Plot
Hammy (Tom Kenny), Leslie (Billy West) and Pugsy (Jim Cummings) discover a Monster (Frank Welker) that lives in the lake. Believing the monster is evil, they are scared of him at first, but later on, they find him to be nice. Despite this, however, the monster is proof that Bill Bluff (Doug Preis) is polluting the lake, and this fact created this monster. The Monster almost eats the book Moby Dick, but Leslie stops him and says, "Stop! You almost ate Herman Melville! You don't eat books, that is a NO!" and the monster returns it to them as an apology, so they name him Herman Melville after the Monster takes a liking to the author's name. Unfortunately, all of this commotion with the monster makes Doug forget that he was supposed to meet Robyn (Grey DeLisle) at Mr. Swirly's (Peter Browngardt). When he remembers this at the last minute, he runs to Swirly's as fast as he can using the quickest shortcuts that he knows. Once he gets there, Patti is nowhere to be seen. He asks Mr. Swirly if he's seen her, and he says the she was here for a while and looked very upset, and then left with a guy who kept talking about his big plans for a dance. When Doug heard this, he knew that this guy was no one else but Guy (Tim Curry), a snobby upper class man who wants Robyn. Meanwhile, Roger (Chris Phillips) and the AV nerds are building a robot (Eddie Korbich) to kidnap Herman, but when they build the robot it acts like Roger's babysitter, much to his dismay and annoyance.

Hammy then rushes to the Funky Town night club, where Guy and Robyn are working on the dance. He apologizes to Robyn there and she accepts his apology, but Guy cuts in and says that Doug is "just a stupid little kid." Hammy, very angry now, says that he has proof that Guy is evil and is polluting the lake. Guy then calls Doug a liar. Doug then invites them both to the report that is being held in front of Mr. Dink's (Peter Browngardt) house about Herman and the pollution. Hammy then leaves, but the picture of the monster falls out of his pocket without him knowing. Guy picks up the picture and realizes that Doug was telling the truth; however, he calls Guy, with whom he has connections to. At the reporting, Doug sees that a news reporters camera is inflatable. He then realizes that the news company is a fake, that it is supporting Guy, and trying to compensate the monster. Doug then has to tell everyone that there has been a mistake, Robyn gets mad at him, thinks that he is a liar and walks away with Guy.

That night, Guy finds the boys with Herman and kidnaps the monster. The next morning, Hammy knows that this is his last chance to save Herman. He goes to the school newspaper room, hoping to find Guy who can lead him to Guy. Guy isn't in the room, but Hammy sees a newspaper article that says that Bluff and his men blast a monster to smithereens at a school dance. Hammy is at first sad and believes that Herman has died, but he then realizes that the school dance isn't until tonight and this is what is being planned to happen, so Doug and Skeeter call Roger and The Sleech twins (also voiced by Korbich) to help.

At the school dance, Hammy makes a deal with Wendy (Whoopi Goldberg) and Gus (Robin Williams) that has to make the biggest choice of his life: going after Robyn or saving Herman. When he does the latter, Guy catches Hammy and Leslie in front of Crystal Lake after Herman escapes into it and plans to enslave them, but is stopped by his brother, Chad,  his father, Robin and his grumpy uncle Branch. Branch forces Guy off of the scene to defend her friends, while Robin and Chad hints at Guy facing the wrath of the federal government if he does not clean up Lucky Duck Lake. Hammy then finds Robyn in front of the woods and Hammy tries to tell her he is in love with her, but is interrupted by Herman. With the return of Herman and a copy of the newspaper, Robyn sees that Hammy had been telling her the truth all along and dumps Guy. Also, Leslie gives Herman the Moby Dick book for something to eat in the lake and Herman also gives Hammy a flower to give to Porkchop (also played by Newman) to which Porkchop comes running out of the woods into Herman's arms (earlier in the film, Porkchop was opposed to Herman, but softened up when the Monster gave the dog a gift). The kids say goodbye to Herman; after Herman jumps back into the lake, Hammy tells Robyn he likes her and Bart almost becomes friends with Hammy, but is interrupted by the robot. Hammy starts dancing with Robyn and Leslie, Branch, Chad and Robin sings the Hammy theme song, ending the film.

During the credits, Guy is last seen arrested by the FBI for the Animal Cruelty.

In the post-credits scene, Wendy and Gus are married and later Gus, breaking the fourth wall, lifts up the screen and says, "Made you look!".
