Summary[]
In a lab experiment that goes horribly wrong, Prof. Steven Boxleitner accidentally fuses his mind with that of his vicious lab mouse and becomes the villainous Dr. Two-Brains. Becky (aka WordGirl) tries to distract her little brother TJ so she can transform into WordGirl and capture Dr. Two-Brains before he goes on a cheese-stealing rampage.
Plot[]
Prof. Boxleitner
In the lab of the brilliant Professor Boxleitner (a friend of Wordgirl) a strange experiment is about to take place. He is preparing to do an experiment with a vicious lab mouse named Squeaky that will allow him to “peer into the depths of the rodent intellect”. He then becomes distracted by the smell of his pastrami sandwich cooking nearby, and leaves Squeaky alone to go check on it. As he exits the room, he asks the Narrator to make sure Squeaky doesn’t press the “HOLY COW! Don’t press this BUTTON!” button, but the Narrator frantically explains that he doesn’t have any control over the actions of the characters, Steven returns with his sandwich just in time to see Squeaky press the button.
Meanwhile in the city, Becky is fretting over her bad grade to Bob, just as TJ jumps out and spooks her.
Dr. Two Brains, revealing his new identity after the experiment went disasterously wrong.
TJ laughs at Becky for “getting her” while Becky insists he only “got her” because she was distracted. Just then, the figure of a man with spiky white hair rushes past them. When Becky remarks that the man seems distracted and defines it to mean “not paying attention to what he’s doing”, TJ mocks her for thinking she’s Wordgirl. They see the man steal a bag of Cheese Thingies from a young boy, and Becky goes up to confront him. As he turns around she recognizes the man to be none other than her close friend, Professor Boxleitner. His DNA seems to have been altered with that of Squeaky's, as his hair has gone from brown to white, his eyes have turned red, and he now has a second brain of the left side of his head and has grown whiskers.
He explains that

he is no longer Steven Boxleitner, and his new name is Dr. Two Brains. He appears to be insane, as the very thought of cheese makes him give a high-pitched evil laugh. He then goes running off, presumably to steal some cheese. Becky suggests that TJ goes home so she can follow Two Brains as WordGirl, but TJ refuses to go home until she does. The short ends with Becky trying to find a way to get rid of TJ so she can stop Dr. Two Brains.
