[narrator] The Little Tokyo big business association,
and Big Al Dente's drones are on dusting duty.
Big Al uses psychology to inspire them.
Last one of you finished goes for a swim in the piranha pool
Indifference grips the room,
Al's drones knows he's kidding.
He's cuddly, not cruel.
And indeed, just moments later,
he's humbling pitching in himself
when a thought strikes him.
Hey, we can put the books up here, not on these shelves.
Brilliant thought, Al.
Oh, oh, look out!
[crashing]
-Whoa! -Good form, boss.
The scream the last minute was excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Well, back to work, boys. You're just extras.
[all] Mm.
[gasps]
To further the plot, Big Al notices just one of the many
books strewn at his feet.
Hm.
The pluperfects of junctive. It's all scribbles to me.
Hey, this is by the architect who built this place.
And he says the design has a major flaw.
Hm, never says what flaw.
"By Eye Beam." Hm.
Eye Beam?
A major flaw. This could be the scandal we need
to topple the government.
Who needs a scandal? If the flaw is major enough,
we can just topple the building.
The government's in it, it'll topple with it.
Hm, I'm proud of you, Jerry.
What a despicable idea. You're getting as rotten as me.
But first, we have to find that flaw.
Get Bad Bird right on it.
We have to find this Eye Beam clown at once.
Check, chief.
Eye Beam. I know that name. Something happened to him.
Eye Beam. I know that name.
Something happened to him.
-[humming] -Huh?
Whoa! Why, you. How dare you trip me!
That does it, floor. I'm sending you to prisoner island!
Hm. Oh, yes. That's it.
[narrator] Within minutes, Big Al has called our heroes
downtown for a briefing.
[Francine] Okay, pizza fans, behind the white lion,
'cause when I pull the trigger, the cats will go flying!
Thank you. Kaboom.
Boy, are they lucky.
They don't ever have to wait for a bus.
Now, now, dear. A bus will be along in a minute.
Huh, you've been saying that for 26 episodes.
[gong]
And that was that.
What? The princess sent this Eye Beam to Prisoner Island?
Has Prisoner Island been mentioned yet?
[narrator] Many times, Polly.
But to recap, Prisoner Island is Princess Vi's sinister
south sea's sun spot set aside for the suffering
of all she's sends there.
Right, but do we know why she sent this architect guy there?
Mm-hm. He and the princess were playing a videogame.
They were celebrating the completion
of her royal chambers.
-Suddenly-- -Hm?
Oh! Guards, send this traitor to Prisoner Island!
What happened? Did the roof cave in, or something?
No. He accidently won the video game.
[all] Oh.
Well, that would do it.
No kidding. He got off easy.
No, she doesn't take kindly to losing.
What we need now is to ask Eye Beam about this major flaw
before the roof does cave in.
Your mission is to get to Prisoner Island
and to get the whole story from Beam.
[narrator] Little Tokyo harbor.
Big Al has arranged for a launch,
but not all our crime busting kitty crusaders
are looking forward to the trip.
Prisoner Island. This place doesn't sound like fun
in the sun to me.
Yeah, nothing like a bunch of political prisoners to kill
a good time at the beach.
Enough, this mission is important.
Get your mind off of catnaps and bathing beauties,
we've got a building to save.
Oh, the launch!
-Wow. -Whoopie.
[all] Hey!
Bad Bird? What's he doing here?
Stealing your boat, obviously.
We've spied on your every move.
You'll never get to see Eye Beam.
No, fair. Bad Bird. You can just fly to Prisoner Island.
You're cheating.
What else is new? But Big Frank, our robot,
can't fly.
Goobie-doobie-doo.
[roars]
Have a nice swim!
[laughs]
I hate swimming. How inconsiderate can you get?
Hey, no way. I'd go on strike before I swim a stroke.
I'm a cat here.
Enter the rescue team!
Oh, Meowzma, Bat Cat.
[Polly] Whoa, good timing, guys.
-Got a spare boat? -Yeah, we missed ours.
No problem, we'll take the low road and be on Prisoner Island
while Bad Bird's still stuck in sea spray.
Yeah, because I'll take the high road and drop off a small
surprise I brought along.
You're the best, guys.
Pizza Cats forever. On to victory!
[all] Meow!
[narrator] As Meowzma lays out the low road,
the cats have a question.
How did you guys know we were in trouble?
Oh, you always screw up somehow.
What? I resent that remark,
even if it is undeniably true.
♪ I saw you last night♪
[both] More, more singing, Big Frank.
Yay, we're all yellow eyes.
The voice is gone, but, wow, that phrasing.
♪ If I had time♪
I hate to be a picnic pooper, fellas, but, yah!
-Whoa! -Yah.
