Plot[]
Action Mask's 'Action Stone' has been robbed by Leotard Devil (originally named Higure). Without the Action Stone, he cannot return to his world. So he chooses Shinnosuke and his family to get back his stone by making sure Action Card 99 (the most rare and valuable collectible in Choco Chips) ends up in the Choco Chip pack Shinnosuke purchases. One day, Shinnosuke and his family (his mother Misae, his father Hiroshi and his pet dog Shiro) travel to a beach for vacationing when they are suddenly met by a mysterious man who leads the Nohara family towards what seems like a ride of some sort. Shinnosuke and his family board the ride after Shinnosuke gives the man the Action Card 99. The man turns out to be Action Mask, and the ride is evidently a transportation device taking the Nohara family to a parallel world. He and Mimiko (Action Mask's friend) did so as to prompt the Nohara family to defeat Higure.
The next day, they get a message from Action Mask asking them for help to save the world from the other solar system's clutch through newspapers. Half of Japan's population; Saitama Prefecture, etc. have been converted into Higure people through a beam that causes all humans to become Higures. Higure people then arrive to attack the Nohara Family, who is fortunately saved by the arrival of Ririko (Mimiko's twin sister). The Nohara Family think that a film shooting is going on, but Ririko is able to convince them that they are not in their own world. Dr. North Kasukabe (Action Mask's close acquaintance) also arrives and stores the second Action Stone in a candy wrapper while he goes to the loo. Unfortunately, Shinnosuke swallows the Action Stone, mistaking it for a candy.
The principal of Futaba Kindergarten (along with Shinnosuke's friends and teacher Ms. Yoshinaga) arrive warning the Nohara family about Higure's men's arrival. The Nohara family along with Dr. North Kasukabe, Ririko run to the bus. Suddenly, Higure Man's henchman Tea Pack Man arrives to steal the action stone but Shinnosuke wards him off. Higure messages him and says to leave them. Along the way, Ume Matsuzaka (Shinnosuke's teacher) joins the group before learning all the information regarding the Action Stone.
Dr. North Kasukabe tells the Principal to drive towards his secret laboratory where they are supposedly safe. Upon arrival, Matsuzaka reveals that she is a spy from the Higures before removing the special barrier protecting the laboratory. Then, the Rope Ladies and their team arrives (Higure's trustworthy). Unfortunately, everyone gets attacked and gets converted to Higure people by the Higure beam but, Ririko, Misae and Shinnosuke escape. Ririko leads Misae and Shinnosuke to a speacial tricycle that unfortunately is built to only withstand a weight of 40 kilograms, meaning only Shinnosuke and Shiro can move forward.
Shinnosuke along with Shiro and travels to Higure's base, with the tricycle empowering Shiro to talk and assist Shinnosuke and in operating the tricycle's arsenal. He defeats the Rogue Ladies and Tea Pack man, the latter results in a huge explosion destroying the tricycle. Shiro then is no longer able to assist Shinnosuke any longer as Shinnosuke travels to Higure's base alone.
Shinnosuke confronts Higure. Higure takes out the action stone from his stomach and breaks it. Then a rumpus happen between them and original action stone gets revealed which Higure robbed from Action Mask. Shinnosuke uses the Action Stone to call Action Mask for help. Higure then challenges the duo to series of games, with the final one being a sword duel. After a long and tough battle, Action Mask seems to have been defeated, but he and Shinnosuke use the Action Stone to let out a powerful Action Beam that defeats Higure, who returns to his Solar System. The Nohara family, Shinnosuke's friends, teachers and principal, Mimiko & Ririko along with Dr. North Kasukabe arrive as peace is restored and all humans affected with the Higure Beam transform back into humans.
The movie ends with Shinnosuke receiving a special gift from Action Mask and him and his mother quarrelling.
