In this sequel to Donuthead, Franklin's health risk factors have shot up now that he is in middle school. His science teacher spits when he talks and young Ms Matthews wears outfits that make Franklin blush. He is also unable to make himself pee in the school bathrooms. Also, Franklin's friend Sarah is actively fulfilling her dream of competing in figure skating, thanks to support from Franklin's mother and Gloria Nelots, Franklin's favorite staffer at the National Safety Department in Washington, DC. But when Sarah's father loses his job it looks like she may have to abandon her skating dreams. It will be up to Franklin to leave his personal safety zone to show Sarah how much people care about what happens to her.
