As the Wacky Racers streak through the desert and head for the finish line, everyone in Albuquerque has turned out for the finish of the race.
Professor Pat Pending is leading with the Ant Hill Mob, Penelope Pitstop, the Red Max and Vanessa London in hot pursuit. But wait! Up ahead it's Dick Dastardly planning an ambush.
"Right, I'm going to cause a landslide and block the pass."
Muttley laughed. Dastardly sent the rocks down blocking the pass
"Uh-oh it's a landslide." the Convert-A-Car came to a stop "My instant tunnel maker will take care of this."
A well-made tunnel came into being and allowed the racers to continue.
Thanks to his first dastardly diversion, Dick Dastardly is now in the lead. The rest of the racers are coming up fast. Rufus Ruffcut chops the distance in half and goes into second place. Now we check up ahead with our scanner scope. It looks like an abandoned ghost town.
At the bar, two ghosts appeared.
"What a dull day eh Bob?"
"Yeah, pardon the expression Joe but this town's as dead as a doornail."
"You said it. I'm always bored out of my skull that is if I ever had one."
They laughed and disappeared. The Mean Machine was now approaching the ghost town
"Hey Muttley, that ghost town gives me a good bad idea."
Muttley laughed in reply. They parked the car and put a sign.
"'Free Sodas' they can't resist that kind of deal. Come on."
They went inside and put on ghost sheets
"Try these on for size Muttley. We'll spook them right out of the race."
The Buzzwagon was the first to reach the ghost town
"Hey look Sawtooth Free Sodas. Let's go get some."
"Hear come our first customers Muttley. Let's spook them."
They put on the sheets unaware that the ghosts Bob and Joe took off the sheets grinning. Dastardly and Muttley commenced the growls and spooky noises while Rufus and Sawtooth looked at them wondering what their problem was. Rufus conked Dastardly on the head while Sawtooth used his hammer and conked Muttley on the head
"What are you guys crazy?"
"Uh-oh, what happened to our sheets?"
The ghosts appeared from behind,
Rufus gulped nervously "I think the answer is right behind you."
"I'm not falling for that old trick."
"Actually he's right."
"Yeah, the answer is right behind you."
The ghosts bellowed loudly. Dastardly, Muttley, Rufus and Sawtooth ran for it. The ghosts laughed and laughed and soon disappeared.
Christopher was the next one to come up
"Oh boy, free sodas. I was getting thirsty." he went inside "No one's here. I'll just get some myself."
He checked the cupboards for anything but found nothing "Well wouldn't know it? There's nothing. Boy what a rip-off."
A pitcher of water came up "Would like some water?"
"Yes please." he was then surprised "What the? I must be imagining things."
The ghost appeared him "Would you like some ice with your water."
Christopher turned around "Yikes!" the second ghost appeared stilling hold the pitcher of water "Double yikes! Ghosts!" he ran off
The ghosts laughed
"This is so much fun."
"Yeah, haven't had this much fun since the Grand Boo's party in Transylvania. Oh here comes another. Quick let's hide."
Nurse Bridget and Arista came in. Bridget held a bottle of water in her hand. She poured the water into a bowl
"Here you are Arista. I'm going to go to the mirror and freshen up."
As Arista lapped up the water, the ghost pulled her tail. She sat instantly and looked around. Bridget was by the mirror powdering her nose when the second ghost came up behind. She gasped when seeing the reflection. When she turned around, the ghost was gone.
Seeing no one around, Arista turned back to her bowl of water when the ghost came out. She yelped and went to Bridget hugging her legs
"What's wrong Arista?" Bridget looked around "I don't see anything. Now don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of."
She turned to the mirror where the ghost came out puckering his lips for a kiss
"Then again there is something to be afraid of: ghosts!" They ran off and back into the Reliable Turbo and sped off
The rest of the racers are now approaching the ghost town. And it's Vanessa London out in front.
Vanessa stopped upon seeing the sign "I know this routine, go inside and get spooked by ghosts."
"You have a counterattack?"
