[Fendrich] Welcome, everyone!

It's been my pleasure
to organize the first annual

Police and Firemen's
Charity Variety Show!

[cheering]

Tonight, we celebrate

the magnificent work you do
to keep the city safe

while raising money for an often
overlooked group of individuals.

The rich!

[cheering]

Wow! Looks like the entire city
is in attendance tonight.

Yeah, it's been at least a week

since we've had an elaborate event
to bring everyone together.

It's great to see so many
friendly faces in the audience.

Fire Chief Freya McCloud!

[crowd cheering]

Officer Duke DeTain!

[crowd cheering]

Mother.

[quiet clapping]

You're all in for a treat!

Food, fun,

and some of the city's
greatest entertainers!

But, first, let's make sure
everyone is here.

[Fendrich] Particularly all
our heroic police officers.

We wouldn't want anyone
left out on the streets

to interfere with my plans to...

[coughs]
Uh, have a fabulous night!

[crowd cheering]

[beeping]

Thank you, Morris and Morris.

Right on time, fashionably late.

Here ya go, boss! All locked up!

Nobody's going anywhere!

This is one ingenious plan,

locking everyone
inside the theater...

Then distracting them
with quality entertainment,

leaving the city vulnerable
so we can steal the...

Deed to the city!

When this city was founded,
a deed for the land was created.

That deed still exists,

and whoever has possession of it

owns all the land
on which this city is built!

All of it!

Finally, this city will be mine!

[whistles]

[car engine revving]

[all grunting]

Ridiculous.

Now, let's go over the plan.

The deed is kept inside
a safe at the bank.

Right! We're gonna align
magnets all over the city

to yank that safe out of the bank.

Super magnet!

And the deed to the city will be ours!

-[growls]
-I mean, yours, boss!

The deed'll be yours.

That's right!
Now, let's get going!

Deed to the city, eh, Fendrich?

The only thing you're gonna own

is the tears you weep
when I stop your plan!

[tires screeching]

-[Fendrich grunting]
-[car door closes]

The whole city's abandoned.

We're like kids in a candy store!

To the candy store!

Hey, no messing around!

We've got work to do
while the whole city's

locked in the theater.

-[tires screeching]
-[cheering, laughing]

[sighs]

[light music]

[knocking on door]

Daisy "Kaboom" Lewis.

We need to talk.

Of course, Ms. Sinclair.

Care to join me for dinner?

[expl*si*n]

Hope cereal's okay.

So we have to stop Fendrich
from getting that deed!

I love this city, Ms. Kaboom.
It's my home.

I love this city, too,
Ms. Sinclair.

I can't imagine blowing
things up anywhere else.

Then I ask you,
are you willing to sit idly by

while Fendrich steals our home?

Don't worry.

I have a plan,
but we can't do it alone.

Oh, can I interest anyone
in dessert?

I've got a pie in the microwave.

[expl*si*n]

And now,
before your very eyes, man,

I will make Freya appear
on my left side,

and Duke appear
on my right side.

Check this out!

Whoo-hoo! Unimagicable!

-[crowd cheering]
-Right on!

[clunks]

[squeaking]

[imitating airplane sounds]

[Fendrich] Quit messing around!

Stop pretending to be an airplane!

Hey, how'd he know
I was pretending to be an airplane?

[Fendrich]
Lucky guess. Now get going!

[Western music]

So what do you say? Are you in?

[Snake Rattler]
Is a desert canary

an alfalfa desperado's best friend?

[fire crackling]

-So...
-Yeah, I'm in.

[thuds]

[squeaking]

[tap dancing]

Look at me!

I'm as beautiful on the outside
as I feel on the inside.

Uh...

[Fendrich] Quit messing around!

You have one more magnet to go!
Now get going.

[groans]

Mary Sinclair. The Morrises.

Snake Rattler, and me, Kaboom.

Normally, we work alone,

but tonight we band together

to stop Fendrich
from stealing our city.

We're just missing one person...
a mysterious unidentified vigilante.

Whoa there.

You don't mean...

[all] The Silver Blur.

Okay. Let's turn on the signal.

[both scream]

Harl? Why are you here?

I thought everyone
was at the theater.

I'm heading there next.

I've been trying to make
the Silver Signal brighter,

so I hooked it
to a super electromagnet.

Check it out!

[whirring]

[upbeat music]

♪ It's the Silver Blur! ♪

♪ It's the Silver Blur! ♪

♪ Flyin' through the sky ♪

♪ Faster than the human eye can see ♪

There he is! The Silver Blur!

[beeping]

Oh, no!
The signal's overheating!

[fizzling]

So, uh, think he's coming back?

Um, I think we may have to do it
without the Silver Blur.

Do what? Can I help?

No offense, partner,

this here job
requires a willingness

to get your hands dirty.

My hands are already dirty!

Look! We're practically the same,
you and me.

We're like twins!

Whoever can eat
the most fire peppers wins!

And begin!

-[crowd cheering]

[whistling]

-[thuds]

[munches, swallows]

[crowd cheering]

Everyone's having
the time of their lives!

