Plot[]
The movie starts in Bob the Tomato's house. He greets the viewers, but after introducing himself, he notices that Larry the Cucumber is a little late, so he asks him what's taking him so long. In Bob's bathroom, Larry tells him he's almost done. Larry hops out in his LarryBoy costume, then introduces himself to the viewers, before drinking a box of apple juice. Bob asks the viewers if they remember LarryBoy, but gets shocked to learn that they don't. Bob reminds them all the shows LarryBoy has appeared. LarryBoy tells the viewers that he likes his adventures thrilling, and his juice boxes shaking. He then says it's his job to protect Bumblyburg from super villains, and says he looks super handsome when he does it, which is because he's a super duper cucumber. After asking Bob for a drum roll, he begins singing "I'm a Super-Duper Cucumber!" During the song, Bob thinks he hears something outside. He begins to think there's something spying on LarryBoy. LarryBoy tells the viewers that when you're a superhero, you have to be extra careful because you never know what super villains might be lurking around. Unbeknownst to him, there IS a super villain lurking outside Bob's house, and it's Mr. Nezzer! LarryBoy thinks the coast is clear and says he's sure because he's a super duper cucumber. After the song, Bob tells LarryBoy that he thinks someone is spying on him, but LarryBoy tells him he doesn't see anyone. Bob tells the viewers Percy Pea's birthday is 3 days away, and almost everyone is invited. LarryBoy tells Bob that he's off to his headquarters for his next assignment. Before he leaves, Bob says "Good luck on your mission, buddy, but please be careful!"
Outside of Bob's house, LarryBoy hops aboard the Larry Mobile and starts driving to headquarters. During the drive, he says to the viewers, "Check this out". He presses a button, and a robotic arm shakes his juice box, then another puts a straw in it, before giving it LarryBoy who says "Shaken". As he continues to drive, he enters the neighborhood where Junior Asparagus and his friends live. He slowly passes Junior's house and asks him how it's going with him telling the truth instead of lying. Junior tells him it's good and that he hopes he never gets stuck in a fib ever again. His parents tell him they hope so too. LarryBoy then passes by Laura Carrot's house and asks her how it's going on spreading hard facts instead of rumors. Laura answers "Great. Thanks". As LarryBoy passes Percy Pea's house, he says to him, "Happy 3 days until your birthday". All of a sudden, LarryBoy's phone rings. He answers and says "Hello, LarryBoy here". The call is from his butler, Alfred, (once again played by Archibald Asparagus) along with his love interest, Petunia Rhubarb Alfred asks LarryBoy to report to headquarters because he and Petunia have got an assignment for him. LarryBoy asks them if BumblyBurg's in trouble again, and they tell him it is. LarryBoy asks them if the assignment will involve dancing, and they say yes. After the call, LarryBoy takes a sharp turn, passing Officer Scooter's car. LarryBoy pushes another button, and as the Larry Mobile jumps groud, it turns into a jet ski, then goes across the water towards the Larry-Cave. Meanwhile, on the beach, Mr. Nezzer looks through his binoculars and sees LarryBoy driving towards his cave, then laughs as if he was ready for his evil plan.
At the Larry Cave, LarryBoy arrives in the elevator, hops to the table, and meets Alfred and Petunia. Alfred says "Hello, LarryBoy", while Petunia tells him that they didn't expect him to come this soon. LarryBoy reminds the duo what he always says, "Always expect the unexpected". After Alfred gives LarryBoy a juice box, Petunia tells him that Bumblyburg is once again in grave danger. They show him a picture of Mr. Nezzer, who's the most super-duper villain in the whole town. LarryBoy asks Alfred what Nezzer's up to this time. Alfred tells him that Nezzer is after 5 very important secret cases. LarryBoy asks Alfred and Petunia what's in each case. Petunia tells him that they don't know, but she tells him that they're for Percy's birthday, and it's up to him to get them before Nezzer does. Alfred tells LarryBoy that they don't know what Nezzer plans to do with them, but if he has a plan, it's always a recipe for disaster. Petunia then tells LarryBoy that after he finds all 5 cases, he must bring them to Percy and put the ingredients that are in them together. LarryBoy asks Alfred and Petunia how he's gonna find each case. Alfred tells him that he and Petunia want him to go to a pub by the Bumblyburg clock tower. When he gets there, he'll receive his instructions from his secret contacts, and they're Jimmy and Jerry Gourd. Petunia then tells LarryBoy to make sure he orders a banana split. LarryBoy hops back to the elevator, then promises Alfred and Petunia that he'll watch out for Nezzer.
