Let's go see you guys later, said Benny 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: as he got off of the school bus. It was 17 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: a beautiful day and school had just ended. Benny just 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: got off the bus. He was so excited to go 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: inside and hang out with his spy partner, Leppie the 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: Leper Gecko. As he walked inside, Leppie met him at the. 21 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: Door, Betty, you won't believe what happened. 22 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: What what happened? Asked Benny. 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 2: You see, we got a message from the mayor and 24 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: he needs our help. 25 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: Oh, the mayor, he's really nice, So what does he 26 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: need us to do. 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: The message says that there's purple ninjas that just came 28 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: into town last night. They did something terrible, said Leppie. 29 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: The mayor just needs to see you fast, so hurry 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: up and get to town. 31 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: Okay, Letpy, we'll grab your things, let's go. 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna stay here for now. I'll let you 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: know if I hear anything else. 34 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: From h Q. Sounds good, Leppie. Benny raced down to 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: the city hall to meet with the mayor. When he arrived, 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: he asked to speak with the mayor and they let 37 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: him write in. The mayor said, Benny, I'm so glad 38 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: you made it. You see, the Purple Ninjas came last 39 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: night and did something terrible. Remember, Benny had been hearing 40 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: a lot about purple ninjas recently, since Purple Ninjas were 41 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: on Doctor Stinkybread's team. They were always looking to cause chaos. 42 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, what did the purple Ninjas do now? He 43 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: asked the Mayor, you won't believe it. They took everything 44 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: from the donuts stores, all the donuts, every single one. 45 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: Oh no, Benny shouted, not the donuts. Benny really liked donuts, 46 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: so he took this personally. I can't let those purple 47 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: Ninjas get away with this. We've got to stop them. 48 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: Thank you, Mayor. I'll get right on it. So as 49 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: Benny left, he started to think of all those delicious 50 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: donuts he might never ever eat again. Wouldn't that be 51 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: so sad if the Purple Ninjas stole all the donuts. Oh, 52 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: the cream felt ones, the sprinkles, and the chocolate. Oh 53 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: they're so good. Oh oh, I gotta stop thinking about 54 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: donuts because that's not gonna help. We gotta focus on 55 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: finding clues to help catch the purple Ninjas. It was 56 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: pretty easy for Benny to get all caught up and 57 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: thinking just about donuts. I don't know about you, but 58 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: that sometimes happens to me too. All right, we gotta 59 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: find some clues, and I think the first place to 60 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: go is to the donuts store. Dundundun. Benny ran down 61 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: the street as fast as he could towards the nearest 62 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: donut store and walked right in and sure enough everything 63 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: was missing, not a single donut anywhere, And he asked 64 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: the donut cooku, mister donut man, or you back there? Oh, 65 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: what happened here? The donut Man was sitting behind the cabinet, 66 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: sitting on the floor crying. Last night, the purple ninges 67 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 1: they stole my donor. Benny had never seen a grown 68 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: up cry about donuts before. It's kind of funny, but 69 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: he knew donuts were really important, so he said, mister 70 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: donut man, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna get your 71 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: donuts back, but I just need to know what happened. 72 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: See last night, it was just like a normal night, 73 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: you know. I logged it up and then they it's okay, 74 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: mister donut man. I really just need you to focus, 75 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: maybe even take a deep breath. Please don't cry, Just 76 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: tell me what happened so that I can help you. 77 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: But the donut Man couldn't stop. He was so upset. 78 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: All he could do was just point at a video 79 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: screen over there, and it looked like, oh, those are 80 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: some security cameras that Benny could look at to see 81 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: you what exactly happened last night? The donut Man was 82 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: still sitting on the floor and he just couldn't stop crying. 83 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: So I guess he wanted Benny to look at the 84 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: video and see what happened. Sure enough, holy smokes, whoa 85 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: look at that. Benny was watching the screen as he 86 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: saw two purple ninjas drop out of the ceiling. What 87 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: that's not even a door. How do they even come 88 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: through the ceiling? They just dropped right onto all the donuts. 