The globs start chasing George, Harold, Sulu, Melvin and Mr Krupp. They reach a dead end, but where Sulu spits them out into outer space. After a number of incidents, George and Harold discover the body mix-up. Since it would take Melvin six months to build another machine, George suggests going back in time, which makes Melvin snap his fingers, causing Mr. Krupp to turn into Captain Underpants and fly away. George and Harold are forced to tell the secret and Melvin orders them to create a comic about him, telling them to give him a cool name and to not make him look stupid, before setting to build. The next day, Melvin is furious that George and Harold's comic is not what he asked for (they claim to have thought he said to give him a stupid name and to not make him look cool), but soon explains to them that if the machine's used two days in a row, something will place the world in a catastrophe. He also gives them the "Forgetchamacallit 2000", a machine to erase one's short-term memory. As well as a decoy Combine-O-Tron 2000. George and Harold decide to travel two days back to get to Melvin's Combine-O-Tron 2000. They succeed, however, Miss Singerbrains steals the machines and takes them to the police station.
However, the boys end up in the Cretaceous period and get a Quetzalcoatlus, who they nickname "Crackers". The two go to when Singerbrains is driving to the police station. George convinces her she is dreaming because of "the dinosaur's presence", etc. Harold sends Crackers back, then they erase her memory, get the Combine-O-Tron and travel to the present. Meanwhile, Captain Underpants is helping two old ladies cross the street. He successfully rescues a cat from a tree at the same time, but accidentally leaves the ladies up there. Then he costs the Purple Dragon Sing-A-Long friends their big game when he mistakes their ball for a UFO. They, and other victims of him, including Anthrope, form an angry mob. Melvin finds Captain Underpants and switches them another back.
In space, the boogers land on a spaceship, hanging on as it returns to Earth, before they start destroying the space center. Captain Underpants goes off to help, but discovers that his powers were taken by Melvin, who refuses to help unless George and Harold change the comic. Captain Underpants and the boys are cornered at a local store and starts throwing random items stacked outside. By chance, Carl is killed upon swallowing an orange. The other boogers become cautious, but Captain Underpants makes a deliberately annoying "Underpants Dance", making them climb up his chosen building, right into a well-placed orange-made Squishy.
Soon, Melvin, under the name Big Melvin, lies to the Eyewitness News crew (including spanking Captain Underpants) while George and Harold sneak back to school, returning with the machines. Captain Underpants gets his powers back, then the crew and audience's memories are erased. The angry mob find Melvin (who no longer has superpowers) and chase him in retribution. When the boys return to their clubhouse, George finds out that Harold didn't really send Crackers back and had left her with Sulu. However, George decides that she can stay in the present for just one night, but she'll have to return the next day. But the next day, when George, Harold and Sulu are ready to take Crackers back where she belongs, the time machine malfunctions.
