Plot

An Adventurekateer Distress Signal interrupts Captain Laserbeam's speech at a seder dinner with Rabbi Vasquez at Temple Beth Apex. He follows it back to a darkened Adventurekateer Clubhouse only to discover Phillip Fathom, Deep Sea Detective there instead. Fathom informs him that several heroes' sidekicks have been kidnapped, including Adventurekateer Patrick, but warns Laserbeam off the case and disappears. Indignantly, Captain Laserbeam decides to pursue and finds a clue that Fathom missed: a note from Patrick telling him that Tinker Taylor has kidnapped him.

Meanwhile, Tinker Taylor, assisted by Tyler, tries to convince Patrick, Investigateen Seth, and a Bambini from the Italian Battalion's Bambini Squad that their heroes are mistreating them, but his ineffectual arguments and the kids' infighting bear little fruit. Captain Laserbeam shows up and Tinker Taylor yells at him about past grievances for awhile, then activates his deathtrap. As soon as Captain Laserbeam is incapacitated, though, Phillip Fathom and the Italian Battalion show up, disable the deathtrap and incapacitate Tinker Taylor and Tyler. Laserbeam freeze laser them, and Tinker Taylor mournfully remembers a time as an Adventurekateer when he and Tyler were kidnapped by the Ice Queen, which garners him a bit of sympathy before he is carted off to jail.
