Timmy hopes to ask Trixie Tang to the school dance, deciding to do so via e-mail, but when his parents add their own "threat-mantic" additions to his letter (and send it), Timmy wishes to venture through cyberspace to retrieve the e-mail back before it reaches Trixie's computer. While exploring the Internet, Timmy winds up in Mr. Crocker's computer, who suspects that the pink-hatted virus may be the work of Timmy's fairy godparents, and thus sends a virus of his own to use Timmy's computer as a way to spy on Cosmo and Wanda.

Timmy attempts to create the perfect movie in order to win the Dimmy award and impress Trixie. Although he does win the award, it does not actually win his interest's heart.
