[edit] Plot summary

Numbuh 4 tells the team he's on his way to Boarding School. The team looks worried, but Numbuh 4 tells them he'll bust out like he always does. Two women grab Numbuh 4 and toss him into the bus.

The minute the bus reaches St. Rita's Preparatory School, the Headmistress, Ms. Margaret escorts Numbuh 4 to his homeroom and the room is full of girls. And Numbuh 4 soon finds out why-- Ms. Margaret tells him St. Rita's Preparatory is an all-girls boarding school, and pulls out a Girlifying Rifle, to turn Numbuh 4 into a girl.Fortunatly, it only strikes his hand. Numbuh 4 manages to escape and enlists the help from his teammates to shut down the school, but he prefers taking on Ms. Margaret alone.

In Margaret's office, Margaret contacts her future self and leaves a message, telling her that Numbuh 4 escaped. Numbuh 4 enters and kicks her in the face, causing the robot to fall apart, only then, he notices a kid Margaret was controlling the robot. After their conflict and after Numbuh 4 KO's the robot Margaret, the elder Margaret answers the kid Margaret's call and sends in the Girl Squad to attack Numbuh 4. Numbuh 4 escapes again, but the school starts to chase him, and if that wasn't bad enough, he discovers Numbuhs 1, 2 and 5 were all zapped by Madam Margaret and turned into girls (Numbah Five, being a girl already and more of a tomboy, was merely turned more girly), Numbuh 3, however, was unaffected by Margaret's rays. The school starts closing in on Numbuh 4 and the screen goes black.... (commerical) In the future, 75 years later, Margaret has won; nearly all the boys have been turned to girls, and she has her own fortress now. However, Numbuh 4's future self has formed a group called the Boys Next Door, an all-boys organization dedicated to fighting girls. Sally Sanban, Numbuh Three's granddaughter decides to defect to the BND, bringing a Girlifying Rifle with her. The BND then plans to reverse engineer the weapon into a raygun that can turn girls into boys, and plan an attack against Madam Margaret.

Unfortunately, Madam Margaret tracks Sally and finds the BND hideout. The BND only has one converted rifle, but tries to fight back anyway. While Sally leads the BND against Madam Margaret's army and while Margaret activates her Supergirlifier Cannon and girlifies the entire BND, Future Numbuh Four uses Margaret's time machine from Part 1 to teleport to the past right before the KND were turned into girls to warn them about Margaret's plan.

They go to Margaret's castle to rescue Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 3 saves the day with H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P., destroying Margaret's communicator. After Numbuh 3 says one of Numbuh 2's lines, Numbuh 1 tells Numbuh 3 that she should tell Margaret Numbuh 5 found a real school to send her too-- for life, as that means Margaret's going to be hauled off to the KND Prison. The Girl Squad disappears, Numbuh 4's hand turns back to normal and the castle is destroyed. Numbuh 4 doesn't have a clue who Future Numbuh 4 was and Future Numbuh 4 disappears back into the future after telling Numbuh 4 he regretted never asking out someone (most likely Numbuh 3). The KND head for home with Numbuh 3 cruising in H.I.P.P.I.E.-H.O.P., who gets smashed under one of the castle's towers and KND Global Command arrives and they take Margaret away. 75 years later, the boys and girls are playing together again.

During the credits, you see Ms. Margaret throwing her tantrum in front of the class.

[edit] Allusions

Numbuh 4 had his hand gloved, like the one that Luke Skywalker has since Return Of The Jedi

It may be a spoof on Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope where Future Numbuh 4 is Luke, the BND are the Rebel Alliance, Madam Margaret is Emperor Palpatine and the Girl Squad resembles the Stormtroopers.

Numbuh 1's girlified version seems to resemble Lucy from the comic/cartoon series Peanuts.
