- The guys camp out all night waiting to see an extended cut of Indiana Jones, while Amy joins in on girls' night with Penny and Bernadette.
- Leonard, Sheldon, Howard, Raj and Amy are planning to go a see a special screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) with 21-seconds of previously unseen footage which, from what Leonard hears, solves some major controversies about the 21-second shorter version. Penny - after just having watched the movie for the first time in her life - has no interest in seeing it again with the 21-seconds, so she and Bernadette decide to have a girls night. Since she's a girl, Amy decides to crash the girls' party instead of going with the guys, which places the girls night in a whole different dimension, until they decide to play Truth or Dare. Meanwhile, Sheldon wants to leave to get to the cinema at five o'clock for the midnight screening, instead of having a leisurely dinner beforehand at the Cheesecake Factory. When they arrive at the cinema when Leonard, Howard and Raj want to get there, Sheldon gives them a big "I told you so" when they find the line-up is enormous. Sheldon does whatever he can to see the movie or else. His goal is even more focused when his arch nemesis Wil Wheaton receives special treatment to get into the screening.—Huggo
- The gang is watching Raiders of the Lost Ark at Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, and everyone is enjoying it, even Penny, who wants to know how Indiana Jones got so good with the whip if he was an archaeologist. The guys are going to the upcoming midnight showing of the movie, complete with twenty-one extra seconds of footage which will explain the submarine controversy. Leonard cannot believe she had never seen Raiders until now. Penny retorts that she cannot believe that Leonard has never read Eat, Pray, Love. Raj has read it and it changed his life.
At the Cheesecake Factory on the day of the showing, Sheldon is panicking the movie is only seven hours away and they have to get in line. After Howard mocks Sheldon, he feels that as his roommate, Leonard should back him up. When Leonard fails to help, Sheldon wonders what happened to the Leonard Hofstadter who waited in line with him for fourteen hours to see the midnight premiere of Star Trek: Nemesis. Leonard replies that he waited for the whole fourteen hours as Sheldon napped; that he got into a fight with a Klingon and, worst of all, they had to watch the terrible movie. Amy tries to be more accepted in his social group by agreeing with everybody else. After Bernadette gets cute with Howard, she mentions her girl's night with Penny. Amy tells her that she is a girl too and proceeds to get herself invited. She feels that she and Penny are best friends and Penny nonchalantly agrees, though she has to go shopping for something comfortable to wear.
As it turns out, Sheldon was right and the line is ridiculously long. To make matters worse, Wil Wheaton, "the Jar-Jar Binks of the Star Trek universe", shows up with his friends from the comic book store. The bouncer is a big fan and he immediately let them into the theater.
At Penny's apartment, Amy is describing her unusually firm cervix and a tilted uterus, as she does not quite understand the concept of "girl talk". As Penny shows Bernadette her new manicure, Amy starts talking about her friend's thesis on the fungus that grows on manicure implement. Penny reaches for the next bottle of wine. Bernadette suggests they'll have to make it a slumber party. Amy adds that they'll do makeovers, initiate phony phone calls, and "have spirited pillow fights in our frilly nighties!" Penny reluctantly agrees and immediately gets a pillow in the face from Amy.
Back in line at the cinema, Sheldon reads Wil Wheaton's tweet: "Best seats in the house for "Raiders" screening. Suck on that, Sheldon Cooper." Then he gets a call on his phone to test its quality using test phrases. "Imatote. Ulbu. Twad. All together? 'I'm a total butt-wad.' Why are you laughing?" It was Penny making a phony phone call.
Later, she gives Amy a manicure which makes her nails look prettier than they have ever been. Then she makes her take it off. The next game is "Truth or Dare". Amy asks Bernadette a question about killing bacteria in beef followed by asking her the circumference of her Areolas.
The bouncer cuts the guys off just as they reach the theater, and sends everybody else home. Sheldon starts complaining until he sees an open door at the side, and runs in, stealing the movie print from the unguarded projection room: "If I can't see it, no one else can see it." Wil Wheaton finds Sheldon in his act of thievery and he leads the whole theater after Sheldon and the guys reminiscent of Indiana Jones' race to his pontoon plane in Raiders with appropriate background music.
Amy is finishing telling "The Miller's Tale" by Chaucer in the original Middle English which was the dirtiest story she knew. Bernadette had dared her to tell one. Bernadette then asks Penny why she hangs out with Leonard even though they broke up. Penny explains that just because they're not seeing each other anymore doesn't mean we can't be friends. He got too serious and she wasn't ready for it. Then they ask her if she is ready for it in the future how she feel if she was with someone else since he is "a great guy"; however, Amy and Bernadette have gone too far. Penny doesn't want to play the game anymore and leaves, upset. Amy thinks that they've won the game.
Much later, Amy wants to find another game since Penny is still upset. Her list includes eating raw cookie dough or experimental lesbianism. Amy enters Penny's bedroom as Penny first greets and then screams asking her, "What are you doing?". Bernadette thinks skipping to eating raw cookie dough was a better option.
Title reference: Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, and Howard are excited to see a print of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which includes 21 seconds of never-before-released footage.
