Plot[]
The episode begins with The Flesh working out by lifting a Tuna Can weight 100 times and looking at a toaster's reflection of himself. Suddenly, he smells something delicious: a deviled egg in a lunch box. The Flesh climbs into the lunchbox, unaware that it's a trap by The Mayor, who locks up the lunchbox and reveals his evil plan; to replace the Real Flesh with a robotic duplicate, Roboflesh, who comes out of the dishwasher!
Meanwhile, the rest of the Action League is at a parade, honoring themselves as the greatest superheroes in the world. Stinky is upset that he's missing his favorite show, Baywatch, in favor of a parade that no one seems to be attending. Meltman thinks they might be early, and Stinky was right. The Chief then asks where The Flesh is, as the League isn't complete without him. The Mayor, who is watching from a distance, assures the League that The Flesh is coming, and uses a remote control to pilot Roboflesh, who is getting ready to throw a cinder block at the League.
Back at the Kitchen, the real Flesh engineers a cunning escape. He pilots the lunchbox using his eerily accurate internal radar. He then bounces it across the kitchen, out through the front door, and into the road, where a car runs over the lunchbox and squashes it. The Flesh is now able to break free and thanks the car driver for setting him free, but then gets run over by another car.
Back at the parade, Meltman sees Roboflesh holding a cinder block and mistakes him for the real Flesh. He then tells him to climb aboard the float, and Roboflesh tosses the Cinder Block at the float. Thundergirl thinks the Flesh is mad about his year-end bonus, and The Chief tries suspending him. The Mayor then uses his remote to pilot Roboflesh towards Stinky Diver, who is rather impressed with his stunt. Roboflesh then tosses Stinky and laughs as the Real Flesh shows up to battle him and save the League. The League is unable to tell the Real Flesh apart from Roboflesh (despite Roboflesh having bolts sticking out of his body and speaking in a deep robot voice), and both the real Flesh and Roboflesh claim to be the real one. The Narrator then asks the viewers who the real flesh is and tells them to stay tuned for part two to find out.
In the second act, the Narrator asks the viewers who the real Flesh is, and tells them that only the Action League knows for sure. Stinky has no clue, so to find out who the real Flesh is, The Chief asks both the Real Flesh and Roboflesh what the Action League password is. They both guess "Deviled Egg", which isn't the password. The Mayor, who is sick of all the talk, operates his remote, making Roboflesh punch the real Flesh. The two Fleshes battle each other in different environments, including a barbecue grill, a cactus, and a swimming pool. When they start battling at a blender, the real Flesh loses his strength, much to the Mayor's delight. Thundergirl wishes there were some way to tell the real Flesh apart from Roboflesh, and suddenly, Stinky has an idea. He says, "Hey, stupid!", and the real Flesh responds. Stinky, now able to tell the real Flesh apart from Roboflesh, fires his spear gun at Roboflesh and knocks him into the blender, which chops him into many pieces.
Later that day, as the parade continues with The Mayor chained to a cinderblock, The Flesh asks Stinky how he was able to tell him apart from his clone. Stinky says that nobody was more dumb like him. The Flesh thanks Stinky and accidentally knocks him into the road, where he gets run over by a car. The Flesh says, "Ouchies!" in shock as the episode concludes.