If a crisis
was developing outside,

we'd have no idea!

[squeaking]

[laughs]
Wait, wait! Okay!

Guess who I am?

[in a deep voice]
The easy way

is rarely the best way.

-Duke!
-[both laugh]

Me, me! My turn!

[Fendrich] Quit messing around!

[Frankie] Wow, Hacksaw!

That really sounded
like Fendrich!

[Fendrich] It is me!

Get back to the bank!

Amazing, Hacksaw!

Do it again! Do it again!

[Fendrich]
The magnets are in place!

Now, with the simple press
of this button,

the deed to the city

-will be mine!
-[beeps]

[whirring]

[evil laugh]

-[loud crash]
-[thuds]

-Yes!
-[beeps]

[clanking]

[Fendrich laughing]

[grunts, laughs]

The city is mine!
[laughs]

Fendrich.

[suspenseful music]

Sinclair.

[both gasp]

We're here to stop you
from stealing our city.

So if you know
what's good for ya,

you best step away
from that safe

and leave well enough alone.

Sorry, I'm genre blind.

Can someone please translate
what this noir detective is saying?

Let me handle this one, partner.

First, we're not detectives,
we're cowboys!

Secondly, he's telling you
to walk away from the deed

or you'll be in big trouble.

See? Twins!

[groans]

If you want the deed,

-you'll have to get it!
-[beeps]

And all for a good cause, too.

The rich!

Hey, wait a minute...

Everyone had the time of their lives!

And the city's perfectly safe,
exactly how we left it!

Thank you, Mr. Fendrich,
for organizing this magnificent event.

Really?

No one's gonna mention the safe
in the middle of the street?

What can I say?

Once a Fendrich party's started,
it don't stop.

-[both gasp]
-[both] The deed to the city!

-[both grunting]
-[both gasp]

[Daisy] Looking for this?

This city doesn't belong
to either of you.

It belongs to the people!

And as long as we live here,

-We're fixing to keep it that way.
-We're fixing to keep it that way.

Twins!

-[man 1] Oh, it's so nice.

Okay, I need a Sky Police jet,
a reasonably-priced toaster,

two acrobats,
and a fancy napkin!

-What makes a napkin fancy...
-No time!

[Bob sighs]

[crowd chattering]

Sky Police!

[whooshing]

-Let's follow it!
-[crowd chattering]

Acrobats!

[Freya grunting]

[Judge Strictpunish] My crumpet!

My old mini-oven must have shorted out
and caused the fire!

Reasonably-priced toaster!

[Bob] Here you go!

Fancy napkin!

[Freya] Great work, team!

No Fire Chief could be
more proud of her crew,

-and nothing can change that.
-[knocking on door]

Huh.

Life-changing telegram
for Freya McCloud!

For me?
[chuckles]

More good news!
Maybe I won that bassoon.

Read it aloud! Every word!

"Freya McCloud,
our records indicate

you are missing
one credit required

for graduation
from the Fire Academy.

Until the required coursework
is completed,

you are hereby suspended
as City Fire Chief..."

[all gasp]

They didn't even mention
the bassoon!

What do we do, Chief?

I... I guess I need to elevate one of you
to Acting Fire Chief.

According to the chain
of command guidelines,

that would be Roastie.

-What?
-[beeps]

[Clemmons]
Chief, you can't leave!

Who am I going to panic to?

[screams]

Until I get that credit,
I'm not me.

I'm a fraud.

I have to fix this.

Oh, what?

[beeping, whirring]

Roastie's right!

We should honor Chief McCloud
with a pizza party!

-[party music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]

[crowd cheering]

Ah, my old
stomping-out-fire grounds.

[sniffs]

The soot smells the same.

-[whirring]
-Freya...

-[gasps]
-[man 2] Freya McCloud!

[gasps]
Mr. Yodowski!

I'm so glad to see you!

You're still the academy
maintenance man?

That I am.

And I've proudly followed
your career.

I knew you were gonna make
a great fire chief!

Unfortunately, I just found out

I'm one credit short
of graduating,

so I'm no longer the fire chief.

It's only an emergency, Freya.
You'll fix it.

You just need
to trust your instincts.

That's what you always said.

[rustling]

[door opens]

[indistinct chatter]

-[woman 2] Behold!
-[door opens]

It is I who will be
teaching your class.

[cadet 1] Uh, who is that?

You're still in the shadow.

[cadet 2] We can't see you.

[woman 2] Is this better?

[cadet 2] That didn't help.

[cadet 3] Yeah, now
you're even shadowier!

[cadet 4]
Yeah, I can't see you still.

[cadet 2] Step toward the light.

Now?

-[cadet 4] Yeah, that's better!
-[cadet 2] Yeah, you're good.

-[gasps]
-I still don't recognize you.

Good morning, class.

I'm your instructor Ms. Storm.

For this final one week course,

you will learn the future
of fire fighting.

[Sandra] But first, I'd like
to introduce our new cadet,

former Fire Chief Freya McCloud.

Hello, "old friend."

-[all cadets] Oh!
-They seem to have a rivalry.

