[edit] Plot summary

Deputy Dangerous and Danger Dog plan to gain super powers by draining them out of Captain Underpants, using the Deputy's "Super Power Taker-Awayer Ray 2000 TM". When Dangerous is about to drink the juice, the police arrive. However, Danger Dog had drank half of the juice and the two escape.

Meanwhile, Mary Hoskins gives birth to a boy and the doctor has to give him the spank of life. The spanking accidentally shoots the baby out of the window, and the baby lands in the bucket of super power juice that Deputy Dangerous was stealing. The baby drinks the juice, causing him to gain super powers. Dangerous tells the baby to "give him the juice back", but the baby doesn't respond, instead beating Dangerous up. A nurse appears and gives the baby a diaper. The baby then flies up to the ward where he was born. His father, Bill Hoskins, names the baby Billy, and the family return home. Deputy Dangerous and Danger Dog, however, are arrested.

Due to Danger Dog's super powers, the duo escapes and heads to a secret lab. Deputy Dangerous then invents the "Danger Crib 2000", a crib that can zap super powers from babies and transport them to the user via satellite. They send it to the Hoskins family under the pseudonyms "Deputy Un-Dangerous" and "Safety Dog". That night, Deputy Dangerous gets ready to gain the super powers. But then, Billy unknowingly poops in his diaper one minute before the transmitting time (Midnight). Mary appears and takes Billy out of the crib just in time, so she could bathe him, which causes the poop to be transported over to Deputy Dangerous, turning him into a piece of poop. Danger Dog, who finds this hilarious, coins the name "Deputy Doo-Doo."

The next morning, Deputy Doo-Doo invents the "Robo-Ant 2000" so he can take over the world. However, Danger Dog instead goofs off by switching signs around. Billy hears from the robot, and decides to stop it. Billy is defeated by Doo-Doo and is taken to a Nuclear Power Plant to kill him. Danger Dog saves Billy, while the Ant loses balance and falls into the power plant instead.

Danger Dog then takes Billy home. Bill and Mary consider keeping "Safety Dog" as a pet, but the Landlord disagrees, saying that Danger Dog might stain the carpet. Bill and Mary then ask the Landlord that Danger Dog might wear a diaper, and the Landlord changes his mind. Danger Dog changes his name to Diaper Dog, and becomes part of the family.

Meanwhile, back at the power plant, radioactivity causes Deputy Doo-Doo to grow into a giant, and he resumes his rampage through the city. Super Diaper Baby and Diaper Dog fly out to stop him, but Diaper Dog notes that they shouldn't touch the now-radioactive Deputy Doo-Doo. Instead, they trick him to attack himself, and they eventually wrap him up using a giant toilet paper roll (taken from the top of a building), and dispose of him at the planet Uranus.

On the way back to Earth, they stop by at a Starbutts, where they discover that they offer super power juice. They decide to take some back to Earth, and they go to the laundromat where Captain Underpants is still captured. They restore his powers, and all is right with the world.
