Mormons believe in the Bible. Paul said it quite well in his epistle to the Corinthians.
"5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."

The first article of Faith states it the best- We believe in God, the Eternal father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ and in The Holy Ghost.
We Worship God the Eternal Father in the Name of Jesus Christ. I guess that is the best way to explain it. Jesus is the head of the LDS church.
Jacob- I believe you are mistaken a bit, about whether or not we believe that we can become Gods All I will say on that point- is pay attention to the blessing and promises of the temple. I will not expound more on that here though.
Edit**
Also one more thing- we believe in the 10 commandments- the first of which is Thou Shalt have no other Gods before Me.

I second what Doc (and, more importantly, what the Apostle Paul) had to say. There may be many gods and many lords, but unto us there is only one God.
When it comes to finding out what Mormons believe, our official scripture will generally be more accurate than some cartoon made by some guys who aren't Mormon.

We believe in plural gods yes, but we only worship one supreme being.
Oh and by the way, His Spirit, that was a very entertaining video. I actually laughed out loud on some of the parts. It's really amazing how misled people get.
No my FAVORITE part of that was where they said we believe that Joseph Smith did more for mankind than any other man, including Jesus Christ. It makes me laugh because we do believe that He did more for mankind than any other man save (even in our scriptures we say this) Jesus Christ only.
Oh and I also liked how it said that Joseph Smith was a direct descendant to Jesus Christ Himself. If that isn't bullcrap I don't know what is.

We believe that there are three members of the Godhead. That is, God the Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.
The Bible supports this doctrine as there are numerous scriptures stating the separateness of the three.
An example is when Jesus was baptized. The voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved son, Jesus was on earth getting baptized, and the Holy Ghost was present in the sign of the dove. I count three.

the cartoon is 20 years old from the anti mormon film "the Godmakers"
We believe in the Father, The son and & the Holy Ghost who are one God or one Godhead.
Not the nicean creed which believes they are three in one substance and/or essence.

We believe that the eternities are filled with enlightened beings, whom we call gods. We worship only one God, however, and that is Heavenly Father, the God of Abraham.

Believe it or not, your simple question can actually become somewhat complicated. Allow me to explain (to the best of my understanding)...
When speaking of God, Latter-day Saints believe that there are three distinct persons/Gods who comprise what is referred to as the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. They are three distinct individuals, making them three Gods, but they are worshiped collectively as one God (or Godhead). Because all three members of the Godhead are in perfect harmony and unity with each other, they are often described as being one.
As far as other gods are concerned, we believe that they exist, but we do not worship them. We are all children of God, and as such, we have the potential to become like God (in other words, we have the potential to become gods). Your question may be based in the words of Isaiah, who said that there is only one God. Of course, when read in context it is understood that he was condemning the false gods of idolatry and explaining that there is only one God for us to worship. I'm sure that Paul understood this as well when he taught that although there are many lords and many gods, both in heaven and in earth, to us there is only one God.
