The story concerns Kyle Broflovski's belief that his mother is having an affair with a UPS delivery man. When public suspicion falls upon the delivery man, package delivery to the neighborhood is threatened, and Eric Cartman purchases a home security system in response.[1]
Plot
After watching a commercial for Cialis, Gerald dresses up as a UPS delivery man in order to engage in sexual roleplay with his wife, Sheila. Ike sees this and is confused, thinking his mother is having an affair with a real delivery man. He draws a picture and tearfully shows Kyle, who also believes the affair is real. Soon, all the kids and men in town, led by Randy, are under the impression that UPS delivery men are sleeping with all the women in South Park.
An old man at Skeeter's Bar convinces the men that the convenience of ordering products online as brought this situation upon them, relating the UPS delivery men to milk men of the 20th century. He goes on to explain that women often arrange for delivery of products they don't even remember ordering. Suspicious, Randy observes Sharon do just that when receiving an order for some paring knives and a book from Amazon. Cartman is concerned for his own mother as well, and decides to have a home security system installed so that his mother won't get raped. Almost immediately he triggers it by mistake, and can't remember the code to disable it. A Wolf Home Security representative calls to verify the alarm, and Cartman is upset with his flippant attitude. Later, Cartman tests his security system by simulating a break-in, and is again disappointed with the company's response.
Meanwhile, the men return to the old man at the bar to ask what they can do. He tells them the only way to solve the problem is to kill the delivery man and start going to stores to purchase products, as his generation had done with the milk man.

As a result, Cartman and the men kidnap the saleman wearing Bane masks.
