Plot[]

The episode begins with the Action League getting ready to welcome an ambassador to a vital summit as his airplane pulls into the driveway. The Chief tells the League to be on their best behavior, as the world is on the brink of war and the ambassador is needed to sign the World Peace Treaty. If he doesn't, they could be looking at World War III. Meltman assures The Chief that everything will be fine as protecting ambassadors is their middle name with the Flesh revealing that his middle name is actually "Murray," and as the ambassador exits his plane, The Chief salutes him as it is indeed a great honor, and he salutes back. The Flesh then says that the ambassador salutes everybody and accidentally knocks Stinky Diver, causing him to shoot his spear gun. Unfortunately, the ambassador's foot is accidentally caught in the rope, and the ambassador is flown into the road, where a car squashes him!

At Bill the Lab Guy's laboratory, The Flesh asks The Chief if the ambassador's country can send another ambassador. The Chief reminds the Flesh what he did to the last three ambassadors they'd sent - beacuse the first was accidentally knocked into the toilet and flushed down, the second was accidentally thrown into a car engine and burned, and the third was accidentally thrown into a blender and chopped. As a result of the Flesh's stupidity, the ambassador's country is now out of them. The Chief tells Bill that he has to save this one, and Bill replies that the only thing he can do is surgery, which will take some time. Unfortunately, this is the one thing The League doesn't have, as the treaty signing starts in one hour. Suddenly, Stinky has an idea. He holds the ambassador's head up to The Flesh's, and Meltman notes that The Flesh and the ambassador are nearly identical. The Chief has a new plan to save their planet.

One hour later at the World Peace Summit, The Flesh, dressed in the ambassador's clothes, is revealed to be The League's key to world peace. The Flesh wants to take off the ambassador's clothes so his naked body can be free, but Stinky and Meltman tell him that even though they know it's killing him, he must keep the clothes on so no one can see that he isn't the real one. A man greets the Flesh as the ambassador, and the Flesh greets back, accidentally ripping his arm out!

Back at Bill's laboratory, he and Thundergirl continue to put the real ambassador back together. Bill asks Thundergirl for more glue, then hears a steady beep and starts to panic, fearing that the ambassador has just died! As it turns out, that steady beep was from the microwave, which has made popcorn for a snack.

Back at the Summit, the Flesh is itchy from the ambassador's clothes, and the people begin to suspect the ambassador's movements. A lady then calls him over to make his speech before he signs the treaty. As the Flesh makes his speech, he takes off the ambassador's clothes, frightening everyone! The Narrator then asks the viewers if the Flesh has doomed the world and if Bill the Lab Guy can fix the real ambassador in time, then tells them to stay tuned for part two.

In the second act, the previously shocked people suddenly think The Flesh standing naked before them is a spirit of peace, laying bare the true meaning of diplomacy. One person even takes off his clothes as he cheers for the ambassador! Finally, The Flesh signs the treaty and Meltman and Stinky are proud of him, as it's not every day one gets to save the world naked. After they leave, the naked person picks up the treaty and finds out from The Flesh's signature that The Flesh isn't the real ambassador and they've been tricked, leading one of the dignitaries to declare, "This means war!". Another dignitary (the man with the ripped-off arm) orders missiles launched. The naked person then asks someone to hand him his pants as they prepare to destroy the real ambassador's country!

Later that day, with the ambassador's country destroyed, the League leads the oblivious real ambassador, who is now in a wheelchair, to his plane. The ambassador thanks them for doing everything they could to ensure world peace and hopes they will visit his country soon. Stinky wonders if they should tell the ambassador that his country had been destroyed, but The Flesh accidentally trips, causing the ambassador's wheelchair to roll into the road, where he gets run over by a car again! The embarrassed Chief then decides that it can wait, ending the episode.

Quotes[]

  • The Chief: "Now remember, the Ambassador has to sign that treaty, or we may be looking at World War III. He must be protected at all costs!"
Meltman: "Don't worry, Chief. 'Protecting Ambassadors' is our middle name!"
The Flesh: "Not mine. It's 'Murray'".
  • Narrator: We find our heroes at a secret lab, where the only hope for world peace lies in pieces.
The Flesh: Gollers, can't they just send another ambassador?
The Chief Flesh, need I remind you what you did to the last three ambassadors they sent?
The Flesh: Yes, please.
(A flashback sequence begins with The Flesh and Ambassador #1 standing on the edge of a bathtub.)
The Chief: The first ambassador took in the beauty of our coastline...
(The Flesh knocks Ambassador #1 into the toilet, where he gets flushed down it.)
...a little closer than he intended!
(In the next scene, The Flesh is driving the Action Mobile, with Ambassador #2 as his passenger.)
The next one visited the hood...
(The Flesh drives over a branch, launching Ambassador #2 in the air, where he lands in a bigger car's engine.)
...and wound up underneath it!
(The bigger car's tailpipe spits out Ambassador #2. In the next scene, The Flesh is tossing eggs into a mixer, and accidentally tosses Ambassador #3, who is sitting atop one of the eggs, into the mixer as well.)
And the third guy didn't even make it to lunch!
(Ambassador #3 gets destroyed by the mixer, and the flashback sequence ends.)
Now they're all out of ambassadors! Blast it!

  • Announcer: (recap of the first part of the episode) "An ambassador, impaired, immobilized, impersonated! With doom impending, an action imbecile creates an international imbroglio! ...or does he?"
  • The Flesh: "And so I sign this treaty, with bareness and nudity for all!"
