Well, don't have a cow, man.
Uh, wrong show.
[WOMAN.]
Help! Someone's in trouble! Help! Please, someone, help me! Ohhh [SOBS.]
No! Is this a private game, or can anyone play? Yeah! Yeah! Mmhh! Whoa! You dudes know you're not supposed to play ball inside.
Uhh! Aaahh! Good work, ma'am.
Hey, this could be the start of a new flavor-- punk in a jar.
Aah! Yeah.
Thank you, ma'am.
Candy is mondo dandy.
In rescuing this little old lady from a gang of vicious punks, the teenage mutant ninja turtles have shown once more that they are this city's own superheroes.
This is April O'Neil for Channel 6 News.
Turtles? Phooey.
They aren't real superheroes.
Folks nowadays don't know what real superheroes are.
Why, when I was younger Aah! and someone was in trouble I was Gadget Man! Evildoers everywhere lived in fear of my amazing gadgets.
Gadget Man was the hero of the day.
But teenage mutant ninja turtles are all they talk about now.
A bunch of hard-shelled half-pints.
Is it too late for me? No.
It's not too late.
Gadget Man is back! Who is this? Gadget Man? Oh, do I remember you? You were my hero when I was a kid.
Sure, we'll do a story on you.
Uh, what's your address, sir? This is April O'Neil for Channel 6's Where Are They Now? I'm here interviewing the once-famous superhero-- Gadget Man.
Why don't you show our audience some of your crime-fighting gadgets, Gadget Man? Uh, they're a little rusty after all this time.
This is my egg-beater helicopter.
Whoa! Needs a little oil.
[CHUCKLES.]
My pursuit boots.
Ha! They put a real spring in my step.
Ohh! Whoa! And that's Gadget Man-- yesterday's superhero.
This is April O'Neil for Channel 6's Where Are They Now? I used to like that Gadget Man.
He'd always catch the bad guy.
Need I remind you numbskulls that you're the bad guys? Oh, yeah.
We forgot.
Come on.
Krang has something to show us.
My latest invention-- the power vacuum.
With this, I can draw enough power from earth to free the Technodrome from the lava and this asteroid's grip and return to earth as a conqueror.
That's wonderful, Krang.
The power vacuum cannot draw enough energy from so great a distance.
The signal needs amplifying.
Why do I think that this is where I come in? I need you and your mutants to place these power vacuum amplifiers in these three power plants while I get the power vacuum running.
The turtles are sure to learn of the drain on the city's power plants.
We'll deal with that when the time comes.
[BEEP.]
[HORN HONKS.]
[TRUCK HORN BLASTS.]
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[SCREAMING, SHOUTING.]
[SCREAMING.]
I call you, dude.
One pepperoni with pickles.
I see that and raise you two mushroom and arugulas.
Uhh! I hope I don't win this hand.
Arugula gags me.
[BEEPING.]
No fair peeking at my topping, fellas.
Hi, April.
What's up? Shredder and his mutants have been seen at City Power Plant Number One! We're on our way! No way you could beat a pair of pepperoni and fudge sauces with that hand, dude.
[KNOCKING AND POPPING.]
Gotta get this thing tuned up.
[SCREAMING.]
Holy smoke! What's that? That bus is about to fall off the bridge! [GASPS.]
And it's got kids in it! This looks like a job for Gadget Man! [TIRES SCREECH, BACKFIRES.]
Uhh! Never fear! Gadget Man is here! Now to find the right gadget to save those kids.
[SCREAMING.]
Wow! Wow! UhI did it! Uhh! Oomp! [TIRES SCREECHING.]
Oh, no! That bus is about to go off the bridge! What about Shredder? He'll just have to wait.
Bodacious, dudes! It's Gadget Man's van! All right! Who's Gadget Man? That's Gadget Man.
And he's tryi'' to rescue those kids! [PANTING.]
Al-Almost there.
Yeeeooowww! Oomp! [SCREAMING.]
Got it! Oh, swell.
Now we gotta rescue that rescuer.
No problemo, dude.
You better hurry.
His weight is pulling the bus further over! We're on our way! Gotta get--uh! a better grip! [SCREAMING.]
[ALL.]
Ohh! [KIDS SCREAMING.]
[SCREAMING.]
II can't hold on much longer.
Hang on, dude! We'll save you! Always the optimist, eh, Michelangelo? That bus is gonna fall any second! And that guy's weight is gonna pull it over! I've got an idea.
We'll use the turtle van roof cannon.
I get it-- to shoot the turtle cable over the bridge supports! Come on! Let's go! [TIRES SCREECHING.]
