When KAOS heists CONTROL's payrolls, putting it into severe financial straits, The Chief sends Max, disguised as prospector Frogsie Debbs, to Mira Lodo, Mexico, to find Debbs' old partner C. Errol Madre, who posesses the second half of a map that leads to a gold mind that could restore CONTROL's operations.

Max and 99 follow the wrong map and end up at KAOS's new HQ instead of the maternity ward. 99 is incredibly close to giving birth, which is making Max nervous and unable to pay attention to his job. He spends all of his time trying to find the shortest way to get 99 to the hospital. At the same time, CONTROL is desperately trying to find the new location of KAOS HQ. It's made more urgent because Simon the Likable is coming to town to steal the Huffiker Plans from the Pentagon. Simon is unstoppable because everyone that sees him instantly likes him and will do anything for him. Max and Simon get their directions mixed up and Simon goes to the maternity hospital while Max takes 99 to KAOS HQ, Sunny Slope Sanitarium.
