As you remember last time, our heroes Rocky, Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody, and Sherman had landed on the moon before Pottsylvania could claim ownership of the moon. They shared a happy reunion with their friends, Gidney and Cloyd, but the reunion was short lived as Boris and Natasha had started shooting lasers at our heroes and they ran for their lives. And run they did-with Boris Badenov's rocket close at their heels.
"Hey Rock!" Bullwinkle said to Rocky "How come there's no big kablooey sound?"
"Because you cant have sound without air!" Rocky said "And there's no air in space!"
"Then how are alive in space?" Sherman asked.
"Well, this is the wacky world of cartoons." Peabody explained "We can survive anything. Even space."
They took shelter admits some rocks and watched as their foes seemed to give up.
"We're safe...for now." Rocky looked at the Pottsylvanian rocket.
Just then, Bullwinkle noticed something.
"Where'd our friends go?" He asked.
"We're here Bullwinkle." Cloyd appeared out of nowhere.
"We turned invisible to avoid those laser beams." Sidney added.
BACK ON THE SHIP...
"Boris, you did not destroy moose, squirrel, dog, and boy." Natasha said.
"I do that later." Boris said "Right now, is more important that I claim ownership of the moon."
"Yes." Natasha said "You will claim the moon in great glory of Pottsylvania."
"Silly girl." Boris devilishly grinned.
Boris and Natasha landed on the best place they figured would be a great place to broadcast their announcement from.
"Ready to beam video of me planting the flag back to Earth?" Boris asked his sultry partner.
"Almost ready doling." Natasha said.
Meanwhile, behind a rock, Rocky, Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody, Sherman, and Gidney had saw the broadcast.
"Hokey smoke!" Rocky exclaimed "When he plants that flag, Pottsylvania will really own the moon! We've gotta stop him!"
"Where's Cloyd, Uncle Rocky?" Sherman asked.
"He went home to get his scrootch gun Sherman." Gidney answered.
Moments later, all television transmission on Earth was replaced with a sinister face.
"People of Earth!" Boris said "This is Boris Badenov, coming to you live from the moon!"
Most people were shocked, but in Pottsylvania...that's a whole different story.
"As many of you know, Pottsylvania claimed ownership of the moon..." Boris continued.
"Now he will tell them we will be renewing our ownership." Fearless Leader evilly grinned.
"But that was all just a hoax!" Boris openly admitted "Pottsylvania filmed it's moon landing on a soundstage!"
"WHAT IS THAT IDIOT DOING?" Fearless Leader yelled "HE IS RUINING EVERYTHING!"
"So the moon doesn't belong to anyone...yet!" Boris said "And I will now claim the moon in the name of someone greater and even grander Pottsylvania...ME!"
Meanwhile, our heroes witnessed him from the rock behind Boris and Natasha.
"Cloyd wont be back in time with his scrootch gun!" Gidney said.
"We have to stop him from planting that flag!" Sherman said.
"Hey Rock!" Bullwinkle said "Why don't I throw you over there and-"
"Rocky is too light to be thrown in the moons reduced gravity." Mr. Peabody clarified.
"But maybe Bullwinkle wouldn't be!" Rocky said.
They agreed it was worth a try. Because the gravity on the moon is only one sixth of what it is on Earth, Rocky had no trouble picking up his friend, and hurling him towards the dreaded flag ceremony.
Boris raised his flag "I hereby claim the moon in the name of-"
"No you don't!" Bullwinkle flew and snatched the flag in time.
The two spies ran after Bullwinkle, but just then, Cloyd the Moon-Man appeared with his scrootch gun and they were severely scrootched. In an instant, the two spies were frozen in place.
"We can put them back in their rocket and launch them back to Earth!" Gidney suggested "By the time they get home, they'll be unscrootched."
Meanwhile on Earth, Fearless Leader quickly called a press conference.
"I am shocked to find out our moon landing was a hoax." Fearless Leader said.
"Are you gonna throw those two under the bus?" Asked a reporter.
"Of course not!" Fearless Leader said "Here in Pottsylvania, we do not throw our employees under the bus as you say."
The reporters then left and Fearless Leader turned to one of his minions.
"Throw them all under a tank!" Fearless Leader whispered "And when Badenov returns, he gets two tanks and a steam roller."
BACK ON THE MOON...
"Say Rocky, before you go, wanna see something we found?" Cloyd asked.
"Sure Cloyd." Rocky said "We'd love to."
"I suppose we could see a little discovery." Peabody said.
Our heroes walked to where Gidney and Cloyd said their discovery was. It was on the dark side of the moon. It was none other than...a giant egg.
"Hokey smoke!" Rocky said "Look at that egg!"
"Shouldn't we stay away from the dark side of the moon?" Sherman asked the Moon Men.
"That's true Gidney and Cloyd, isn't it dangerous?" Mr. Peabody asked.
"Don't worry Mr. Peabody." Cloyd said "We have a flashlight that can see through any dark place."
Cloyd lit up his flashlight and our heroes saw something shocking! Moon monsters! They figured our heroes were foes, so they grabbed them and threw them far off the moon and they crash landed on another planet.
"Darn it!" Bullwinkle lifted himself up.
"I knew we shouldn't have gone to the dark side of the moon." Sherman said.
"To put it in Earthling terms, we goofed." Gidney said.
"Well, we have to figure out how to get home." Said Rocky. "We're miles away from the moon and our ship is completely destroyed."
"Indeed Rocky," Peabody said "Come come gang, we must huddle up and figure out how to get back to Earth."
The gang huddled up and decided to find a way to get home.