Hook those cables onto the bus bumper! Will do, dude! Uhh! Uhh! Got it! [KIDS SCREAMING.]
I got you, Gadget dude.
Pull away, Donatello! Okay, Leonardo drive! [MOTOR RACING.]
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[CHEERING.]
[CHEERING.]
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
Unh! Unnhhh! Nice try, Gadget Man, but, uh, let us do the rescuing next time, huh? You put those kids in more danger with that gadget of yours.
I could've saved those kids.
You turtles just got in the way.
Uhh! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! [LAUGHTER CONTINUES.]
[BACKFIRES.]
Whoa.
That guy's a menace.
Lighten up, Raphael.
The dude was just tryin' to help.
Shredder! Stop what you're doin'! What is it, Krang? I have just discovered the solution to our problem.
Let me guess.
You created intelligent mutants.
Ahh, better! That so-called superhero will keep the turtles occupied while you finish the link up to the power vacuum, [DOG BARKS.]
WhoWho are you? My card.
I'm a superhero agent.
I want to represent you.
I don't need an agent.
Listen, kid, I saw you on TV today.
You need me.
It was that bad? Worse.
But let me tell you what I'll do.
I'll stage a fake crime-- a, uh, photo opportunity.
And you show up and stop it.
Wellthat's dishonest.
What better way to show those adolescent turtles who is the real superhero in this city? MmmI'll do it.
Wonderful! Hey, stick with me, and Gadget Man's name will be splashed all over this city.
And by the time we got to the power plant, Shredder was gone, Master Splinter.
Perhaps Shredder is behind this so-called Gadget Man.
No way, Sensei.
Gadget Man used to be an all-time good guy.
"Used to be," Michelangelo.
Who knows what he's become since then? I know.
Fat.
What's this? I'm Ben Onolayruse.
An escaped hostage reports that a mutant warthog and a mutant rhino are holding up a 5th National Bank.
That's Rocksteady and Bebop! I don't get it.
Robbing banks isn't their style.
Yeah.
Nowadays, we leave that job to the bankers.
[TIRES SCREECHING, BACKFIRE.]
Oh, take your time, Bebop.
We got to wait for this Gadget Man guy.
Right.
[PANTING.]
Stop, evildoers.
Tremble with fear, [PANTS.]
for Gadget Man is here.
[PANTING.]
Who is that? I don't know but he could stand to lose some weight.
Gadget Man is here, Boss.
Good.
Pretend to resist, then let him grab you.
Surrender, or taste the b-bitterness of defeat.
Oh, big deal.
We taste that all the time.
[BOTH CHORTLE.]
I fear the jig is up.
And that's the end of that.
It's time to wrap you two up for the police.
[POP.]
Oops.
[CHUCKLES.]
Gotta get that fixed.
Here, let us help.
Gee.
Thanks.
[CHEERING.]
Call the police.
[CHEERING.]
Shucks, just doin' what any superhero would do, folks.
[CHUCKLES.]
I don't believe it! Gadget Man captured Rocksteady and Bebop! It's working, Shredder! It's working! Those turtles are so busy trying to figure out why your mutants are robbing a bank, they've completely forgotten about you! Good.
Now leave me alone.
I must finish this power vacuum link up.
Very well.
Just remember to get Rocksteady and Bebop out of jail.
[SIREN.]
See? I told you dudes Gadget Man was numero uno.
Maybe he was once.
But he's out of shape now.
He couldn't grab Bebop and Rocksteady unless they wanted him to.
Why would they want to do that? UnlessUnless Shredder was tryin' to keep us from tracking him to another power plant! Where, Donatello? It looks like the Eastside Power Plant.
It's those turtles.
I'll bet they're going to a real crime.
The turtles and Gadget Man? This has gotta be a great story! Turtle power? You turtles are so predictable.
So are you, Shredder! "So are you, Shredder"? Let somebody else handle the snappy comebacks, Leonardo.
Okay.
How about "Let's get 'em"? Hmmhh! [BATTLE CRIES.]
Now it's your turn, Shred-head.
Never fear! Gadget Man is here! Hooah! Ooh! Gadget Man to the rescue.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ready to give up yet, Shredder? Tie them to that generator.
Oh, I have to run.
Too bad you turtles won't be here to watch Krang and I make history, but when this generator reaches "overload," you will be history.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This generator's got about two minutes before "overload," guys.
Then what? Then[GULPS.]
fried turtles.
What What happened? Just another photo opportunity.
I thought the turtles were coming to fight a crime.
No, it was just me.
We're old friends.
