Plot

The episode begins with Kin and Kon sitting on the couch playing I spy while Laney watches. Kon says that he spies something that is Kin. Kin, unenthusiastically asks if it's him and Kon is shocked to see how he got the answer so quickly. Laney rolls her eyes at this. Corey them comes into the garage with the sounds of excited screams behind him. Corey asks the rest of the band what it would be like if those screams were for them. Excited, the three of them all ask if it really is for them with enthusiastic grins on their faces and brightly shining eyes of joy to which Corey replies that it's actually not for them, dropping all of their spirits. Corey says that those are the screams of a bunch of little kids at a birthday party and he says that they might be able to get screaming fans if they start performing at little kid's birthday parties. The rest of the band looks to be rather put off by the idea of this. Kon then comes up and says that normally, he loves every idea that Corey has, but then changes his misleading sentence by saying that this time is no exception. Kin also proves to love this idea. Corey then thinks of what they could use as a gimmick. He suggests clowns, cowboys, or something with tails. Laney then tells him that maybe instead of any of those thing, they could simply be a garage band but none of the other members of the band can see themselves being a garage band, despite the fact that they already are.

Nick Mallory is hosting a birthday party for his little brother Mick Mallory at his house and Trina is with him, flirting with him. There's a clown at the party for entertainment but Mick Mallory feels as though he's not good enough. Just then, Grojband unexpectedly appears in a cloud of pink smog while Corey narrates everything. The kids at the party all watch in awe as they see Grojband dramatically début an introduce themselves as The Justice Band. Grojband is dressed up like a team of superheroes and they pass themselves off as real ones too. The kids cheer for The Justice Band, much to the clown's jealousy. The first to introduce himself is Kin who is going as a superhero named Screecules, labeled "The ancient god of feedback." Screecules takes out an amplifier attached to a stick to make the loud screeching sound of static, blast the children at the party. Although it was loud and annoying, and shattered a lot of glass objects, the children all cheer for him. Kon introduces himself as Beep Bot "A superhero who farts evil a hundred times per second". Beep Bot plays, the drums which rattles all of the kids at the party to which they cheer. Next to introduce herself is Laney, introducing herself as Livewire. She labels herself as "A sassy ninja you don't want to tangle with" as she takes out a star shaped bass guitar and launches the strings out which grabs a kid's soda can out of his hands and takes it from him. Corey grabs the soda and introduces himself as Front Man and simply describes himself saying "I boss these guys around." Mick Mallory says that he loves The Justice Band and hires them for the party and tells the clown to leave.

Trina throws her arms out, grabs Corey and pulls her up to herself growling in rage. Corey looks at her with a very normal face and asks her in a funny way "Greetings citizen, what evil be fouls you?" Trina screams in fury at him, telling him that she does not want him ruining the party that Nick made and that she went through a lot of work putting it together. The screen then cuts to Mina, who is blowing up a bouncy castle only with her mouth. The bouncy castle is almost entirely inflated and Mina is almost entirely out of breath. Her face is red and sweating and she is gasping for air. She then works up enough breath to ask Trina if she can use a pump. Trina ignores her and demands that Corey and his band leave the party immediately. However, Corey can't leave because all the kids at the party really love Front Man. The kids all form a crowd and start carrying him on a wave. Corey bids Trina a doo as they throw him onto the bouncy castle. The impact of Corey on the bouncy castle forces all the air out of it and into Mina's mouth. Inflating her face and making it blast out her mouth, launching her back on a trail of hot steaming air, and burning her face with pain as she smashes straight into the birthday cake. Trina gets mad at Mina for doing that and lashes out at Mina because now she has to go through all the work of making her make another cake and making her destroy Corey. Mina, regaining concoiusness, tells Trina that destroying Corey won't bee too easy while he's front man because kids love superheroes. The screen then shows the kids all screaming in joy and playing around with the members of The Justice Band and likely seeing them as real superheroes. Trina gets the idea to prove to the kids that they're not real superheroes, ruining their title as The Justice Band. She plans to make some real danger happen and she comes up with throwing Mina's pet cat up a tree.

Later at the party, Mick Mallory introduces The Justice Band to the audience as the entertainment. Frontman is about to go up on stage and sing until Livewire reminds him that they don't have lyrics. Frontman tells her that everything is going to be fine because making Trina go into Diary Mode is only a hop and a skip away. Just then, they hear Trina calling out for help because Mina's cat is stuck in a tree. Trina, Mina, and Mina's cat Dr. Purr are all standing by the tree. However, Dr. Purr isn't even in the tree which doesn't fail to raise concern and question within the band as Sceeculees says "What kitty?" Trina becomes angered and then she grabs Dr. Purr straight out of Mina's hands and throws not only him, but also Mina straight up into the tree. The kids all get scared, but they keep them hope in The Justice Band, knowing that they will save them. The band is worried because they didn't plan this and don't exactly know what to do. They try to keep themselves in hand, knowing that these are just little kids watching them, but this all changes one Chance Happening appears in their very backyard, doing a news report on them.
