(Then, as the camera reaches the planet Earth, the title comes in: Buttons & Rusty Meet the Danger Rangers: The Landmark Thief.)

Buttons, Rusty and Danger Rangers: (VO) Safety rules!

(The camera then zooms into Earth and we begin the story in Chucklewood, where Ranger Jones walks in, noticing the audience and is happy to see them as he turns to face them.)

Ranger Jones: (Acknowledging the audience) Well hello there, my name's Chief Ranger Jones, Jonesy for short. And am i glad to see all of you today, because I want to tell you a little story, about the time when my good friends, Buttons and Rusty, and their friends met a fantastic team called the Danger Rangers, and how they helped them out in saving the world from a wicked landmark thief, so sit back and have a listen. It all started just like any other day in Chucklewood as Buttons and Rusty were having some quiet time in their room together.

(We then fade into the bedroom of Buttons & Rusty, where the two of them are playing with their AbaRed, Bouken Yellow, Ookami Blue, OhGreen and Ninja Black action figures and a plush monster.)

Buttons: (While holding the Abared action figure) Explosive Energy! AbaRed!

Rusty: (While holding the Bouken Yellow action figure) The Strong Adventurer! Bouken Yellow!

Buttons: (While holding the Ookami Blue action figure) Beast Star! Ookami Blue!

Rusty: (While holding the OhGreen action figure) OhGreen!

Buttons: (While holding the Ninja Black action figure) NinjaBlack! Jiraiya!

Rusty: (While controlling the Bouken Yellow) Alright, gentlemen, we must stop this evil monster from destroying all of the city!

(Buttons controls the plush monster makes him roar, Rusty controls the Bouken Yellow action figure to turn to the other action figures.)

Rusty: (While controlling the Bouken Yellow) So here is what we're gonna do, everyone follow in on my command!

Buttons: (While controlling the Abared action figure) You got it, Bouken Yellow, let's do it!

(Just as they are continuing playing, Buttons and Rusty's folks then enter the room and approach the boys. Buttons and Rusty notice them.)

Buttons: Oh, hi, mom. Hi, pop.

Bridgette: (Smiling sweetly) Hello, darling, still in here playing with your toys, i see?

Rusty: (Nods in agreement) Yes, Miss, we are just in the middle of the most biggest adventure we have ever created. We just need to prepare for the battle scene right now.

George: (Nods in agreement) Yes, that is good. But we think to you two should do something a bit different.

Abner: (Nods in agreement) Besides, the forecast is very warm today. You should go outside and do something more fun. You know, like going to the park or playing tag.

(...)

(Meanwhile, in China, a group of tourists, tour announcer included, are approaching the Great Wall of China.)

Tour Annoucer: (Presenting the Great Wall of China) And here is the Great Wall of China, the prized jewel of the whole country. It has protected the Chinese for thousands of years and counting.

Woman Of The Tour Group: (Amazed by the Great Wall) When do we get to go on it?

Tour Annoucer: (Shakes her head) Very sorry, Miss, but i'm afraid the Great Wall has been put as restricted as we have some new equipment for it coming in.

[Kitty (bikini) walks past the girl cubs' cave.]

Kitty: Excuse me, girls.

Girl Cubs: Yes?

Kitty: Have you by any chance seen a bear and fox cub? A brown bear cub and a orange fox cub with black feet?

Bearbette: Oh, you mean, Buttons?

Frisky: And Rusty?

Kitty: Yeah. Those are the ones.

Frisky: No, we haven't.

Bearbette: Me too.

...

Freddie: Ah, there's a good spot to relax

[Freddie sits on the edge of the lake with feet in the water. And caughts his eye when he sees Kitty on the dock of the lake.]

Freddie: Wow! Look at that kitty-cat in a bikini. [leers at Kitty's stomach] Cute belly.

[Kitty dives into the lake]

...

[Manhattan Mall]

Worley: Let's see if you, your fellow Bucklewood Critters and those Junior Danger Rangers can outrun us without wheels.

[A chase happens across the mall]

Worley: Hey, I didn't say no backup!

[Freddie lowers a mall banner in front of Worley and his gang causing them to run into it and send them flying into a fountain.]

...

[Lobster Theodore chews on Kitty's tail]

Kitty: [screeching] LET ME GO! LET ME GO!

[Theodore released Kitty's tail and this time pinches her ears]

Kitty: OUCH! HELP! HELP!

[Fallbot, Derek, Bradley, Beth, and Leroy using a shovel, knocks Theodore off of Kitty's head. She falls into Leroy's arms safely.]

Leroy: (Smirks) Good thing we were able to make it to save Kitty!

Derek: Seves you right, Lobstertail for injuring my boss!

...

[Rusty throws a lasso to Burble]

Burble: This ought to take up the slack!

[He throws the lasso at Ringtail and his gang. Ringtail’s shorts fall down.]

…

[Burble slaps the cuffs on the Ringtail gang.]

Burble: Rusty Ringtail, Chili Dog, Snarf you all are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be held in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If any of you can’t afford one, one will be provided to you.

Sully: It’s a good thing, you remembered the right to remain silent spiel.

Burble: I used to be a cop prior to being a Danger Ranger.

….

[Philadelphia]

[The gang walks to the location of the Liberty Bell, but instead of the bell itself. They see an elephant.]

Sully: Wait a minute! That's not the Liberty Bell.

Kitty: [to her SAVO watch] SAVO, what's this elephant?

SAVO: This is Lucy the Elephant. A six-story elephant-shaped example of novelty architecture, constructed of wood and tin sheeting in 1881 by James V. Lafferty in Margate City, New Jersey, Located six miles of Atlantic City. It's the oldest roadside attraction in the nation.

Burble: Who on earth put the elephant instead of the bell?

[Suddenly, he gets zapped removing only his shirt.]

Burble: HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON!?

[He gets captured in a sack]

Burble: HELP! HELP!

Quentien Manderbill: Well, hidey-ho! What do you know? I've collected the complete... Polar Bear set!

[He takes the captured bag and the rest of the gang follows him to the Ben Franklin Bridge.]

Manderbill: SO LONG, POLAR BEAR!

[He throws the bagged Burble into the river. Kitty notices it and becomes shocked.]

Kitty: Oh no! Hang on, big buddy, i'm comin'!

(She races to the end of the bridge, dives in, and sees the bag floating. She swims over to it and manages to get before it floats away. Quentien is shocked and angered by this.)

Manderbill: (Shocked and angered) Why you darn heroes!?! Always foiling my plans!

Kitty: (Smirks heroically) I guess it's just like what they say, "You can't beat good so don't be evil!"

…

[Sully, Kitty, Abner and Bridgette put Burble down and feel him.]

Kitty: Burble?

Sully: Blow his belly.

Bearbette: Blow on his belly?

Kitty: Yes.

Bridgette: (Shrugs with a sigh) Well, i guess i can try. Hopefully this will work.

[Bridgette blows on Burble’s stomach. Burble wakes up.]

Burble: [sighs] Thanks, guys.
