Plot[]

The episode begins with Thundergirl in the kitchen, doing a routine patrol by flying around. Meanwhile, The Mayor is lurking nearby and jumps onto a turkey baster filled with ooze, which squirts Thundergirl and causes her to fall into a jar. With Thundergirl out of the way, The Mayor can succeed in his evil plan, where two kids (a boy and a girl) are revealed to be tied up.

Later that day, The Flesh sets Thundergirl free by smashing the jar with a hammer. The Chief asks Thundergirl what went wrong, to which she explains about the glue squirt and crashed. Stinky thinks the reason why it happened is because of her theme song. As Meltman asks who's responsible, a brick is tossed through the window and lands on him. The Flesh concludes that the same guy who squirted Thundergirl must be the same one who threw the brick. Attached to the brick is a ransom note. The Chief reads over it, revealing that it is from The Mayor, who tells the League that he is holding the two kids he captured earlier for a 2.3 Jillion dollar ransom at his Eagle Landing estate, and unless his demands are met, the two kids will suffer a nasty fate. The Chief tells the League that they have to rescue the two kids. Thundergirl assures The Chief that she can handle it, but when she tries to fly, she unfortunately falls onto the floor. As the rest of the League witnesses her fall, she realizes that she's lost her ability to fly from getting squirted. The Chief is not happy, as The Mayor can tell that without Thundergirl's power, the two kids are doomed.

At The Mayor's Eagle Landing estate, which is revealed to be a birdhouse on a pole, The Mayor is satisfied that his evil plan is going exactly as he expected. Without Thundergirl, no one can stop him, or so he thinks. The two kids have taped a "Kick Me" sign to the back of The Mayor, and they start kicking him, angering him. Below, the League has tied balloons to Thundergirl so she can fly up. At first, this plan seems to work, and Thundergirl even sings in celebration. However, she flies right past The Mayor, who is about to tie up the two kids, but is distracted, as he witnesses what's going on. The girl then takes The Mayor's right arm, further angering him. Thundergirl wants to get down, so Stinky fires his spear gun at the balloons, causing them to pop and Thundergirl to fall back to the ground crashing. A dismayed Thundergirl wants to give up, as she can't fly, certainly not in time to rescue the children. Just then, the Mayor's right arm lands on her. She and the rest of the Action League look up and hear The Mayor in a fit of rage, about to attack the two children with a razor. The Narrator asks the viewers if The Mayor will succeed in his evil plan, or if Thundergirl will save the two children in time, then tells them to stay tuned for part two.

In the second act, before the Mayor was about to ended the two kids' life once and for all, the Action League prepare to launch Thundergirl into the birdhouse via a slingshot. Thundergirl doesn't know if they can save the children in time, but Stinky (who was previously sick of her song) encourages her by singing it himself. He lets go of the slingshot and Thundergirl is launched right at the birdhouse, knocking it over. The Flesh, Stinky, and Meltman rush over to the birdhouse to make sure the two children are okay. To their relief, they are, and it looks like The Mayor is the one who needs to be rescued; the boy is shaving his head and the girl is hitting him with his left arm. After laughing at The Mayor's misfortune, Meltman wonders where Thundergirl is, who says that she's flying above them. Stinky is elated that Thundergirl has gotten her power back as Meltman cheers for her. She continues to sing her song, but unfortunately doesn't look where she's going and flies into a power line, which shocks her and causes her to fall to the ground. She wearily finishes her song as the episode ends.
