Max arrives at a bus station locker and receives his orders from a self-destructing tape recorder, a la Mission: Impossible. The tape recorder explodes, destroying everything but the tape. Max assembles his team (he and 99) and they must stop The Leader from smuggling The Hellman Theory out of the country. When they discover that The Leader is a member of Herb Talbot's Tijuana Tin, Max goes undercover as a trumpet player and 99 as a dancer dressed like Charlie Chaplin. Since he can't play the trumpet, Dr. Simon creates a computer trumpet that plays whatever song you speak into the mouthpiece. Unfortunately, The Leader discovers their real identities and Max and 99 end up trapped in a room with KAOS agents on each side. Since death is inevitable, Max confesses to 99 that he loves her and that he would marry her if they could only get out of this situation. Suddenly inspired, 99 comes up with a plan and they manage to escape KAOS, but Max can't escape his marriage promise.
