Everyone else in the family easily adapted to the new surrounding even Billy's younger brother Woody but Billy's fears are realized in his first moments at the new school when everybody picks on the new kid appears to be true.
Everybody picks on Billy except the tall girl Erika Tanzy whose sympathy inspires gratefulness and humiliation in Billy. Joe and his band of 5th grade followers are the school bully's they put worms in Billy's lunch, Billy surprises them all when he stands up to and embarrasses Joe. Which leads Billy and Joe to make a bet: on Saturday Billy must eat 10 worms by 7PM.
Billy's parents leave Woody in his care, Billy ask Erika to help keep an eye on Woody and some moral support in his challenge. Joe's gang makes each worm more amusingly disgusting than the last one, beginning with La Big Porker, fried in pig fat.
Joe's gang tries to force Billy to throw up by dubbing each specimen increasingly disgusting names like The Burning Fireball, The Greasy Brown Toad Bloater Special, and The Barfmallow. When the adventure finally ends all of the kids learn the true meaning of friendship and bravery.
