Kick and Gunther, with the help of Wade, set out to rescue students stranded on a school bus in a snowstorm, while Kendall, the class president, tries to take control over the situation.

Kick adopts an escaped chimp, which he names Dr. Awesome, but has to keep it a secret due to his bad track record of keeping pets. Trouble soon erupts when the zoo's other chimps escape, presumably in search of Dr. Awesome, their leader, and cause mania throughout the cul-de-sac.

Kick is stoked to be going on an overnight camping trip, since he hopes to "become a man". However, there is an obstacle, the "rustic campsite", is too civilized for his liking. After that false start, Kick and Brad have a true test to complete.

Kick challenges a physics-obsessed street racing crew, led by bullying nerd Ronaldo in a winner-takes-all race on Mt. Hurtsmore which pits the laws of physics against the "laws of awesome". To defeat the competition, Kick and Gunther turn to school woodshop teacher One-Eyed Jackson, a legendary go-cart racer, for help.

Kick has to save his dad's birthday when the ice cream truck breaks down, and must prevent a group of 3rd Street Bandits from getting their hands on some extremely rare and delicious ice cream, the Cowboy Kelly Bars.
