Episode Summary: B-Movie

Lightning McQueen and Mater accidentally stumble upon a film set in Rustville, where a sci-fi zombie film is being shot under the direction of filmmaker Bella Cadavre.

An assistant spots Lightning and insists on hiring him as deputy sheriff, as the previous actor was not convincing. Lightning's acting and lines are far from perfect. When Mater tries to comfort him, Bella in turn offers him a small role: Mater turns out to be very funny and gets the role of a scientist, then that of the president.

The next day, Lightning apologizes and they both decide to continue filming — only to learn that the film has been completely shut down as it was deemed catastrophic, and will be transformed into a high-end musical comedy.

They then briefly meet Ivy, spotted at the circus, who is given her big break as the star of the film. As they leave Rustville, Lightning asks Mater for the presidential speech he was supposed to write himself: Mater delivers it, and it's much better than Lightning imagined.