Now, come on.
Gadget Man has a date with destiny.
I just hope I'm in time to get some shots of the turtles in action.
YepI'm in time.
Get out, April! This generator is about to overload any second! And Shredder destroyed the power switch.
You can't turn it off.
Never say "can't" to a reporter! Oh, it's working.
How'd you turn off the generator? I unplugged it.
What do you expect? It's a cartoon.
We've got to find out what Shredder is doing at these power plants.
Let's get back to the lair.
Maybe I can figure it out.
I'm going to Channel 6.
You guys call me if there's a hot story.
Right! Or we need rescuing again.
Shredder took Gadget Man with him.
It's possible they're working together! Boy! Rocksteady, Bebop, and now Gadget Man! Shredder really has an eye for talent.
[LOUD THUDS.]
Thanks for gettin' us out, Boss.
Uh, yeah.
I look terrible in goggles.
Right? Wait a minute.
Are you sure you bailed these guys out? [BUZZING.]
What's that? It's just an emergency somewhere.
Now, hurry! Right, Boss.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
Hey! That was Gadget Man! He's breakin the same crooks out of jail that he just put in! So, uh, when do I start doing supermarket openings? I'll call you.
In a daring last-minute escape, the teenage mutant ninja turtles narrowly averted disaster today at City Power Plant Number Two.
Those cursed turtles! Here.
If those turtles try to get in the way of Gadget Man's crime fighting, use this.
Wait a minute.
I'm a superhero.
I don't want to hurt the turtles.
It won't hurt them.
It, uh will temporarily immobilize them.
Wellif you're sure it won't hurt 'em Trust me.
Oop! Gotta run.
Be in touch.
But-- But wait! I don't have your phone number! That was nice of you to give Gadget Man a new gadget, Boss.
Yeah, it sure was.
Are you feelin' okay? I'm feeling fine because as soon as Gadget Man uses that device on the turtles, it will be the end of them.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! [DOG BARKS.]
[STATIC.]
And police report that this daring daylight jailbreak was led by none other than Gadget Man! What?! That Shredder lied to me! Now all my fans, the kids who believed in me, they'll think Gadget Man is a criminal! My career is over.
No.
I can't let them down.
Gadget Man won't let them down! There it is.
These periodic bursts of high-frequency rays are coming from two of the city's power plants.
They're the same two power plants that Shredder visited.
I suspect that Krang is again attempting to dislodge the Technodrome from that asteroid.
I'll bet you're right, Master Splinter.
And he's using city power to do it! Yeah, but two power plants won't provide enough energy.
I can triangulate the likely third power source.
There it is! The third power plant! Let's go, Turtles! We've got to stop Shredder! Be careful, my students.
It's all set, boss.
Me, too, boss.
The link up is complete, Krang.
[KRANG.]
It's about time! What about those Turtles? If they come, I'm ready for them.
The technodrome is about to arrive on earth.
[KRANG.]
Establishing link now! The lights are dimming.
That means Krang has already started draining the power.
Step on it, dude.
Turtle power? Didn't we do this already? It's a force field.
Oh, I have you now, Turtles.
You can't win, Shredder.
I have already won.
Look.
[KRANG.]
Wonderful! The power vacuum works! I need more power, Shredder, more power! Soon, the technodrome will return to earth.
Shredder, I wanted to thank you for getting my career going again.
I, uh, well-- Excellent.
You're setting up another crime for me to fight, ha, ha, ha.
This one with the Turtles as criminals.
Is, uh, he nuts? I don't think so.
Well, let's see what this does to them.
No! No! The force field is gone.
Thanks, Gadget Man.
All right, Gadget Dude! I knew you were a good guy.
You re-wired my Turtle destruction device! Right! The gadget hasn't been made that Gadget Man can't figure out.
I'll stop this power drain.
You guys take care of the villains! We'll get those shell backs, boss.
No way, dude.
Hey, give us back our weapons.
Krang, open a portal! Of course, Shredder.
They got away again.
What, after a hundred episodes you expected something different? I can't let Krang launch the technodrome.
Maybe this thing can receive energy as well as send it.
[KRANG.]
The technodrome is moving! You have done well, Shredder, for once.
Of course, now turn off the portal before those Turtles follow us.
In a minute.
I've done it! This re-wired relay will send a negative ion stream through the portal and draw the energy back here.
Oh, my, no! All the power is gone! [SHREDDER.]
This is all your fault, Krang.
You left the portal on! This wouldn't have happened if you had dealt with the Turtles.
Yeah, well, same to you, buddy! I don't know what you're talking about! Look, I've been working for this-- Let's get out of here.
