The Mask interrupts a car chase scene for the movie after the getaway driver accidentally ruined The Mask's tacos by blowing them in his face. The Director calls Eastenegger about moving the film's location from Edge City to another because of The Mask's antics, but Mayor Tilton promises to make sure that The Mask won't be a bother since the film's presence will bring a lot of publicity to Edge City.

Nevertheless, The Mask's obnoxious antics and need to be in the film ruins a cargo ship explosion scene for the film, irritating The Director again, telling The Mask he can't be in the film. The Director films a scene outside Stanley's apartment, interrupting his early sleep for an exam at work to help him with a raise. Lt. Kellaway and Doyle, who are working with the film crew as security drags Stanley back into his apartment by The Director's demand. Stanley tries to sleep again, but the film's scene being made outside angers him enough to demand to stop before being tripping on a bunch of actors for the scene and seeing Sly Eastenegger here for his role.

After The Mask annoys Eastenegger during the filming of another action scene and decides on a Last Action Hero contest around Edge City against The Mask, The Director brings in the stolen bomb from the U.S. Government to be used for the film's climatic explosion to help Eastenegger in getting revenge on the film critics who give his last movie a negative review. But, Peggy, snooping about and hearing his scheme, gets tied up. The Director helps Eastenegger in winning the action star challenge against The Mask.
