Premise
Wubbzy has lost his mind and decided to travel around Wuzzleburg's state to discover everything where he has lived. Widget, Walden and Daizy go to catch him to avoid him reaching the bad side of the state, but ruckus has already struck.

Plot
Wubbzy reads happy memories as a young little boy in a older Wuzzleburg. and he reveals the time he met Widget and Walden. Widget reveals couldn't talk in the old time because she had a temporary disability that didn't let her talk. Wubbzy then shows the time when he met Daizy. They're all laughing until Wubbzy has an idea, he suggests they go out of Wuzzleburg to visit the entire state. Widget, Walden and Daizy disagree as that sounds like a waste of time and Wubbzy asks a few friends, Kooky Kid, Buggy, Huggy and Earl to go and they agree to go. Walden tells Wubbzy it's final that they're not going. Widget also now tells the gang to come to her Workshop. She reveals her new invention, the Paper Plopper 3001. She says she changed 3000 to 3001 to tell them it's for the future. Wubbzy asks if it plops papers, Widget says no and says it's something not about papers and it won't work until 12:00am on Wubbsday, which is in 3 days. The gang decide to go to bed.

Wubbzy gets uncomfortable and wants to travel around his state so he decides to run off and drive the Wubbmobile. Widget wakes up and goes outside and wonders why her Wubbmobile is gone, she calls Walden and Daizy, therefore, ruining their sleep. Walden suggests checking her security cameras and she sees Wubbzy, Kooky Kid, Buggy, Huggy and Earl getting in the Wubbmobile and Wubbzy driving off. She freaks out and immediately starts moderating her Happy Hopper 3000 into a spare car to go after Wubbzy.

While on the road, Wubbzy spots something unusual, at first, he saw the Wubb Girlz performing but in reality, he saw a dust twister. Cut to Widget, she finally spots Wubbzy and speeds up to him. Widget asks him to be let on along with Walden and Daizy, Wubbzy says yes, and presses a step button. Walden almost falls off but Daizy saves him before he can hit ground. Widget asks Wubbzy if she can take the wheel. Wubbzy agrees. Until they see a dark spark in the sky, they finally decide to go back to Wuzzleburg, only for it to be nearly demolished.

The gang's houses are the only remaining buildings so they check them, Wubbzy's ball is popped and so are his spares, someone ruined Daizy's garden, Walden's books are damaged and ripped. Wubbzy sees his memory book untouched so he checks more memories. He starts facing flashbacks of Wubbzy, Widget and Walden being friends as little kids and he sheds one tear. Wubbzy then thinks of a way to find out who caused the fall of Wuzzleburg.

The crew of "DaDuo" were the ones responsible from checking Widget's barely-surviving camera. Wubbzy and his friends decide to discuss about it and DaDuo sneaks up on them, and 2 people grabbed them, but it was cut to the citizens of Wuzzleburg looking at the aftermath and they didn't break down the tower for television and phone service so people check a still-working TV to check the news. The gang get out of their van somewhere else and they find green liquid and Walden identifies it as toxic slime, or, deadly acid with some chance of morphing to something else.

Wubbzy builds a poorly-made hideout to plan to recover for all of the damage. His plan is to catch DaDuo and after they do, they either fix up Wuzzleburg to what it was before or make a new Wuzzleburg with lots of upgrades. Well everyone unaminously chose the new Wuzzleburg. But before he can continue, he breaks down depressingly running. Widget, Walden and Daizy ask him what's wrong and he's worried about the future of Wuzzleburg and he always loved the old Wuzzleburg and tells them a few memories with flashbacks, including when he was in the house during the Yellow War of Wuzzleburg. Widget comforts him and shows Wubbzy what Wuzzleburg looks like now. Walden tells him it's now demolished, unlivable, and now too crappy to see anymore. Daizy tells him that's why they should make a new Wuzzleburg, because "the newer, the better!" Wubbzy then calms down and they are ready to take down DaDuo.

DaDuo's lair, they see Wubbzy and his friends escaped their van and they have been left with no choice. End Wubbzy and his friends. The leader of DaDuo, Hubler is disappointed and scolding his partners for not checking on them. They drive back to Wuzzleburg to kidnap Widget, Walden and Daizy and make Wubbzy go on a trail to their lair to kill them. Wubbzy then senses DaDuo coming back so he and his friends prepare for the big battle.

DaDuo finally make it and they wonder why no one is there. Wubbzy and 30 Wuzzleburgians launch out of a hideout with battle equipment: Wubbzy with a kickball launcher, Widget with the NoEvilDone 3000, Walden with the weapon of smartness and Daizy with Dandelion Danger. DaDuo accept their battle and Hubler yells, "MAY OUR FINAL BATTLE BEGIN!"

Fulse K.Os Walden with a UnFunGun. Wubbzy gets worried about failing and Wubbzy spams his launcher at Fulse out of anger and Fulse just runs in fear. Hubler then takes betrays Fulse and takes her UnFunGun. Daizy asks why did he betray her. Hubler tells Daizy to "mind her damn business and hits her with the UnFunGun. Widget gets payback with the NoEvilDone 3000 but it wasn't that successful as it malfunctions and it flies out of her hand into to the sky and explodes out fireworks and as Widget says, "That wasn't supposed to happen" and Wubbzy is the last one able to stop Hubler. Fulse gets furious at the back and Wubbzy touches the acid and unlocks the fact that when he says Wow, it gets powerful and Wubbzy uses it to stop Hubler once and for all. Fulse now gets up and grabs a pan and hits him in the back. Fulse then tells Wubbzy to grab the UnFunGun.

Wubbzy is now confused on why Fulse is helping them now, and Fulse responds with, "Well, I'm gonna be honest, I never wanted to be on Hubler's side," and tells Wubbzy that she was threatened to hate Wuzzleburg and when she was betrayed earlier, she had a change of heart and gives Hubler a piece of his own medicine. Wubbzy then grabs the UnFunGun and smashes to the ground and destroys it with his most powerful Wow, which causes everyone to be pushed away, including Wubbzy. When the dust is finally done, Wuzzleburg is cheering and Hubler is screaming out in failure to destroy Wuzzleburg.

Cutaway to Hubler being sent to prison for a prolonged time to attempted murder, genocide and kidnap. Everyone is wondering what they do now, Wubbzy references the South Park episode, The China Probrem, by responding to them by saying, "We live... and set Wuzzleburg to a new glory." Time card to 6 months later, Wuzzleburg has a new look and everyone parties in the Wubb Club and the movie ends.
