Just before the ceremony, a <a href="/wiki/Meteorite" title="Meteorite">meteorite</a> from a destroyed planet strikes her, and its radiation is absorbed into her body. Though she initially appears unharmed, during the ceremony, the energy causes Susan to grow fifty feet tall, accidentally destroying the church in the process.

(Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate), a brainless and living indestructible mass of blue goo that is a result of a food flavoring mutation; the Missing Link, a prehistoric 20,000-year-old fish-ape hybrid who was thawed from deep ice by scientists; and Insectosaurus, a massive <a href="/wiki/Insect" title="Insect">bug</a> mutated by <a href="/wiki/Ionizing_radiation" title="Ionizing radiation">nuclear radiation</a> standing 350 feet in height that attacked <a href="/wiki/Tokyo,_Japan" class="mw-redirect" title="Tokyo, Japan">Tokyo, Japan</a>. Susan is renamed “Ginormica" by the <a href="/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States" title="Federal government of the United States">government</a> and is forbidden any contact with her friends and family. </p><p>Meanwhile, on a mysterious spaceship, a <a href="/wiki/Squid" title="Squid">squid</a>-like <a href="/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life" title="Extraterrestrial life">extraterrestrial</a> overlord named Gallaxhar is alerted to the presence of a powerful substance known as "quantonium", and sends a gigantic robotic probe to retrieve it. The probe lands on Earth, where the <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">President of the United States</a> attempts to make <a href="/wiki/First_contact_(science_fiction)" title="First contact (science fiction)">first contact</a> with it by playing "<a href="/wiki/Axel_F" title="Axel F">Axel F</a>" on a <a href="/wiki/Electric_keyboard" class="mw-redirect" title="Electric keyboard">keyboard</a>, but the probe goes on a destructive attack, heading straight for <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco" title="San Francisco">San Francisco</a>, despite unsuccessful attempts by the U.S. Armed Forces to destroy it. Monger convinces the President to grant the monsters their freedom if they can stop the probe. In San Francisco, the robot detects the quantonium within Ginormica's body and targets her. At the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge" title="Golden Gate Bridge">Golden Gate Bridge</a>, the monsters manage to destroy the giant robot by using parts of the bridge itself; ergo, the government honors their deal with the monsters and sets them free. </p><p>Gallaxhar sets a course for Earth to obtain the quantonium himself while the now-free Ginormica returns home with her new friends and reunites with her family. While the monsters cause a ruckus in Ginormica's backyard with her family due to their lack of social experience, she reunites with Derek at his TV station. Derek breaks off his engagement with the latter, unwilling to be with someone who would overshadow his career. Initially heartbroken, Ginormica soon realizes that her life was better as a monster and she swears to the other monsters to never go back to her original self again. Suddenly, Ginormica is pulled into Gallaxhar's ship by a tractor beam. Insectosaurus tries to save her but is shot down by Gallaxhar and seemingly killed. </p><p>Onboard the ship, Ginormica furiously breaks free from her prison cell and chases down Gallaxhar, only to be trapped by a machine that extracts the quantonium from her body, shrinking her back to her original size. Gallaxhar then uses the extracted quantonium to create <a href="/wiki/Cloning" title="Cloning">clones</a> of himself in order to launch a full-scale invasion of Earth. Monger manages to get B.O.B, Link, and Dr. Cockroach on board the ship, where they rescue Ginormica and make their way to the main power core where Dr. Cockroach sets the ship to self-destruct to prevent the invasion. After a confrontation with Gallaxhar on the bridge, Ginormica sends a ball of stored quantonium down on herself, restoring her monstrous size and strength. After rescuing her friends, they flee the ship and are rescued by Monger and Insectosaurus, who had <a href="/wiki/Metamorphosis" title="Metamorphosis">metamorphosed</a> into a giant <a href="/wiki/Butterfly" title="Butterfly">butterfly</a>. The ship then self-destructs, killing Gallaxhar and his army. </p><p>Returning to Modesto, Ginormica, B.O.B, Dr. Cockroach, Link, and Butterflyosaurus receive a hero's welcome. Hoping to give himself a career boost, Derek tries to get back with Susan, but she rejects and humiliates him live on camera in retaliation for his selfishness.
