In this particular episode, Becky/Bob has to face two enemies at once, with one of them being a former friend.
The first enemy that Becky has to face is the notorious villain Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy. Chuck has been stealing all the sandwiches in the city and the citizens are getting increasingly frustrated and hungry. WordGirl tracks down Chuck and tries to stop him, but he escapes and decides to take his evil deeds to the next level by making a giant sandwich that will cover up the sun and plunge the city into darkness.
At the same time, Becky's former best friend, the popular and snobby Victoria Best, has teamed up with the Whammer, a villain with superhuman strength who loves to use his fists to cause destruction. Victoria is tired of WordGirl stealing her thunder as the smartest kid in class and decides to get revenge by partnering with the Whammer to defeat WordGirl and become the new hero of the town.
As WordGirl tries to stop Chuck and his giant sandwich, she also has to defend herself against the Whammer and Victoria Best.
