Plot

Henry Hart returns back to Swellview and welcomed back Danger Force and Captain Man. He asks the team how they've been doing since he left, and they tell him about their missions including their mission at the Swellview Prison when they accidentally let out all of the prisoners that Henry spent his childhood locking up in jail. He asks them if they caught any of them with them telling him their still out there committing crimes as they speak. After they talk, Ray asks Henry why he's here and he tells him that he is here to see him. Ray insists they go out and fight crime like the times when Henry was his sidekick, but Henry tells him he wanted to lay low because everyone in Swellview thinks Kid Danger is dead. This leads to Danger Force going on several missions while Ray and Henry play games in the Man's Nest.

After many exhausting missions, Danger Force decides they've had enough and stand up to Ray and Henry with Chapa telling them that they should take care of the mission they receive. Henry tries to negotiate with Danger Force making up excuses as to why he cannot go, but Danger Force doesn't fall for it and sends the two on the nest mission. While they are on the mission, they come across Jeff Bilsky, a criminal Captain Man used to fight with Henry until he escapes, and they are captured by a Dystopian bounty hunter named Blackout who eats peoples' souls. When they are captured, they call Danger Force in the middle of their screen time and Ray tells them about the situation they're in while Henry begs them to help. The kids continue denying their requests until Henry promises to give them puppies. Waiting for the kids, Captain Man taunts Blackout eventually leading him to be brutally attacked by him until forcing Henry to sacrifice himself to save Ray. Right before Blackout is about to attack Henry, AWOL manages to teleport them on top of Blackout and free Henry who tries to escape but Danger Force convinces him to stay and fight. Henry and Danger Force battle against Blackout defeating him and free Captain Man.

The next day, they're back in the Man's Nest as Henry is about to leave saying a final goodbye to Ray and Danger Force (who now have their puppies as promised). Right before Henry leave however, Schwoz leaves him a present only telling him it is alive, which makes Henry a bit anxious.
