Peter is annoyed by his friend Mort Goldman constantly borrowing his personal belongings, and eventually decides to create a "Scare-Jew", using his suit, which depicts Adolf Hitler in an attempt to keep Mort away from his house, which works later on. Frustrated, Lois takes him to a clothing store to get a new suit, where Peter finds some flannel pajamas. While wearing them, he suddenly notices that he can shock people with static electricity by rubbing his feet on the carpet. Annoyed by this, Lois asks Quagmire to completely remove the carpet, which leads the family to find an antique 18th century Rhode Island ship token, hidden under the carpet, which the family sells for $50,000. With the money, Peter and Lois decide to live their dream of owning a restaurant, naming it "Big Pete's House of Munch".