89 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 1: Oh no, is that a donut vacuum? Yes, the purple 90 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: Ninjas had some kind of giant donut vacuum that was 91 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: sucking up all the donuts into a giant bag. Oh man, 92 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: I kind of wish I had a donut vacuum. Well, 93 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: I actually wish I had a donut bag full of 94 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: Oh no, I gotta stop thinking about donuts again. Do 95 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: you ever find it hard to stop thinking about donuts? 96 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: I definitely do. I like donuts. I love sprinkles on 97 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: chocolate donuts or cream fi Anyway, enough about donuts, Benny. 98 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: He looked about the ceiling, and sure enough, there wasn't 99 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: a door, but there were purple footprints on the ceiling. 100 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: What could those be? From? The purple footprints went right 101 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: across the whole ceiling to the window. Holy smokes, sins. 102 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: When can purple ninjas climbing the ceiling. I don't know 103 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: they could do that, that's crazy. Benny looked out the 104 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: window and sure enough, there was a trail of purple 105 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: footprints outside. Do you think he should follow them? Yeah? 106 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: I agree, he definitely should. So Benny said bye to 107 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: the donut man, who is still sitting on the floor crying, 108 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: raced out the door to the back of the building 109 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: where the window was. Sure enough, there it was that 110 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: trail of purple footprints. It's funny. I don't remember purple 111 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: Ninja's always leaving purple footprints behind. Hmmm. Interesting. So as 112 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: he followed the footprints all the way into the forest, 113 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: he found something that the footprints stopped right in front of. 114 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: Looked like a tree, but in fact it was not 115 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: your ordinary tree. There was a little hole on the tree, 116 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: and above it it looked like a button. So Benny 117 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: pushed the button and there was a door on the 118 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: tree that opened. Holy smokes, I think we're getting closer, 119 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: said Benny. He grabbed his walkie talkie to radio back 120 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: to Leppie. Sh Hey, Leppie, I think I found where 121 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,559 Speaker 1: the purple Ninjas are hiding. 122 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: Sh rager, that tracking your location. Now I'll send out 123 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: a report to h Q. 124 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Now out sh Benny then walked into the door of 125 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: the tree. He could smell donuts. It must be getting closer. Look, 126 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: there's purple footprints. What was that. That doesn't sound like 127 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: a purple ninja? 128 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: Laugh? 129 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: Those those are frogmen. Holy smokes. Have you ever heard 130 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: of the frogman and his team? Oh they're dangerous, they 131 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: like to take things too, and it looks like they've 132 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: painted themselves all in purple to look just like purple ninjas. 133 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: But oh, that's why they could stick on the ceiling 134 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, it's all and it all makes sense. 135 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: You see. Frogmen are just like frogs, and they have 136 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: these really sticky toes and sticky feet that help them 137 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: climb up the walls. And holy smokes, I'm gonna need 138 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: some backup, said Benny as he called in the rest 139 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: of HQ, who raced over to the secret tree in 140 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: the forest, and just like that, they blasted through the 141 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: door and caught all the frogmen. Yay, the whole town's 142 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: donuts were saved. Holy smokes. Benny was so happy to 143 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: bring this big pile of donuts back to the donut 144 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: man's store. The donut man said, I missed them so much. 145 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: What you what are you doing? Benny was pretty confused 146 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: as he watched this grown up hugged donuts. Benny looked 147 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: around and said, ummm, I think I gotta go. He 148 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: walked out the door and the donut man was still 149 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: hugging all of his donuts. Benny raced back home to 150 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: see Leppie, who was waiting for him at the door. 151 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,119 Speaker 2: Wat job, Betty. Leppie said, you saved all the donuts. 152 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: You know how many people aren't gonna be happy to 153 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 2: have their donuts back? 154 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: My guess is a lot. But I can think of 155 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: two that are gonna be really happy. The donut back. 156 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: Who's that?
