Ace Ventura Jr must follow in his father's (Ace Ventura) footsteps to save his mother from jail. In the beginning Ace is chasing a rat, he catches it and walks straight into the alligator habitat. Later in a dream Ace sees a panda (Ting Tang) being captured. Soon his mother is blamed for the theft. She asks if she can make one phone call. She calls Rex Ventura, Ace's grandfather.
At school the next day Ace hears that many of his classmates have lost their pets including his crush (Emma Lockhart) Laura. Laura has lost her pet emerald green koi fish. Ace goes to school the next day and talks to a boy nicknamed A-Plus. A-Plus has a hidden lab in his locker which Ace uses as his office. They believe Dr. Sickinger (Cullen Douglas) has stolen the panda because he has created a site called pandafanatic. Sickinger is a bit insane. It turns out that he used to work for Quenton Pennington, Jr. (Reed Alexander), a rich kid whose family motto is, "What a Pennington wants a Pennington gets." Dr. Sickenger is found to be innocent and so Ace must look for a new culprit. In the end Ace finds that Pennington Sr. (Brian Patrick Clarke) stole ting tang and other famous animals (Tabby the tabby, Princess the lap dog, Freedom the hawk, and Callypso the magic horse) and Pennington Jr. stole Ace's classmates pets.
Ace's father does not appear in this movie. It is stated that he disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle.[3]
