Zippy and Wet Willy had already arrived, though, and Zippy shows Ceela and Jenny. Mr. Red tells Zippy that he and Willy should try it while attached to a kite. The two decide to try it out and run to the park to try it out, as Ceela realizes today will be a lightning storm.

Zippy and Wet Willy go to the park to use the kite to fly. Zippy voluenteers to do the stunt and Willy flies the kite with Zippy holding a key attached. Suddenly, the sky turns grey and Zippy hears thunder. He tells Willy that they should leave, but Willy thinks they'll be fine. Zippy gets struck by lightning and falls down. As Zippy and Wet Willy head to their homes Zippy starts to float and has laser vision, super stregnth, and can lift heavy things. Zippy realizes the lightning strike gave him superpowers.

Zippy zooms to his house while his brother and sister, Zane and Zalow are sleeping and says it's Super Zip to the rescue. This wakes them up and they wonder what is going on. She then, says Zalow is being eaten by a chair and she saves her. Zippy then, says Zane is being ate by a giant red monster (played by their dog Flambo) and zap it with a laser, which scares Flambo. Zane says he does not feel safer. Greg then, comes into the room and says he is making burgers, he says not today and decided to make hot dogs instead. he then, has Flo, play a villain and she easily gives up and Zippy is upset by that. Zalow then, tells Zippy that maybe there will be something for Zippy to do with his new powers and Zippy flies off back to the Burger Shack.

Zippy with a new costume, returns to the shack and shows Wet Willy, Ceela and Jenny his new powers, annoying Zack. This makes Zippy to call him Dr. Negative again. Willy thinks that a nearby citizen has been injured, but he really just has toilet paper attached to his foot from the bathroom. Zippy gets out his laser eyes which burns off his shoe. Zippy then burns the man's eyes with peroxide. Angered, the man moves away while Wet Willy, Ceela and Jenny are enjoying the show. Zack then tells one of them they have to take the trash out.

Zippy volunteers and flame punches the trash and it lands on the customers and they leave angered. Mr. Red is angry that all his customers are gone and he calls Zack into his office. He shows his secret room, with comic books, and also with a suit that Red sewed up himself. Red then puts on the suit, called Captain Mutiny, with Zack playing the doctor. Red sends out lassos to attack Zippy, Wet Willy, Ceela and Jenny, but all of them miss. He then throws Zack at Zippy, and he gets stuck. He manages to break free, but spins out and knocks objects, including money. Zippy then questions their fighting and opens up his comic book, which states that no superhero should fight a bad guy until the bad guy commits a crime. Mr. Red then steals his own money, but Zippy is not stupid to realize that.

The setting then changes to a bank, where Red pretends to rob the bank. An old man tells him that the ATM is outside, but then attacks Zack and Red after they said they were pretending to rob the bank. At night, the Burger Shack, now called the Lair, has transformed into a scientific evil lab. Zippy has a crime scene set so they can play, but Zack takes it seriously, thinking it is his chance to knock his neighbors out and kidnaps Wet Willy, Ceela and Jenny. He actually lowers the lever on the trap, sending Zippy down towards boiling grease. Zack wants them to fry, but Red gives up because Zack is literally playing the bad guy which scares Willy, Ceela and Jenny. Zippy frees himself and rescues Wet Willy, Ceela and Jenny by tipping the lift, but Zack and Red get fried and The Burger Shack is now destroyed.

In the end, Red sticks to reading comic books and Zippy flies into the distance. Willy asks if Ceela can turn Zippy back to normal. She said it'll take a week to create one. The Narrator says he needs to find another job and asks if it is too late to go back to college radio.
