The plot follows Peter deciding to become physically fit after he's attacked by an octopus at an aquarium; however, Peter ends up in the hospital after attempting to impress former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Depressed at the prospect of becoming old, Peter is taken out by Clinton, thus giving him a new outlook on life; however, Lois is displeased by this as she believes Clinton to be a bad influence on Peter. Both Lois and Peter end up sleeping with Clinton, despite not originally intending to.

The episode featured guest performances by Barclay DeVeau, Roy Scheider and Wally Wingert, along with several recurring guest voice actors for the series.
After being attacked by an octopus at the aquarium, Peter decides to become physically fit. After spending a mere fifteen minutes at the gym, Peter believes he is now fit, so when former U.S. President Bill Clinton's car breaks down outside their house, he attempts to lift it without a jack, which results in him getting a sudden severe hernia and being hospitalized. Depressed at the concept of becoming old, he confides in Clinton, who tells him age is a state of mind. When Peter recovers, Bill takes him out to help him realize he can still have fun. They become best friends and spend a lot of time together, but things start to get out of hand when they start smoking marijuana and cause mischief while high on it.
