Plot

Many years ago, mollusk-like aliens enslaved planets with their hypnotic amulet. However, during the pre-Columbian era, an anthropomorphic condor immune to hypnosis stole the amulet, de-hypnotizing the humans and causing the aliens to retreat to their planet, but with a promise to return. The Condor and his friends hid the amulet in a temple in a Mexican jungle, and over the years, the Condor had several descendants.

In the present day, in Pelotillehue city, Condorito and his friends win a soccer match against Buenas Peras team. During an interview, Condorito flirts with reporters, leading to Yayita electrocuting him and leaving with Pepe Cortisona to buy a hot air balloon for Tremebunda's birthday, Yayita's mother.

Meanwhile, Coné receives a video call from Emperor Molosco, who wishes to take over the galaxy. Condorito mistakes him for a phone company provider and makes a deal with him to kidnap Doña Tremebunda in exchange for finding the amulet. During Tremebunda's 59th birthday party, her husband Don Cuasimodo accidentally burns her cake and gifts her an electric razor. Later, Condorito gives Yayita the same razor, which angers Tremebunda. As they are interrupted by an extraterrestrial ship, Condorito realizes the misunderstanding and tells Molosco he didn't want him to take Tremebunda. Molosco gives him 24 hours to find the amulet, or he won't see Tremebunda again. Yayita is angry with Condorito for kidnapping her mother and separates from him.

Forced to search for the amulet to rescue his mother-in-law, Condorito travels to Condor Tihuacan with Coné to find the Catacombs of Death, where the amulet is protected by his ancestors. He retrieves the amulet and gives it to Molosco, who reveals his intention to conquer Tremebunda, make her his empress, and invade Earth. Condorito travels into space to save Tremebunda while his friends keep Yayita away from Pepe Cortisona.
