of these days though, I'm going to see that she catches them red handed.
Phineas and Ferb walk past again, with a flamingo and a lion that roars loudly.
Candace: Will you hold it down, I am trying to use the phone! (to Stacy) Mom left me in charge, so there will be no shenanigans today. What are they doing right now? Why do you ask? What do you mean you can see it from your house? See what?!
Everybody laughed.
Candace runs out to the backyard, she stares in shock upon seeing the rollercoaster, along with horror music.
Candace: Phineas, what is this?!
Phineas: Do you like it?
Candace (getting angry): Ooh, I'm gonna tell Mom, and when she sees what you're doing, you are going down! She runs off. Down! Down! Down! D-O-W-N, down!
"No, I would ask Phineas where he got the permits from and asked if it was safe and if it was, I would leave him alone about it." Linda said.
Phineas and Ferb look blankly while she walks away.
Phineas: We're gonna need a blowtorch and some more peanut butter.
Candace takes her bicycle and rides away.
Isabella Garcia-Shapiro: Hey Candace, is Phineas... home?
Candace: Down, down, I say!
"That was weird." Isabella said bluntly.
Isabella walks into the backyard.
Isabella (hearts in her eyes): Hey, Phineas.
Phineas: Hey, Isabella.
Isabella: What'cha doin'?
Phineas: Building a roller coaster.
Isabella: In your backyard?
Phineas: Some of it.
Isabella: Wow. Isn't that kind of impossible?
"Not if it is big enough." Phineas said.
Phineas: Some might say.
Isabella: Hey, Ferb.
Ferb waves with the hammer.
Isabella: Does your stepbrother ever talk?
Phineas: Ferb? He's more of a man of action.
"Yeah he is quiet." Lawrence said.
Ferb hits the nail and then his nose.
Isabella: I was gonna go to the pool, you wanna go swimming?
Phineas: Kind of in the middle of something here.
"I don't think she was paying attention." Ferb said.
Isabella: Oh, right. Okay, I'll see you later then. She leaves.
Phineas: Okay. (to Ferb) Hey, Ferb! You got enough rivets up there?
Ferb gives a thumbs up showing they have rivets.
Phineas: Hey, where's Perry?
"Yeah, where is he?" Phineas asked suspiciously.
Perry walks around the corner of the house. He jumps up, puts on a fedora and walks into a hole in the wall. He goes down a lift, into a lair, where he gets an "Incoming Message".
Memories of what happened in the 2nd dimension started coming back for Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Doof, and Perry, as the events that happened after Phineas and Ferb came back started coming back for Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford as well.
Phineas and Isabella blushed.
Major Monogram: Good morning, Agent P. The evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz is up to his old tricks. For reasons unknown to us, he bought up 80% of the country's tin foil. I want you to get over to his hideout right away. Find out what he's up to and put a stop to it. As always Agent P, it is important that your cover identity as a mindless domestic pet remains intact. Now, get out there. We're all counting on you.
Agent P jumps into a platypus-themed hovercraft, and flies tough a tunnel. He leaves through a stone and holds his fedora down to hide from Phineas and Ferb.
Phineas: So, the way I see it, the fuel rockets kick in at the mall's parking lot, then we release the snakes during the corkscrew at the interstate. I'm gonna go get the snakes.
Ferb puts on his mask and starts using the blowtorch.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Linda asked Phineas.
"Oh, Ferb is certified." Phineas said.
Candace runs into the store.
Candace: Mom! You gotta come home, right now.
Linda: Did a satellite crash into the house?
Candace: No, no, no. You gotta see what Phineas and Ferb are doing.
Linda: Seems like we've had this conversation before.
Candace: What do you mean?
Linda: I seem to recall you telling me that the boys were training monkeys to juggle bicycles, and when I came home, there was a stunning lack of monkeys.
Candace: I still don't know how they cleaned that up so fast.
"We didn't." Phineas said.
Linda: So, what's the emergency this time?
Candace: They're building a roller coaster!
Linda: Candace, seriously, isn't Phineas a little young to be a roller coaster engineer?
