Hurry up, you two.
Get the door open.

Ooh, we're tryin',
boss.

Well, yeah.
But Krang's door-opening
gizmo won't work.

[sparks]
Ooh!

Wonderful. Another
technical achievement.

Krang, this is Shredder.

What is it now, Shredder?

Have you found
the mutagen?

No. We can't even get
into Tropotron Labs.

Your door-opener won't work.

If I had intelligent help,
I wouldn't need such devices.

Use your head!

You heard him, Rocksteady.
Use your head.

Right, boss.

[roaring, grunting]

Ow! Oh, I hope
you remember this

when you're thinking
about my holiday bonus.

Never mind that. Just go
find that Compound X-7.

Sure thing, boss.
Uh, what's "Compound X-7"?

[sighs]
It's a top-secret,
experimental mutagen

that Krang thinks will
counteract the mutation

of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles

and turn them back
into tiny little turtles.

What a neat idea!

Uh, yeah.
If the turtles was tiny,

we could probably whip 'em.

Hey, Joe!
What do you think
this stuff is?

Hey. I'd say that's
a fine example of week-old
cauliflower, there, Garson.

No way!
That's 10-day-old broccoli!

Gee, you're nuts!

And you call yourself
a professional garbage man.

[chuckles]
Sheesh.

How are we supposed to know
this stuff when we see it?

Simple. It will
say "Compound X-7"
on the label.

Ooh, that'd be
real helpful.

If we could read.

[growling, snarling]

Watch this part, dudes.

It's where Smogzilla
blasts the Hairy Ape.

Yeah, I know.

We've only seen it, what?
A dozen times?

Hey, quiet, guys.
Someone's calling
on my Turtlecom.

Hi, guys.
Hi, April. What's up?

A guy called into
Channel 6 News,

telling us that there's
a burglary in progress

at Tropotron Labs.

There's a rhino, a warthog,
and a man with a metal mask.

It's Shredder,
Rocksteady, and Bebop.

Why, however did
you figure that out?

Thanks, April.
We're on our way.

Tropotron Labs,
here we come!

[glass smashing]

[Shredder]
Krang was wrong again.

There's no
Compound X-7 here.

Boy, what a waste
of our precious time.

Yeah. Let's trash
this place and go home.

What the-- Hey!

What's goin' on?

I don't know. Somebody
must have tossed something
from that window there.

Hey! Whoa-h*-h*!

I feel weird! What's,
uh, what's happening?

I don't know, Joe.

But these are pretty neat
special effects!

Look at that door.

I'd recognize Rocksteady
and Bebop's work anywhere.

Let's get 'em!

[All]
Turtle power!

[siren wailing]
The cops.

We got to get out of here.

Quickly!
To the module.

Not so fast, Shredder.

This smoke b*mb
will slow them down.

[Turtles coughing]

Quick, you idiots!

[coughing]

There's the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.

[coughing heavily]

Uh-oh. We're on camera.

We're also out of here!

[Michelangelo]
Time to boogie, dudes.
And I'm talking warp speed.

What happened to you?

Yeah, what happened to me?

You look like something
our garbage truck rejected.

Oh, no! I've turned
into a pile of muck.

Oh, that's just like you.
Always puttin' yourself first.

[screaming]
Help!

[Joe]
Hey! What's the matter
with her?

[Garson]
Maybe it's your breath.

[Man, on TV]
And this exclusive footage
shows the formerly heroic

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
running from Tropotron Labs,

where a break-in
occurred tonight.

Police have no evidence
linking these crime fighters
to the incident.

At least, not yet.

Hey! Hey, Garson.

Those Turtles
were in the lab tonight.

You know, Joe? I bet
they did this to us.

And I'm gonna
get even with them.

Count me in, Garson!

Don't call me that!

From now on, I'm-- I'm--

Muckman!

Yeah. And I'll be... uh...

Joe Eyeball!

Yeah! Yeah!
Muckman and Joe Eyeball,

sworn enemies of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Yeah!
[chuckles]

So, uh-- So how do
we find these Ninja Turtles?

Well, that's easy.
Just keep your eyes peeled.

[laughs]
That's not funny.

[April]
The police are baffled
by the sudden appearance

of two more mutants
in our city.

Hmm. This could
prove useful.

