Plot

Drake Parker (Bell) and Josh Nichols (Peck)'s parents leave to go on a ten-day cruise, leaving Drake and Josh in charge. But when Drake and Josh accidentally put their little sister Megan (Miranda Cosgrove) on the wrong flight to Los Angeles, when she was supposed to visit her friend, Jessica in Denver, Colorado, Drake and Josh leave to search for her in L.A., Once Drake and Josh figure out that she is okay, they decide to stay in L.A. for a while. But, Josh finds out that his G.O. (an MP3 player) was accidentally replaced with another guy's G.O. When the guy and his companion have a little "talk" with Drake and Josh on the G.O's, Drake and Josh run around L.A in a stolen Viper which happens to be Tony Hawk's.

When they think they have lost them, Drake and Josh get pulled over by the F.B.I. But, the two "cops" happen to be two more guys who work with the other two guys. They kidnap Drake and Josh and take them to a warehouse and lock them away. Back when Drake and Josh were at the airport back in San Diego, Josh watched the news about some crooks who stole a monetary printing press from the U.S Treasury Department three days ago. Josh figures out that they were the crooks. After making $500 million, the crooks decide that they are going to try to drown Drake and Josh.

Meanwhile, Megan finds one of the crooks wallet in her hotel room. She has her limousine driver take her to the warehouse, where she finds Drake and Josh. She alerts the police, but the connection goes out. Therefore, she sneaks into the warehouse and cuts on the large fan, which blows around all of the money. In all of the chaos, Drake and Josh finally escape after a large action sequence. The police come and arrest the crooks for money making. Megan uses some of the money she acquires from the warehouse to help her get to Denver, giving it as a tip to the limo driver. Josh remembers that he met a guy in the hotel bathroom about having Drake to play on TRL. As a reward for capturing the crooks, the police offers to give Drake an escort to Sunset Studios. They drive to TRL using Tony Hawk's Viper, which Tony's manager gives them permission to use because he has three more. They arrive to TRL in time, which Drake performs his new song, "Hollywood Girl". After his performance, Drake and Josh cruise around and enjoy L.A with their dates.
