Professor Pippy P. Poopypants has had enough. The brilliant scientist creates amazing inventions, but nobody respects his work because they cannot stop laughing at his name. His frustration boils over into rage, and he decides to make everyone pay. The professor arms himself with his most dangerous creation yet: the Shrinky-Pig 2000. This diabolical device gives him the power to shrink anything he wants, and he plans to use it against anyone who has ever mocked him. As Professor Poopypants goes on his vengeful rampage, only one hero can stop his terrible plot. Captain Underpants must swing into action to save the day. The underwear-clad superhero will need every bit of his Wedgie Power to defeat this furious scientist and his shrinking machine. The fate of everyone depends on whether Captain Underpants can overcome Professor Poopypants before his revenge destroys everything.