The pair may be connected
to Garson Grunge
and Joe Junkee,

the two garbage men
who disappeared

during the burglary
at Tropotron Labs.

Just as I thought!
My spectro-cathode analyzer

shows that these creatures
have been formed

from an entirely new
mutagen.

It's not X-7, but it might be

what we need to get rid
of the Turtles.

I'll head
for the city immediately.

And this time,
I shall not fail.

[chuckles]
How many times have we
heard that before?

Yeah, I know.

What number episode
is this?

[April]
I just talked
to the police, guys.

They're pretty sure
that it was Shredder,

Rocksteady, and Bebop
who broke into Tropotron
Labs last night.

Then we're no longer suspects?
Well, that's a relief.

Irma and I are going
to look for those two
garbage mutants tonight.

This could be
a humongous story.

Oh, yeah. It'll really
rank with the big ones.

Okay, but be careful.

Hey! What could
happen to us?

How come I'm not eager
to learn that answer?

Guys, I found the answer

in the current issue
of Genius Quarterly.

Shredder must have been
looking for something
called Compound X-7.

Exactly what is that,
oh, scientific one?

Well, according
to this article,

it can reverse
many kinds of mutations.

Well, yeah, but can it
be used as pizza topping?

[Com warbles]
April, where are you?

We're in an alley.

We just found an abandoned
garbage truck.

I think it belongs to--
[screams]

Oh, no!
Help!

[Leonardo]
April, Irma!
What's going on?

Help.
H-H-Help!

[Leonardo]
April, Irma, hang on.

We're on our way.

Have you got a fix
on their location?



That's the alley
behind Tropotron Labs.

We're practically there!

Oh, sir. Are you
those garbage men?

Now I call myself "Muckman."

Hey!
And I'm Joe Eyeball.

I wonder how you ever came
up with a name like that?

Hey, wait a minute.
I know you.

You're that TV reporter

who's supposed to be
friends with the Turtles.

They're the ones who turned
us into-- into this.

And now, we want revenge!

Tell us where they are.
How should I know?

And even if I did,
I wouldn't tell you.

No matter what you do to us.

She doesn't
really mean that.

Yeah-hey-hey!
You are kinda cute.

How's about you and me
stepping out when
this thing is over?

Ah, great. The first guy
interested in me in months,

and he's two feet tall, green,
and has his eyes on st*lks.

All right, already.
Now where are those Turtles?

[grunts]
Put me down, you big--

big glob of garbage.

They've got April and Irma,
whatever they are.

Oh, swell.
Just what this show needs.

More mutants.

Quiet! Let's
take 'em by surprise.

What's happening to us?

Like they say, when you
gotta glow, you gotta glow.

Whoa, dudes!
What is happening?

You're coming with us.

We can make you tell us
where those Ninja Turtles are.

Look, Irma.
It's the Turtles.

What's wrong with them?
I don't know.

They look as weak
as kittens.

What's up, dudes?
What is happening?

What's going on?
I suddenly feel so weak.

Yeah. Ditto here, dude.

[gasping]
I can hardly raise
my bo.

Oh, man.
I'm weak, too.

We better
get out of here.

[grunts]
Hey, give me a hand.

[All groaning]
Thank you.

[Turtles groaning]

Perhaps this soup
will make you feel better,
my students.

I gotta figure out
what happened to us.

[sighs]
You must rest, Donatello.

You're not yet
strong enough.

But that muck creature
has April and Irma.

Yeah.
They darn near had us.

Maybe it's only a touch
of the flu, amigos.

I feel it is
much more serious than
that, Michelangelo.

And until you are well,

you cannot hope to help
April and Irma.

Krang says this mutagen
tracker will locate
that muck creature.

Yeah. He also said that
door-opener would open doors.

A-ha! We're picking up
something. Follow me.

[Muckman]
This abandoned warehouse here
might make a good hideout.

Yeah, why not? It works
in every other story.

You'll never get away
with this.

[chuckles]
They're doin'
all right so far.

Pipe down!
I got to think!

Whoa! It's a little late
to start doin' that, Muckman.

We gotta get them
Ninja Turtles.

Don't worry.
We'll get 'em when they
come looking for these two.

Exactly, and we want
to be there
when they arrive.

