Chloe, a 12-year-old girl, wants to help her friend, Mr. Stink, but she does not know how. She wrote a story that her mother tore up because she wants Chloe to work at school. Chloe thinks that her mother does not love her as she loves her little sister. Chloe hides her friend in the shed and discovers that her father was a member of a rock band, called the Serpents of Doom. Chloe's mother was invited to a TV show and Chloe's parents were obliged to take Mr. Stink. Mr. Stink was the star of the show, often with people laughing at him. The people loved him so much that he was invited to come to the Prime Minister's office. The Prime Minister was horrible to Mr. Stink, saying he will be laughed at, not with. So Chloe stuck up for her friend, and they went back home, where Mr. Stink had to say goodbye and wander the streets forever.
