Plot
Following the death of Guy and Kelly Hamdon's great aunt Agnes Monroe, the Hamdon family ends up inheriting Agnes' house. While they're moving in, Guy and his best friend Maz Kepler skateboard on a half pipe outside and have the time of their lives. Kelly demands that Guy help her unpack stuff for their new house, but Guy refuses claiming that he and Maz they're in the middle of a "board meeting" jokingly. As the two of them laugh at their little joke Kelly grows mad at Guy, so he nervously calls the "board meeting" adjourned. Guy and Kelly then go into the basement to organize their things while Maz explains to one of the movers how the two of them inherited the house.
In the basement, Guy starts throwing random stuff out of boxes to finish quickly including aunt Agnes' Lamp, aunt Agnes' good china, and even the urn containing aunt Agnes' remains. The latter knocks against the back wall, where a hidden vault door opens revealing inside a mysterious pink ring with an 'S' on it. Kelly grows excited about it and asks Guy if he knows what it is? Guy says it looks like their Aunt's tacky ring that she kept hidden in the wall. Kelly says yes to that, but adds on that this means that aunt Anges was secretly a superhero named SheZow, as seen in a comic that she carries around.
Kelly confesses her dreams of being SheZow her whole life, and says that she's fully willing to carry on her family legacy of crime fighting. Guy in disbelief takes the ring from her insisting that aunt Agnes was not SheZow. As a joke, Guy wears the ring and mocks the lifestyle of SheZow. He ends his mocking by saying the phrase: "You Go Girl" which acts as the phrase to activate the ring, unintentionally transforming him into SheZow much to Kelly's shock.
Kelly sees the transformation and laughs uncontrollably with Guy being completely unaware of what just transpired. Kelly shoves Guy close enough to a mirror so he could see himself, and Guy is left horrified by the fact that the ring turned him into SheZow.
Guy panicks and tried to get the suit and the ring off, saying that Kelly can have the ring back. Kelly said that it can not be taken off, saying that the SheZow legend clearly states that whoever shall wear the ring shall forever bear the responsibility of SheZow.
Horrified at the notion of being stuck like as SheZow for the rest of his life, Guy lets out a sonic scream which causes the mirror to shatter and break. Behind the mirror, they discover a secret door inside it into SheZow's secret lair, the She-Lair. They enter the lair, discovering its wonders within. They are soon greeted by Sheila, Aunt Agnes' supercomputer who scans Guy and realizes that the mantle of SheZow has been passed.
When they're getting to know each other, Shelia reports a "she-mergency" explaining that the Pushy Pirate Posse is approaching Megadale, snatching up rare, valuable, and expensive objects. Sheila asks Guy if he's ready? Guy says no, so Sheila reveals SheZow's car, the Shehicle. After he sees the car, Guy graciously says ok.
Driving around the city of Megadale, Guy tests out the Shehicle's functions and later decides to test his new powers out. They stop by a water tower to test the powers. They begin with flying skills, where Kelly doesn't tell Guy until after he crashes to the ground that SheZow can't fly. In grief, Guy leans on a building with his hand and the building crumbles, revealing his new super strength. He plays around to test his superhero abilities/gadgets with said abilities and gadgets being super speed, She-SP, and the boomerang brush among several others.
Guy senses that their dad Boxter Hamdon (who is a police officer) needs help for something in need. They head down to the city where the Pushy Pirate Posse is riling up townsfolk. While the pirates are riling up the townsfolk, Boxter and another officer decide to stop the pirates from stealing from the citizens. Guy passes by in the mix of things and almost says hi to Boxter before Kelly reminds him that he's currently SheZow. Boxter doesn't like SheZow because they think that she's doing more than what the police are doing, and it would kill him to know that his chip-off-the-old-block is now his nemesis.
The pirates fire cannonballs to aim at the road that SheZow's driving. As the cannonballs are fired at the road, SheZow continuously avoids them, but ends up going off the road. The supercar flies to the pirate's ship, causing it to break and sink. Afterward, the supercar turns into a super submarine, and everyone heads home.
Guy wants to turn back to his old self again, but unable to dons a disguise so as not to create suspicion. During supper, the Hamon family discusses SheZow's performance that day, and Guy and Kelly's mom Droosha Hamdon gives a toast to aunt Agnes. She remarks that although Agnes is gone, she feels like little pieces of her spirit live on in each of them.
Kelly jokes that some people in the family have her spirit more than others. Kelly's joking angers Guy and he kicks Kelly out of the room, literally. Max grows suspicious and looked under the table to discover SheZow's heeled boots. Maz gets shocked by this and tells Guy that they need to talk.
Max uncontrollably laughs as he learned that Guy is SheZow all along. Kelly asked that Guy wanted to change back to now? Guy replies: "She-yeah" unexpectedly turning him back to his old self again much to his and Kelly's surprise. Kelly states that Guy wears on to be a one great SheZow, and Guy laughs nervously.
