The episode begins with Johnny testing a new invention for his sisters, a hula hoop capable of transforming any subject into someone else as long as there is a DNA sample in it. Johnny transforms into Dukey, and seems to like it, even saying that he could lick his backside if he wanted, disgusting the girls. Soon after, Johnny changes back to the normal him, and Susan tells him that, the bigger the sample, the longer the effect lasts. Johnny takes the hoop, saying that it's the best thing he ever saw, but doesn't end the sentence as he notices the covered Turbo Action Backpack. The girls show it to him, and Mary tells him that it is programmed to execute voice commands. Johnny takes it and orders it to bath Dukey. After the bath is done, Dukey doesn't seem to like it. Susan takes it, and covers it, saying that they'll take it tomorrow at the university. As Johnny wants to take it, he gets slapped on the hand by the Backpack. Mary than takes it away, and the scene changes to Johnny's school.

In front of the school, Dukey tells Johnny about the school hierarchy being based on the backpacks. Johnny trips on his old backpack and falls, then asks Dukey what he's talking about. Dukey explains him, and tells him that at the bottom of the popularity chain is Johnny and his old backpack, asking him how come he got it. Johnny sighs, and a flashback from the past shows how Johnny got that backpack. In the flashback, his father forced Johnny to use it, saying that he was forced to use it too. The scene than moves to the dining hall, where Johnny staples his backpack. When he finishes, he says that he hates the backpack, and throws it on the floor. Janet than shows up and tells him that the whole school is laughing at his backpack. Johnny says it is not true, but she says that's because he placed it on the floor. Johnny than rises the backpack, and everyone in the dining hall starts laughing. As he hides it, nothing but a cricket is heard in the dining hall, and, as Johnny shows it up again, everyone starts laughing again. As Johnny hides the backpack again, Janet says she's sorry, but, as she leaves, she says she's not. Angered, Johnny plans to steal the Amazing Turbo Action Backpack from the lab during the night.

The scene than moves to the lab, where Johnny and Dukey fight a shark that was in the secret passage Johnny and Dukey got through to reach the lab. As they send the shark back, Johnny wonders when Susan and Mary added sharks in there. Then, Johnny takes the Turbo Action Backpack, and replaces it with his old backpack.

The scene than moves to the next morning, outside, where Johnny struggles to insert his books in the backpack. Johnny says that the backpack may be amazing, but it's too small. In response, the backpack makes Johnny's books smaller. Dukey looks amazed, but tells Johnny that he'll still be late. Johnny than tells the backpack to go very fast, making it change into a car, which takes Johnny and Dukey in it, and in a few seconds, they reach the school. Two of Johnny's classmates than show up, and admire Johnny's backpack. As Johnny takes it off, he says that he'd wish he could skip the French class, making the backpack release a ball-like holograms projector, which scans Johnny and his classmates, than shows them in the classroom. One of Johnny's classmates asks him what else the backpack can do.
