Two women, Kari and Jolene, walk into the kitchen of a typical suburban, American house. Jolene turns on a home video camera on a tripod and Kari walks up to the pantry and pulls out an ice cream bowl and puts it on the kitchen floor. Jolene lowers her pants and defecates into the ice cream bowl. Kari lies on the floor licking and consuming the fresh faeces. Kari gets off the floor and squats over the ice cream cup where she urinates on the ice cream bowl. Jolene lies on the floor licking up the newly created urine-faeces concoction.

Following on from the plot of the last movie, four babies can communicate with each other using 'baby talk', and have knowledge of many secrets. The baby geniuses become involved in a scheme by [[media mogul]] Bill Biscane ([[Jon Voight]]), later revealed to be known as Kane, who kidnaps children everywhere. Helping the geniuses is a legendary superbaby named Kahuna (he became powerful due to drinking a special chemical, much to the envy of his brother Kane), who stops Biscane's plots and saves children from being kidnapped by Biscane and his minions. He joins up with several other babies in an attempt to stop Biscane, who intends to use a state-of-the-art satellite system to control the world's population by brainwashing them and forcing people to not be active and watch TV the rest of their lives. |

Plot
Two women, Kari and Jolene, walk into the kitchen of a typical suburban, American house. Jolene turns on a home video camera on a tripod and Kari walks up to the pantry and pulls out an ice cream bowl and puts it on the kitchen floor.

Kari gets off the floor and squats over the ice cream cup where she urinates on the ice cream bowl. Jolene lies on the floor licking up the newly created urine-faeces concoction. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, walks into the kitchen holding a pet goat on a leash. Kari and Jolene alternate as the goat is made to penetrate the stars. Afterwards, Wales takes the goat and the ice cream bowl and leaves the kitchen. The two stars take turns squatting as the other vomits in the former's mouth. Realizing that the camera did not have any tape inside, Kari takes the camera off the tripod and defecates into the tape deck. Kari takes a silver colored permanent marker off of the kitchen counter and writes "Baby Geniuses" on the side of the camera. They mail the camera to a film executive who produces the film "Baby Geniuses". The women return to the kitchen and Kari takes an ice cream bowl out of the pantry and places it on the floor.
