What Happens in the Film?

Fearless Leader's Sneaky Plan

The bad guy, Fearless Leader, really wants to get rid of Rocky and Bullwinkle. He dreams of having their heads as trophies. So, he gives his spies, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale, a new mission. They must use a robot moose to trick Bullwinkle. Boris controls the robot from the inside. Their goal is to destroy Bullwinkle and Rocky too.

Bullwinkle Falls in Love

Rocky and Bullwinkle return to their town, Frostbite Falls. They just escaped from a Mayan temple. The town celebrates them with a special ceremony. Bullwinkle quickly becomes very interested in Boris's robot disguise. The two spend time together, and Boris keeps trying to harm Bullwinkle. But each time, Boris ends up having bad luck himself!

Meanwhile, Rocky feels left out. He follows his best friend and the robot everywhere. Soon, he finds out Bullwinkle has asked the robot moose to marry him. The narrator then tells us to wait for the next part of the story.

Bullwinkle's Poetry Corner

In a special part of the show called "Bullwinkle's Poetry Corner," Bullwinkle reads a poem. It turns out to be a rap song by Eminem. Bullwinkle only reads three words before he stops. He realizes the song has words that are not for kids. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Bullwinkle can't finish the song. He ends the sketch early. He promises that next week he will read from the works of Mr. Fifty Cents.

The Wedding and the Big Finish

Back in the main story, Rocky arrives to stop the wedding. It's happening on a cruise ship. But Bullwinkle and the robot moose are already married! Bullwinkle dances with the robot. Rocky then discovers that Boris was the one who tricked Bullwinkle. He tries to stop Boris, but Natasha steps in. She challenges Rocky to a duel.

Boris eventually gets tired of the act. He gets hit with a bowling ball and tries to escape. He plans to leave the robot bride to explode and get rid of Bullwinkle. However, he finds out Fearless Leader took his parachute! Boris falls into the ocean with Natasha. Rocky saves Bullwinkle at the last moment. He knocks the robot moose off the ship. It explodes right in Boris and Natasha's faces! Then, a shark quickly eats the two spies.

Bullwinkle and Rocky make up. They promise never to let anything come between them again. But then, Rocky falls in love with a female explosive mechanical squirrel!

After the Credits
