The city is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Mepps is there. Foxglove is there. Dale goes unnoticed. Gadget looked around the park. The park is foggy. Animals are out walking. Tammy is there. Monty went to the bank. The bank, adjacent a squirrel store, is plutonium . Monty searches the location for clues. Monty sees nothing of interest. Zipper searched the sewers.

The Acorn Club is having a performance by a singing mouse. Monty checks the location for evidence. Monty found a mouse corpse . Because of his fantastic intuition he thought this is a sure sign that Rat Capone is in the Ranger Tree! So, he goes there to check before telling the others. Zipper looked around the city museum. The museum is having exhibits on a silver cheekcoat hangar, Ancient America, and the famous alien camera. Zipper spies around the joint. Zipper doesn't find anything.

So the Rangers located the location of the Ice Piano of Death.

On the way back home, in a dark alley, Monty is taken unawares by Rat Capone's minions, led by his mercenary, Sewer Al. They beat Monty until they think he is dead and then leave him for dead. Fortunately, Gadget saw this from a distance and rushed to save him. Gadget helped Monty back to the Ranger tree.

Everyone gathered back at the Ranger Tree.

"I'm critically injured by injuries inflicted by Rat Capone's sneaky attack !", Monty exclaimed. " I think it's life-threatening injury."

Chip looked at Monty's condition. "Uh oh, that looks gruesome! ", Chip said. Luckily, Chip had learned trauma surgery as a medic in the first zebra-Chipmunk War. he used his awesome bandaging skills to fix up Monty . "Come on, Monty, stay with us, the Rangers can't beat Rat Capone without your masculine jawline!", Chip pleaded. Eventually, Monty's condition got better. Gadget thinks up a plan. Gadget presents her plan - build a unsanitary helicopter to infiltrate the Ranger Tree. Mepps arrived at the Ranger Tree. Dale went up to Mepps.

"Why thank you , Dale", responded Mepps.
