The contest challenges participants to lay the most eggs in a limited time frame. The grand prize is awarded to the person who lays the most eggs in the shortest amount of time.
However, things take an unexpected turn when Ed accidentally sits on the eggs, hoping to incubate them quickly.

Eddy, who is known for his schemes, comes up with a new plan to win the contest by using an egg-laying machine.
Double D is hesitant about Eddy's plan, questioning its legality, but eventually, he gives in to his friends' eagerness. Eddy designs and builds the machine, and Ed is the test subject. The machine is so impressive that it can lay several eggs simultaneously, leading the friends to have high hopes of winning the grand prize. As Ed lays eggs, Eddy and Double D collect them and place them in their cart.
However, things start to descend into chaos when the egg-laying machine doesn't stop, and Ed continues to lay eggs uncontrollably. At this point, Eddy realizes that they've made a grave miscalculation and will lose all the eggs laid after the contest ends. Eddy and Double D scrambled to get the eggs to the judges before the time runs out.

When they finally arrive at the event, they realize the unfortunate reality that they are too late. The contest has already ended, and they have missed the opportunity to win the grand prize. In desperation, Eddy suggests that they bribe the judges with scrambled eggs. They prepare the eggs and offer them to the judges, hoping to lure them to award them the grand prize.
