Synopsis:
Microwavabelle takes her children to work, causing her to be stuck on desk duty for the day. Diamondette leaves work early to appear on a television news show where she opens Pandora's Box. Voice-Over and Private Eyes discover the missing Mrs. Culligan in her own basement where two pranksters pretending to be martians have kept her. Once that case is solved, the two heroes head for Wall Street with Stretch, Mr. Muscles and Hotshot to deal with the villain Snafu. After Voice-Over defeats the villain, the heroes return to headquarters. Stretch receives one more assignment for the day. He rescues a child who is trapped in a well.