"Yes. Yes, I am." Phineas said.
Phineas talks to a man in a car factory.
Factory Manager: Aren't you a little young to be a roller coaster engineer?
Phineas: Yes. Yes, I am.
Factory Manager: Well, I must say, I'm very impressed, the forms all seems to be in order, although I'd never seen them filled out in crayon before. So, if there's anything I can get you, anything at all, just let me know.
Phineas: Do you think we could borrow one of those gadgets?
A robot arm fixing a car is shown.
Everybody laughed.
Phineas and Ferb are riding the roller coaster that is built by the robot arm.
Phineas: Now, this is the life.
The camera zooms in on Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.
Agent P swings into the building.
Doofenshmirtz: Ah, Perry the Platypus, what an unexpected surprise. And by unexpected, I mean: COMPLETELY EXPECTED!
Doofenshmirtz presses a button, which activates arms that grabs Agent P.
Doofenshmirtz: I, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, have covered the entire eastern seaboard in tin foil, and when I put my giant magnet, next to my genius, Magnetism Magnifier, I will pull the East, in westerly direction, thereby reversing the rotation of the earth. You may ask yourself, why would he do this? What could he possibly have to gain? Well, let me just answer that question, I haven't really worked on all the bugs yet. I mean, tin foil alone costs a lot.
"I know, right." Phineas said.
"Yeah, what is his deal?" Ferb asked.
Perry couldn't say anything, but pointed to the screen as a way of saying "You'll see."
The camera transitions back to the store.
Candace: But, Mom, I'd tell you, they're building it, and it's huge!
Ferb puts up a poster, Candace comes over to read it.
Candace: "Phineas and Ferb present the Coolest Coaster Ever now open"? Mom! She runs off.
Pedro: Phineas and Ferb got a roller coaster? You think we get a discount if we bring the flier?
Dimitri: Maybe we better take it.
They take it with them just as Candace brings Linda over.
Candace (gesturing toward the empty post, head turned away): There, look, look, look, see? I told you I'm not crazy, I told you!
"How does a flier prove that? You're crazy." Linda said.
Linda (dryly): And you're not crazy because...?
Candace turns toward the post where the poster was and screams.
Linda: I see your point, Candace. No crazy person would scream at a post like that. I'll be at the dairy section if you wanna come yell at some cheese, or anything. She leaves.
Everybody laughed.
At the Flynn-Fletcher house, where the start of the coaster and a stage is. Ferb lets the kids into a tent and walks onto a stage up to the microphone as if he's about to speak, then steps out of the way as Phineas comes up. He grabs the microphone as disco lights shine and rock music plays.
Phineas: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! May I present to you a spectacle most of the morning in the making: The Coolest...Coaster...EVER!
Ferb reveals the coaster. A bird files into it.
Phineas: So, who wants to go first?
Everyone raises their hands.
"Not a big surprise." Linda said enthusiastically.
On the rollercoaster...
Phineas: To fasten, insert the tab into the metal buckle. To release, just pull back on the—oops.
Phineas drops the safety belt.
Phineas: Well, you get the picture. Well, that's about it. Enjoy the ride.
The car goes over the top, and stops, viewing the long drop.
Phineas: You all signed the waivers, right?
Down it goes as the car goes around the coaster, on the track. Everyone screams.
It goes through the drop of snakes.
Phineas: Relax, they're just rubber!
"Yeah we wouldn't jeopardize our guests with real-life snakes. What if somebody got bit and sued us?" Phineas pointed out.
The car goes into a bucket of mud, then exits. Later, it goes through a car wash, to be cleaned from the mud.
Phineas: Hey, look, there comes the AH-AH-AH-AH!
The track is going up and down repeatedly, creating four "AH"s.
"That looks cool." Linda said.
The car zooms around the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated building.
Doofenshmirtz: ...I really make of my money back, I-I-I want a really spacey real estate, and sell it again.
Agent P sends a screw at Doofenshmirtz, which he ducks for.
Doofenshmirtz: Ha! You missed!
