How about our
trench coats, dudes?

[Raphael]
Those old things?

We always wear those.

Eh, too itchy.

Who thought those
were a good idea?

Hey, we've
never worn these.

And let's keep it that way.

I've always wanted
to try them on.

We can't boogie around the
streets without a disguise.

Wait a minute.
Why are we
going up to the streets?

Yeah. We've watched every
video in the rental store.

And I've used up every weird
pizza recipe in the book.

And Shredder's off
in Dimension X.

Turtles, let's face it:

we are stuck in a rut.

A rut?

Dude, we are in a canyon.

Somewhere in this vast city

there must be
something exciting happening.

Yeah, but wherever it is,

it ain't here.

[tires squealing]

[shouting, screaming]

What is it you want?
Shall I empty out
the cash register?

Open the jewelry case?

No. We've come
for your cufflinks.

[laughing]

Our cufflinks?

Yeah. Now, fork 'em over

and no smart tricks.

[shouting]

[gasps]

My cufflinks!
They're gone!

Even my Captain Equinox
cufflinks

with the secret decoder!

[crying]

Men with loose cuffs
in the opera house.

It's the social scandal
of the season.

It seems no cufflink is safe
from these brazen criminals

as their crime wave
continues unchecked,

but I'm going to
stay on the trail

of these bizarre robberies

in order to help make
shirts throughout the city

safe once more

and win several prestigious
journalism awards.

Boy, is that
ever incredible.

Yeah, April's never
won an award before.

No, I mean the burglaries.

Nobody can figure out
what's going on.

Cufflinks are vanishing
all over the city,

but why?

What could the robbers
possible want?

I know!

They want cufflinks!

Could we pretend
we've never met?

But why steal cufflinks?

It's mind-boggling.

It's baffling.

It's--
Incredibly stupid!

Yeah, and it's up to us
to get to the bottom of it.

Fellow Turtles, I think
we've found a way
out of our rut.

That's right.

Well-dressed men
everywhere are counting on us.

The first thing to do is
figure out where the crooks
are likely to strike next.

Ah-hah!
Here's a likely target.

Gargantuan toy company

to give retirement ceremony
for top toy designer.

What makes you think
they'll strike there?

Hey, genius,
whenever they retire a guy,

they give him a set
of gold cufflinks.

Gee, these things
are a little tight.

And you're the guy
who couldn't wait
to try them on.

You can't wear that thing!

Man, is this totally
not my style, or what?

And now, the final touch.

What every well-dressed
turtle is wearing.

Why, I have never seen you
so well-dressed before.

We are quite the dapper
dudes, aren't we?

Mm, yes.

But what are you doing?

Oh, well, you see,
Master Splinter,

we thought we'd investigate
these cufflink robberies.

Ah, so that is why
you are all dressed up.

That's right.

Anyone who tries
to steal these babies

is going to have
to tangle with me.

Can you believe it?
And they were the
last ones in the shop, too.

Boy, we get all dressed up,

and we can't even get in
through the front door.

Dude, remember?
We're crashing this party.

I wonder what's for dinner.

Whatever it is,
I hope it's pizza.

In a classy joint like this?

It better be.

Uh, we're with the
Halloween products division.

Words cannot do justice

to the many fine toys that
Everett Wagstaff has invented

for this company.

The Chatty Charmane doll.

Can I have a new toy, daddy?

Can I? Can I?
Can I? Huh? Please?

And who could forget
the Transfarmers,

the robots that turn into
barnyard machinery?

And of course,
the Little Wonder
Junior as*ault weapon.

[screaming]

All right, buddy,
drop the toy.

Okay, you'se guys,

we want all of your cufflinks.

The cufflink robbers!

Should we take them now?

No, we'll get the drop
on them on their way out.

Just hand them over
nice and easy,

and you'se won't get
your shirts ruffled.

Take 'em!

Yeah!

You cufflink crooks
are about to get collared!

Whoa!

Hey, what is this?

Bowling for Turtles?

Run for it!

Ow!
Oof.

Hey, is it me, or
is there something
familiar about those guys?

