As with any other episode of South Park, the show revolves around a major plot point, while commentary on current events, politics, and social issues is weaved in with slapstick comedy.

In this episode, the town's school is set to be demolished to make way for a new state-of-the-art athletic store.

But their peaceful protest takes an unexpected turn when they discover that there is something fishy going on in the store, with the employees behaving oddly and the security guards looking sinister.

Enter Towelie, the eponymous character of the episode. Towelie is a sentient towel, created by the Tynacorp Corporation, who is addicted to getting high.

As the townsfolk inch closer to the truth, Towelie comes into his own, growing beyond his excesses and becoming an unexpected hero. In the end, the townspeople discover that the store's employees are part of a government plot to control the minds of the town's children using high-tech equipment in the store's basement. With the help of Towelie, the townsfolk save the day, preventing the government from achieving its nefarious objectives.

As always, the episode is rife with comedic punchlines, social commentary, and topical comedy.
