Plot[]

The episode begins at Action League Headquarters, where The Chief has summoned the League for an important meeting. As he tries to explain the mission to The Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky, Meltman walks in with a girl, giving her a tour of the Headquarters. The Chief is not happy with that, as their Headquarters is supposed to be top secret. Meltman tells him and the rest of the League that this girl is his new girlfriend and introduces them to her as Andrea. Stinky finds it hard to believe that Meltman was able to get a girlfriend, but Meltman asks the rest of the League if it's so strange. The rest of the League deny their opinions as The Chief yells that they have a Defcon-4 superhero emergency and they must move. He also tells Meltman to stay at Headquarters in case the mail arrives. Meltman agrees to stay, until Andrea tells him that he said he was a superhero. Meltman agrees that he is and gets the mail with super regularity. However, Andrea tells him that the man she loves has an inner superhero, waiting to be released, and he should be with the rest of the League, where the action is. Meltman admits that she's right, and as the rest of the League sets off in the Action Mobile, Meltman stops in front of them, causing them to steer into a bookshelf and get hit by a falling bowling ball! After that accident, an embarrassed Meltman supposes that it's better if he took the bus.

Later that day, the League and their newly repaired Action Mobile are outside a warehouse with its doors plastered with various warning signs. The warehouse is home to many large heavy objects and there are several thieves on the loose, obviously planning to pilfer the objects. The Chief warns the League that the place is most likely booby-trapped, and somebody has to go in to investigate. He asks the League who wants to volunteer, and while The Flesh, Thundergirl, and Stinky pretend not to have heard, Andrea volunteers Meltman to go in. At first, he refuses, but Andrea tells him that the Meltman she loves wouldn't turn down a chance to release his inner superhero. Meltman nervously agrees in order to impress Andrea.

Moments later, as the warehouse door opens, Meltman sees a dangling anvil, rigged to fall on whoever steps on the bullseye below. Meltman, thinking this isn't a booby trap, informs the rest of the League that the coast is clear as they stop the Action Mobile on top of the bullseye and under the anvil, which falls on top of them, flattens them, and destroys the Action Mobile! As that's the second time today he's inadvertently smashed the Action Mobile, Meltman knows that The Chief won't be happy with him. Andrea tells him not to worry, as once they all see the new and improved Meltman she has in mind, they're going to love him even more.

Back at Action Headquarters, The Flesh, Thundergirl, Stinky, and The Chief all laugh at Meltman's new green super suit, which is complete with a doctor's headband. Andrea tells them that he's no longer Meltman - because he's Dr. Melt. The rest of the League continue laughing as they find that name foolish. When they're finished, The Chief tells Meltman that because of him, the thieves had escaped and the League got crushed. Meltman argues that it was his former identity who hurt the other Leaguers. Andrea then tells the Chief that if he doesn't appreciate Dr. Melt's services, he will gladly take his business elsewhere, making The Chief warn her not to let her mouth write a check her bottom can't pay. A furious Andrea then quits the League with Meltman and, by his cape, drags him out. The Narrator asks the viewers if Andrea's relationship with Meltman has come between him and the rest of the League and if they will be able to catch the thieves and not get smashed without Meltman, then tells them to stay tuned for part two.

In the second act, Meltman and Andrea have set up their own office. Meltman tries to get a framed diploma to hang straight and ends up falling down over the bookshelf, with the diploma falling and ripping through his body. Next, the phone rings as Andrea, excited over their first assignment, answers the fax. She then tells Meltman that the Large Heavy Object Theives are committing another crime! Meltman, who is still stuck in the diploma, tells her to call the police, but she tells him that this is a job for Dr. Melt. Meltman nervously agrees, and Andrea heads towards the Meltmobile with Meltman trying to follow her. However, the diploma knocks over a steel tower that lands on top of him.

Moments later, the thieves are preparing to steal a television set. Meltman and Andrea then arrive as Meltman tries to say his new catchphrase, "Feel the Fear, Dr. Melt is here!", but his cape gets caught in the Meltmobile. The thieves laugh as Meltman frees his cape. They then decide to attack him, but let go of the ropes as they do. They walk up to him, and just as they are about to beat him up, the released ropes cause the television to fall on top of them and Meltman, flattening everybody! The rest of the League and The Chief arrive as The Chief congratulates Meltman for catching the thieves, saying that he was wrong about him. Andrea then tells The Chief that it's too late for him, as Dr. Melt is finished with the League. However, Meltman argues that it's Andrea he's finished with and re-joins the League as Andrea tries to convince him to stay with her, asking who helped him find his inner superhero. However, Meltman only says that he's really more comfortable finding his inner chicken, making the rest of the League laugh as the episode ends.
