Plot

The episode begins as Flippy and his team of commandos prepare to infiltrate a jungle base of the Tiger Army. After overlooking the area with binoculars, Flippy gives the orders to move out. Both Sneaky and Mouse Ka-Boom take out patrols around the base, while Flippy infiltrates the base under the guise as a pizza boy. When Flippy opens the pizza box, it is shown that he has replaced a slice with a throwing knife. He appears to grab and throw his knife at the General. But however, he realizes that he has thrown a slice of pizza instead by mistake.

This blows his cover and he is chased by the General's minions. Flippy grabs and throw his knife at his pursuers, but instead hits a hidden Sneaky, managing to distract the soldiers chasing him. Mouse then throws a bomb into the base, scaring off the soldiers who were chasing Flippy. The bomb rebounds off the pizza the General is holding, covering it with melted cheese, and lands back in Mouse's hands. While Flippy tries desperately to remove his knife from Sneaky's torso, Mouse runs to Flippy for help, since the cheese from the pizza is causing the bomb to stick to his hands.

Mouse runs to Flippy for help again, while Flippy is attempting to remove his knife from Sneaky, who is pinned to the wall by the knife. As Flippy pulls the knife out of Sneaky, he accidentally swings his knife back, cutting the lit fuse and causing it to fly upwards, and, unfortunately, cutting Mouse in half as well. By cutting Mouse in half, he exposes an arsenal of explosives that explode when the fuse falls back down, and the three are blown away deeper into the jungle. Flippy survives the explosion, but Mouse is nothing more than a few body parts and Sneaky's corpse has been severely burnt. As the enemies close in, Flippy hides in Sneaky's burnt corpse.

While the soldiers survey the damage of the explosion, Flippy huddles in Sneaky's corpse, whimpering in fear. Overcome by the extreme stress of the situation, Flippy flips out for the first time. He emerges from Sneaky's body roaring in greif and rage, using Sneaky's ribcage and one of his femurs as weapons to disembowel a soldier and knock out his teeth. The loose teeth fall in the soldier's stomach and Flippy blows in the top of the stomach. The teeth fly out of the stomach like machine gun bullets, cutting down all the soldiers.

The only two left standing, Flippy and the General begin fighting. After a long and bloody battle, during which Flippy is stabbed in his stomach and has his hands cut off, Flippy manages to kill the General by ripping open his stomach with his hand stubs, and crushing the General under a falling log. He later visits another Tiger Army base in the middle of a lake carrying a pizza box. He opens the box to reveal the General's crushed face, now resembling a pizza, while laughing manically.
