However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when Amanda Killman, the school's strict principal, finds out that Bunsen is a monster. Terrified of the news spreading, she sets out to capture him and turn him over to the authorities.

Bunsen and Mikey quickly realize that they need to find a way to escape the school before Amanda can catch them. With Bunsen's powers, they are able to outsmart Amanda and her minions at every turn, hiding in plain sight and using their powers to confuse their captors. However, as the chase continues, Amanda becomes more and more determined to capture Bunsen, and it becomes clear that the two friends will need to work together to escape.
