At SVT, Vicky's super villain training school, she and her best friend, Will Wickedson, learn that they need to compete in an epic obstacle course with a villain pet. There's just one major problem: unlike her SVT classmates, Vicky doesn't have a villain pet!

Luckily, Granny knows exactly where they need to visit, and Vicky adopts the most adorable bunny and names him Captain! Vicky is excited to tackle the SVT obstacle course with her new pet by her side until she realizes that Captain is plotting to outsmart her!
