Angel Grove is hosting the Oddball Games at the park. There are two teams, the blue team and the red team. Bulk, Skull, and Angela are on the blue team. Kimberly, Trini, Billy, Jason, and Zack are on the red team. Bulk and Jason compete against each other as they run through a path of tires, having to make sure they place their foot in each one as they race along. They both do well, but at the very last tire, Bulk trips and falls onto the grass. With a mouthful of grass, Bulk glares at Jason's back. There is also sack race. Zack and Angela are both in this portion of the games. Zack gives Angela a hard time as they hop along. Skull and Trini are waiting at their portion of the race - which is the wheel barrel race. Trini shouts encouragement to Jason. Jason reaches Trini and they take off. A few moments later, Bulk reaches Skull and they try to overtake Jason and Trini. Skull ends up getting his face shoved into the grass. From the sidelines, Billy, Kimberly, Zack and the rest of the crowd cheer the competitors on. Trini and Jason cross the finish line first. Everyone cheers, except Bulk and Skull. Jason helps Trini to her feet and they join their friends. Mr. Caplan announces the red team wins. But there is tie between the red team and the blue team in terms of points. Now the final event - tug of war. The winning team will receive the coveted Noble Lion Trophy. Everyone gets very excited. The two teams face each over as they brace for tug of war. Bulk shouts, we're going to whip you good Jason! Jason replies, give it your best shot Bulk! Zack shouts out to Angela, asking if she wants to defect over to the winning side? Zack man saved a special place just for you. Angela tells him to dream on! Bulk adds that Angela knows what side the real men are on. Mr. Caplan tells the teams, on the count of three, I will blow the whistle. Zack is confident they can do it. Mr. Caplan counts to three, blows the whistle, and the tug of war begins. Both teams are giving it their all as they try to pull the other team over. Bulk yells, that trophy is mine buzzard breath! Be prepared to eat mud. Mr. Caplan walks over to the blue team, to keep an closer eye on Bulk. Kimberly shouts, prepare to eat your words Bulk! Both teams continue to struggle to pull the other team over. Billy suggests they apply the law of physics. Trini shouts out, teamwork everyone! The red teams pulls the blue team over. Bulk, Skull, Mr. Caplan, and Angela fall face first into the mud. Bulk picks up his face, spits mud out, and glares at the red team. Kimberly, Zack, Trini, Jason, and Billy cheer, along with the rest of the red team. Billy thinks it's great they won the Noble Lion trophy. Skull and Mr. Caplan struggle to get out of the mud, along with Angela. Zack notices Angela's dilemma and walks over to her. He removes his red tank and offers some assistance as he lays the red tank onto the mud. Angela tells him, you're just loving this, aren't you? Zack doesn't answer, but the grin on his face is enough of an answer. Zack helps Angela up. Jason helps Mr. Caplan up. With an unhappy look on his face, Mr. Caplan tries to wipe the mud off his sweat suit. While everyone was occupied, Bulk and Skull stole the Noble Lion trophy. Bulk and Skull are still covered in mud. They walk over to the pond in the park. Skull declares those goody-goods think they are so smart. Bulk states, but not smart enough to keep the prize. Bulk pulls the trophy from his jacket. They fist pound and laugh. They place the trophy a short distance away from them. Bulk and Skull are trying to wash some of the mud off their faces. Bulk gets annoyed with Skull's splashing and refers to him as dog boy. In good humor, Skull just laughs it off and splashes Bulk some more. Bulk is getting more and more agitated, which doesn't faze Skull in the least. Suddenly the ground starts to shake. The Noble Lion trophy is engulf with a golden light. When the light vanishes, Goatan is standing there. Bulk and Skull are terrified. They glance at each other and then decide to make nice. Skull tries to treat Goatan as if it was a cat, and tells it, here kitty, kitty. Goatan calls them insolent fools! Goatan shoots gold lines that encase Skull and Bulk. Skull and Bulk make a break for it and jump into the pond. Skull grabs a hold of Bulk's jacket and drags him through the water and away from Goatan. Goatan laughs at them. A police officer finds them and takes them to the Youth Center. The policeman wants to know if anybody can positively identified these two gentlemen. Jason suggests that they are the swamp creatures from the black lagoon. Kimberly and Trini giggle. Bulk pleads with them. Come on guys! It's us, your friends, Bulk and Skull. Billy admits that unfortunately they do know them. Skull remarks, that's more like it. The policemen releases Bulk and Skull. Bulk starts to squirm and squiggle around. Bulk bumps into the ladder, which causes Ernie to dump water from the watering can on him. Bulk reaches into his shirt and removes a small frog. Everyone laughs.
