Announcer:miracle city:

A spicy cesspool of crime and villainy.

This is the story of manny rivera

Better known as:

[Manny roars]

Manny: el tigre!

Son of the legendary hero:

White pantera: white pantera!

Grandson of the evil supervillain:

Puma loco: puma loco.

["El tigre" theme plays]

Crowd: el tigre!

[Sirens wailing]

[Cheering]: el tigre.

[♪...]

[Roaring]

[Roars]

Crowd: el tigre!

[♪...]

[Spurs jangling]

Manny, since I won't be back until sunday

I expect you to behave yourself while I'm away.

Of course, dad.

What do you think I'm gonna do, rob a bank?

Heh, heh, heh.

[Sinister]: ha, ha, ha.

[Maniacal laughter]

Yeah, well, if you need any advice, your granpapi...

Manny...

Time to roll... Aye!

Your granpapi should be completely ignored.

Now be sure to take good care of

Our beloved señor chapi.

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.

Ow!

But dad, chapi hates me now.

Just 'cause I threw away his girlfriend.

[Sniffs]

Ach... This feather duster is rank, blech.

[Horrified squawk]

[Glass shatters]

Manny, don't reopen that wound.

Señor chapi is very sensitive.

Sensitive?

He's got the brains of a flying hammer.

...he only knows how to say one thing.

Viva pantalones.

And his favorite is earwax.

[Bell dings]

Manny, your father and I disagree on many things.

For instance: I believe that

Evil will triumph over good!

[Maniacal laughter]

[Gagging]

[Choking cough]

Whereas he likes grapefruit.

But there is one thing we agree on.

Both: we love señor chapi.

Fine.

I'll take care of it.

[Chomping crunch] ah!

And remember the three rules.

No parties, no parties, and...

Both: no parties.

Ok, be good.

Gotta be good.

Gotta be good.

Gotta be... [Bell dings].

Party!

Frida! Frida! Frida!

Aye-aye-aye-aye.[Crash]

So there I was

Facing off against sartana of the dead.

[Gasps] weren't you scared?

[Thunderclap]

Not el tigre.

[Roars]

All: [giddy]: ooh.

This is more fun than being good, eh, manny [chuckles]?

Ha, ha, you bet.

Being a villain is great.

Wait, we thought you were a hero.

We're "outie".

Viva pantalones.

What'd I tell ya?

Villainy doesn't pay.what?

You said being a hero was lame.

Huh, that does sound like something I'd say.

Honey, I'm home early.

[Horrified gasp]

A party!?

[Gasps]

[Gasps]

[Squeaky kiss... Gasp]

[Gasps]

Ay!

Señor chapi!

Oh, no.

Rodolfo: he is afraid of the heights.

Chapi: ah.

[Thud... Car alarm blares]

He could be ok.

[expl*si*n]

Uh, maybe?

Look, a pack of wolves.

[Growling/howling...]

All: no!

Manuel pablo gutieérrez o'brien equihua rivera.

I amvery disappointed in you.

You have to learn to be responsible.

[Granpapi cries][rodolfo sighs]

Mijo,i've always said

That you have the heart of a true hero.

But maybe... Maybe I was wrong.

No, dad.

I know nothing can replace señor chapi.

Why,why!

[Crying]

You gotta let me make this right.

I'll pay you back for all this damage.

[Cart wheels squeaking]

And how are you going to do that?

I'll... Get a job.

Two jobs if I have to...three.

You're doing the right thing, my son.

I'll make you proud, dad.

I promise.

Frida: that's all you made?

It'll take a hundred years at this rate.

Dad's gonna be old and dead by then.

Work is for suckers.

With your powers, you cantakewhat you want.

Frida, you said that villainy doesn't pay.

Really?

Man, I gotta get my stories straight.

Youshouldtake what you want.

[With mouthful]: like the legendary rubeén hood.

Rubeén hood? Rubeén hood?

Long ago, there was a famous bandito

Who roamed the countryside

Stealing from the rich...

Frida: and giving to the poor?

Granpapi: the what?friday: the needy?

Granpapi: the who?

[Baby cries]

...look, the point is that

Rubeén hood was stealing.

No, no, stealing only leads to trouble.

Trouble that makes yourich[laughs].

Rodolfo: manny, hard work is riches enough.

That's why I can't pay for your dental work.

Well, see you tonight.

[Door shuts]

How am I ever gonna get enough money to pay dad back?

There is only one way, my boy.

You must come to the dark side.

Ok.

Get into your evil nature.

Experience the awesome power of...

Dude, he said "ok."

Yeah... Oh,sií.

Sorry, it's not usually that easy.

Well, have fun being a nefarious scoundrel.

Thanks, granpapi.

So we steal from the rich and give to my dad?

Your dad said that only leads to trouble.

But what if we steal from the supervillains?

Yeah.

That way it isn't really stealing.

It's recovering stolen goods.

Dad'll be so proud.

[Bats squeaking][expl*si*n]

[Cash register rings]

[Thunderclap]

[Sinister laughter]

[Coins clinking]

[Both laughing]

Manny, where does rodolfo hide the...

[Gasps]

"Gleeno".

Yes, grandfather.

How may I be of assistance?

Santa sangre.

Your depraved plundering brings joy to an old man's heart.

I can't imagine being any more proud of you.

[Smack]

And now I am!

And I can finally pay dad back

For everything I destroyed.

Sure, sure, whatever.

Tell me, where did you find this much loot in miracle city?

We stole it from all the supervillains.

What?

Is that a violation of the villains code?

No, "the people who want to stay alive" code.

Is ok, it's ok, we can straighten this out

As long as you weren't stupid enough

To steal from sartana of the dead, huh?

[Sartana's guitar plunk]

How dare you steal from me you little maggot.

He was stupid enough.

Sartana!

Puma.

Sartana?

[Quietly]: puma?

[Suave]: sartana.

[Familiar]: puma.

Old flames.

Very old.

Honey, I'm home early again...

[Gasps]

Another party?

And you invited sartana of the dead?

Somi querida...

What are you doing here?

Ha, the usual.

Destroying your grandson.

Ending your bloodline forever.

Ah, it's good you stay busy.

Heh!

He has the heart of a true hero.

But he has the claws of a supervillain.

Yikes!

Seriously, how can you even stand up?

You don't even have any muscles?

In your skull, bandito.

Well, that takes care of sartana's minions.

Ah, maybe not.[Thunder rumbles]

You know, I think I've learned a valuable lesson today.
