16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: See you guys later, said Benny as he got off

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: the school bus. It was a beautiful day and school

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: had just ended. Benny just got off the bus. He

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: was so excited to go inside and hang out with

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: his spy partner, Leppie the Leper Gecko. As he walked inside,

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: Leppie met him at the door.

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: Betty you won't believe what happened. What what happened? Asked Benny.

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: You see, we got a message from the mayor and

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: he needs our help. Oh the mayor, he's really nice,

25
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: So what does he need us to do. The message

26
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: says that there's purple ninjas that just came into town

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: last night.

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: They did something.

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: Terrible, said Leppie. The mayor just needs to see you fast,

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: so hurry up and get to town.

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: Okay, Letpy, We'll grab your things. Let's go.

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay here for now. I'll let you

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: know if I hear anything else.

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: From h Q.

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: Sounds good, Leppie. Benny raced down to the city hall

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: to meet with the mayor. When he arrived, he asked

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: to speak with the mayor and they let him rite in.

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: The mayor said, Benny, I'm so glad you made it.

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: You see, the purple Ninjas came last night and did

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: something terrible. Remember, Benny had been hearing a lot about

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: purple ninjas recently, since Purple Ninjas were on Doctor Stinky

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: Brett's team. They were always looking to cause chaos. Holy smokes,

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: what did the purple Ninjas do now? He asked the Mayor,

44
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: you won't believe it.

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: They took everything from the donuts stores, all the donuts,

46
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: every single one.

47
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: Oh no, Benny shouted, not the donuts.

48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Benny really liked donuts, so he took this personally. I

49
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: can't let those purple Ninjas get away with this. We've

50
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: got to stop them. Thank you, Mayor. I'll get right

51
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: on it. So as Benny left, he started to think

52
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: of all those delicious donuts he might never ever eat again.

53
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be so sad if the Purple Ninjas stole

54
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: all the donuts. Oh, the cream feld ones, the sprinkles,

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: and the chocolate. Oh they're so good. Oh oh, I

56
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: gotta stop thinking about donuts because that's not gonna help.

57
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: We gotta focus on finding clues to help catch the

58
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: purple Ninjas. It was pretty easy for Benny to get

59
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: all caught up and thinking just about donuts. I don't

60
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: know about you, but that sometimes happens to me too.

61
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: All right, we gotta find some clues, and I think

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: the first place to go.

63
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: Is to the donuts store. Dundundun.

64
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Benny ran down the street as fast as he could

65
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: towards the nearest donut store and walked right in and

66
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: sure enough everything was missing, got a single donut anywhere,

67
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: and he asked the donut cook, uh, mister donut man,

68
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: or you back there?

69
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: Oh what happened here?

70
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: The donut Man was sitting behind the cabinet, sitting on

71
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the floor crying.

72
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: Last night.

73
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: The Purple Nines, they stole my donor.

74
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Benny had never seen a grown up cry about donuts before.

75
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, but he knew donuts were really important,

76
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: So he said, mister donut man, it's gonna be okay.

77
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna get your donuts back, but I just.

78
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 2: Need to know what happened.

79
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 4: See last night, it was just like a normal night,

80
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: you know. I I locked it up and then they

81
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: it's okay, mister donut man. It really just need you

82
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: to focus, maybe even take a deep breath. Please don't cry,

83
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: Just tell me what happened so that I can help you.

84
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 4: But the donut Man couldn't stop. He was so upset.

85
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: All he could do was just point at a video

86
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: screen over there, and it looked like, oh, those are

87
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: some security cameras that Benny could look at to see

88
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: you what exactly happened last night? The donut Man was

89
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: still sitting on the floor, and you just couldn't stop crying.

90
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: So I guess he wanted Benny to look at the

91
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: video and see what happened. Sure enough, holy smokes, whoa

92
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: look at that. Benny was watching the screen as he

93
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: saw two purple ninjas drop out of the ceiling. What

94
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: that's not even a door. How do they even come

95
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: through the ceiling? They just dropped right onto all the donuts?

96
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, is that a donut vacuum? Yes, the purple ninjas.

97
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: I had some kind of giant donut vacuum that was

98
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: sucking up all the donuts into a giant bag. Oh man,

99
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: I kinda wish I had a donut vacuum. Well, I

100
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: actually wish I had a donut bag full of Oh no,

101
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I gotta stop thinking about donuts again. Do you ever

102
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: find it hard to stop thinking about donuts? I definitely do.

103
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: I like donuts. I love sprinkles on chocolate donuts or cream. Anyway,

104
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: enough about donuts, Benny. He looked up at the ceiling

105
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: and sure enough, there wasn't a door, but there were

106
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: purple footprints on the ceiling.

107
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: What could those be?

108
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: From? The purple footprints? Went right across the whole ceiling

109
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: to the window. Holy smokes, Since when can purple ninjas

110
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: climbing the ceiling. I don't know they could do that,

111
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Benny looked out the window and sure enough,

112
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: there was a trail of purple footprints outside. Do you

113
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: think he should follow them?

114
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

115
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: I agree, he definitely should. So Benny said bye to

116
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: the man who is still sitting on the floor crying,

117
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: raced out the door to the back of the building

118
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: where the window was. Sure enough, there it was that

119
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: trail of purple footprints.

120
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: It's funny.

121
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't remember purple ninja's always leaving purple footprints behind. Hmmm.

122
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: Interesting.

123
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: So as he followed the footprints all the way into

124
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the forest, he found something that the footprints stopped right

125
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: in front of. It looked like a tree, but in

126
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: fact it was not your ordinary tree. There was a

127
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: little hole on the tree, and above it it looked

128
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: like a button. So Benny pushed the button and there

129
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: was a door on the tree that opened. Holy smokes,

130
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: I think we're getting closer, said Benny. He grabbed his

131
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: walkie talkie to radio back to Leppie. Sh Hey, Leppie,

132
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: I think I found where the purple Ninjas are hiding.

133
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: Sh rager that I'm tracking your location. Now I'll send

134
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: out a report to h Q. Now out sh Benny

135
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: then walked into the door of the tree. He could

136
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: smell donuts. I must be getting closer. Look, there's purple footprints.

137
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: What was that.

138
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like a purple ninja? Laugh?

139
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: Those those are frogmen. Holy smokes. Have you ever heard

140
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: of the frogman and his team?

141
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Oh they're dangerous, they like to take things too, and

142
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: it looks like they've painted themselves all in purple to

143
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: look just like purple ninjas. But oh, that's why they

144
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: could stick on the ceiling like that. Yeah, it's all

145
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: and it all makes sense.

146
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: You see.

147
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: Frogmen are just like frogs, and they have these really

148
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: sticky toes and sticky feet.

149
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: That help them climb up the walls.

150
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: And holy smokes, I'm gonna need some backup, said Benny

151
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: as he called in the rest of HQ, who raced

152
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: over to the secret tree in the forest, and just

153
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: like that, they blasted through the door and caught all

154
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: the frogmen. Yay, the whole town's donuts were saved.

155
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: Holy smokes.

156
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: Benny was so happy to bring this big pile of

157
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: donuts back to the donut man's store. The donut man said,

158
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: I missed them so much. What are you doing? Benny