Those were Big Louis' men.

Don't tell me that
gangster's back in action.

That's right, and we've
got to find out

why he's after
all those cufflinks.

How?
Call him up
and ask him?

Nope. We're going to
have to switch sides.

But we're the good guys.

The only way to get
at the bottom of this

is from the top.

We're gonna join
Big Louis' mob.

We still ain't found
those cufflinks, Shredder.

What?

Big Louis, you
incompetent chiseler.

I must have
the cufflinks of Cathay!

Leave us not
lose our cool, Shredder.

My men are--

Your men are
not doing enough.

Get me those cufflinks!

Boy, what a grouch.

But how am I
gonna find those things?

[Leonardo]
How about if we guys
take a crack at it?

The Turtles!

You dirty reptiles.
It's curtains for you.

Relax, Big Louis.
We've had it with
the hero racket.

Yeah, we're tired of
working for pizza crust.

We want in on
the real dough.

You see, we want a part
of the big time rackets.

Like cufflinks.

Oh, okay.

But first you boys gotta
do a little job
to prove you're on the level.

What job?

Mayhaps you mugs
have heard

of a cheap hood named
Babyface Cleaver?

You mean
Babyface "The Beaver" Cleaver?

Him and his mob have been
giving me trouble
on the south side.

I want you guys to go up
there and put him on ice.

Put him on ice?

Dude, suddenly I have
a feeling we're in
way over our shells.

You heard me.

I want you to put
Babyface "The Beaver" Cleaver

and his mob on ice.

We can't do that.
We're the heroes.

What's the matter?
Don't tell me
you green guys are yellow.

We'll put him
on ice for ya...

[weakly]
somehow.

Okay, boys.
You heard
the big cheese.

We gotta get
those meatballs.

Whoa, all this gangster talk
is making me hungry.

He said we've got to put
Babyface "The Beaver" Cleaver
on ice.

And that's what
we're gonna do.

Look, it's
the Beaver's hideout.

Oh, you mean that
incredibly stylish
four-story shopping mall?

No, I mean that incredibly
run-down old warehouse
next to the mall.

How come these gangster dudes
always hang out in
old abandoned warehouses?

Because there aren't any
old, abandoned
luxury penthouse suites.

Who are you guys?

What do you want?

Big Louis said
we should pay
you a visit.

Gosh, Beav,
what're you gonna do?

I don't know, Wally.

Maybe we should
grease these g*ons.

What do you think?

Gee, Beav, I'm not sure.

We could get into
a lot of trouble,
and stuff.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Maybe we should ask
dad first.

Maybe you guys should
make up your minds
while we're still young.

Oh, okay.

Hey, no fair, you guys!

We got the toys.
Now for the boys.

Ah, gee, Wally.
Maybe we better scram.

After them!

[screaming]

Whoa!

That is absolutely
the last time

I attempt a
Dorothy Hammel impression.

Yaaow!

Got you, dude!

Michelangelo, I have
news for you.

Oof!

Your figure-eights need work.

Oh, no, it's
a Zamboni machine!

No, it's not, dude!

It's that thing
that smoothes out the ice!

A Zamboni machine
is the thing
that smoothes out the ice.

Uh, boys, can we
argue about this later?

We're about to be turned into
turtle pancakes!

Look, a little crack
in the ice.

Everybody, hit that spot!
Now!

Ha ha!
So long, boys.

The police will be along
in a while to give you a
lecture on good manners.

Oh, gee, Wally,

maybe those guys
don't play fair.

We did exactly what
you told us, Big Louis.

We put the Beaver
and his pals on ice.

Now, what gives
with these cufflinks?

We're just after one pair:
the cufflinks of Cathay.

What's so special
about Chinese cufflinks?

Because the Chinese invented
expl*sives thousands of years
before anyone else.

Yeah.
So?

Well, this one Chinese guy

created an expl*sive
so powerful, it could
blow up a city!

In order to disguise it,
he shaped it to
look like a ruby.

Centuries later, a munitions
expert found it

and brought it to this country

disguised as
one of a pair of cufflinks.