The screw flies to the roof and hitting a line, which throws it back at Doofenshmirtz's foot.
Doofenshmirtz: Aaaoow! Ow, Ow, Ow, Aaooww!
Doofenshmirtz jumps around and accidentally releases Agent P, who quickly attacks him.
Agent P hits Doofenshmitz's foot.
Doofenshmirtz: Aaaoow! During the fight, Doofenshmirtz activates the Magnetism Magnifier.
Doofenshmirtz: Now you are too late! Quake in your boots and watch helplessly, as the unimaginable electromagnetic forces, pull the eastern seaboard, thereby reversing the rotation of the Ea–
All the tin foil releases from the buildings.
Doofenshmirtz: Well... that didn't work.
Everybody chuckled.
The tin foil forms into a giant ball, flying through the air.
Doofenshmirtz: And now, we have a two-ton ball of tin foil traveling 200 miles per hour directly at us! Quickly, we must separate the magnet from the Magnifier before it's too late!
Everybody laughed.
"Not the best thought out plan." Doof said.
Meanwhile, the camera cuts back to the store.
Linda: Now I know I have that club card in here somewhere. I always have it with me, but my purse is a disaster area, you know how it is.
Candace goes outside and sees the coaster.
Candace: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Mom? Mom?! She rushes off.
"Snitch." Buford said.
The camera cuts to the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated building.
Doofenshmirtz: It's no use! It's no use! We are doomed!
Agent P sees a helicopter. He jumps onto the magnet and fires a grappling hook at it. He quickly wraps some of the rope around the magnet. The helicopter flies off, taking the magnet with it.
Doofenshmirtz: You did it! You saved us, Perry the Platypus! The ball of tin foil crashes through the building. Curse you, Perry the Platypus!
"No, curse you!" Phineas exclaimed.
The magnet pulls a piece of the Magnetism Magnifier onto it, and gets stuck on the coaster, which then follows the helicopter into the sky.
"Convenient." Linda said.
Candace pulls Linda into the parking lot, not noticing the coaster has been removed.
Candace: Look, look, look, see?
Linda (with a pause): Okay, I give up, what am I supposed to be looking at?
Candace (turning to see the empty parking lot): No! It's not POSSIBLE!
Linda (going back inside): I'm gonna go get the cart.
Candace: IT WAS RIGHT HERE AND IT WAS HUGE! (sees the rollercoaster fly away) MOM!
"Things like this happen, Candace." Linda said.
Linda (walking past, taking her cart): Time to go. I've got frozens.
Candace: Okay, so you think that Phineas and Ferb are still under that stupid tree in the backyard, right?
Linda: Well, yes, that would be my guess.
Candace: Fine, then let's go home, now! She pushes the cart.
"Rather enthusiastic for a teenage girl." Monogram said.
Agent P sees that the helicopter is smoking and cuts the rope. He drops down onto the coaster and in the cart, right behind Phineas and Ferb.
Phineas: Oh, there you are, Perry.
Perry chatters.
Phineas: Nice hat, Isabella.
Isabella takes off Agent P's fedora and looks at it, confused.
"So, that's where I got it!" Isabella exclaimed.
The car goes to the end of the track and flies onto a construction area and flings into the air.
Phineas: Funny, I don't remember this in the blueprints.
An airplane picks up the car by the tail.
Phineas: And I'm sure this is new.
Everybody chuckled.
Candace sees the airplane from Linda's car.
Candace: Hehehehehehehehehehe!
"Ok, that is creepy." Linda said, creeped out.
Linda: I worry about you sometimes, Candace.
"I do!" Linda exclaimed.
The coaster car drops down and onto the Statue of Liberty, bending and throwing it to the woods. It lands on a pine tree which bends so they end up in front of Mr. Slushy Burger.
Jeremy Johnson: Welcome to Mr. Slushy Burger, may I take your order?
Phineas: Anyone want fries?
Everybody chuckled.
Before taking any orders, the tree bends back and throws them to France, Paris.
French Man: Croissant?