Meanwhile, in Mr. Nezzer's secret hideout, which is located in the Bumblyburg clock tower, he shows his henchman, Mr. Lunt, the 5 secret cases. At first, Lunt doesn't know what they are, but Nezzer tells him that they're secret cases, then tells him that they'll be mine. Nezzer laughs evilly, then tells Lunt to laugh with him since he's his henchman, and he does so. As the duo continue to laugh, Lunt sits in a nearby chair. Suddenly, when Nezzer tries to warn him not to sit there, 2 shackles appear and capture him! Nezzer tells Lunt that the chair he just sat in is one of his evil booby trap chairs, then frees him. Lunt asks Nezzer if his plan for the cases is something evil, and Nezzer tells him it's a recipe for disaster. Lunt asks Nezzer if LarryBoy is gonna stop him, but Nezzer assures him that he's no match for him. As he continues explaining his plan, he and Lunt sing "I'm Mr. Nezzer" with the Asparagus Singers.
Later, LarryBoy enters the pub and unknowingly passes by Nezzer, reading a newspaper and using it to hide his face. After passing the Peach, who's sitting at a table, LarryBoy sits at another table, then two waiter gourds, holding a banana split. The waiters greet LarryBoy, then ask him for his order As LarryBoy tries to order, he realizes that the waiters are Jimmy and Jerry in disguise, but they shush him, then tell him that he's not supposed to recognize them because they're in disguise. LarryBoy asks for the banana split, and the gourds give it to him, before leaving. LarryBoy grabs the spoon, then uses it to flip the banana split of its dish, revealing it's actually a PDA device. Alfred and Petunia tell LarryBoy that the first of the five cases is kept in the glass building, and that he has to go there this very night to retrieve it. As LarryBoy exits the pub, Nezzer, who's heard about the glass building, decides to head there too.
At night, LarryBoy arrives at the glass building first. He hops out of the Larry Mobile and uses a laser beam to cut a circle of glass out of the door. Then he uses his plunger ear to remove it, then enters the building. The only thing LarryBoy has to pass is a bunch of security cameras. He realizes that if the cameras see him, he'll get caught. He dodges them by sneaking from wall to wall. Finally, he finds a big room. When he enters it, he sees a giant screen and a dance mat. While trying to figure out how to activate the mat, LarryBoy finds the control, then puts in his code. After the screen activates, the dance trainer, who's Apollo Gourd, appears, then tells LarryBoy that it's time for him to dance for the 1st case. A figure and a score bar appear on the screen, then the figure starts dancing. After a short time, LarryBoy follows all the figure's moves as the bar turns green. As LarryBoy finally completes the dance, the figure turns green and Apollo activates a robot arm from the screen post, and the arm has the 1st case. LarryBoy grabs it and tells the viewers that it was easy. He hops out of the dance mat while Apollo thanks him for dancing. But after LarryBoy gets out of the building, Nezzer appears in front him and says "Good evening, LarryBoy". As LarryBoy attempts to hide the case behind his back, Lunt sneakily steals it from him, then gives it to Nezzer. LarryBoy tries to tell Nezzer that the case is for Percy's birthday, but Nezzer says it's for his plan. The trio sing "Good and Bad Don't Mix". After the
