Plot[]
Act I[]
Initiation.
At a campfire under a full moon, Riley and Tasumi get initiated as camp counselors at Camp Naddaladdadoe. Head counselor Skip Kipper gives Riley a very smelly uniform that was previously worn by "Stinky Stu". Riley wants to spend the rest of the night preparing for the new arrivals, but the head counselor holds a dance party instead.
The next day, Agent K packs Todd's suitcase for camp. Todd is not looking forward to Camp Naddaladdadoe, especially because they always lose the talent show to the rich kids' camp. During orientation, the rich kids from Camp Chaching pass by in a stretch limo and make fun of the kids from Camp Naddaladdadoe.
Later, Agent K sends Todd a care package that includes spy equipment. The package includes poisonous muffins in case Buzz steals Todd's package again.
On the beach, the campers get to work painting a canoe for their production of "Mutiny of the HMS Naddaladdadoe". Riley is on lifeguard duty because the other counselors were worn out from partying. The rich kids pass by in a ship and taunt the campers from Camp Naddaladdadoe. Todd gets annoyed at the kids from Camp Chaching because they know they always win the talent show. There is no signal in the wilderness, so Todd cannot make any replacements. Later, while Camp Naddaladdadoe rehearses their talent show act, they witness the rich kids performing a musical act with professional production values.
That night, Skip and Tasumi invite Riley to go to the beach and the bowling alley. Skip has a plan to prevent the campers from wandering away from their tents. He enters Todd's tent and tells the kids about the mythical Logfoot, a creature that wanders around the woods eating berries, twigs, and "nerdy little kids." At first, Riley thinks that Skip and the other counselors are being irresponsible, but Skip mentions that there will be ponies, sealing the deal for Riley. After Riley and the other counselors leave, Todd, Jacobo, Buzz, and Shelton decide to hunt for Logfoot.
Act II[]
Todd believes that Camp Naddaladdadoe will finally win the talent show if they capture Logfoot. He shows the other kids the spy gear he got in his care package, and Buzz promptly eats the poisoned muffins.
Meanwhile at home, Dick Daring whines about not getting to go to camp. Agent K sets up a tent so Dick can go camping in the backyard. However, Dick hugs C.A.R. thinking he was responsible for setting up the campsite. While Dick is inside the tent, C.A.R. plays the sounds of howling wolves.
Logfoot hunting.
In the woods, the boys come across an ax-carrying masked man. The man turns out to be a lumberjack. He then holds up a knife covered in red liquid, and the boys scream and run away before he can tell them he is only eating pie. Later, the boys encounter man-eating snakes, then they use Agent K's grappling hook to pass a tiny chasm. While the camp counselors party at a bowling alley, the boys see a shadowy figure.
Act III[]
The counselors return to the camp believing that nothing happened while they were away. Riley enters Todd's tent, and she sees a note saying that they are out hunting for Logfoot. She panics because the talent show is tomorrow morning and all the parents will be there. Skip tells Riley that he will blame her for losing the campers, and she angrily stomps his foot. Riley is unable to call Fleemco, so she goes out to look for the missing campers herself. Meanwhile, the boys come face-to-face with Logfoot. They capture him in a net after stunning him with Agent K's muffins. At home, Agent K scolds C.A.R. for scaring Dick.
While Riley searches for the missing campers, she encounters the masked man and the man-eating snakes. She gets covered in dirt, leaves, and twigs as she runs through the wilderness.
Todd reveals Logfoot.
The next morning, the audience gets restless while the kids from Camp Chaching perform at the talent show. After their act, the rich kids dare the Camp Naddaladdadoe counselors to forfeit the show. Suddenly, Todd arrives and unveils Logfoot on stage. Surprisingly, Logfoot can talk in a surfer accent. Logfoot tells the rich kids' parents that he is "a dirty guy with long hair," and they run away terrified. Camp Naddaladdadoe wins the talent show.
Logfoot reveals himself to be Stinky Stu. He explains that he went bowling during his shift, and he got lost in the wilderness searching for missing campers. Suddenly, Riley arrives completely covered in leaves and dirt. Everyone runs away believing that she is a creature named Bat Bear.
Epilogue[]
Mr. Daring picks leaves, sticks, and other things off of his daughter. He is disappointed to learn that Bat Bear and Logfoot do not exist.
Trivia[]
