Blythe finds herself unable to get to the International Pet Fashion Expo due to secret sabotage from the Biskit Twins to stop her from taking part in it as a means to put the Littlest Pet Shop and Mrs. Twombly out of business against their father and the Largest Ever Pet Shop. Luckily, Mrs. Twombly gives up one of her doorknobs to use as a replacement trailer hitch for Blythe so she can still get her kiosk to the competition.
As Blythe and the pets make their way to IPFE, Russell was nervous about the photo shoot, so Zoe teaches how to do the Glamour Glare, yet Russell eventually backfires by having his facial nerve twitched.
When they pass the Biskit family limo, Brittany and Whittany, angered to see Blythe overcame their sabotage of her scooter and the Littlest Pet Shop shuttle, have their butler, Francois LeGrande, speed up to get to the expo faster and remind him of his part in the next phase of their plan to ruin Blythe and the Littlest Pet Shop at the expo.
With minutes to spare, Blythe reaches the expo and parks her kiosk at the open spot #62. However, remembering her nightmares, Blythe is very nervous and anxious. During “Won’t have to look too far”, The pets are able to calm her down and help her decorate her kiosk for the judges, while Zoe gave Russell a quick tutorial to posing.
Moments after they finish, Blythe is called away to the Africa pavilion of the expo. Puzzled, as she was supposed to go to the Moscow pavilion, she departs, but reveals a lounging area under the kiosk for the pets to relax in until the judges come. However, just moments after she left, the Biskit Twins arrive to carry out stealing the kiosk and use it as their own.
At the Africa pavilion, Blythe encounters a disguised Francois as a photographer for Mona Autumn. Even though Francois is able to lie to her about Mona's absence being due to her being late to the photoshoot, Blythe is still suspicious. Meanwhile, Vinnie and Sunil leave the kiosk, but once they do, the Biskit Twins make their move and steal it with Zoe, Minka, Penny, and Pepper still inside. And even worse, Minka begins succumbing to her claustrophobia. Seeing Brittany and Whittany stealing the kiosk, Vinnie and Sunil decided tail them.
Russell was doing a photoshoot from Francois, as Blythe tells him what he's doing. She then got a call from Mona, demanding to know where she is. Mona's been waiting at the Moscow pavilion for her ,and Blythe tries to explain the situation to her, not noticing Francois making himself scarce before Blythe figures out the deception. After Mona hangs up before Blythe can fully explain the situation to her, Blythe hurries to the Moscow pavilion to apologize in person, but Mona is still upset due to Blythe's tardiness and departs to her next appointment.
The Biskit Twins stashed Blythe's kiosk in a storage closet just so they can retrieve it later. Vinnie and Sunil found said closet, but they’re unable to get under the door to help the girls. They decided to find the P.A. announcer where, in the process, they find Delilah on the top of the Big Ben replica, who offers to help lead them to the room where the announcer is.
Blythe returns to find her kiosk gone, but a trail of Penny's bamboo snacks that Russell finds leads them to where the trail goes cold at an intersection, where Blythe runs into her friends and laments her situation to them.
Vinnie, Sunil, and Delilah are able to locate the announcer's room, and while Delilah lures the announcer away. Due to Sunil getting too nervous to do it himself, Vinnie took over the mic and told Blythe to head to the storage room to find her kiosk. Meeting up with her and Russell, they open the closet to find that the kiosk is already gone.
Brittany and Whittany had already taken it to their spot #18 and covered up Blythe's "Blythe Style" logo with their own, crudely-made one. When Mona and the judges show up, the Biskit Twins do their best to explain the clothing styles to them, but while they do, Blythe sees them on the expo's overhead screens, and furious upon realizing the Biskit Twins were responsible for trying to sabotage her efforts to be in the expo, Blythe heads over to spot #18 to expose them, interrupting Mona just as she was about to award the "Best In Show" First Place ribbon to them and accusing the Biskit Twins of stealing her kiosk. Brittany and Whittany try to deny it, but when Blythe shows off the clothes, and how she visited those locations in person to get the inspiration, the final nail in the coffin for the Biskit Twins and their scheme came when Blythe reveals the girls inside the kiosk, and a berserk Minka, pushed to her breaking point from her claustrophobia, lashes out and attacks the Biskit Twins in her frenzy before calming down and walking nonchalantly away with a smug smile on her face for teaching the twins a lesson. Blythe then embraced the girl pets as soon as it's all said and done.
On top of that, Francois, out of shame and guilt for his part in their scheme, steps forward and reveals himself to everyone, admitting his loyalty to the Biskit Family as a 17th generation butler to them took precedence, but his family holds honesty above all else, and confesses his part in their plan, and shows the photos he took of Russell to Mona. Furious over his betrayal, Brittany and Whittany fired him, but Mona decides to hire him instead as his photos of Russell are perfect for her magazine. When Blythe then mentions the threat of Mr. Biskit opening another Largest Ever Pet Shop, Mona laughs it off, revealing that he only does that to intimidate his competitors and never follows through on the threat, before seeing that his rotten apple skills were passed on to the Biskit Twins, who hang their heads in shame and defeat. With everything she's been shown today, Mona awards the "Best In Show" First Place to Blythe, as her friends and father join her in the celebration.
Later on, while the pets suit up in their costumes, Zoe was definitively impressed to Russell having to used his "splendid" charm at the photoshoot. Blythe, having wheeled the kiosk to a more open spot of the expo, has them come out to show their outfits off to Francois and Mona's photographer, and one of the photos makes it onto the cover of Mona's magazine, thus Blythe's dreams came true and ensured the popularity of Littlest Pet Shop would improve for the better.
