Television (T.V.) Magic, Part 1:

PLOT: A special episode of the action-adventure show 'The Adventures of Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack' in Royal Woods. But production is stalled when the shows' stars mysteriously disappeared. It's up to Lincoln, Leni, Luna, Lynn Jr., Jojo, and Ruby to bring the missing superheroes back to the set, but it won't be as easy as it sounds. Supervillains, ghosts, creatures, and other dangers await them. The fate of the show rests in their hands. The show must go on!

NOTE: Margot is from the animated movie 'Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken'.

On a sunny day in Royal Woods, four Loud siblings (Lincoln, Leni, Luna, and Lynn Jr...) are called to Tough 11, a TV studio. The show 'The Adventures of Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack' was going to shoot a special episode in town, and they were contacted to help with it. The siblings walked into Tough 11, and saw a familiar face...

Lincoln: Ruby Marshall?

Ruby: (sees the Louds) Lincoln, Leni, and Luna?

The three Louds ran over to Ruby, and hugged her together. Ruby hugged them back...

Ruby: It's so good to see you again!

Luna: Same here, little dudette.

Ruby sees a confused Lynn...

Ruby: Hello, there.

Leni: Ruby, this is our sister, Lynn.

Ruby: Nice to meet you, Lynn.

Lynn: (waves) Hi, Ruby.

Luna: (to Ruby) Anyway, what are you doing at Tough 11?

Ruby: Well, I wanted to come visit Royal Woods, so I asked Jojo, and she brought me here.

Jojo comes in...

Jojo: Plus, I informed Ruby of the special episode of 'Ace Savvy', and she couldn't help but bring her tablet.

Lincoln: Jojo, do you know who contacted us to come here?

Female Voice: I did.

A teenage girl came walking in. She had tan skin, pink and peach dyed hair, brown eyes, black eyelashes, and has a nose ring. She also is wearing white glasses, a red jacket with green and white gingham cuffs, a white t-shirt with a golden star pattern and a double rainbow pin, a dark blue skirt with green wavy lines, green socks and red combat boots, plus, a green scrunchie on her left wrist.

Girl: (waves to Lincoln and his sisters) I'm Margot Khatun, a theater actor and high school student from Oceanside, California.

Lincoln and his sisters introduced themselves to Margot, then Lincoln says, 'What do you need, Margot?'

Margot: I'm helping to direct the special episode of 'The Adventures of Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack' here in Royal Woods, and I'd like you to help us with it.

Leni: Why, of course we'll help you out on that episode.

Lynn: (to Margot) I have a friend with the same name as yours, so am I allowed to call you 'Mags' to avoid confusion?

Margot: Well, okay.

Lynn: Thanks, Mags.

Lincoln: Margot, what do you help with?

Margot: Well, our stars, Ace Savvy, (or Spade Nifty) and One-Eyed Jack are missing! Without them, there will be no show!

Ruby: I can help them too, Margot! We'll all bring them back safe and sound!

Margot: Wonderful! Last I heard, they were heading towards a dark cave in the forest. Be careful! I heard them discussing the bobby traps they've setup!

Everyone went to the dark cave in the forest...

Margot: Bring them back, and there may be roles for all of you in the show, too.

Luna: Sweet!

Lincoln, Leni, Luna, and L.J. put on protection gear, then went into the cave, searching for Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack, by going through, ghosts, monsters, other creatures, plus, having to work together to jump over spike pit, onto moving platforms, high ledges, plus they had to slide down into a hole, and bypassing different zapping areas. When they got midway through...

Lincoln: Whew, that was close.

Leni: (sighs) What have I gotten myself into?

They continued to go further into the cave, getting by more creatures, jumping over more spike pits, breaking through more secret passages, and getting by higher ledges. Finally, they were coming near the other side of the cave, and near the exit. They saw something where they got out. Lincoln, Leni, Luna, and Lynn reached the end of the cave to find Ace Savvy sleeping on the ground, and woke him up...

Leni: How did you fall asleep out there?

Ace Savvy: Oh, I'm not sure.

Luna: What's going on here? Where's One-Eyed Jack?

Ace Savvy: Last I heard he went to a field nearby fighting some crime.

The Louds, Jojo, Ruby, and Margot then got in a van, and Margot (who just got her driver's license) drove it through Royal Woods to where Lincoln's locator device revealed where One-Eyed Jack was: at an open field...

One-Eyed Jack: Hello, young fans.

Leni: Hi, there!

One-Eyed Jack: I thought some crime was going on here, but I don't see anything.

Margot: We better bring you back to the set.

Male Voice: Not so fast!

Lincoln: (shocked) Lord Tetherby!

Lord Tetherby: (laughs evilly) You're on my turf, I'll make sure you never leave!

Luna: One-Eyed Jack, you go back to the set. We'll take care of this guy.

Tetherby: Try to stop me!

Lincoln runs into the van, and soon comes back out in his 'Orange Spade' costume...

Lincoln: Okay, big man, let's dance!

A battle broke out between Lincoln and Tetherby. As Tetherby was running away, he fired ice blocks toward Lincoln, who successfully jumped and dodged each block that were coming towards him. However, Tetherby managed to get away before Lincoln could catch him...

Lincoln: (groans) I just missed getting him!

Margot: But Lincoln, you did great keeping up with him. So, with that, I have a role for you... you get to be the stand in for the episode!

Lincoln: (happily) Wow, thanks Margot.

Margot: Think nothing of it!

Lincoln was happy that he got the part as a stunt double.
