It was a beautiful day 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: and school had just ended. Benny just got off the bus. 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: He was so excited to go inside and hang out 20 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: with his spy partner, Leppie the Leper Gecko. As he 21 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: walked inside, Leppie met him at the door. Betty you 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: won't believe what happened? What what happened? Asked Benny. You see, 23 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: we got a message from the mayor and he needs 24 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: our help. Oh the mayor, he's really nice, So what 25 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: does he need us to do. The message says that 26 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: there's purple ninjas that just came into town last night. 27 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: They did something terrible, said Leppie. The mayor just needs 28 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: to see you fast, so hurry up and get to town. Okay, Letpy, 29 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: We'll grab your things. Let's go. I'm just gonna stay 30 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: here for now. I'll let you know if I hear 31 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: anything else. 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: From h Q. 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: Sounds good, Leppie. Benny raced down to the city hall 34 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: to meet with the mayor. When he arrived, he asked 35 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: to speak with the mayor. They let him write in. 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 3: The mayor said, Benny, I'm so glad you made it. 37 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 3: You see, the purple Ninjas came last night and did 38 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 3: something terrible. Remember, Benny had been hearing a lot about 39 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 3: purple ninjas recently, since Purple Ninjas were on Doctor Stinkybread's team. 40 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: They were always looking to cause chaos. Holy smokes, what 41 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: did the purple Ninjas do? Now? 42 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: He asked the mayor. You won't believe it. 43 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: They took everything from the donuts stores, all the donuts, 44 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: every single one. 45 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: Oh no, Benny shouted. 46 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 2: Not the donuts. 47 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: Benny really liked donuts, so he took this personally. I 48 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: can't let those purple Ninjas get away with this. We've 49 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: got to stop them. Thank you, Mayor, I'll get right 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: on it. So as Benny left, he started to think 51 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: of all those delicious donuts he might never ever eat again. 52 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be so sad if the Purple Ninjas stole 53 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: all the donuts. Oh, the cream feld ones, the sprinkles, 54 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: and the chocolate. Oh they're so good. Oh oh, I 55 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: gotta stop thinking about donuts because that's not gonna help. 56 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: We gotta focus on finding clues to help catch the 57 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: purple Ninjas. It was pretty easy for Benny to get 58 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: all caught up and thinking just about donuts. I don't 59 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: know about you, but that sometimes happens to me too. 60 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: All right, we gotta find some clues, and I think 61 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: the first place to go. 62 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: Is to the donuts store. Dundundun. 63 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: Benny ran down the street as fast as he could 64 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: towards the nearest donut store and walked right in and 65 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: sure enough, everything was missing, got a single donut anywhere, 66 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: and he asked the donut cook, uh, mister donut man, 67 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: or you back there? Oh what happened here? The donut 68 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: Man was sitting behind the cabinet, sitting on the floor, crying. 69 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 3: Last night, the purple ninges they stole my donor. 70 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: Benny had never seen a grown up cry about donuts before. 71 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, but he knew donuts were really important, 72 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: so he said, mister donut man, it's gonna be okay. 73 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna get your donuts back, but I just need 74 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: to know what happened. 75 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: See last night, it was just like a normal night, 76 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: you know. 77 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: I I logged it up and then they it's okay, 78 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: mister donut man. It really just need you to focus, 79 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: maybe even take a deep breath. Please don't cry, Just 80 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: tell me what happened so that I can help you. 81 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: But the donut Man couldn't stop. He was so upset. 82 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: All he could do was just point at a video 83 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: screen over there, and it looked like, oh, those are 84 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: some security cameras that Benny could look at to see 85 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: you what exactly happened last night? The donut Man was 86 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: still sitting on the floor and he just couldn't stop crying. 87 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: So I guess he wanted Benny to look at the 88 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: video and see what happened. Sure enough, holy smokes, whoa 89 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: look at that. Benny was watching the screen as he 90 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: saw two purple ninjas drop out of the ceiling. What 91 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: that's not even a door. How do they even come 92 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: through the ceiling? They just dropped right onto all the donuts? 93 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: Oh no, is that a donut vacuum? Yes, the purple 94 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: Ninjas had some kind of giant donut vacuum that was 95 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: sucking up all the donuts into a giant bag. Oh man, 96 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: kind of wish I had a donut vacuum. Well, I 97 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: actually wish I had a donut bag full of Oh no, 98 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: I gotta stop thinking about donuts again. Do you ever 99 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: find it hard to stop thinking about donuts? I definitely do. 100 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: I like donuts. I love sprinkles on chocolate donuts or 101 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: cream fi Anyway, enough about donuts, Benny. He looked up 102 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: at the ceiling and sure enough, there wasn't a door, 103 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: but there were purple footprints on the ceiling. What could 104 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: those be from? The purple footprints went right across the 105 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: whole ceiling to the window. Holy smokes, sins. When can 106 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: purple ninjas climbing the ceiling. I don't know they could 107 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: do that, that's crazy. Benny looked out the window and 108 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: sure enough, there was a trail of purple footprints outside. 109 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: Do you think he should follow them? Yeah? I agree, 110 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: he definitely should. So Benny said bye to the own man, 111 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: who is still sitting on the floor crying, raced out 112 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: the door to the back of the building where the 113 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: window was. Sure enough, there it was that trail of 114 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: purple footprints. It's funny, I don't remember purple ninja's always 115 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: leaving purple footprints behind. Hmmm. Interesting. So as he followed 116 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: the footprints all the way into the forest, he found 117 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: something that the footprint stopped right in front of. It 118 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: looked like a tree, but in fact it was not 119 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: your ordinary tree. There was a little hole on the tree, 120 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: and above it it looked like a button. So Benny 121 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: pushed the button and there was a door on the 122 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: tree that opened. Holy smokes, I think we're getting closer, 123 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: said Benny. He grabbed his walkie talkie to radio back 124 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: to Leppie. Sh Hey, Leppie, I think I found where 125 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: the purple Ninjas are hiding. Sh rager that I'm tracking 126 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: your location. Now I'll send out a report to HQ. 127 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: Now over out s Benny then walked into the door 128 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: of the tree. He could smell donuts. I must be 129 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: getting closer. Look, there's purple footprints. What was that. That 130 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a purple ninja? Laugh? 131 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: Those those are frogmen. Holy smokes. Have you ever heard 132 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 2: of the frogman and his team? 133 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: Oh they're dangerous, they like to take things too, and 134 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: it looks like they've painted themselves all in purple to 135 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: look just like purple ninjas. But oh, that's why they 136 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: could stick on the ceiling like that. Yeah, it's all 137 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: and it all makes sense. You see. Frogmen are just 138 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: like frogs, and they have these really sticky toes and 139 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: sticky feet that help them climb up the walls. And 140 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: holy smokes, I'm gonna need some backup, said Benny as 141 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: he called in the rest of HQ, who raced over 142 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: to the secret tree in the forest, and just like that, 143 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: they blasted through the door and caught all the frogmen. 144 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: Yay, the whole town's donuts were saved. 145 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: Holy smokes. Benny was so happy to bring this big 146 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: pile of donuts back to the donut man's store. The 147 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: donut man said, I missed them so much. What are 148 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: you doing? Benny was pretty confused as he watched this 149 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: grown up hugged donuts. Ben He looked around and said, ummm, 150 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: I think I gotta go. He walked out the door 151 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: and the donut man was still hugging all of his donuts. 152 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: Benny raced back home to see Leppie, who was waiting 153 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: for him at the door. Wat job, Betty. Leppie said, 154 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: you saved all the donuts.
