As the Joker and Harley Quinn wreak havoc in Gotham City, they are attacked by A.R.G.U.S. agents. The Joker escapes, but Harley is defeated and captured by Katana. Meanwhile, A.R.G.U.S.'s director Amanda Waller oversees the opening of a portal to another world. Six months later, she tasks Belle Reve inmates Harley, Deadshot, Clayface, Peacemaker, and King Shark with entering it to collect resources and implants time bombs in their necks that will explode in 72 hours unless they receive a signal from her regularly to discourage any escape attempts. Additionally, she blackmails Deadshot by threatening his daughter. As the squad enter the portal, their helicopter crashes in a world that Clayface calls an "Isekai" before they are ambushed by orcs and an army of knights, neither of whom they can understand. Despite repelling the orcs, they are captured by the knights and taken to a prison fortress. Elsewhere, Katana and several supervillains speak to a mysterious figure.

A royal court discusses the current war and their prisoners. Queen Aldora dismisses both the starving peasants and the squad's presence, but Princess Fione believes the latter may be of use and orders her elite knight Cecil to bring them to her. Meanwhile, following the squad's imprisonment, Clayface tries to escape, but the guards put magical handcuffs on him that negate his powers. They later meet an elite A.R.G.U.S. soldier named Rick Flag, who reveals he knows them, they are meant to serve as Waller's "Suicide Squad", their predecessors went missing six months ago, and he knows of an area where they can receive Waller's signal. Under threat of their bombs, Clayface releases the other inmates while the squad start a riot and successfully take over the prison. However, they are re-confronted by the knights who arrested them.

Before the squad can fight the knights, Flag stops them and attempts to reason with Cecil using words he learned from orc prisoners. Despite being insulted by this, Cecil follows through on Fione's orders. They soon meet Aldora and Fione, the latter of whom resembles Harley. After Aldora casts a translation spell to facilitate contact, Flag confesses that his previous squad escaped and became generals in the enemy forces. She demands the squad to be executed until Peacemaker convinces her to let them take on a mission from her instead. She accepts under the condition that Flag remains imprisoned until the mission succeeds. After the squad regain their equipment, they take advantage of Cecil's fight with an army of werewolves to sneak into the werewolves' fortress, where they encounter Ratcatcher, who holds a grudge against Deadshot for slandering and humiliating him while they were incarcerated together. Using a magic scepter, he takes control of a pack of werewolves to seek revenge. Though the squad defeats the werewolves, Katana rescues Ratcatcher, who intends to control a different army to kill the squad.

In a flashback, a young Fione snuck out of the castle to befriend peasants, only for them to be killed in the war. In the present, Aldora refuses to release the squad despite their victory because they destroyed the enemy fortress. Harley berates Fione for reminding the former of her old self. As Cecil explains how the war that Aldora's kingdom is involved in has lasted decades, especially after the elves and beastmen betrayed them, Ratcatcher takes command of a beast army and approaches the castle. Harley recruits Aldora's prisoners to aid the squad, but Deadshot destroys Ratcatcher's scepter, causing his army to betray him and then surrender. As a reward, Cecil frees the squad, who leave to receive Waller's signal with twelve hours left on their bombs. The kingdom celebrates, though Aldora is displeased.

The squad reaches the portal, which is in the sky, in time to reset their bombs, giving them 72 more hours. They continue helping Aldora's kingdom, but Deadshot runs out of bullets. Flag says his helicopter, which was left on a mountain, has more weapons. En route, they stop and party with the former prisoners, who were left in charge of the fortress, and Harley acquires a magical size-shifting frying pan. Upon reaching the helicopter, they find a dragon made a nest with it before it attacks them. While Harley uses the frying pan to deflect its fire breath, Peacemaker distracts it by stealing its egg and Deadshot knocks it off the mountain with a rocket launcher. The egg hatches and the baby dragon imprints on Harley, who names it Arthur. Flag secretly contacts Waller and informs her of the situation. She tells him to kill the traitors in the previous squad. After acquiring the weapons, the squad returns with Arthur, but find the fortress on fire and the Enchantress and the Thinker looming in the sky.
