History[]
Michelangelo, yearning for a pet, goes to Ralph's to rent a monkey named Clyde. Clyde proves to cause too much trouble, so Mike returns him in an effort to get his deposit back. However, Ralph says there are no cash refunds, but he can exchange for another pet. Boris, henchman of the criminal Mugsy McGuffin. had recently taken Mugsy's parrot Polly to get him cleaned, and Ralph sat Polly right next to another parrot of the same species. He offered a parrot to Mike, and he took Polly, just as Boris returned for Mugsy's parrot, which had already been taken, so he took back the other parrot.
Mugsy was not happy to find that his parrot, which had a key to the safe he had stashed a ruby he had stolen in around its neck, was swapped for another random parrot. Mugsy and Boris returned to Ralph's and threatened information on the identity of who took Polly out of him, but all he could give them was that he was a "weird guy with a green face".
Later, after the Turtles realized that Polly belonged to Mugsy and the key around his neck probably was connected to the ruby's whereabouts, Leonardo and Raphael raced to Ralph's in an effort to stop Mikey from returning Polly. Unfortunately for them, Mikey did not make it back to Ralph's, and they left in search of him. Polly Wanna Pizza.