Phineas: Anyone want a... (French accent) "quasson"?
Everybody laughed at Phineas' French accent.
The car gets flung into orbit.
"How is that possible?" Phineas asked.
"Scientifically, it isn't possible. You would have frozen to death upon entry." Baljeet said. [1]
"Noted." Phineas said.
Singing Voice: Aahh-Aahh-Aaahhh
A satellite flies by.
Phineas: You know, if that thing crashes into earth, Candace is in charge.
Everybody chuckled.
The car suddenly falls down towards earth, towards the Tri-State area. The front of the car begins to burn like a meteor.
Phineas: We should have charged more.
"Yep, we should have. That was awesome!" Phineas exclaimed.
Linda pulls the car on the driveway and Candace jumps out.
Linda: Okay, we're here, are you happy now, Candace?
Horror music plays as Candace opens the gate to the backyard and doesn't see Phineas or Ferb.
"That was ominous." Doof said.
Candace: Yes! (to Linda) See, Mom? I told you they weren't there!
Candace opens the gate and gestures toward the tree with her eyes closed, as we hear a sound of leaves rustling. Linda pokes her head through the gate opening and smiles.
Linda: Oh, hi, boys.
Candace opens her eyes and her mood changes to shock; cut to under the tree to show Phineas and Ferb are suddenly here.
Phineas: Hi, Mom.
Linda: Come on Candace, help me with the groceries. She leaves.
Candace: But, but, but, but, but, but, but... She continues uttering the word.
"Butts are sitting, not for sassing." Linda said.
Linda (coming back to pick up Candace): Let's go. She pulls her away.
"Well, now we know how tempted Candace is to bust us." Phineas said.
Kids drop down from the tree.
Kid: Hey Phineas, that was great.
Pedro: Way too cool.
Third kid: That was awesome! Can we do it again?
Phineas: Sorry, only one ride per customer.
"That is actually a good business strategy, especially considering it's only one rollercoaster, not multiple. If only Disneyland did that." Lawrence said.
Isabella comes down from the tree.
Isabella: That was great, Phineas. So, what are you gonna do tomorrow?
Phineas: Don't know yet.
Isabella (petting Perry): Maybe you could teach Perry some tricks.
Phineas: Well, he is a platypus, they don't do much.
Ferb: They're the only mammals to lay eggs.
"Really? That's fascinating." Candace said.
A pause.
Phineas: ...Maybe he'll lay an egg.
"That would be cool." Candace said.
Isabella: Cool. See you tomorrow. She goes to the gate. It really was the coolest coaster ever. You guys make a great team.
Phineas: Well, a brother is a brother, but I couldn't have asked for a better one than Ferb. You know what I mean?
"In other words, 'brother from another mother', am I right?" Candace said.
Ferb burps rudely.
Phineas: Oh-ho-ho, man! I could smell the peanut butter!
Isabella: Well, that was impressive. See you, guys. She leaves.
It was at that moment that Phineas realized how beautiful Isabella was.
Phineas: So, what should we do tomorrow? There's a world of possibilities. Another pause. Maybe we should make a list!
The coaster car explodes in the tree, a car alarm and a dog barking can be heard.
Candace (off-screen, from inside): Mom!
Linda: (off-screen, from inside): Give it a rest, Candace!
The tin foil ball rolls in the background while Doofenshmirtz was still crushed.
Everybody chuckled.
During the credits, the song "Perry the Platypus" starts playing.
Male Singer: He's a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action
Backing scat: Dooby dooby doo-bah
Dooby dooby doo-bah
Male Singer: He's a furry little flatfoot, who'll never flinch from a fray...!
He's got more than just mad skill,
Female Singers: Wah-ah-ah
Male Singer: He's got a beaver tail and a bill
Female Singers: Ah-ah
Male Singer: And the women swoon whenever they hear him say:
Perry chatters as women faint.
Male Singer: He's Perry! Perry the Platypus!
Credits roll and screen fades to black. End of episode.
Well, that's the chapter. In the next video, we will go over the first season episode "Candace Loses Her Head".
