Doug Dimmadome selects the Turners to go on a space mission, but it turns out he was really Dark Laser in disguise, with an elaborate plan to take revenge on Timmy and trap the Turners in a space zoo on his Death Ball. In this episode, Timmy's parents are revealed to be more intelligent than before, because they (smartly) say the opposite of what they want so Dark Laser will do "terrible things" (opposite of what they want) to them.

After Dad gets lost while looking for their hotel and lands on a deserted island, he struggles to make a boat to save his family to prove his masculinity and does not let anyone help him. Meanwhile, Poof finds a nuclear bomb in the sand and Cosmo activates it, putting the Turners' life at risk unless Timmy can defuse it.
