Alvin, who slept in the attic, imagines he now lives in a fancy penthouse. He shows this off to Hidalgo on an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich & Reclusive. Alvin shows Hidalgo neat aspects of his celebrity lifestyle such as an artificial ski slope and a pool that generates waves big enough for surfing. The show is interrupted by battalions of angry rebels who have no electric power for their homes as Alvin is such an energy hog. Among the rebels are Simon, Theodore and Dave, who chop down a tree that falls onto the power lines, disrupting the power and causing Alvin's penthouse to overload forcing him to hang on for dear life.
