At last, I, dr. Slug,

Shall crush darkwing Duck and rule the world.

What'll we do?

Only one thing to do...

Stop!

Whoa! Pretty handy trick.

Yeah, yeah.

I just thought this Might be a good time

To respond to some viewer mail.

Ahem.

Many of you have written In asking questions

Such as... "Dear darkwing,

"What makes you the World's greatest hero...

"Your jaunty good looks?

Your dashing deeds Of derring-do?"

Hey, that looks like Your handwriting.

I'm making a point here.

Ahem.

"What is it that makes a hero?"

I have a tale to Answer that question.

I call it the case of The housewife hero.

It started one typical day

Over at the muddlefoots.

Gee, binkie,

Ain't modern Technology wonderful?

Yeow!

Ooh! Help! Fire!

Call 911! 911!

Oh, herb.

You must be more careful...

Overloading a cord like that.

Remember... Safety first.

Ooh, thanks, binkster.

Woulda been a shame to Burn down the house again,

'specially since I Cleaned up the yard.

You did a fine job, too,

But where did you Put your stuff?

Binkie, don't open...

Stop!

Before this typical Muddlefoot day

Is marred by this typical Muddlefoot bowling ball,

Let's look inside binkie's brain

And see what makes your Standard non-hero type tick.

I expected a brain to be a more... Squishy.

Actually, the brain's a lot Different than people think.

Behind each door is a Different brain department.

Over here... The emotions.

This one's anger. Ooh.

Yep... I'm angry.

Now, over here are the senses,

Such as sight, smell, and...

What's behind that door, d.W.?

Ahh, this is the most Important door of all.

You see, launchpad, Trapped inside everybody

Is a little hero.

Lemme outta here! Lemme out!

Now you'll ask...

What happens here when That bowling ball hits?

I was gonna ask about lunch,

But that bowling ball thing

Sounds much more interesting.

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

[horse whinnies]

Yee-haw!

Run!

Binkie's little hero is loose!

Ahh, He doesn't look so dangerous.

En garde!

Yeeouch!

Hi-ho! Yippee-kiyo-kiay!

Aah!

Yeeow!

Yaah!

[fighting]

[bell rings]

Binkie! Oh, binkums!

You warned me

Not to stack so much Stuff in the shed.

From now on my motto is...

Safety first!

Whoa.

Safety... First.

[gasps]

Safety first!

That's it! Hmm.

I've got to Safety-proof the city.

Ooh.

Toodles.

Should I figure On a late dinner?

You might think Your average citizen

Would join a safety group

Or start a newsletter,

But that loose little hero

Knocked binkie a trifle... Askew.

So she started Filling potholes...

Ooh, much better.

inspecting traffic lights...

So much better.

and cleaning up the City's safety hazards,

be they big or small.

Oh, my. Someone could Trip over this garbage.

[barks]

Oh! Oh, my poochy! My poochy's gone!

He ran away? Well, you see,

That's why we have leash laws.

meanwhile, Elsewhere in the city,

things weren't so safe.

Don't hurt me. You can have the jewels.

I don't want jewels.

I want the display lights! Ha ha!

My mission's to Liberate the light bulbs

Enslaved by society.

There!

Run! Be free!

Frolic in the wilderness!

I said run away. Run away!

They can't move!

They're weakened by Their long servitude.

I'll have to nurse Them back to health.

I was there to foil This fiendish felon.

Trying to pull the Wool over my eyes?

Say, good idea!

Now, safety first.

Mustn't leave the door open.

Someone could run into it.

Excuse me, mrs. Muddlefoot.

Well, hello, mr. Darkwing.

Do you have any Idea what you did?

No need to thank me.

Thank you?

You're welcome.

You just enabled a Supervillain to escape!

Leave the crime fighting To us costumed heroes,

O.K.?

Ooh, what a lovely Idea, mr. Darkwing.

Now I can make the City safe in style.

All right, st. Canard.

Get ready for the Canardian guardian...

Champion of safety.

Toodles! Off to smash hazards.

This is horrible!

You're not kidding.

Red and white aren't her colors.

Ohh.

and so, the canardian guardian.

set out to save the city.

in her own inimitable fashion.

Safety first!

Safety hazard.

Much better.

Someone could fall and get hurt.

You should wear a helmet.

Remember... Safety first.

[gasps]

Safety hazard.

[crash]

Oh, dear. This little nail

Could have given some Poor dear a flat tire.

I'll free you, My light bulb brothers.

Your long years of Senseless toil are over.

I'm the terror that Flaps in the night.

I'm the burnt-out Bulb you cannot reach.

I am darkwing duck!

Get ready to be deadmeat duck.

Safety hazard.

Oh, much better.

Someone could've slipped And skinned their knees.

Ooh, I should've known...

Another costumed Goody two-shoes.

That lady in the cape Almost killed us.

You're supposed to protect Us from those people.

I'm sorry. I tried to stop her before...

You're the villain!

I'm not supposed to Apologize to you!

I'm supposed to smash you!

Don't forget to write!

I'll write something for that Other caped troublemaker...

An obituary!

Ha ha ha ha!

Goodness gracious. Look at this awful greasy mess.

Someone could slip And put an eye out.

Ooh, much better.

I knew you'd fall for the Trail-of-grease trick.

Hey, you can't do this to me.

I'm the canardian guardian...

Champion of safety.

Not for long.

You're about to be toast!

Before I run a few Zillion volts through you,

I have to rescue Another light bulb pal.

Poor little guy, Stuck up here alone.

Uh, mr. Volt,

You can't do that. It's unsafe.

Now planes can't See the building.

I won't have to zap you And run my battery down.

Here comes a plane now!

ciao, safety lady!

The only one getting hurt

Was someone important to me...

