At the science fair, the exhibits are goofy:  vegetarian piranha fish, Hamburger Helper face cream and wrinkle-free bacon.  Unfortunately, Pamela's green potato project was rejected and she vows revenge.  Meanwhile, on the remote island of Malibula, something awful has happened at the "Unusual Bug Research Center."  The once friendly grasshoppers have turned nasty.  What has this to do with the science fair?  The face cream has the grasshoppers as a prime ingredient.  Anyone who slaps on the goop becomes...  no, it's too horrible to report!  The trapped students pin their hopes for rescue on Captain Cracknuckle and his SWAT team.