But the cufflinks vanished,

and now certain,
shall we say "parties,"

will pay a fortune for them.

Now go find them cufflinks.

Okay, we know why
Big Louis wants
the cufflinks.

Why don't we
just nab him?

Didn't you hear what he said
about a certain party?

We've got to find out
who that certain party is.

Whoever it is,
he's bound to be
the brains behind this caper.

What do you mean,

Big Louis still hasn't
found the cufflinks?

We must be patient, Krang.

Those cufflinks
are bound to turn up.

What do you want with fashion
accessories, anyway, boss?

Yeah.

You'll never get cufflinks
to fit on those
metal sleeves of yours.

You idiots!

One of the cufflinks contains
enough expl*sive

to blow the Technodrome
free from this lava bed.

[Krang]
The foot soldiers have been
chipping away at it for weeks

without putting a dent in it.

We must get
the Technodrome free

and those cufflinks are
just the thing to do it.

We've got to find
that expl*sive

before Big Louis and his
mysterious backers do.

Yeah; whoever possesses
those cufflinks

could rule the world!

Isn't that just about
the silliest thing
you've ever heard?

But dudes, where do
we look for them?

Hey, I've got a hunch.

Ever hear of
Pietro Calzone?

The Pizza Tycoon?

Owner of all those
Calzone's pizza parlors?

Delivery guaranteed
within six hours

or else your pizza
is cold?

Yeah, that's him.

I've read somewhere that he's
an avid antique collector,

especially of cufflinks.

That's right!

He's supposed to have
the largest collection
in the world!

And I'll bet that's
where we find
the cufflinks of Cathay.

To the Calzone mansion,
Michelangelo,

and step on it.

April, why are we going
to the Calzone mansion?

Because the man's
a cufflink freak,

and I'm betting that's where
the robbers will strike next.

[tires squealing]

I don't like this, dudes.

Me neither. I much prefer
French Provincial architecture.

No, I mean breaking
and entering.

It's totally against
the turtle code!

Are you kidding, Michelangelo?

The fate of the world
is at stake.

And besides, we forgot
to bring the Turtle code book.

Uh, guys, we're not alone.

April, what are
you doing here?

I was just about to
ask you the same thing.

No fair.
We asked first.

April's figured it all out.

This is where the crooks
are going to strike next.

Uh, yeah, I'd say that
was a distinct possibility.

Uh, there's just
one problem, April.

What's that?

We're the crooks.

You?
What do you mean?

Big Louis is after
a cufflink that contains
a powerful expl*sive,

and we've gotta
get it first.

You two had better beat it.

This could get dangerous.

Yeah. Yeah.
Maybe they're right, April.

No way!
We're staying right here.

This is news, and
we're gonna cover it.

Whoa, this is my
kind of place.

Whoa!
A giant pizza cutter!

Stay on guard.

The house is probably
loaded with booby traps.

k*ller pizza trays?

Heavy duty.

Boy, this guy's even
more hung up on pizza
than we are.

Yeah, what's he
gonna do next?

Spray us with tomato sauce?

Ya!

I had to ask.

Whoa, dudes,
check out all the cufflinks.

Confederate cufflinks.

[Donatello]
Greek cufflinks.

[Raphael]
Ancient Egyptian cufflinks?

[Donatello]
And the cufflinks of Cathay!

That's it!

Not so fast, boys.

Big Louis!

What are you doing here?

We just thought we'd drop by

to make sure you didn't
double cross us.

We got 'em.

Shredder!

I've come for my cufflinks.

You always were a
sl*ve to fashion, Shredhead.

The Turtles and the cufflinks,
both mine for the taking!

Yeah. This is one of those
extra-special red letter days.

Unless you happen
to be a turtle.

Give me the cufflinks now!

Nothing doing,
chrome for brains.

[c*ck g*ns]

On the other hand, what's
one little old pair of
cufflinks, more or less?

[door opening]

What in the world's
going on here?

[in unison]
They're trying to
steal the cufflinks!

Oh, yeah?

Ow!
Oh...

