Synopsis[]
When Garfield and Odie wind up on a cartoon with superheroes, they try to find a way back to their own show. Meanwhile, Jon becomes susceptible to a yogurt salesman.
Plot[]
Garfield and Odie walk together in the city and notice that everything looks different. Upon seeing a realistic looking cat and dog walking around and Garfield and Friends airing on a television set, they realize that they are in the wrong cartoon. They then see Jon being scammed by a sleazy salesman, who is offering a useless yogurt sorter that is a front for a time share. Meanwhile, a group of superheroes called the Power Squad see Garfield and Odie, believing them to be monsters. They set out to "stop them".
Before Garfield and Odie can get home, the Power Squad lands in the city, introducing themselves to the crowd. The superheroes then ask Garfield and Odie if they are from another world. While Garfield tries to explain their situation, monsters from another dimension appear and start attacking the city. The Power Squad tries to stop them, only to find their powers are useless against their enemies. Garfield borrows a pencil from the animators and erases one of the monsters. The others subsequently flee back to their dimension. Garfield declares his intent to teach the Power Squad how to become lovable and popular. Garfield then remembers the salesman. He gets the Power Squad to help them save Jon from being scammed.
They arrive back in Garfield and Odie's dimension, where they find out that Jon has already bought the salesman's product. Garfield then realizes that Kurdman can use his cottage cheese controlling powers to control the yogurt and restrain the salesman. Jon offers to let Garfield eat the yogurt if he lets him out of the contract. When salesman refuses, the Power Squad force him into reconsidering. The salesman terminates his deal with Jon and runs away. Garfield, Jon and Odie then wave goodbye to the Power Squad as they go back to their own dimension. Jon imagines himself as a superhero, with the appearances of several monsters scaring him from the idea.
