Synopsis[]
After Little Joe and his brothers were past away, he is worried that the people of Dodgeball City would be overrun by Little Joe's descendants. Because of this, the Mayor's Taskmaster, Wyatt sent all of Little Joe's descendants to work to paint the Painted Desert, dig the Grand Canyon and build Monument Valley in order to keep them down, all while still singing about "The Lone Stranger."
While the peas are still working hard in building the Grand Canyon, the Mayor and Wyatt oversee everything, with Wyatt asking the Mayor if something is wrong. The Mayor tells Wyatt that there's too many workers, which Wyatt is confused about, telling the Mayor that a lot of workers is a good thing and that they can't dig the Grand Canyon, build Monument Valley and paint the Painted Desert with just a few guys. The Mayor then asks Wyatt, "And what happens if they decide all at once that they're no longer interested in working for free?" to which Wyatt then sees his point. When Wyatt asks the Mayor what he should do, the Mayor answers with, "Thin the herd," which confuses Wyatt, before the Mayor explains to him to make sure that there aren't so many workers, something which Wyatt is not so sure about, but the Mayor tells him to "gather up all the baby boys and send 'em up the river." This surprises Wyatt when he hears the Mayor tell him this, but he does as the Mayor asks. The lead carrot then narrates that the Mayor thought that his plan was awfully clever, at the same time that a bunch of baby baskets are floating down the river, before also saying that God kept His eye on one special boy He was going to use to turn the whole mess around.
The young woman then takes Moe home, at the same time that the Mayor is having his secretary write a message in Morse Code. When the Mayor's daughter enters the house, the Mayor asks her if she had any luck, before his daughter answers that she found a baby, which surprises the Mayor. After Moe is escaping from the Mayor and his flunkies, wanted posters of Moe have been posted up all over Dodgeball City, with the Mayor telling Wyatt, "If you find him, bring him to me! This time, I'll see to it myself he goes up the river!"
After approaching the Mayor's office, Moe then opens the door before noticing the Mayor and two of his flunkies, which immediately makes him nervous, before he imagines them in their underwear. Aaron then hops up next to Moe, before Moe whispers to Aaron what he needs to say. The Mayor then asks Aaron who this strange man with him is, before Aaron answers that he is 'The Lone Stranger', with the Mayor asking Moe if he knows how to talk, before Aaron tells him that he's a bit shy, preferring to have Aaron speak for him. The Mayor then asks Moe and Aaron what they want because he doesn't have all day, so Aaron tells him that the Lord told them to tell him to let the people go. This only angers the Mayor, before Charlie is then brought before the Mayor after that, with one of the Mayor's zucchini flunkies explaining to the Mayor that Charlie was only hauling 20 wheelbarrows an hour and that 30 is the minimum, even when Charlie tells him, "I can't do 30, I'm 80!" When Charlie tries talking back to the zucchini guard, the Mayor angrily tells him that the minimum is 30, threatening to have Charlie sent up the river, before Charlie is taken away. Seeing some dodgeballs, Moe throws Sliver aside before he gains possession of a dodgeball, even with Aaron telling him that God gave him directions. However, before Moe can throw the dodgeball, he is suddenly struck from behind by another dodgeball, before Wyatt approaches him, saying, "Nobody throws a dodgeball in the Mayor's office but me!" Because of this action, the Mayor decides to have the people haul double the amount of usual wheelbarrows (making it 60 wheelbarrows an hour instead of just 30) and making them dig without picks or other tools, so Moe and Aaron then leave the office sadly after that.
Back in the Mayor's office, the Mayor is admiring his great-grandson, when Moe and Aaron enter his office once again. The Mayor then asks Moe what he wants, before Aaron tells him that they've come back to assure him that God means business, explaining to the Mayor that if he does not set the workers free, "you will face dire consequences." When the Mayor is confused, Moe then places Sliver on the floor, causing Sliver to turn back into a rattlesnake again, which frightens the two zucchini flunkies. The Mayor then asks Moe if he'll turn all their sticks into snakes, before sarcastically saying that he's so scared, then has Wyatt do a snake trick of his own. The rattlesnake then turns back into Sliver when Moe picks it up again before the Mayor tells him, "Big deal! So you're better at snakes! I'm still not letting anyone go! Get back to your souvenir shack, and take what's-his-name with you, before I lose my patience!" Moe and Aaron are then pushed out the door by the zucchini flunkies, while Aaron asks Moe what's next, though Moe is still determined to stick to the plan.
