At the end of the previous episode, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) sent the Technodrome back to Dimension X with Krang, The Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady in it. The Technodrome now stands on an asteroid. Krang and Shredder want revenge and send Bebop and Rocksteady to Earth to bring the entire Channel 6 building to Dimension X via trans-dimensional thrusters. Krang disguises them as humans, so they can go unnoticed. But the disguise only lasts for a few hours, so they must hurry. Bebop and Rocksteady also have a Pretendicon, a robot disguised as Splinter, to lure the TMNT into the building and send them to Dimension X.
 * Plot synopsis =

The TMNT believe that the Shredder and his gang are gone, and they plan for a vacation.

Meanwhile, Bebop and Rocksteady get hired as Channel 6 janitors and begin to control the programs. Shredder calls them and reminds them why they are there. Bebop and Rocksteady resume their search for the basement, but instead find where they are taping an episode of "The Idaho Potatoes", a parody of the California Raisins (with lyrics like "I heard it through the potato vine"). Bebop and Rocksteady then fire the actors playing the potatoes, thinking they could "play potatoes" better. April O'Neil stumbles into the studio and wonders why the two executives are dancing in potato costumes. She then looks into a camera filming the show... revealing the two executives are really Bebop and Rocksteady! Before she can escape, the two mutants capture her.

The TMNT encounter the Pretendicon/Splinter and think Splinter has lost his memory after being knocked on the head by a sign. They discover that he is not Splinter when the real Splinter radios them to tell them that April O'Neil has been captured by Bebop and Rocksteady. They go to the Channel 6 building and discover Bebop and Rocksteady have bound and gagged April and locked her in a locker in the basement and started setting up the thrusters. When the Channel 6 building is launched, the TMNT disconnect the thrusters and stop the building from taking off, save April and send Bebop and Rocksteady back to Dimension X.
