Meanwhile, a mean bear called Grizzle, who doesn't understand the Care Bears and their "caring stuff", has a new plan to conquer Care-a-Lot. He creates a "ride" called the "CareTaker" that steals the Care Bears' belly badges. But he needs three ingredients to make the CareTaker work: a smiling sun (Funshine's symbol), a crying stormy cloud (Grumpy's symbol) and a lovely rainbow (Cheer's symbol). He sends out Wingnut on a mission to Care-a-Lot to get the three ingredients. When Wingnut meets Oopsy, they became friends. So, Wingnut takes his new friend to Grizzle's lair. Grizzle tells Oopsy that he created a new ride but in return, Oopsy must gather the sunshine, the stormy cloud and the rainbow.
Oopsy and Wingnut return to Care-a-Lot and later come back to Grizzle's lair with the sunshine and the storm cloud but Grizzle isn't happy with the rainbow that's painted on Oopsy's backside and says that they need a "real" rainbow. Oopsy uses the whistle to call Cheer. Grizzle locks Oopsy and Cheer into a cage and he tells them about his plans of get all the belly badges of all the Care Bears and conquer Care-a-Lot, and he leaves.
Oopsy feels bad about the situation, but Cheer cheers him and helps him figure out a solution to save the day. Suddenly, Oopsy sees one of his tools and uses it to open the bars. When Oopsy and Cheer returned to Care-a-Lot, they see that Grizzle stole all the Care Bears' belly badges and has stored them a translucent ball. Grizzle announced his intentions to use belly badge magic to conquer Care-a-Lot, but when he tries, the magic doesn't work for him. Oopsy pointed out that the magic works only for the Care Bears and those who care. Grizzle then tries to use the Funderbolt ride to destroy the belly badges and manages to destroy the ball. All the Care Bears get upset about the situation. Oopsy urges every Care Bear to hold each other and remember who they are and how much they care. The magic comes back, as well the belly badges to every Care Bear excluding Oopsy, who drew his own. Wingnut decides to stay with the Care Bears and sends Grizzle to his lair. The next day, when WooHoo World is opened, Grumpy names a newly added part of the Funderbolt: a corkscrew
-shaped ride called "Oopsy Loopsy".