Whoa-h*-h*, brother!

And I thought
we looked weird.

Who you callin' weird,
bug eyes?

Let's not fight. We're all
on the same side here.

We want to help you
defeat the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles

because they did this
to poor Bebop and Rocksteady.

[crying]
Yeah. Poor us.

Oh, gee.
Those Turtles are
a real menace.

Shredder!
You big...fibber!

Don't believe him, fellas.
He's the bad guy.

Clam up, lady.

Any enemy of the Turtles
is a friend of ours.

Excellent!

All right,
I found it!

Found what, Donatello?

Why we became so weak
when we were battling
that muck creature.

It seems the goo
that Muckman drips

reacts with our own
mutated body chemistry
to weaken us.

No wonder we couldn't
get near that creature.

Can you formulate an antidote?

I can try, but first
it's back to Tropotron Labs

to find a sample of the stuff
that turned those guys
into mutants.

And the rest of us
will go after April.

Turtle power!

[rapid beeping]

This signal from
April's Turtlecom

is getting stronger--
We must be getting close.

I sense that
something is wrong.

We must be careful.
Right, Master Splinter.

The signal is strongest
from directly above us.

Turtle power!
[screams]

Oh, thanks, guys. You took


Big deal. What's 20 years
to a turtle?

What are you guys
doing here?

We followed April's
Turtlecom signal, and
this is where it led us.

You mean, this Turtlecom?

Shredder.
It's a trap!

Now, it's my turn.
You promised, Shredder.

Muckman!

And let's not forget...
Joe Eyeball.

Who could forget that face?

Uh-oh.
[groaning]

It's fall-down time!
[gasps]

Mutagen too...
powerful--
[groaning]

Hey, Turtles,
look who I got.

[Shredder]
The Turtles,
weak and helpless!

Ah, I just love it
when they're like that.

The battle is
not yet won, Shredder.

Got ya!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Enough, Splinter.
Or the Turtles will suffer.

Very well, Shredder.

[Shredder, laughing]
Now, the battle is won.

By me! We will take Splinter
back to the Technodrome,

and I'll leave you
to finish off the Turtles.

Oh, but we want
to finish them.

No, no. We made a deal
with Muckman. Come on!

[laughing]

Say bye-bye, Turtles!

[laughing]
Now, this'll teach you

to turn us into mutants.

Give 'em the full glow
treatment.

[laughing]
Hey, hey.

[groaning]
It's no use.

I can't...get up.

Me...neither.

What are
we gonna do, April?

Muckman just won't believe
that the Turtles are innocent.

But they might believe
the lab security camera.

Irma, Joe Eyeball
has a thing for you.

I know, and it worries me.

I want you to charm him out
of his sockets-- uh, shoes.

What shoes?
I mean, what for?

Just do it.
We've got to help the Turtles.

Oh, all right.
[sighs]

Oh, Joey!

Who? Me?
Who else?

Hey, hey-hey.
Hey, did you hear that?

She's got eyes for me.

Can't we finish off
the Turtles later?
Please?

Oh, all right.
But make it snappy.

So, you want to talk to me,
my little week-old rutabaga?

No. She does.

I can prove the Turtles
aren't responsible

for what happened to you.

Oh, yeah? How?

Untie us, and I'll show you.

You know, this better not
be a trick,

or else it's all over
for the Turtles.

[groaning]

Another few days,
and I just might
be able to get up.

I just hope that videotape
proves we're innocent.

Or it's sayonara,
shellbacks.

Sorry, folks.
No visitors after 6:00.

We're not visitors.

We're returning these
two experiments to the lab.

[screams]

We'd better find
that videotape before
the security guard reports us.

Look! There's an instant replay
of Bebop and Rocksteady.

They're pouring some goo
out of the lab window.

[Muckman]
Hey, look! That's us
before we changed.

Aw, gee. I'm sorry.
We really messed up.

Boy, nowadays you just
can't trust nobody!

You gotta have eyes
in the back of your head!

So, uh,
what do we do now?

We get the Turtles back
to the lair. And quick!

Maybe Donatello can
figure our some way to
counteract your mutagen!

Okay by me!

[keyboard clattering]

[April]
Please hurry, Donatello.

You Turtles can't stand
much more contact

with Muckman and Joe Eyeball.

