Plot[]
This episode centers on Doofus, and takes place at a campsite, following the Junior Woodchucks's camping trip.
Doofus is frustrated that he's always slow and doesn't do things as well as the other Junior Woodchucks. Launchpad tries to encourage Doofus to keep doing his best but Doofus is still disappointed. Things only change when he finds a "donut" that gives him powers - the donut actually a power source from outer space that two alien robbers had accidentally dropped it on Earth. Once he wears the "donut," Doofus notices that he can do things quickly and efficiently. All of the other Woodchucks and Launchpad are amazed at Doofus's improvement, but then the other Woodchucks hate him for being so good. Doofus feels sad until he notices trouble, which causes him to decide to become a superhero named Superdoo.
The other Woodchucks wonder who Superdoo is. Huey, Dewey, and Louie think something suspicious is going on and eventually discover the reason behind Doofus's improvement; this makes them more mad at him than ever.
Doofus feels disappointed but is able to make it up by catching a wolf about to attack the others. After that, the other Woodchucks express appreciation for Doofus again.
