The gang enters a kids film festival where they can make their own movie and submit it for a chance to win a cash prize. They decide to make a film on the Brown Hornet with Rudy directing. A number of mishaps occur during the making of the movie, which gets Rudy frustrated with the rest of the gang. Mudfoot advises him that if he treats them more kindly, he'll get better results. Rudy returns to finish directing, indeed putting on his kinder face. They become suspicious of what he's up to and find out for sure on the night of the film contest. Rudy plans to give a speech putting down the gang's bad efforts, calling them amateurs. Surprisingly, the Brown Hornet film wins and before Rudy goes on stage to accept the trophy, Fat Albert tells him it was a full team effort. Rudy has a change of heart and complements the rest of the gang, apologizing for the way he acted before. They all come out on stage with him as they join in their victory together.
