Plot[]
The Buddies are back in their most epic adventure yet, when they find five magical power rings from the planet Inspiron. Each one gives them unique super powers. Budderball gets super strength, Buddha gets mind-control, RoseBud gets super speed, B-Dawg gets super elasticity, and MudBud gets invisibility. Together, the Buddies must use the rings responsibly with the help of Megasis/Captain Canine in order to stop a power-hungry extraterrestrial warlord named Commander Drex, who wants to steal the rings for his own and gain full dictatorship of Inspiron. The Buddies soon learn that you don't need to have super powers to become a superhero.
