At the Royal Woods' Comic Book Nook, Lincoln, dressed as David Steele, reveals to the viewers that today is allowance day, and he has decided to spend his earnings on a David Steele mystery box. He explains that among the many boxes, one of them contains the rare figurine of David Steele himself (referred to as Stainless Steele) and is confident that he'll find it. After the cashier, Kara, expresses her doubts of Lincoln finding it, Lincoln proceeds to buy a box, and as to be expected, the figurine isn't that of Stainless Steele, but rather of Lackey Larry. Kara asks him if he would like to try again, but when Lincoln says he has no more money, Kara gives him the suggestions that he could borrow some money from a kingpin, just like what Lackey Larry does with Golden Toe in one issue.
Knowing a kingpin, Lincoln decides to go and ask Lola if she could lend him some money, to which Lola agrees. However, before Lincoln could obtain it, Lola tells him to sign a contract that says that he must pay her back, to which Lincoln promises to do. With the contract signed, Lincoln proceeds to use the money to buy more mystery boxes, and the more he fails, the more money he borrows from Lola. After getting nothing but figurines of Lackey Larry, Odd Bobb and Blowfish (on one instance, finding an Odd Bobb with Blowfish's dorsal fin attached as the result of a factory defect), Lincoln believes he has completely failed. Suddenly, Lincoln spots one last box, and to his happiness, it's the Stainless Steele figurine. However, his joy is quickly cut short when Lola arrives, saying that she's ready to be paid back now. Unfortunately for Lincoln, he is completely penniless, and when Lola finds out, she tells him that he can work for her to pay off his debt, and tells him he must do it in her high heels.
Now indebted to Lola, Lincoln has to do numerous tasks with her. First, Lincoln has to drive Lola to the mall in her jeep, but after swerving to avoid hitting a speeding Scoots, Lincoln ends up crashing the jeep into a fire hydrant, which Lola adds to Lincoln's debt. At the mall, Lola decides to buy a crystal teapot. Before doing so, he assigns Lincoln, carrying numerous shopping bags, to get a refund on a dress she bought from Reiningers. While heading there, Lincoln passes by the food court, and offers to take some food samples. However, when doing so, he accidentally trips on a scarf, causing him to fall onto a cart full of sauces, staining the dress Lola wanted him to return. Now unable to return the dress, and after breaking the teapot Lola just bought, Lola adds it to Lincoln's debt and tells him that he'll be working for her for "a long, long, long time." Unable to bear the thought of working for Lola as an elder, Lincoln proclaims that he must find a way out of his situation. He resorts to begging Leni, Lynn, Lucy, Lisa and Lily to let him borrow their money so he can pay off his debt to Lola. Lynn says that as much as they'd like to help, they don't have that much money. Suddenly, Leni gets the idea that all five of them combine their money together, and the others agree, but only on the condition that Lincoln pays them all back. When Lincoln promises that he will, the five give him their money.
With his debt to Lola finally paid off, Lincoln spends the next seven days completely dedicated to playing with his Stainless Steele figurine. However, unbeknownst to him, Leni, Lynn, Lucy, Lisa and Lily try to drop some not-so-subtle hints to remind him of his promise of paying them back. Because of Lincoln's negligence, the five sisters resort to confronting Lincoln to tell him that they want to be paid back. When Lincoln discovers he is (still) broke, he is forced to work for them until his debt is paid off. Now indebted to five sisters, Lincoln ends up having to put up with five times the work, like being Lynn's waterboy at roller derby, being Lisa's test subject for her experiments, filling in for Tanya at Leni's workplace, and having to rest in one of Lucy's coffins for eight hours while breathing through a straw. However, before he could commence doing Lucy's task, the other four sisters arrive and state that they need Lincoln's help. Now at his wits' end, Lincoln expresses his displeasure of having to work for them all at once. Because of this, they tell him that if he wants to stop, he should pay them back immediately. With no other options, Lincoln realizes what he must do.
Arriving back to the comic store with all the David Steele figurines he collected, Lincoln asks Kara how much she's willing to pay for it. She states that it would've been a big price... two weeks ago, as his collection is now worthless due to the set being reissued tomorrow, and the most she could offer is $12. Because of this, Lincoln accepts the deal, claiming to be a start, and cries over having to relinquish his Stainless Steele figurine. Suddenly, while wheeling away Lincoln's collection, Kara discovers the Odd Bobb with Blowfish's dorsal fin, and reveals to Lincoln that this figurine is a factory defect, the rarest of its kind, which makes it highly valuable. When Kara reveals how much she's willing to pay for it, Lincoln realizes that it's exactly the amount he needs to pay back his sisters. With all of his sisters paid back, Lincoln tells the viewers that, on top of getting to keep his Stainless Steele figurine, the lesson he learned is that you should never take loans you have no chance of paying back.

•The title card music of this episode resembles that of "Present Danger" and "Lights, Camera, Nuclear Reaction".
•The premise of this episode is similar to that of the Season 1 episode "Sound of Silence", as they both involve Lincoln having to do tasks for Lola as some form of payback.
•Unlike that episode, where Lola made Lincoln do tasks for her as revenge for trying to shut out his family, Lola told Lincoln that he was obligated to work for her in order to pay off his debt.
•This episode reveals the following:
•Lincoln collects David Steele mystery boxes, which all come with a different character inside when sold at the comic book store, and David himself is the rarest one. The most common ones, however, are Lackey Larry, Blowfish, and Odd Bobb.
•Contrary to Liam's disguise in "Present Danger", Golden Toe is not made entirely out of gold.
•Beg, Borrow and Steele - The title of this episode is a pun of the phrase "beg, borrow and steal", which means to do whatever is necessary to obtain something wanted or needed.
•Ernst Stavro Blofled - Golden Toe is depicted stroking a cat in the comic book, mirroring this James Bond villain. Lola appears doing the same thing to Cliff later in the episode.
At the comic book store, Lincoln grabs a mystery box and cashes in Lola's money before opening it and finding another Lackey Larry. He groans in disappointment and throws the figure away. Back in Lola's room, Lola opens her closet and grabs her purse, showing Lincoln more money.