Haha, bird's eye!
[yelling]
Hey, you spilled my crows-elee.
Don't just stand down, get us out of here.
Faster. What wrong with you?
Do I have to take the wheel myself?
The bombs. They shattered the propeller.
They what?
Good, they couldn't blend bird seed with that thing now.
[narrator] Meanwhile, Meowzma motors on.
[giggles]
It sure beats swimming, huh?
Or does it? Much later...
How far is this place anyhow?
[sighs]
Oh. My aching paws.
-Yeah. -At least when you swim,
you get to drown when you're tired.
Made it!
Yay!
Holy cow, it's the middle of the night.
The middle of the night, when Prisoner Island looks
its spookiest.
Great, a rock shaped like a skull.
They always mean trouble. Now we can't risk taking a rest.
Bad Bird wouldn't mind a rest, either.
♪ From enchanted evening♪
♪ You'll be farming, granger♪
Meanwhile, the cats have a hefty head start
in the search of Eye Beam.
What an awful place. Princess Vi should be ashamed
of sending all those people here.
Oh, what people? We haven't seen a soul.
But what's keeping Bad Cat?
He can scout things out from the air at least.
[screeches]
You just watch what you're doing, you cat-touching twerp.
I didn't do anything.
So you're the wise guy!
No, honest. I'm married.
[both] Well, somebody's doing it.
[all yell]
Same to you, smarty.
Nya-nya.
Yipe, whoa!
[Polly screams] Watch it, Speedy.
Oh, bad breath!
Now!
Hey! Whoa!
[screams]
[both] Speedy!
Go to a commercial, quick.
[Polly] Speedy!
Dawn, and still no sign of Speedy.
Speedy, where are you?
We've searched every inch of this jungle and still nothing.
Don't worry, Polly. Maybe no news is good news.
Oh, for all we know, he landed on his feet for once,
and he's looking for us.
He'd never land on his feet, but not having found his mangled
body is hopeful.
Yeah, come on.
Oh, that must have been some party.
[groans]
[screams] No!
If Speedy's up a tree, Bad Bird is beached, or bushed.
Or both.
[breathing heavily]
You said it, man.
Hm? Pizza Cat tracks.
They got here first? How did they do that?
Enough questions. After them, you claws.
♪ Towed the boat to shore Hallelujah♪
Fall in!
What's the use? Fall down.
♪ That big blue sea was chilly And cold♪
Almost there. Don't look down.
That's it. Oh, I hate heights. I can't wait to get out of here.
[yells]
Gee, could things get any worse, I wonder.
[yells]
It was a rhetorical question!
[cries]
Wait a sec, maybe this is better. I got a lift at least.
Driver, just put me down gently now, if you will.
Look, I got people to see.
Hey, want a tip? Then land!
[screeches]
I said land, not let go!
Haven't you been watching? I hate swimming!
[yells]
Well, I can. I can!
Nice fishy, good fishy. Go away fishy.
What's this here?
Speedy, relax. The shortsighted lane brain missed you.
But don't stop sprinting!
You're half way up the water fall!
Oh, why do I bother?
He never listens to me.
You're on your own, kid.
Huh?
Sail boards, sandy beach, audacious babes.
Great. Who knows what's going on and the narrator's mad at me.
[woman] Oh, it's wonderful.
Hey!
What happening?
Hey, I died and went to heaven.
Nah, heaven can never be this good. Narrator!
[narrator] Oh, alright. Stand still, and I'll explain.
On the left side of your screen,
the spooky skull-shaped rock of Prisoner Island.
That's the side seen from Little Tokyo.
But on the right, the other side of the island,
a balmy beach resort, completely hidden
from the prying eyes of Princess Vi.
You mean, these are the prisoners of Prisoner Island?
Sure, some punishment, huh?
Take a look at that statue.
[Speedy] Hey, that's Princess Vi.
Let's see, it says, "To commemorate the sweetest
sound a citizen of Little Tokyo could ever hear."
I'm sending you to Prisoner Island!
[happy chatter]
Phew! If she only knew.
Let's see. What's over here?
[Bat] Good, good. You've got it.
That's the ladies. That's what they're dancing in Little Tokyo.
Hey, that's Bat Cat!
Why you little--Oh!
Hey, Speedy!
At last. I'd thought you'd never get here, dude.
-What kept you? -What kept me?
What kept you? While you boogied, I nearly died
in a bush. Where were you?
Hey, I thought our missions was to find Eye Beam.
I did that, and figured my time was my own.
-He's here? -Sure, this is his villa.
Come on, let's go say hi.
What do you know, here he comes now. Hi, Eye.
Hello.
How do you do, sir? Are your really the Eye Beam?
The one and only.
