It's a MAD World

Inspector Gadget, Penny, and Brain are driving in the Gadgetmobile.

Penny: It's great that we're having a vacation at the Grand Canyon.

Inspector Gadget: It sure is, Penny. And nothing's going to interrupt our vacation this time.

When they reach their destination, the trio look at the scenery from a tourist point. While Penny and the inspector are viewing the scenery, Brain notices an object moving behind them.

Brain: Ruh? A walking ractus?

Brain investigates the walking cactus, but he get too close to the prickles.

Brain: Rouch!

Penny: Brain, are you all right?!

Brain: Ruh-huh.

Inspector Gadget: What's going on, you two? Hmm, that's strange. That cactus wasn't there a few minutes ago.

"Cactus": Ah, there you are, Gadget. I have a mission for you.

Inspector Gadget: Wowsers! Dr Claw must be using evil plants to take over the world. Which is kind of weird, because I'm pretty sure he already used that idea in the episode about the giant plants...

The "evil plant" is yet another disguise for-

Inspector Gadget: Chief Quimby?!

Chief Quimby: Don't blow my cover, Gadget. There are MAD agents everywhere.

Inspector Gadget: You're just being paranoid. We don't see MAD agents everywhere we go, right, Penny?

Penny: Actually, according to my Computer Book, approximately 90% of the people in each episode are MAD agents.

Chief Quimby: Which is why I need you to stop them.

Inspector Gadget: So much for our vacation. But I still think you're exaggerating.

Chief Quimby: You'll change your mind when you read this message.

Gadget reads the note from Quimby.

Inspector Gadget: "Dr. Claw's latest evil plan is to send hordes of MAD agents to different locations and famous landmarks. They will try to invade the different areas, and eventually Dr. Claw will be able to rule the world because of the the large numbers of henchmen at his disposal. Your job is to find and arrest the MAD agents in each location that is specified on a map."

He stops reading for a minute.

Inspector Gadget: This doesn't have anything to do with when I had to go on those field trips, right?

Chief Quimby: No.

Inspector Gadget: Okay, good.

He continues to read the note.

Inspector Gadget: "This message will self destruct."

Chief Quimby: *thinking* Please don't throw the message this time...

Inspector Gadget: Not to worry, chief. I'm always on duty!

While heading for the Gadgetmobile with Penny and Brain, and after receiving the map from his boss, he tosses the exploding letter in the chief's direction.

Chief Quimby: Oh, no-

*KABOOM*

The impact of the explosion causes the chief to-

*THUD*

-fall of the cliff, and land at the bottom of the canyon.

Chief Quimby: ...I should have seen that coming by now.

The inspector leans over the canyon.

Inspector Gadget: Sorry about that, chief!
