Robin collected information and the creators of the Teen Titans Go! cartoon, Michael and Aaron, then led the Teen Titans to San Pedro where Michael was from. They knocked on a door and met his father, Albert. Albert introduced himself then his three dogs Puno, Tutu, and Louis and a cat named Zoli and a pigeon. He tried to invite them in for shrimps and prime rib but they just wanted to know where Michael was. Albert tried to tell them about turning make-believe real but they couldn't understand what he was saying. He asked why Aaron's name came before his son's in the credits. He mistook Raven calling Michael lazy and set his pets after them. They ran away.
The Teen Titans set off for their vacation to Los Angeles. To their chagrin, Robin looked for a good deal and got them the floor of Albert Jelenic's son's old room in his house in San Pedro rather than a fancy hotel on Venice Beach. To add insult to injury, everywhere they wanted to go was one hour and 30 minutes away from San Pedro. Albert Jelenic reminded them about his famous shrimp and prime rib specialty then went to retrieve his recipe book out of his high-security safe but it was stolen. As part of a plan to get the Titans to visit overlooked places around the world, Jelenic made up a story about an evil longshoreman named Carl Sanpedro who stole the book so he could steal the world's greatest dishes. Robin took the bait and followed planted foot prints to a local ballet studio where the Titans met famous ballet dancer Mindy Oakland. She would only answer their questions if they practiced ballet with her. After some agonizing moments, they went to a local Gut Gushers and tried the signature sandwich. They "gushed" cheese all over the restaurant. Cyborg noticed mustard footprints inside.
They followed it to the maritime museum and were enamored with the USS Iowa. They admitted San Pedro was better than an overpriced theme park and totally a place a person could spend two to three hours at. Starfire saw Carl Sanpedro step out of the museum's gift shop. They chased him to the pier's shipping container yard but Carl leaped atop one and activated a mech. He blasted them into a container. Robin rallied them to utilize the power of San Pedro. They performed a saute and leaped over the mech to the Iowa. They jammed gut gushers into the turrets and fired the sandwiches into the mech's open mouth. It exploded from the overload of cheese. Carl, however, escaped in the chaos. They returned to Albert Jelenic's home and he pretended to have deduced Carl got away. Beast Boy admitted they learned San Pedro could be a hidden gem. The Titans vowed to travel the world and retrieve the stolen recipe book.
After relishing in getting to say "gumshoe" over and over, Jelenic told the Titans about a Carl Sanpedro sighting but made them guess first. Beast Boy hoped it was New York City but Jelenic shot him down. Raven guessed Paris. Jelenic answered the same. Starfire guessed the pyramids of Egypt. Jelenic answered the same. Robin demanded he just them them. Jelenic complied and told them he was spotted in Jamaica. The Titans were stoked but Robin ruined it by declaring it would be an educational trip. Robin set a 36 hour time limit to capture Carl, per Gumshoe 101 rules, and made them beat box a cappella with him and they set off for Montego Bay.