Gee, sir. We have to talk.
Fine. Bat Cat told me all about your secret mission.
I'll gladly tell you about that flaw.
But while we talk, let's party.
What? -Arriba!
[narrator] As the party purrs into gear,
the others finally hit the beach.
And their agony of not finding Speedy gives way to amazement.
Gosh, I'm amazed.
Gosh, I'm aroused.
[giggling]
Nothing like foxy felines to help you get over your grief.
All you girls who want to date a super hero,
form a double line here.
[groan]
[cheering]
So if I understand you correctly, you're the genius
behind this whole set up, Mr. Beam?
I'm too modest to admit to genius,
but I did work wonders, yes.
When I got here, this island was the tropical pits.
Now, thanks to my architectural skill,
and the efforts of my fellow exiles,
it's a tropical paradise.
[woman] Yowzah, party animals. More sun-starved guests
from Little Tokyo. Meet Polly and Meowzma.
[cheering]
-Hi, guys. -Where have you been?
-Speedy? -And Bat Cat?
[narrator] It was a touching reunion.
How dare you be alive?
We were worried sick, and all the time you were here
living like Merve Griffin.
Hey, I was going to look for you too,
but I got ambushed by a fish.
But say, where's Guido?
He's down at the beach, making outrageous suggestions
to cure girls.
Before you started partying, I hope you found out about
that flaw at least.
No, I was just going to, and you belted me hello.
-Mr. Beam? -[screams]
Speedy, am I glad to see you. We've got trouble.
With cute girls?
No, with Bad Bird's robot!
Doobie-doobie-doo. Catch!
[narrator] Yes, Big Frank's loves to party,
but he can get carried away.
Hey, go!
Go for it, Frank. Party this place to bits
'till these folks hand over Eye Beam.
[Speedy] Ho-Ho-Ho.
Give it up, Bad Bird.
That tenured bunch of bolts, and all your troops
won't bother Mr. Beam.
Correct. 'Cause we've already got him.
And Mr. Beam doesn't care to come out to play.
But I'll play for you
with the passion power of love.
You know, considering our past meetings,
shouldn't you quit now?
-Cause we're-- -The Samurai Pizza Cats.
[both] Featuring the rescue team.
Get them!
Then I'll fight!
[yells]
Doobie-doobie-whoa!
Hey, this menace is modular.
Oh, well. That's one piece taken care of.
Oh, yeah?
Eek! Alright, so I made a mistake.
Big deal. So you come apart, I'll see you stay apart.
Doobie-Doobie-do--Ah!
[growls]
[Polly yells]
-Run! -I'm running, I'm running.
Well, we're the rescue team, why are we just standing here?
Hey, good point.
[narrator] With that, Bat Cat and Meowzma
mobilize backpacks to create...
The silliest darn weapon this series has seen yet.
The singing robot wrecking rotor.
Told ya. But, hey, they're just the rescue team.
And it does work.
[explosion]
Yipe, Big Frank, reassemble, quick!
Easy for you to say, where am I?
Where is this?
That'll do just fine, you transformer turkey,
'cause being a royal pain and for impersonating
a truly great crooner, you're being scrapped!
Jump pack.
[narrator] You've seen it all before, fans,
and you're seeing it again.
The swirling pink flame,
the convenient pop top scabbard,
as Speedy unsheathes the magical Ginzu sword!
Oh, and it's less often mentioned companion sword,
Benji. For those of you who's noticed. He has two.
Ginzu power away! Yah!
-What? -[explosion]
[yelling]
Victory! Everyone on for the pose.
[both] Ta-dah!
[groans]
So this letter you brought back is from Eye Beam.
And it tell us where the flaw is.
Big Al got a letter? Fine, then steal it.
I've got to know where that flaw is.
The flaw is in the floorboards of the north wing
in Seymour Cheese's chambers.
Where is it? Where is it?
Boss! Boss, you found it!
-Boss? -[explosion]
Oh.
Gee, that's not so bad.
[narrator] No, and neither is life on Prisoner Island,
where the cats are catching some rays and laying low
'till Big Al needs them again.
But as they frolic, Eye Beam knows that the secret
of Prisoner Island is safe with them.
Princess Vi can't banish everyone,
and with sun like this, who'd stay in Little Tokyo?
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Samurai Pizza Cat fan club oath.
The Pizza Cats are samurai,
and I'd like to note:
their antics take your breath away
like fur balls in your throat.
We kittens are a special breed.
We never call a retreat.
Whenever Big Cheese knocks us down,
we land upon our feet.
[narrator] So hail to thee, oh, Pizza Cat.
Please ring your little bell.
Although you may be pen and ink,
-we know you'll fight like-- -Pizza Cats!
