==Synopsis==
Lincoln is celebrating his twelfth birthday with a David Steele-themed party at Gus' Games and Grub, in which his friends all come dressed as their favorite villains. As he's about to open his presents, Lynn Sr. and Gramps prepare to present him with a special gift that's been in the family for generations, having been given to Gramps by his father when he turned twelve, and then handed down to Lynn Sr. on his twelfth birthday. Unfortunately, they find that the gift is missing.
Lincoln goes to ask Gus if he saw anything suspicious. Gus says he hasn't, but he could find it on his security system (which he installed because he thinks someone's trying to steal his garlic recipe). They find that the cameras have all been blacked out, and when rewinding the footage, Lincoln spots three suspects - Chandler, Flip, and Scoots. Lincoln challenges the three non-partygoers to a game of Go Fish, saying that if he wins, they have to empty their pockets, and he'll have to give up his presents if one of them wins. Lincoln fortunately wins the game, but as it turns out, the three suspects are all innocent (though they do find that Chandler was the one stealing Gus' recipe). Gus then tells the Louds that their party reservation is over now and they'll have to leave. Before they do, however, the restaurant's lights are dimmed and Lincoln sees a message for him on one of the arcade machines, saying "I have your present, Mr. Steele".
Later that evening, Lisa provides Lincoln with some new inventions to help him find his stolen present, including a pair of loafers that can magnetize to metallic surfaces and allow him to land safely from high altitudes, plus a watch that controls the shoes and also acts as a phone. Just then, they get a call on said watch from the mystery villain, who says that Lincoln has 20 minutes to find him or else he will destroy the present. Luckily, Todd is able to trace the call as coming from the construction site of the Dairyland condos. Lisa then shows Lincoln that she has engineered Lola's princess car into a "Steelemobile" for Lincoln to use and even control with his watch.
Using the Steelemobile, Lincoln makes his way to the construction site where the mystery villain is hiding out. After several close calls, including jumping on multiple girders and escaping from a portable bathroom that the villain lifts with a crane, Lincoln manages to chase the mystery villain all the way to the trailer he's been hiding out in. Right before handing over the present, the "villain" finally reveals himself - Rusty, having planned all of this as his own birthday gift to Lincoln (his cousin Derek helped him in hacking the arcade machine and taught him to operate the crane). Lincoln, amazed at what his friend went through, thanks Rusty for giving him "the best adventure ever".
At home, Lincoln opens his dad and grandfather's present to find that it's the very first issue of David Steele. Thrilled about this, Lincoln tries to call Clyde on the watch to tell him, but accidentally brings the Steelemobile in. Lynn Sr. and Gramps are mystified at seeing Lincoln's spy car and want to take a ride in it. Right when they're about to, though, Lola sees what's happened to her car and angrily chases them through the neighborhood.