Yeah, I hate these scenes of mutual recrimination.
And so once more the city honors Gadget Man, whose ingenuity saved us from inter-dimensional villains.
The mayor is now presenting Gadget Man with the key to the city.
Thank you, Mr.
Mayor, but I'd like to announce that I'm retiring once and for all from crime fighting.
[CROWD MURMURING.]
It's time for a younger generation to take over, and the city couldn't ask for better crime fighters than the Meenage Nutant Injured Murtles, uh, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I'm sorry, I always have trouble with that.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Good work, Gadget Man! Press conferences are easy.
Being a superhero is hard.
It is wise of you to leave such duties to my students.
But we still need you, Gadget Man.
We'd like you to help us make crime-fighting gadgets.
Whoa! Really? Golly.
I'd be honored.
Excellent, dude.
Because I've got this far-out idea for a pizza dough tosser.
Hey, we can't fight crime without pizza.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! [DOG BARKS.]
[STATIC.]
And police report that this daring daylight jailbreak was led by none other than Gadget Man! What?! That Shredder lied to me! Now all my fans, the kids who believed in me, they'll think Gadget Man is a criminal! My career is over.
No.
I can't let them down.
Gadget Man won't let them down! There it is.
These periodic bursts of high-frequency rays are coming from two of the city's power plants.
They're the same two power plants that Shredder visited.
I suspect that Krang is again attempting to dislodge the Technodrome from that asteroid.
I'll bet you're right, Master Splinter.
And he's using city power to do it! Yeah, but two power plants won't provide enough energy.
I can triangulate the likely third power source.
There it is! The third power plant! Let's go, Turtles! We've got to stop Shredder! Be careful, my students.
It's all set, boss.
Me, too, boss.
The link up is complete, Krang.
[KRANG.]
It's about time! What about those Turtles? If they come, I'm ready for them.
The technodrome is about to arrive on earth.
[KRANG.]
Establishing link now! The lights are dimming.
That means Krang has already started draining the power.
Step on it, dude.
Turtle power? Didn't we do this already? It's a force field.
Oh, I have you now, Turtles.
You can't win, Shredder.
I have already won.
Look.
[KRANG.]
Wonderful! The power vacuum works! I need more power, Shredder, more power! Soon, the technodrome will return to earth.
Shredder, I wanted to thank you for getting my career going again.
I, uh, well-- Excellent.
You're setting up another crime for me to fight, ha, ha, ha.
This one with the Turtles as criminals.
Is, uh, he nuts? I don't think so.
Well, let's see what this does to them.
No! No! The force field is gone.
Thanks, Gadget Man.
All right, Gadget Dude! I knew you were a good guy.
You re-wired my Turtle destruction device! Right! The gadget hasn't been made that Gadget Man can't figure out.
I'll stop this power drain.
You guys take care of the villains! We'll get those shell backs, boss.
No way, dude.
Hey, give us back our weapons.
Krang, open a portal! Of course, Shredder.
They got away again.
What, after a hundred episodes you expected something different? I can't let Krang launch the technodrome.
Maybe this thing can receive energy as well as send it.
[KRANG.]
The technodrome is moving! You have done well, Shredder, for once.
Of course, now turn off the portal before those Turtles follow us.
In a minute.
I've done it! This re-wired relay will send a negative ion stream through the portal and draw the energy back here.
Oh, my, no! All the power is gone! [SHREDDER.]
This is all your fault, Krang.
You left the portal on! This wouldn't have happened if you had dealt with the Turtles.
Yeah, well, same to you, buddy! I don't know what you're talking about! Look, I've been working for this-- Let's get out of here.
Yeah, I hate these scenes of mutual recrimination.
And so once more the city honors Gadget Man, whose ingenuity saved us from inter-dimensional villains.
The mayor is now presenting Gadget Man with the key to the city.
Thank you, Mr.
Mayor, but I'd like to announce that I'm retiring once and for all from crime fighting.
[CROWD MURMURING.]
It's time for a younger generation to take over, and the city couldn't ask for better crime fighters than the Meenage Nutant Injured Murtles, uh, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I'm sorry, I always have trouble with that.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Good work, Gadget Man! Press conferences are easy.
Being a superhero is hard.
It is wise of you to leave such duties to my students.
But we still need you, Gadget Man.
We'd like you to help us make crime-fighting gadgets.
Whoa! Really? Golly.
I'd be honored.
Excellent, dude.
Because I've got this far-out idea for a pizza dough tosser.
Hey, we can't fight crime without pizza.
