Cartman has been plagued by persistent nightmares about the Chinese ever since he watched the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympics on TV.
He awakens one night after yet another bad dream, and his mother tries to calm him, but Cartman comes to believe that the Chinese, with their "two billion"-person population and "advances in technology," are a growing threat to America and the world. He concludes that America will be invaded by the Chinese within days.

He concludes that America will be invaded by the Chinese within days.
The next day, Cartman goes to warn Stan, Kyle, and Kenny, but Kyle suddenly runs off. Stan later confronts Kyle about this sudden departure and Kyle states that he cannot pretend things are normal again after "the rape of a friend." He confesses his feelings of deep guilt and his regret over the fact he, Stan and their friends "just stood there and did nothing". Stan admits that he shares Kyle's feelings but that they nonetheless have to move forward with their lives. Elsewhere, Cartman finds Butters and convinces him that China is going to take over America and kill Butters' parents. Butters decides to join Cartman's group, the American Liberation Front.
Meanwhile, Cartman and Butters dress up as stereotypical Chinese children and go to P. F. Chang's to try and trick the Chinese people there into telling them when the "invasion" is set to occur. Cartman's frustration doubles upon seeing caucasian Americans working there and (in his eyes) selling out their country. The two boys' antics begin to annoy everyone, but when they are asked to leave, they instead take the entire restaurant hostage. Cartman gives Butters a gun and tells him to fire at a man who is trying to escape; Butters' shot accidentally hits the man in the crotch. An enraged Cartman yells at Butters that "shooting guys in the dick is not cool."Meanwhile, at the restaurant, Butters has now shot a SWAT officer in the crotch, who is now on the ground in pain, by which time Cartman is fed up, and abandons his mission of saving America by scapegoating Butters claiming that it was all his idea and that he doesn't want any part of "his" American Liberation Front anymore, leaving in frustration. As he is walking outside to announce his surrender, a police officer arrives to inform the others that Lucas and Spielberg are finally in custody. The officers and hostages all rejoice that "it's all over", and while everyone is hugging and crying, Cartman and Butters sneak away.
Cartman ultimately explains to Butters that seeing Butters "go crazy" has made him realize that it may be difficult or feel intimidating for Americans to witness the emergence of a new global power but that Americans need to be more accepting of the idea. He adds that he is always willing to defend his country, but not if it means shooting people in the crotch and losing his dignity. As Cartman leaves, Butters mumbles that he does not understand the big deal about Crystal Skull, as he actually thought that it was a pretty good movie.
