Summary[]
Bebop has prepared dinner for the Foot Clan. Unfortunately, due to shortage of funds, it's literally just a single pea. Hoping to find a solution to their problem, Krang reads about The Golden Mask of Okabakakiki in the newspaper. He explains that Okabakakiki was a Hawai'ian king who was kind of stupid and ended up accidentally killing himself whilst attempting "Volcano Diving". However, before he had done so, he had commissioned a solid gold, jewel-encrusted mask - which as the paper notes, is on loan to yogurt millionaire Harry Hopscotch III.
Oroku Saki, Bebop, and Rocksteady head to the Hopscotch estate. Shredder takes out the guards with some gas bombs, but then runs afoul of Harry Hopscotch himself, who is wearing the mask and brandishing a spear. Shredder knocks him out with a single strike and the goons take off with the mask.
Just then, the Hero Turtles just happen to be passing by on their way home from the pizzeria (and having lost their abysmally small pizza in a storm drain). They notice the Foot Clan retreating from the Hopscotch estate, chasing them into an alley. The mask starts glowing, giving away the Foots' position.
The Turtles and the Foot fight, while Krang tracks them down with a gaggle of Footbots in tow. He sics the Footbots on the Turtles, and gets his hands on the mask, which begins to glow with a fiercer intensity and ends up blowing up all of the Footbots' heads. The Turtles proceed to defeat the rest of the Foot.
While Hopscotch is giving his statement to the police, the Turtles toss the mask over the wall and into their hands, slinking away into the sewer just before the police found them.
The next day, April has come over for a visit, and the Turtles tell her the story. Michaelangelo asks Master Splinter what the glowing was all about, and Splinter says that it's because the mask curses whoever steals it to a terrible fate.
