When the penguins are interrupted mid-operation by a nosy scientist, they leave the zoo in danger. Unfortunately, the scientist has radio-tagged them, so they must rely on the lemurs to complete the mission and save the zoo.

At the zoo during night, King Julien's boom box gets stolen. Everyone gathers up and starts to complain about their apparently stolen items. Soon, Rico talks to Private and Private tells Skipper that their television has been stolen. Skipper and the penguins go off to confront the masked thief.
