While Oolong is cooking food for Goku to eat and recover his strength, Bulma asks Oolong if there is a bathroom.

Meanwhile, back at Yamcha's Hideout, Yamcha tells Puar of a new plan to have Bulma lured out so Yamcha can easily take their House-Wagon.
In the House-Wagon, Goku starts explaining the legend behind the Dragon Balls to Oolong telling him thats why they are traveling. Outside, Yamcha and Puar sneak around and look into one of the windows only to accidentally see Bulma naked in the shower without her realizing. Afterwards, they eavesdrop through the other window where they here of the power of the Dragon Balls. At the idea of being able to free himself from his weakness to women, Yamcha decides to steal the dragon balls instead. When Bulma comes out of the shower in a towel, she yells at Oolong for giving her his pajamas that don't fit him and asks him to have her clothes cleaned in the morning.
