Hiya folks! Well, we're back in Metro City and ready to see Gadget and his friends have another adventure. So without further ado, here comes the theme song!

Here is right now, here he is right now, here he comes to save the day.

Here he is right now, here he is right now, here he comes to save the day.

Who do we call when danger is afoot? Who do we call?

Inspector Gadget (that's right)

Inspector Gadget (oh yeah)

Here he is right now, here he is right now, here he comes to save the day.

Penny and Brain will join him to save the day.

Here he is right now, here he is right now, chances are he'll save the da-a-a-a-a-y!

Here he is right now, here he is right now, here he comes to save the day.

Now, time for the story!

Our story opens up not with our protagonists, but on an uncharted island, where we see some sort of old tribal man conversing with a strange woman.

"So you know the plan right?" asked the woman.

"Yes madame" the man nodded "I convince the tribe that their great prophecy will come true today and while they're all so blind, you will wipe out their entire civilization"

"Correct" the woman nodded.

"Scamming people is my job" the man nodded "But what's in it for me?"

The woman snapped her fingers and one of her henchmen carried a medium sized chest of riches. The man looked at the gold and chuckled maniacally.

"Now look at that" the woman said seductively "And it's all yours...IF you complete your mission"

"You got it Ms. DuBois" the man saluted.

We get to Metro City where we see Gadget, Ivan and Jorge in the coffee room enjoying donuts and coffee. Well, Jorge and Ivan at least.

"You know G, do you ever miss the days of being able to eat?" asked Jorge.

"Indeed" Ivan nodded "After all, nourishment is essential, especially cops"

"Yeah I do" Gadget nodded "After all, what I wouldn't give to have the ability to digest and enjoy food again"

"Well we'd better finish up" said Ivan "The chief wants us all for a meeting"

In a matter of minutes, the officers all gathered up in the meeting room to hear what the chief was going to tell them. They were all talking when the chief barged in.

"Everybody shut up!" he shouted and everybody stopped talking "Thank you. I've called this meeting here today to discuss some important matters"

"Wowsers" Gadget thought "I should've guessed. The chief's always serious when it comes to meetings"

"Now listen" said the chief "This is not an ordinary meeting! This is a code 3420"

"Wowsers!" Gadget exclaimed "A 3420! Not an 3420! Anything but a 3420! What's a 3420?"

"Allow me to explain, Gadget" said Ivan "A 3420 is an emergency meeting! Unlike other meetings, this is when a case concerns all of us"

"Why thank you Lee!" said the chief "See Gadget? That's what happens when you study! Anyways as I was saying, this is a serious case; crime has been happening a lot more lately in town ever since Dr. Claw mysteriously disappeared. We believe that somehow these crimes are connected. I'll give each group a case and you'd better solve it or it's 14 demerits"

"Yes Chief Quimby" the others groaned.

Gadget, Jorge and Ivan then went to get the case file and went to their table to read it. They opened up the file and saw the photo of a man.

Gadget read it "Dick Beaumont! Wanted for swindling the elderly out of their money, kidnapping children for ransom and double dipping bacon in ranch dressing"

"I can understand that kidnapping and swindling part, but that bacon thing is just plain dumb" Ivan remarked.

"I've heard of him" said Jorge "He used to own a casino in Charleston and he would often cheat paying customers by fixing races and slots"

"Wowsers! So what happened?" asked Gadget.

"He got exposed for his scams and his casino was shut down by the city" Jorge replied "Then, he just disappeared"

"But now he's back and he's surely up to something" said Gadget "But what?"

Ivan looked at the some papers in the file "It says here that he was seen heading towards the docks at Metro Bay"

"Then that's where we're headed gang" Gagdet proclaimed "To the Gadgetmobile!"

Gadget, Ivan and Jorge ran to the Gadgetmobile and drove off.

"Bout time ya'll got here" said the Gadgetmobile "I was thinking that ya'll had ditched me for one of them show-offy BMW's. So where to?"

"The docks, Gadgetmobile" said Gadget "And make it snappy"

"You got it" said the Gadgetmobile.

The Gadgetmobile drove right to the docks, where there was no one there. The trio got out and went to investigate.

"It's quiet...too quiet" Ivan remarked "Where is everybody?"

"I'd better check" said Gadget "Go go gadget sonic ear"

Some sort of listening radar, thing surrounded Gadget's ear and he started to scan the place for any signs for life and he heard something. The sonic ear started beeping.

"Do you hear something, Gadget?" asked Jorge.

"Yes, it's coming from over there" Gadget pointed to a small shack "Come on"

Gadget, Jorge and Ivan ran over to the place and saw some sailors tied up and gagged.

"Wowsers!" Gadget exclaimed "They're sure tied up! Go go gadget, scissors!"

Scissors came out of Gadget's hat and it cut the ropes on the people.

"Metro City PD!" Ivan showed his badge "What happened?"

"There were these men and they just came" said the captain "We were just sitting here playing a nice card game when next thing we knew, some thugs broke in, hog tied and gagged us"

"And I think they took our boat as well" a sailor added.

"Where do you think they were headed?" asked Jorge "Maybe we can catch them"

"They said something about an island somewhere in the Equator" said the captain "I don't know what they were talking about"

"Don't worry, captain" said Gadget "We'll find your ship and those slimeballs before you can say 'Maurice LaMarche'"

"Really slowly, that is" Ivan rolled his eyes.

"You'd better bring those boats back, officers" said the captain "Cause the mayor cut our budgets"

Gadget, Ivan and Jorge walked over to where the boats were.

"My Gadget-Noculars' highly sensitive heat detectors will tell us what has happened before we arrived here" Gadget told them.

Gadget's binoculars with special lenses came out of his hat and he saw the biomass's of the people and the trail that the boats had left.

"We've got a trail" said Gadget "And it seems that it's headed towards the ocean"

"Well, what're we gonna do Gadget?" asked Jorge.

"We are going to where they are headed and catch those crooks" Gadget proclaimed "To the Gadgetmobile"

The trio walked into the Gadgetmobile and Gadget stepped on the gas pedal and started speeding towards the end of the dock.

"Yo Gadget! What do you think you're doing?" asked the Gadgetmobile "You're going to damage my paint job, man!"

"Don't worry, Gadgetmobile" said Gadget "I have no intention of doing so! Go go gadget Boat Mode!"

Gadget pressed a button on the control pad and the Gadgetmobile converted into a raft.

"Now that's what I'm talking about, baby" said the Gagdetmobile "Where to rookie?"

"Follow the biomass trail in the air, Gadgetmobile" said Gadget "We've got some crooks to catch"

The Gadgetmobile then followed the biomass trail into the mysterious beyond.