[gasping]
I know, but it's
our only chance.

I need samples of the goo

that Bebop and Rocksteady
poured out the window,

but there's none left.

Yeah-hey-hey,
sure there is. Catch.

Eew.

Aw, thanks, Joe Eyeball.

[breathing hard]
I'll have to run
some tests.

Don't take too long.

We must rescue
Master Splinter.

Unless we get better,

Master Splinter will
have to rescue us.

[Shredder]
What shall I do
with you, Hamato Yoshi?

Feed you to a polar bear
or drop you into this mutagen?

Do what you will
with me, Shredder.

But know that evil
can never conquer good.

Don't be ridiculous.
Of course it can!

Why else would I be
in this line of work?

[Donatello]
Well, I've cross-checked
this formula

with the DNA samples
from Muckman.

This ought to make us immune
to Muckman's mutagen, guys.

Uh, you actually expect us
to drink this stuff?

Couldn't we just
pour it over pizza?

Aw, come on, guys.
We'll need our strength

to defeat
Shredder and Krang!

[moaning]

Okay. Come on over, guys.

We've got to test
this antidote.

Is this close enough?
Whoa. It sure is.

I feel fine.

Me, too.
Little hungry, maybe.

Yeah? Well,
try some of this.

Corned beef.
I think.

Uh, no thanks, dude.

I just lost my appetite.

It worked!

Muckman and Joe Eyeball's
mutagen has no effect!

We're awfully sorry
we got you into this mess.

And now, we're gonna help
you rescue that Splinter.

I hate to bring up
petty details, but

how are we gonna get
to the Technodrome?

Oh, I've already
thought of that.

We'll use the portable
portal generator.

I can modify it
for Earth travel. Huh?

All right.
[chattering]

So long, fellas.
Good luck!

Hey, Irma! Wait!

I uh, I'd kind of like
you to have this.

You know,
to remember me by.

Eww!
What is it?

I don't know.

[Donatello]
Well, we're ready to go.

All right. But if
we wind up in New Jersey,

you'll have to
answer to me.

Cowabunga!

What in blazes--
What?

Turtle power!

The Turtles.

No problem. I was
preparing these for our
conquest of Earth anyway.

[Leonardo]
Foot soldiers!

[Raphael]
That Krang!

If it isn't one thing,
it's another.

All right!
One down.

Uh, umpteen to go?

Gee, guys, you were
supposed to limbo.

Let's make turtle tracks!

Hey, Muckman. We gotta help
our buddies, the Turtles.

I'm with you.
Got any ideas?

What's going on?

Did we miss anything?

Don't just stand there.
Get those Turtles!

Muckman fights
with garbage!

Yikes!
Whoa!

Nice slide, dudes.
But you're...out!

Way to go,
Joe Eyeball!

Keep it up!

I'm getting out of here--
Aah!

Wait for me--

Shredder and Krang
are getting away.

Hey, we're in the Arctic.
Where can they go?

At least I will have
my revenge on you,
Hamato Yoshi.

[beeps]

I think not, Shredder.

No! Stop!

Hey, sensei!
All right!

I am glad
to see you, my students.

I'll get you down,
Master Splinter.

We better get out
of here, fellas.

This portal
don't look too good.

Muckman is right.
The portable
portal generator's

power is running out.

[Raphael]
Come on, let's go.

[Michelangelo]
Cowabunga!

Ah, looks like
we made it just in time.

[rattling]

Another example of
cutting-edge technology.

[Leonardo]
Great party, Irma.

[Irma]
Ah, you guys are
easy to please.

Two dozen pizzas,
and I'm the hostess
with the mostest.

H-H-Hey! What do you say
you and me become
a regular item, babe?

No hard feelings,
Joe Eyeball,

but I prefer my men
a little taller.

Aw, gee.

But you do have
lovely eyes.

Hey! Really? Whoa.
Oh, gosh, hey!

You know, Muckman,
if I work on it,

I just might find a way to
make you guys normal again.

Aw, take your time.

Before, we was
just garbagemen.

But now,
we're mutant heroes.

Phew. When's the last time
you cleaned out your
refrigerator, Irma?

All right!

Whoa! Whoa-h*-h*!
Yay!

I was hopin'
there'd be dessert.

Oh, gross!