Me!

Aah! Aah!

Before things get too chaotic,

Let's see how a villain's brain

Differs from a hero's.

But, d.W., what happened?

Did we crash? Were we killed?

We're gonna be o.K., aren't we?

Kids, don't try this at home.

Even in a brain as Warped as megavolt's,

One can find a little hero.

[crickets chirp]

Just have to look A little harder.

Nope, not here.

How about tryin' in here, d.W.?

That figures, a cuckoo clock.

Help me. Help me.

We found the hero. Now what?

Now we get back to our story.

we were about to splatter Binkie all over the landscape.

when my brilliant Mind saved the day.

Aah! Whoa!

They should've put a Railing around this roof.

Whew! That was too close.

There's something you Don't see every day...

A lady tied to that tower.

Lady? Lady?

Binkie! Binkie!

Got her!

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Mrs. Muddlefoot, what are you...

Shh!

That's my secret identity.

I'm the canardian guardian now.

And I've got to catch megavolt.

To stop his crime wave?

No. To stop him from Using this rope.

Look how easily it pulls apart.

It's extremely unsafe.

You can't possibly catch a Master criminal by yourself.

Oh, all right.

You can be my sidekick.

I can be her sidekick?

C'mon! A sidekick's gotta be quick!

I'll play along to Keep binkie safe,

But I'm not her sidekick!

Launchpad, We're in the middle of the story.

I thought this Might be a good time

To look at a sidekick's brain

And say hello to my little hero.

Come on!

[darkwing] Boy, It sure is empty in here.

[launchpad] Hey, nice echo.

Yoo-hoo! Little hero!

While we begin our long Journey for launchpad's hero,

Maybe we should get On with the story.

Watch your step, d.W.

There's some screws Loose in here.

we caught up with megavolt in...

the bad part of town...

where the sun never shines,

where brutality Is a way of life,

and people are really Not very nice at all!

My light bulb buddies, At last you're free!

No more slaving in a hot socket.

Onward to the promised land!

Freeze, mr. Volt!

The canardian guardian says You're not going anywhere!

Oh, yeah? Why not?

Because you're not Wearing your seat belt.

Two choices...

Buckle up, Or I can do it for you.

I'll take number three.

Hey, everybody, look who's here!

It's the canardian guardian

And her sidekick darkwing duck!

I am not her sidekick!

[menacing chuckles]

This is why I hate coming To the bad part of town.

[menacing chuckles]

Stand back!

I'll rub out these Roughhousing reprobates!

Hyah!

[moaning]

O.K., you're the new hero. You try it.

O.K., if you insist.

Mr. Thug, you stop that!

Do you know how Hazardous this is?

Why, what if it hit somebody?

Careful, mr. Hoodlum, your...

[crash]

Shoe's untied.

It looks like binkie...

The canardian guardian...

Took care of our problems!

Except one.

I don't suppose

You know how to untie

A darkwing double half-hitch?

So binkie got lucky.

That doesn't make her a hero.

Let's take a look At a hero's brain!

Uh, that's a good idea.

I don't want you To feel inferior.

I'm used to it.

In that case, prepare to witness

The wonder and majesty of... Darkwing's brain!

Well... A cluttered Mind is a healthy mind.

Who says that?

Lots of people!

Let's have a look At my little hero.

Oops. Sorry.

Guess we don't have to Worry about your hero.

He looks harmless enough to me.

Meet my partner.

Rowr!

It's... It's my ego!

Gee, it... It sure is big!

Aah! Aah!

I think this might Be a good time

To get back to the case Of the housewife hero.

by now, Megavolt's maniacal master plan.

had taken him to the old Abandoned power plant.

Ha ha ha ha!

No longer will light Bulbs be enslaved!

I'm gonna charge you guys up,

Then you can go back To the wilderness

With all the Untamed light bulbs.

Binkie, you've gone too Far with this safety thing.

Now, now, mr. Sidekick.

An active lad like you Needs extra protection.

But I can hardly Move in all this!

Imagine how hurt he'd Get without that padding.

Ah, welcome, do-gooders.

You're just in time to Witness my good deed...

The liberation of The light bulbs.

Do you have a safety Permit for this?

Binkie, let's not get safe!

Let's get dangerous!

I'll handle him With a glue bomb.

Careful! You mustn't point guns!

Hey!

Uh-oh.

I think you used too Much glue in that one.

Smooth move, mrs. Muddlefoot.

Don't thank me...

Just taking care Of a safety hazard.

Just look at these wires.

Utterly unsafe.

Awuwuwuwuwuwuwoah.

Why, hello, mr. Darkwing.

What am I doing here?

We're not gonna get Much help from her.

No problemo.

I've already stopped Megavolt's lunacy.

You'll never take these Light bulbs alive!

In a few seconds, This plant's gonna blow like...

Like something really Big blowing up!

There won't be enough Left to spackle a crack!

[launchpad] This would be A good time to be heroic.

[binkie] You men. Always making A fuss over every little problem.

Ooh. Much better.

Ooh! That's the trouble With being a villain...

The heroes always have to win.

Hey, what do you know?

Binkie saved us!

She's a hero just like you, d.W.

"Just like you, d.W."

Ha! Let's not get carried away.

And so...

Megavolt's plan was Short-circuited.

And binkie was back to Her suburban paradise.

Ooh, herby-mcgerby!

Binkums!

Ooh!

Uh-oh.

Oh, dear.

Herb, You haven't danced in years.

It's like our first date...

Except you weren't Wearing a dress.

And thus began the case Of the dancing dimwit.

But that is another Story altogether...

What makes a hero isn't The costumes or gadgets.

It's purity of heart And strength of will!

But costumes and gadgets Make it more fun.
