(The complete plot for this South Park Episode)
Mr. Garrison's class is visited by a friendly educational mascot, Petey the S.H. Panda, who attempts to teach the kids about S.H. so as to prevent it in school. During the visit, Stan calls Cartman a bad name, and Cartman, inspired by the Panda's teaching, sues Stan for S.H.; Kyle's father, Gerald Broflovski, acts as his lawyer, and Cartman wins half of Stan's possessions. Gerald then decides to encourage Cartman (and later, others) not only to sue each other but also the teachers and the school, leading to chaos throughout the town as he gets rich. Kyle's dad quickly becomes the target of many people's wrath, while he continues to renovate their house into a mansion with his newly-gained assets. Soon afterwards the whole town is suing each other, and Gerald is taking advantage of this by being a lawyer for them all, getting more and more money from every case. And because everyone is scared of being sued, no one can stand up to Gerald.
Because the school board needs to cut costs, S.H. Panda is fired. He cannot get a new job as a panda mascot, and refuses to change his costume due to an apparently genuine belief that he is a panda. Thus, he goes to the Island of Misfit Mascots Commune, for mascots whose messages simply make no sense. One mascot kills Kenny by accident. Many mascots here also seem to believe they are the animals they're portraying. The boys, however, seeing the negative results of the lawsuits on their school, track him down and convince him to return to town with a new message. Meanwhile, Gerald is litigating the biggest S.H. lawsuit ever, Everyone v. Everyone, where he represents everyone who hires him to take on everyone else (flagrantly disregarding conflict of interest in the process).
The Panda arrives back in South Park under a new name, Petey the "Don't Sue People" Panda, and delivers a sermon on how people should not sue each other constantly because it does nothing but damage the school system, taking away money from classrooms, schools and themselves, the taxpayers. The people, realizing the sagacity of this statement, angrily cry that they should sue Gerald, who quickly agrees to file no more lawsuits about S.H. in schools or anywhere else. In the end, all the S.H. suits are dropped and Kyle's dad presumably gets away with millions of dollars.
