At the start of the race, the turkeys, geese, ducks, and chickens are released, but they are unnaturally aggressive and begin attacking the runners and anyone nearby.
They soon overrun the Wonder Wharf as Calvin and Felix quickly leave, and Linda is knocked unconscious by a one-eyed turkey dubbed "Cyclops."
Meanwhile, Bob, unaware of the chaos, stays in the apartment singing and dancing along to an old Donna Summer CD and getting drunk.
Linda, Teddy, and Mickey find the five kids still trapped on the teacups with Andy, Ollie, and Rudy and try to shut the ride down using its fail-safe.
Back at the Belcher residence the entire family sits down to enjoy Bob's dinner along with Teddy, Mickey, and Rudy as their guests; but lose their appetites upon seeing the cooked turkey; meanwhile, back at the Fischoeder residence Calvin and Felix enjoy dinner but are attacked by turkeys crashing through their window.