"You bet I do."
"Oh boy Joe here comes another one."
"Let's give to them as they come in."
The minute Vanessa came in; the ghosts commenced their scaring routine
"All right ghosts I'm taking you both in." Vanessa pulled out a badge
"Yikes! She's from the Ghost Catchers Squad!"
"Let's get out of here!" They ran through the wall and out into the distance
"I may not be an actual member of the Ghost Catchers Squad but I am a member of their fan club." she giggled
And now the racers leave the ghost town and dash through the desert. The Slag Brothers are holding onto the lead but Red Max is coming up fast.
The club shred the propeller, the Slags escaped the Crimson Haybailer landed and crashed.
And now it's Penelope Pitstop out in front. Since she has a comfortable lead she relaxes under the hair dryer. Meanwhile the dreadful duo is putting up their next operation.
"All right Muttley, hurry up."
A setting was put up then train tracks and the signal
"Perfect those clowns will probably wait all day for a train to pass."
An actual train passed by and ran over Dick Dastardly "Where did that train come from?" he was then run over by the racers
Muttley laughed
Now every driver is jogging in for position, Number 5 in first, Number 11 second and Number 6 third. It looks like Pat Pending is getting to convert. He's changed into a giant drill. He passes Number 8, 10, 7, 2, 13, 9 and 12 leaving them behind. It looks like nothing can stop him.
The drill hit a rock in the road
Well almost nothing.
Meanwhile the Double Zero dashed across the desert.
"Drat! I meant to stall them but now I'm behind. I'll just have to be more dastardly." then he stopped "Muttley we're in villainous luck. Look at that pipeline. It's so huge it will trap all the drivers plus their cars." he laughed "Right Muttley?"
Muttley laughed in reply
Penelope Pitstop is still purring along in front followed by Peter Perfect in the Turbo Terrific.
Penelope stopped upon seeing a sign "The sign says 'this way'. It must be a detour. I'd better turn."
"It seems Pretty Penny took a turn. I might as well turn too."
"On with Peter Perfect Meekly!"
"Right Serge!"
Everyone was on the trail approaching the tunnel AKA the pipeline. Once everyone went inside, it was sealed up by Dick Dastardly.
Dastardly laughed "They fell for it. And what's better that if they keep going they'll hit the wall." he laughed
Muttley laughed as well
The racers traveled through the pipeline
"Goodness I can't tell where I'm going." Penelope came to a stop and looked "I'll just take a quick look around."
She turned the wheel on the pipeline and scanned the area. That's when she discovered the wall.
"Oh my!"
"Is something wrong Penelope?" asked Peter
"Yes, if we kept going through this little ol' tunnel we'll hit the wall. And I really mean hit the wall."
"Well that's a problem."
"Don't worry guys." said Rufus "I'll make an extra tunnel."
The racers continued through the pipeline with Rufus Ruffcut in front. He then brought his extra-large buzz saw and made an opening. Soon they were out and back onto the track.
Dick Dastardly has a commanding lead with 3 miles left to the finish line and it looks like he'll win.
"Winning this Wacky Race will be a piece of cake. Who says bad guys don't win?"
Now the rest of the Wacky Racers are coming up fast. It's the Army Surplus Special sizzling along in second followed by the Arkansas Chuggabug.
"Drat! How did they escape from that tunnel unscathed? Well no one's winning this Wacky Race but me!"
The Double Zero drove up and came to a stop. Dastardly tied two long wires onto a nearby cactus.
"Ready Muttley?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
"Brace yourself here they come."
The Wacky Racers however crossed through leaving Dastardly wound up on the cactus
"Ouch! Ow! Muttley!"
And here they come to the finish line in Albuquerque. The Army Surplus Special crosses the finish line first, the Arkansas Chuggabug second and the Creep Coupe third.
"I should have won this race Muttley. Instead all I got are the prickles."
Muttley readied the tweezers to pull the prickles
"Ouch! Yeowch! Ow! Ooh! Ouch!"
Muttley laughed
