<P> Fortunately for George , he 's been chosen to host the Summer Floraganza , a long awaited summer event . He has been growing and nurturing a rare night - blooming orchid for about forty years especially for it . Despite the investment , the flower dies shortly after it blooms . Alice 's flight is delayed due to a thunderstorm forcing Dennis to stay with the Wilsons for the night of the party . Martha is understanding , but George is deeply dismayed about this . But , at her insistence , he eventually agrees to let Dennis stay outside for the party only with a firm warning to behave himself . He does n't enjoy it much because the guests pinch his cheeks , so he distances himself from them . However , in his curiosity , he finds himself pushing the garage door button , causing it to open , knock over the dessert table , and make a huge mess . George sees it and angrily bans Dennis from the party . Whilst inside , Dennis hears Switchblade Sam robbing the house , then goes downstairs and finds George 's gold coins missing from the safe . Just as the flower is about to bloom , he alerts George of the robbery , distracting everyone just long enough to miss the flower 's brief blooming span . Furious about his forty year investment gone to waste and the constant mishaps Dennis has caused ( as well as knowing nothing about the robbery ) , George uproots the plant and severely scolds Dennis by telling him that he is selfish and spoiled , that he has no use for him , that the flower blooming meant more to George than Dennis ever will , and that he does not want to see or know Dennis anymore before telling his guests to leave . Heartbroken , Dennis flees on his bike , and rides off into the night . He then heads into the woods , where he eventually bumps into Sam , who abducts him , intending to use him as a hostage . </P>
