Plot[]

The episode begins at a company picnic hosted by the Action League, where The Chief is about to eat a hot dog. Meanwhile, The Flesh, Thundergirl, Stinky, and Meltman are about to start a three-legged race. As The Flesh takes the first step, he accidentally kicks Stinky into the air, causing him to land in The Chief's hot dog bun and lodge the wiener into The Chief's throat. When The Chief begins choking, Stinky thinks he wants to play charades. The Flesh, Thundergirl, and Meltman join in, but when The Chief says that he's choking, Stinky tells the rest of the League that The Chief isn't playing games at all. The Flesh tries to help by smacking him on the back, but all it does is launch The Chief into a table and hurt him. Just then, a helicopter appears and, by using ropes, a team of experienced heroes climb down. Their leader gives The Chief the Heimlich maneuver and The Chief coughs his wiener out at Thundergirl. The leader then tells The Chief to chew more carefully next time. As he and his team prepare to leave, Stinky asks who they are, and they tell them that they are the Danger Society, the town's newest superheroes.

With the Danger Society handling superhero duties, the League decides to take some time off by playing pool. Thundergirl asks the others why the Action Phone hasn't been ringing much lately, and Meltman thinks it's because they've done a good job making the world a safe place. The Flesh hits the cue ball, which accidentally knocks Meltman over and hits an approaching car. Sure enough, the Danger Society shows up to help the injured driver. The Chief shows up and tells the League that he's just gotten a call from his boss, saying that they're laid off because the Danger Society is taking over. At first, the League is excited not to have to work anymore, but The Chief tells them that no work means no more free lunch at the Action Commissary. The League, caring more about free lunch, decides to do something about the Danger Society.

Moments later at the Danger Society's crisis center, Stinky tells them that their fun's over, as they'll be shutting them down. He then pounds the Danger Society's control panel with his spear gun, causing it to fire a spear into the air. Next, the leader asks Stinky what his problem is, and Meltman tells them that the Action League are the superheroes in this territory and they should take a hike. Just then, Stinky's spear lands on his head, causing the leader to ask him if he's sure they're real superheroes. Thundergirl tries to prove it by flying into the air, but her head gets cut off by the Danger Society's helicopter blades and lands on the Danger Society's control panel as an alarm goes off. One of the members tells the leader that some school kids are in danger. The Danger Society is about to leave, but The Flesh is blocking the leader's way, making him tell The Flesh that he has no time to argue, as lives are at stake. Meltman has an idea; they both go, and whoever can save the most people will officially become the town's new superheroes (and the losers must leave town for good). At first, the leader says that the two teams can't gamble with human lives as the Leagues call them chickens. The leader then agrees to this bet, as long as they both hurry. The Narrator asks the viewers of this is the League's last hurrah or if we're stuck with them forever, then tells them to stay tuned for part two.

In the second act, the school bus can be seen teetering above a TV antenna. Both the Action League and the Danger Society arrive, but the League cowers out. Thundergirl tries to convince the Danger Society to join them for Sloppy Joe Day at the Commissary, but the Danger Society immediately leaps into action to save the school kids. Meltman wonders if they should have mentioned the new salad bar.

Moments later, the unfortunate losers happen to be the League, who now sit on the curb for the next bus out of town. Now that Stinky's no longer a member, he worries that he's going to have to pump septic tanks with his father for a job. A sobbing Meltman then says that his power to melt is a joke. Thundergirl tells him to stop whining, as he's giving her a migraine, but he tells her that thunder doesn't fly. After rescuing the kids, the Danger Society lands their helicopter in front of the League and asks them what made them think they could be superheroes in the first place. As they mock the League, they don't count on the fact that they have landed in the path of the oncoming bus, which runs over the helicopter with them still inside and smashes it to pieces. Stinky then tells the flattened Danger Society that they're super lucky. With the Danger Society flattened, by technicality, the League is back in business. Stinky asks the rest of the League who's up for free lunch, and they all cheer in approval as the episode concludes.