The next morning, the Mayor has approached the riverside to take a little bath, when Moe and Aaron approach him. When the Mayor notices Moe and Aaron spying on him, he becomes surprised while hiding behind some brush, while Aaron bids him good morning. The Mayor is angry to see the duo again, before Aaron tells him, "God has sent me to tell you, let my people go!," but the Mayor still refuses to grant the request as he calls out for his guards. Moe then dips Sliver into the water, which causes the water in the river to slowly turn into a dark red liquid, much to the surprise of the Mayor and his guards. When one of the zucchini flunkies ask what it is, the other one tells him, "It's... tomato juice!," before a tomato cowboy faints, while the band sings about how the river turned red, but still the Mayor didn't listen. Later, the Mayor is now playing golf while Moe and Aaron approach him again with the same statement, but he still refuses. This time, Moe then has a bunch of prairie dogs surround the entire golf course (as a shout-out to Caddyshack), while the band sings about the prairie dogs coming up. The Mayor is at a restaurant, where he is served a sandwich with fries by Aaron, who once again tells him "Let my people go!" When the Mayor still refuses, Moe then has a bunch of grasshoppers appear as they devour the Mayor's sandwich before the grasshoppers then infest the entire city. Moe and Aaron then hop past the Mayor's office again, as this time, Moe then has a plague strike the cattle, which causes them to fall over dead. The next morning, the Mayor is in the bathroom looking at himself in the mirror, when Moe then has the Mayor break out in purple pimples. Moe and Aaron then approach the center of town before Moe has a huge windstorm blow up in town. The carrots and gourd then sing about all of the plagues that happened in Dodgeball City, but the Mayor still refused to listen to Moe.
The next morning, Moe and Aaron go to see the Mayor, who is mourning about his grandson being taken away by the flood the previous night. Because of this, the Mayor finally grants Moe's request to let his people leave Dodgeball City. Soon, Moe and Aaron then lead all of the people of Little Joe out of Dodgeball City, following God's mark in the form of a pillar of smoke and clouds. The Mayor and Wyatt watch as the people leave Dodgeball City, with the Mayor saying that they'll have to figure out who's going to do all the work now. The Mayor then asks, "Who was that masked man?," before Wyatt tells him that it's Moe because he just took off his mask. When the Mayor hears and realizes that the Lone Stranger was Moe in disguise the whole time, he tells Wyatt to round up the posse, as he's got a score to settle.
One of the pea cowboys then look to see that there's trouble following them, before trying to warn Aaron that danger is approaching, but Aaron keeps brushing him off before noticing the danger. It is revealed that the Mayor and Wyatt, accompanied by the zucchini flunkies and three carrot cowboys have been following after them. When Moe and Aaron realize that the Mayor and his posse are after them, the people are worried, fearing that they'll get caught by the Mayor again without a way to cross Death Valley. Fortunately, Moe has a plan to cross Death Valley safely, before calling out for a snowstorm that snows in only one area of the valley, creating a path of snow that allows Moe, Aaron, Zippy, and the people of Little Joe to cross the valley without any problems, much to the surprise of the Mayor and his posse. Soon, Moe and the others then cross into Death Valley on the snow path, though the Mayor and his posse are still chasing after them, as they too cross onto the snow path. Once all of the people have safely made it to the other side, Moe and Zippy then make it to the other side as well, which causes the snow cloud to disappear after that. The Mayor and his posse realize that they are now stuck in the middle of Death Valley as the hot sun causes the snow to melt, leaving the Mayor and his posse at the mercy of the hot desert sun.
