The Secret Saturdays come to Bellwood to investigate a rash of chupacabra attacks. Ben and Rook assist, finding the chupacabras have been draining aliens of their lifeforce. They soon discover that the chupacabras are being controlled by Dr. Animo, who is an old business assciote of V.V. Argost. Using the alien lifeforce, Animo successfully revives Argost in a mis-matched hybrid body. Now Ben, Rook, and the Saturdays must work together to turn the tables on the alliance of Dr. Animo and V.V. Argost when they plan to make an army of "Franken-Cryptids.

Octagon and Rhomboid Vreedle once more blow themselves up. After reviving again, they decide to prove themselves to Ma Vreedle by pulling off successful crimes; to ensure success in numbers, they take a Pretty Boy Vreedle to assist them under the belief that Ma won't notice one out of the several others missing. When Ma does discover this (but not that her dumbest sons were responsible), she threatens to blow up the sun if the Plumbers don't find Pretty Boy. Meanwhile Ben tries to hide from his mom so he won't get seconds on the dinner that he hates.
