Plot

The episode begins at a safe house, where the Action League brings in a little boy called The Kid. After checking the area, The Flesh closes and locks the door, launching Meltman into the sidewalk, where he gets run over by a bicycle. The Chief then explains to the league that The Kid, whom they brought, is a witness in The Mayor's trial. The Mayor is liable to try anything to silence him, and they must protect him at all costs. Meltman returns to the house through the mail slot as the Chief leaves. Mere seconds after he leaves, The Kid goes missing. When the League looks for him, he drops a vase on them, then wants to play another game with them.

Meanwhile, The Mayor finds his way to the safe house and is ready to go inside and silence The Kid.

Inside the safe house, the League prepares to play a game of Hide and Seek with The Kid. After counting to 100, they split up and search. The Flesh searches the laundry room and hears The Kid on top of the washing machine. As The Flesh looks down to the bottom, The Kid closes the lid, pushing him inside. He then sets the washing machine to "8" and, laughing, runs away. At the same time, Meltman overhears The Flesh and thinks he's doing his laundry, but then realizes that The Flesh has no laundry because he wears no clothes. He steps in the middle of a waffle iron, which The Kid traps him in and turns on, making Meltman melt as The Kid laughs.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Stinky is searching for The Kid, who says that he's in the VCR as Stinky climbs into it. Unfortunately, he gets trapped in an undersea nature show with a hungry shark that chases him around! The Kid laughs as he watches the shark chase Stinky.

Lastly, Thundergirl searches the house for The Kid from an aerial look. The Kid then lifts up a fan, which he uses to chop her head off. Thundergirl is very mad at The Kid for what he's done to her, but he merely giggles. Suddenly, the doorbell rings and Thundergirl tells The Kid not to answer. However, he simply doesn't listen and rushes outside, thinking more kids have come to play. Outside is a present, but as soon as it opens, The Mayor is revealed to be inside, ready to get his revenge on The Kid! The Narrator asks if The Mayor will stop the kid, especially since the League is now caught in various traps, then tells them to stay tuned for part two.

In the second act, the washing machine stops and a dizzy Flesh climbs out. He then lands on the waffle iron, opening it and revealing Meltman, whose body is now squished like a waffle. They hear The Kid yelling for help and run off to gather the rest of the League to help them save him.

In the living room, Stinky is still being chased by the shark! The Flesh, wondering where Stinky is, accidentally steps on the "Eject" button of the remote, ejecting Stinky out of the VCR and landing on Thundergirl's body, which lands on her head. The Flesh, having heard The Kid yell for help again, tells Stinky and Thundergirl that The Kid is in trouble! On the table, The Mayor (with a pencil) is about to push him to his demise. Suddenly, Thundergirl tells The Mayor to stop. While the Mayor is distracted by the League, Meltman starts to cheer for him. Having put up with all the horrible things The Kid did to them, The Flesh, Stinky, and Thundergirl join in, until The Kid knocks The Mayor down over the table. At that moment, The Chief returns and asks The League what's going on. Thundergirl replies that they caught The Mayor and, with the others, pretends to scold him. The Chief is proud of the League and asks where The Kid is, who pushes a bowl that lands on the League and The Mayor. Finally, he laughs and wants to play yet another game as the episode ends.
