When a distress call arrives about a malfunctioning Air Force One that Mr. Terrific could repair easily, Stanley discovers that his power pills inexplicably have stopped working.

Concerned that Stanley's behavior suggests that Stanley may be turning into a criminal, Hal decides to block Stanley from any wrongdoing — and keeps getting in the way of Stanley stopping a major jewel heist.

Spies steal Mr. Terrific′s power-pill formula, and because the pills only work on Stanley, the thieves also need to kidnap Stanley, brainwash him, and sell him to the highest bidder.
