Talking Tom and Talking Ben are desperate because Talking Ginger always beats them in the popular MMO game they're playing. The only option they've got left is to use a cheat code. But is it the best thing to do?

Talking Tom and Talking Ben are learning to play the popular video game "SquareStack," but Talking Ginger is so much better than them they'll never catch up. They decide to cheat, and enjoy impressing everyone with their SquareStack skills. But then the cheat they've used gets out of control and starts destroying the game. Now they're playing for some high stakes - the fate of the SquareStack universe.

Plot
Tom and Ben have just built a wooden house in a VR game called SquareStack, calling them themselves "naturally gifted." Ginger mocks them, and takes them to his building, which turned out to be a luxurious medieval castle. Then a Zapper appeared; it tried to attack the building but is intimidated by Ginger's cannon. It finds Tom's wood shack, and gives it one zap, reducing it to shreds.

Angela asks Tom for help in the real world to help her sign up for a rock festival, but Tom was more willing to get better in the game. So, Ben tries to reach Builder X, an elite player, by tracking his location and meeting him in person.

At his base, they find that Builder X is really Ronnie, Tom's scout. Tom asks him for any shortcuts to the game, but Ronnie was unwilling to help. Then, Tom offers to let Ronnie make the first s'more on their next Scout Boy trip, which delights him. Ronnie gives Tom a suitcase with a thumb drive that doubled the resources. However, Ronnie gives Tom a dire warning never to modify the code.

Meanwhile, Angela surveyed the people in the cafe what the perfect song should be about, but to no avail; everyone had different opinions. Back at the garage, Tom and Ben use the cheat code to build luxurious mansions, but Ginger appears with a working aircraft shaped like his head. The zappers come along and destroy Tom and Ben's mansions once again. They decide it was time to change the code.

Instead of doubling the resources, Ben changed the code so it gave him 1000 times more resources. They built a luxurious tower, much better than their previous attempts. They see Angela in the real world, who is struggling to write the perfect song. Tom gives Angela the idea that she should write about all things good.

Ginger and Ronnie burst in, mad at them for altering the code. They enter the game to see large swarms of Zappers, destroying everything in sight. Apparently the code multiplied the zapper count by 1000. So, they hatch a plan. Tom and Hank approach a zapper swarm, and are chased onto Hank's hill. Meanwhile, Ben and Ginger were madly building a rocket.

Once it was finished, Tom and Hank were catapulted into the giant rocket, and the huge swarm followed them into the trap. Ginger steps on a button that closes the top, and Hank and Tom walk out a side door. The rocket is activated and the Zappers are blasted into space.

They realized that they should not have modified the code, and Angela comes in with her perfect song. What they didn't realize, however, was that the SquareStack world wasn't infinite; once the rocket hit the end, the end border cracked, allowing the Zappers to chew their way out of the digital world.