I don't know what's happening.

The "old friend" part
sounded ironic.

Hi, Sandra.
You're teaching here?

It's "Ms. Storm" to my students.

Everyone, Freya and I
were classmates.

She graduated first
in our class,

over me by half a point.

But it's come to our attention

she was really one credit short
of graduating

which means
I should have been Fire Chief.

But that's the past.

The future of firefighting
is technology.

The goal is to remove humans
from the equation altogether.

What about firefighters?

The old ways, Freya,
are outdated.

[Sandra] Be careful,

or you may become
outdated as well.

And you're gone again.

That was ominous.

[cadet 1] Does this mean
class is over?

-[Clemmons laughing]

-What's up?
-"What's up?"

Freya's been gone one day
and the firehouse is trashed!

Nothing's getting done
around here!

Roastie, I don't wanna question
your leadership,

but are you leading correctly?

Don't we have work to do?

[cheering]

[beeping]

Roastie's right! It'll get done!

We deserve to have a little fun.

-Dance off!
-[all cheering]

Today, we're in the practice field
to implement some of what we've learned

the past few days.

Please activate
your Fire Hydrant app.

-[beeps]
-[fire crackling]

[beeping]

-Huh.
-[beeps]

[whirring]

[whooshing]

[whirring]

Shouldn't we also learn
how to manually turn

a hydrant on and off?

[mocking Freya]

If you mean push a button
on your tablet, then, yes.

That's the future.

Now, watch this...

-[Sandra] The Fire Truck app.
-[beeps]

-[tires screeching]
-[sirens blaring]

Okay, Freya,

since you're such an expert
on "fire fighting,"

why don't you take this one?

Right. I need a bullwhip,

three cans of pinto beans,
and a boy named "Sue."

Bup-bup.
Using the new technology.

Huh.

Uh...
[clears throat]

[whirring]

[beeping]

[clattering, clanging]

-[whirring]
-[beeping]

-No time!
-[beeps]

[machines power down]

It seems fire fighting
has moved into the future

without you, Freya.

I suggest you catch up.

If you don't, the city will need
a new Fire Chief.

Me. I'm talking about myself.

I would very much
like to be Fire Chief.

[whirring]

-[loud crash]
-[sighs]

[dramatic music]

Hey, Roastie.

Just checking in to see
how everything is going.

-[beeps]
-Wow.

Sounds like it's going great.

Everything is going great!

[Clemmons] We're having a blast.

-Hope you are, too!
-[party music playing]

-Yeah, I'm having a blast, too.
-[clattering, crashing]

In fact, I should probably
get back to, ya know, blasting.

Cool! Don't worry about us. Talk later!

[sighs]

I guess they don't need me.

-[party music playing]
-[cheering, yelling]

Did anybody else see
that dolphin?

[beeping sadly]

[Bob] Chief McCloud makes it
look easy, huh, Roastie?

Leading isn't just about
keeping people happy.

We all work hard
and deserve to have fun,

but we also understand
our duty comes first.

[Bob] It's up to you
to set the example.

[whirring]

[beeping]

[sighs]

-[gasps]
-Oh, sorry, Freya.

Just measuring
for a new light fixture.

Been a lot of complaints
about shadows in here.

How's the studying going?

Not well.

I just don't get the
"fire fighting of the future."

Maybe I don't deserve
to be Fire Chief.

Freya, that missing credit

has nothing to do with you
being a great Fire Chief.

You walked into this academy

with a way
of looking at the world

that was just as valuable

as anything taught
in these classrooms.

Believe me,
I learned a lot from you.

-[door opens]
-[cadet 1] Mr. Yodowski!

Someone flushed their tablet
down the toilet!

Don't panic.
It's just an emergency.

I need a saw,
a helium tank, an ant farm,

and a cast photo
from the stage musical,

"Abe Shineberg:
Tap Dancing Machine."

[indistinct chatter]

Where is she?

Check the shadows.

[Sandra] Welcome to your
final exam, cadets!

Look up and to your right.

Your final exam is to rescue me.

This is out of control.

The fire is growing
and there are no shadows to keep me cool.

-I gotta stop this.
-[beeps]

Oh, no! My tablet's frozen!

[Freya] Sandra?

Remember, Freya,
trust your instincts.

All right. Cadets!

[cadets screaming]

Listen, the future of fire fighting
is the same as it's always been.

You can't control everything,
so be ready for anything!

I need three fire hoses,
two fire hydrants, a fire truck,

six trained firefighters,
and an ax!

-A fire ax?
-[Freya] No time!

But, yes, a fire ax.

at the base of the building!

You, break in the door with the ax!

Can you ever forgive me
for being so hard on you?

Of course.

Life's no fun without being
challenged once in a while.

[chuckles]

[Sandra] Not only do you get
your missing credit,

I'm giving you an A+
in this class.

You're officially
Fire Chief again.

And this city
is lucky to have you.

[cheering]

I don't know what's happening.

Thank you,

though a Fire Chief is nothing
without a great team beside her.

Thanks for keeping everything
under control.

-Really?

Oh, that's very disappointing.
