Plot

At Frankini Klub, Frankini is struggling to get his machine to work, and Frankini wants it to work because it's supposed to make everyone sing and dance. Mr. Curtis asks why he wants to do that, and Frankini says it's because it's summer. Mr. Curtis says that there's something blocking the machine, and it turns out to be Goomer. Frankini asks what he's doing, and Goomer says he was playing hide and seek. Mr. Curtis says that it's time to pay him, but Frankini buzzes him instead. Frankini sets the machine to musical. The next day, Henry wakes up to the musical curse, as everyone sings the first song, "There's a Musical Curse Over Swellview". And on the news, Frankini reveals that he put the musical curse over Swellview.

At the Man Cave, the gang wonders what they're gonna do. Henry arrives, and Jasper sings "You'll Never Believe What Happened", explaining to Henry what Frankini did. Everyone starts talking again, making Henry think they broke the curse, however, he starts singing again. Charlotte says that sometimes the musical curse does something in between songs where people can talk normally, and Schwoz says it doesn't normally last long. Ray tells everyone to be seated, and he sings "Ray Hates Musicals", explaining that when he was a boy, he auditioned for a musical, and it was about cats. However, he didn't get the role, and it went to someone else. Ray says that ever since then, he has hated musicals. Charlotte says that Frankini was just spotted at the park, and Jasper says that The Swellview Summer Market is going on there. Jasper is about to sing a song about it, but everyone stops him. At the park, the vendors are selling Ice Cream, Fresh Corn on the Cob, Hot Dogs, and Beans. Frankini arrives, and sings about the musical. Piper notices Frankini, and sings "We Hate This Curse", saying that they all hate the curse, and think he's the worst. Captain Man and Kid Danger arrive, and they sing "The Swellview Summer Market Fight", where they discover that they cannot fight Frankini due to the musical. Frankini says that he could do the sing and dance all day, but he could use an "intermission" just like on Broadway. Captain Man and Kid Danger assume that it means that the curse will be over in the morning. However, when Henry wakes up the next day, Ray calls him and tells him that the musical isn't over.

At the Man Cave, Schwoz and Charlotte tried to locate Frankini with the help of Henry, Jasper, and Ray by singing "That's Why You Have Us" and complimenting them. As they look on the map they discover that Frankini is at Karayodelyheehoo and Jasper started to sing about until the others told that this is not the right time again. Captain Man and Kid Danger had a video call with Frankini, who challenged them to a musical battle and if the heroes win the spell will end. The heroes and the villain sang "Meet Me Here Tonight". Henry, Charlotte, Jasper, and Schwoz looked for another singer to help them triumph in the battle against Frankini, but realized that Ray was gone. Ray called to tell them that he left Swellview as he was afraid to fight Frankini. Henry, Charlotte, Jasper and Schwoz were worried because they don't know what they are going to do.

Trent and Mary sang "Breaking News" and brought in the park vendors to explain how Captain Man fled the city before being interrupted by Frankini, who was upset that the captain escaped and threatened that the spell would change to rock and roll if the captain does not return. Henry and the team began searching for Ray until Jasper managed to find Ray's location. Ray was taken care of by Hazel, and he was thinking of living in the restaurant so that Hazel would become "Hazel Danger". Ray saw the gas that came out of the burger and Hazel told him that it was the same gas that the Toddler used when it infiltrated the Man Cave. Soon, Hazel was revealed as Henry in disguise, who came to rescue Ray.

Henry and the team began searching for Ray until Jasper managed to find Ray's location. Henry got a message from his mother telling him to come make lunch. At the Hart house, Piper, Kris, and Jake sang "Time for Lunch!" while preparing their food. Jake commented on his acting studio and promised to buy anything from Piper and Kris, so mother and daughter sang "The Want Song" to tell Jake what they wanted. Ray was taken care of by Hazel and he was thinking of living in the restaurant so that Hazel would become "Hazel Danger". Ray saw the gas that came out of the burger and Hazel told him that it was the same gas that the Toddler used when it infiltrated the Man Cave. Soon, Hazel was revealed as Henry in disguise, who came to rescue Ray.

Henry and Ray were in a car on the way to Swellview and Ray was furious that Henry abducted him. Henry contacted the cave to find out if they found a singer. Schwoz and Jasper sang "It'll Be Great" to name the singers they couldn't find. Jasper mentioned that Piper has an amazing voice, which surprised everyone. Ray and Henry argued over Ray's fear of singing. Henry and Ray began singing "The Bro Song" to motivate Ray to become brave to beat Frankini and overcome his fear. Kid Danger and Captain Man arrived at the Hart house to recruit Piper for the musical battle.

Trent, Mary, and the vendors sang "More Breaking News" to speak before airing the musical battle, but Frankini hacked them again and the musical battle began. Captain Man, Kid Danger, Piper, and Frankini sang "The Fight Song." Frankini easily defeated the heroes with his excellent singing. Kid Danger and Piper realized that musicals always end with a cheesy song, so they convinced Captain Man to sing along. To overcome his fears, Captain Man sang "The Cheesy Grand Finale". Goomer betrayed Frankini and joined Captain Man and Kid Danger to sing together. Piper joined the trio and together with Charlotte, Schwoz, Jasper, Kris, Jake, Trent, Mary, and the vendors sang together happily and managed to destroy Frankini's machine and the spell finally ended. Frankini fainted from his loss while Captain Man said "Grand Final". Captain Man, Kid Danger, Piper, and Goomer were applauded by all for successfully finishing the spell.
