Talking Ben's latest invention is gone! But even when they realise where it is, getting it back won't be easy.

IMDb
Talking Ginger gets one of Talking Ben's inventions confiscated by his teacher, so Talking Tom and Talking Angela head to the school to get it back. But their plan gets complicated when Tom learns that Ginger's is taught by Ms. Vanthrax, the scariest teacher that the town has ever seen. Now Tom's attempt to help his friend might land him in detention.

Plot
Ben turned the garage upside down because he lost his new invention. He's worried because he was supposed to submit the invention for an award. The invention would suck in pure water from up to 30 feet. Tom then realizes that he accidentally gave it to Ginger. Then, Ginger gets back from school and says that the invention was confiscated because Ginger used it to shoot spitballs. Ben was furious and leaps on Tom.

Tom explains that he was building a tower out of french toast, and Ginger asked to take it to school. Tom accepted, not knowing that Ginger was actually referring to the invention. Now, Tom says he could get Ginger's parents to pick it up, but sadly they were on vacation. So, Tom and Angela disguise themselves as Ginger's parents and go to the school.

Tom opens the classroom door to find the teacher that confiscated the invention was Velma Vanthrax. Tom is horrified because Vanthrax was also Tom's teacher when he was little. Angela brushes it off, telling Tom he's a grown man and he should just do it. They enter the door, get the invention, and try to go, but Vanthrax recognizes Tom and rips off his fake mustache. Vanthrax presses a button that bars the windows and doors, and activates a magnetic pole that attracted their cell phones. Vanthrax puts Tom, Angela and Ben in detention.

Tom was in his desk when he formulates an escape plan. He tries to carry it out, but the desk was too small for him and he got stuck and crashed to the ground. So, Vanthrax gives Tom double detention. Fortunately, Angela knew the school rules, one of which stated that students in detention can make one phone call. Angela calls Ben, who comes to get them.

Ben and Hank sneak into the school and make it to the ceiling vents. Ben leans on the vent grating over Vanthrax's classroom, but it caves in and Ben falls into the classroom. Vanthrax threatens Ben, but realizes that it was her favorite student, Ben. He tells Vanthrax that he needs the invention and to release Angela and Ginger, which Vanthrax agrees to. He explained his invention and walked out the door. However, Ben didn't let Tom go, since Tom was the one who gave Ginger his invention. Tom was stuck in the desk anyway.
