Krypto happily watches as Hansel presents his invention but he suddenly witnesses Snooky tampering with the invention, causing it to malfunction and destroy half of the center. Feeling that the invention's malfunction was his fault, Hansel leaves the science center. Krypto and Streaky follow the young genius. At some point after their departure, Snooky steals Hansel's invention and brings it back to his master's spaceship.

Back at the hotel, Krypto and Streaky comfort Hansel by telling him that the invention malfunctioning was Snooky's fault, not his. With this knowledge and angry with Snooky's villainy, Hansel jumps into action. Krypto contacts the Dog Stars and they travel to Mechanikat's spaceship. On the ship, a booby trap is activated and the Dog Stars are stripped of their powers. Believing that they're going to meet their demise, Hansel manages to get hold of the neutralizer and restores the Dog Stars' powers. The Dog Stars then battle the Catbots.

With the Catbots defeated, the Dog Stars work together to defeat Mechanikat. Mechanikat and Snooky are defeated and Hansel's invention is retrieved. Because of his heroic actions, Hansel is awarded with a medal and is made a member of the Dog Stars. Krypto congratulates the latter, on a job well done and said that he always believed in him.

But once they got close, they recognized him as Ace the Bathound, a close friend of Krypto and Streaky. Hansel, on the other hand is ecstatic to meet the partner of Ace for the first time. Ace informs the trio of a group of bullies stealing military technology. The suspect is Butch but the pair are unable to identify but Hansel is as he's a wanted criminal in his kingdom. Hansel offers to tag along but Ace refuses as he saw Hansel as dead weight.

Krypto reassures Hansel by promising him that he'll get the opportunity to impress Ace. Later that night, the trio tracks down, Butch and the gang but are unable to tell them anything as they have no recollection of stealing military technology. Hansel shows up and tells that his arch-enemy, Luther that he hired Butch to steal the technology and erased his memory with his staff to ensure that his plan remains a secret. Slightly impressed by Hansel's intelligence and resourcefulness, Ace allows Hansel to tag along with him on the mission, to the satisfaction of Krypto.

At the opening of the new Metro City National Bank, Luther uses the stolen technology to charge up his staff, thus conjuring up a snow storm which instantly freezes everyone when a snowflake touched them. Bud and Lou steal the money but are confronted by Hansel, Krypto, Ace and Streaky. Ace is knocked by Luther's staff which electrocutes him and Krypto and Streaky are knocked out by a construction crane, leaving Hansel to fight Luther and his minions, himself.

Unfortunately, Luther traps Hansel in a spaceship which is rigged to explode as soon as leaves the Earth's atmosphere. Krypto and Streaky regain consciousness and wonder where Hansel was. By using his X-Ray vision, he sees Hansel struggling to break free of the spaceship and notices that the spaceship is filled with an explosive fuel. He wakes up Ace and fly up to rescue Hansel. Krypto and Streaky free Hansel and they proceed to arrest Luther and his minions.

Xavier has Luther arrested, the damages to the bank are repaired and Xavier lifts the snow spell on the bank patrons and erases their memory of the storm. With dignity, Ace admits that he was wrong about Hansel and bids a farewell to his friends, not before he shares a witty fist bump with him.
