But suddenly they heard the shaking sound. Webby thought it was an earthquake, but Huey thinks that was not an earthquake, that was Giant Launchpad. They were shocked as Donald fainted. Webby was telling him about what happened. Launchpad then said "Well, I tried to find someone but I found a strange red lake, which I fell into the lake and grew 60 feet.".

Huey knew that red lake was a growth lake. Since Launchpad is now a sixty foot tall pilot, he was worried about it. They went back to the manor to figure out how to cure Launchpad.

Beakley then ask Launchpad what's the matter, but he didn't want to talk about it. When Beakley suggested Launchpad to play with the kids, Launchpad said they refused to let him play. Then the kids explains about Launchpad being too big to fly a plane, drive, or play with them. Launchpad then begins to cry. The kids avoid the giant tears. Beakley needs him to stop crying. Launchpad stops crying and sniffs, then Beakley was calling Ludwig to cure Launchpad. Later, at the city, the freak show performers were shocked, Happy Jack saw Giant Launchpad. The performers runs for their lives. So he runs into him and asked if he would be a new freak show performer. Launchpad agrees to become a new freak show performer.

Back at the manor, Scrooge and Beakley were worried about Launchpad being missing. Ludwig then tells them about the circus. Ludwig said that Launchpad is at the circus. He also gave a note to Beakley and says "You're all invited to see Launchpad, the 60 foot pilot - Happy Jack." They must go to the circus. At the circus, Happy Jack is presenting a sixty foot Launchpad. Scrooge saw Launchpad and walks up the stage. He then asked Launchpad why is he doing here. Happy Jack tells Scrooge to get off the stage. Scrooge then tells him that he is trying to get his worker back. But Jack refuses to give him back. Launchpad then gets out of the cage and grabs Scrooge as they escape, Jack was chasing them in hot pursuit. At Duckburg, Launchpad runs from Happy Jack, the citizens look up at Launchpad. They all run for their lives. Launchpad then climbs up the building. Beakley notices Launchpad and Scrooge are top of the building. The others need to find a way how to get up. They saw Donald flying the plane. Then, they hop on the plane and flies up. Launchpad saw them in the plane. But he notices there Happy Jack and Flintheart are on their planes too.
