Plot
Scratch and Grounder are conducting the Robotnik Express, a train filled with explosives that they must deliver to Dr. Robotnik. Upon trying to stop them, Sonic and Tails get captured, allowing Scratch and Grounder to celebrate out loud. Da Bearz hear Scratch and Grounder announcing that they caught Sonic, and so they come to help. Before da Bearz arrive, Sonic and Tails escape and wrap up Scratch and Grounder like mummies. Da Bearz show up and free Scratch and Grounder thinking they are Sonic and Tails. Scratch and Grounder play along saying that they are Sonic and Tails and they need the Bears help in capturing Grounder and Scratch. They describe Scratch as being Spiny and Blue and Grounder having two tails.

The brakes on the train get broken at some point and Sonic realized that there is a bridge above the buffalo village that is out. in order to save the village, Sonic places a tree at a very stiff switch, so when the train hits the tree, the tree will pull the switch and the train will switch tracks.

Sonic continually uses his silly costumes and manipulating tactics to humiliate and hurt Scratch, Grounder and da Bearz. Sonic realizes he has gone too far when da Bearz are stuck on the front of the train while it is headed for a cactus patch. Sonic uses the tree he left at the switch to bump da Bearz onto the top of the train and safe from the cacti. Sonic and Tails then convince da Bearz that they had been tricked by Scratch and Grounder. Da Bearz ask how they can redeem themselves and Sonic asks them to help save the buffalo village.

Using their cars, da Bearz and Sonic make haste in fixing the bridge above the buffalo village. Realizing they won't get it done on time, they tilt a piece of the bridge upward making a ramp, allowing the train to jump the gap over the village. The Buffaloes all cheer and rejoice that their village is saved.

The Robotnik Express arrives at the bomb factory on time, but since the breaks do not work, they crash into the factory making the whole thing explode. Dr. Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder all fly off holding onto a giant rocket, with Robotnik screaming "I hate that Hedgehog!"

Sonic Sez
Scratch and Grounder drive up to Tails wearing Groucho masks. They claim to be friends of Sonic's and that Sonic has been hurt and needs Tails' help. Worried about Sonic, Tails goes to get in the car with them. Sonic arrives and stops Tails, telling him not to go anywhere with strangers. He reveals the drivers to really be Scratch and Grounder and Tails says he'll never go anywhere with strangers.

Grounder: "Hey kid! We're friends of Sonic. He's been hurt and needs your help!"

'' Tails: "Sonic's been hurt!?" (Tails starts to walk towards the car)''

 Sonic: ''"Hold it! You don't even know these guys! It's not safe to get into a car with strangers." (speeds off and removes the glasses off of Scratch and Grounder)''

 Grounder:     "Uh-oh!"  

 Tails: ''"Scratch and Grounder?" (they drive away) "I'm never getting into a car with strangers!"''

Sonic: "You bet your life, little buddy!"
