The episode follows Ollie the Octopus, a private eye in Baltimore, through a day where he anticipates chaos but experiences mundane activities. He starts by making coffee in a travel mug, expecting something to come up, but instead has a quiet breakfast of cinnamon raisin oatmeal. Ollie then does filing and paperwork at his desk, feeling bored. He calls his friend Wally, who casually mentions having demons contained in a glass jar as part of an experiment, but doesn't need help. Ollie goes for a walk in Weyman Park Dell, where a chocolate lab named Baxter runs past him without incident. His phone rings with a spam call about property sales in Charles Village, frustrating him. He tries calling Harry the Hawk but gets a voicemail saying Harry doesn't check messages. Bored, Ollie decides to exercise, using a log in a woodsy area to do pull-ups and bench presses for an hour. He then practices his octopus camouflage on a tree, changing his color, pattern, and skin texture to blend in. His friend Marjorie walks by, and he surprises her by speaking while camouflaged; she compliments his disguise. Ollie expresses his unease to Marjorie, noting that he usually can't get through noon without a giant monster attack or haunted house call, but today nothing is happening. Marjorie suggests it's just a normal day, and they decide to get coffee together, concluding the story.
