"Monster-teers" Angelo, Nick, and Carter team up with Angie, Tiffany, and Dana to investigate a Dr. Frankenstein type creating superhuman football players. When tagalong Cody is abducted by Dr. Dippel, they must return to the mad scientist's lab to rescue him. Boys-versus-girls banter (eventually developing into camaraderie), mildly gross jokes, and a goofy monster sidekick keep this supernatural adventure on the light side.
