A Bio Matter Converter accidentally activates and pulls Ratchet and Clank into a Secret Agent Clank vid-comic. They find a teleporter inside and, after fighting through waves of Megacorp security forces, reach a Communications Station where they contact Big Al in the real world. He tells them about a device called the MCGuFIN that can return them to analog reality — but it has been split into six pieces, each hidden inside a different vid-comic. After collecting all six, they discover they need an Infolink from the office of Secret Agent Clank's nemesis Maximilian, who has already used the same Infolink to escape into the real world with plans of his own. They chase him down, defeat him, and finally make it back.
