Dolphy plays Dondoy, a humble tricycle driver who was the ardent admirer of Annabel (Key). At first, Dondoy was often ridiculed by Annabel's sister Estelga (Delgado) and her mother (de Villa), who later became kind as the story progresses. The real Darna (Brenda Del Rio) in the Darna, Kuno? storyline became pregnant. Based on the story, Darna was impregnated by the Japanese anime robots Voltes V and Mazinger Z. Because of the pregnancy someone had to take Darna’s place temporarily as the superheroine until she had given birth. The original Darna lent her magical stone (the stone that transforms Narda, Darna's alter-ego, into Darna when swallowed and the name Darna is shouted aloud) to Dolphy's character Dondoy who will become the male Darna dressed up in the female Darna costume. Dolphy as Darna or more specifically the Darna Pretender or replacement had to fight tikbalangs, aswangs, and other enemies. Annabel became the other Darna Kuno in the story, as she stole the magical stone from Dolphy after finding out Darna Kuno’s secret identity. Both male and female Darna Pretenders fought and defeated alien invaders. The true Darna returned to retrieve her magical stone carrying her baby who was already wearing a Darna costume.
