Plot[]

The episode begins with a group of boys playing basketball while listening to some funk music on the radio. Meltman passes by, trying to remember The Chief's donut order and hoping he doesn't mess it up again. The boys see Meltman and say hello to him, who says hello back and is glad he has some fans. Suddenly, the music changes into a 1960's song, which hypnotizes two of the boys into beating Meltman up by slamming him with a basketball hoop. Hodgepodge, who has converted himself into a radio station, reveals that he is behind the evil plan to hypnotize people into beating up the Action League with his new song.

When Meltman returns in a cast and a wheelchair, The Chief is angry with him for not bringing back his donuts. Thundergirl tells him that she, The Flesh, and Stinky will get them for him. Meltman warns the League not to go outside, as it is too dangerous, but Stinky doesn't believe him and tells The Chief that he, The Flesh, and Thundergirl will be back soon.

Moments later, The Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky pass by Mr. Farmer and his family, who also listen to some music (country) on their radio. Mr. Farmer says hello to them, and The Flesh says hello back. Stinky and Thundergirl then say that the farmers love them and Meltman was being a wimp. Suddenly, the same song that hypnotized the children to beat up Meltman earlier plays again and hypnotizes Mr. Farmer and his family into beating up the League.

When The Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky (who all have garden tools jammed into them) return to Action HQ, Meltman tries to say that he was right, but The Chief silences him, as no one must leave Action HQ until they find out what's going on. Just then, Hodgepodge tells the League on the radio that it is safe for them to leave, and K-Podge radio is sponsoring a big Action League appreciation rally, which the League is excited to be in.

As The Flesh, Thundergirl, Stinky, and Meltman leave for the rally, The Chief goes to Bill's laboratory to find out why the League has recently been beaten up. Bill plays Hodgepodge's song forwards, but surprisingly, it has no effect on them. Bill then plays the song in reverse, revealing Hodgepodge's subliminal message: to crush the League, as they ruined his life, so now their fans must destroy them, too! The Chief and Bill find out that Hodgepodge has been brainwashing people to get rid of the League. Bill is about to tell The Chief the bad news, but The Chief already guesses there's nothing Bill can do and is right. However, Bill comes up with an something - there is somebody he can call.

At the League appreciation rally, many townspeople have gathered around, telling the League how much they love them. Stinky is glad to be appreciated, but then Hodgepodge appears and plays his song, which hypnotizes the townspeople into beating up the League. They throw tomatoes at them and even knock over the table they're standing on. The League runs, but it's no use; they're surrounded by the hypnotized townspeople. As the League tries to climb up the table, Hodgepodge is satisfied that his evil plan is going exactly as he hoped. The League finds out that he was behind the evil plan as the Narrator asks the viewers if Hodgepodge's song will successfully destroy the League, then tells them to stay tuned for part two.

In the second act, Bill calls an old friend of his. Hodgepodge asks the League how they like his new song, backing them into a corner. However, just as the League is about to be beaten up by the townspeople, The Chief and Bill appear in a van, saying Hodgepodge's evil plan has just been trashed. They use the van to knock him into a loudspeaker as Bill tells the townspeople to put their hands together for his close personal friend, Lou Rawls! Lou then sings his smash hit, "You'll Never Find Another Love like Mine", telling the townspeople to love the League. This hypnotizes the people into loving the League instead of beating them up. In fact, it works a bit too well, as some of the townspeople steal the League's body parts! Lou continues singing as the episode ends.