Anchovies?
Blech.

My best suit!
It's ruined.

Never mind that.
Get those turtles!

Hey, they're gone!

I've got a feeling
we shoulda used ropes.

Come on!

We've gotta get
those cufflinks
far away from here.

Come on!
Something's up!

[lasers firing]

The Turtles are getting away.

Perhaps, but
these two won't.

[Shredder laughs]

[April screams]

Only one of
the cufflinks is expl*sive.

The other one is just
a plain old ordinary ruby.

We're going to have to
figure out some way of
destroying it

without blowing up the city.

We need some place
where we can think.

I know just
the spot, dude.

After all we
just went through,

how can you even
look at a pizza?

I don't want to look at it;

I just want to eat it.

According to my analysis,

the compound in
this cufflink
is destabilizing.

It's not as expl*sive
as it once was.

But Shredder could still
analyze the formula
and duplicate it.

Right.

Turtles, we have got to
destroy the ruby cufflinks.

Wow!

It's April's minicam!

"We have the newsgirls.

"Come to the taffy factory
at midnight

and bring the bufflinks."

Uh-oh. We don't have
any bufflinks.

They must have run out of C's.

They mean the cufflinks.

And it's almost
midnight now.

That doesn't leave any time
to substitute fake cufflinks.

So, like, what'll we do?

We'll just have to improvise.

Improvise?
Against those g*ons?

Is there a script doctor
in the house?

Boy, for a taffy factory,
this place sure is dark.

Uh, dudes?
Check it out.

April and Irma, about
to be dunked in
a vat of taffy!

[Donatello]
Talk about coming to
a sticky end.

The Turtles!

Oh, thanks goodness.

Hang on!
We'll save you!

Not until you give me
those cufflinks.

Freeze, Shreadhead.

One of these
cufflinks is a dud,

but the other one can
blow us all to kingdom come,

so nobody make
any sudden moves,

or I might drop it.

I want that cufflink, turtle.

Then go get it!

Argh!

Lower them in!

[screams]

Let's take these turkeys.

Yi-ha!

Oh, what a way to go.

Yeah. My dentist warned me
to avoid between meal sweets.

Cowabunga!

[Irma screams]

Gee, that was a
soft landing.

Not for me, it wasn't.

[Shredder]
The cufflink, it must be
in one of those candies.

Bebop, Rocksteady,
go find it.

Boy, this is going
to be fun.

You Turtles is washed up,
you hear me?

You're going to need to wash up
when we get through with you.

[shouting]

This isn't as much fun
as I thought it would be.

All right, you dirty reptiles,

it's curtains for you, see?

Taste hot taffy,
Big Louis.

Oh!

I don't feel so good.

Yeah, my tummy's
starting to hurt.

Hey, I found it!

Then let's get out of here.

Krang, the portal!

They got away again.

So, what else is new?

So, which cufflink
did Shredder get?

The expl*sive one, or the dud?

Gee, you know?
In all the excitement,
I'm not sure.

The Turtles are far too clever
to give you the real cufflink.

That's obviously a fake.

What do you mean?

It's the one they hid
in the vat of taffy.

That doesn't
prove diddly.

They wanted you
to get that one.

They would never let
the real one out
of their possession.

They fooled you again.

Those repulsive reptiles!

You wretched turtles!

[Donatello]
Huh?
Shredder!

How dare you trick me
by giving me
the expl*sive cufflink!

Trick him by giving him
the expl*sive one?

You know, I think old Shredder
has finally flipped his
chrome plated lid.

At least we can return this
to Pietro Calzone,

even though it's just
a plain, old ordinary ruby.

Yeah, it's probably only worth


Gee, maybe I should
clean it up a little

before we return it.

Hey, I know!

I'll try out my new
automatic buffing machine.

Uh, Donatello, are you sure
that cufflink's not
expl*sive too?

Of course, I'm sure.

[expl*si*n]

Are you okay?

What happened, dude?

Don't tell me that cufflink
was expl*sive too?

Uh, no.

But I think my
automatic buffing machine

still has a few bugs in it.

[laughs]
