The trio is in Tijuana, Mexico, where Daniel runs into his Uncle Jack, an FBI employee. Daniel is enthralled with his uncle's FBI work until he admits his job was to file reports, and that he is investigating a case of small-time banditos threatening villages along the Mexico-US border, and are now abusing the shrine to go from minor offenses to commit major crimes as supervillains. Daniel has a problem with the sandstorms blinding him, and Miyagi teaches him to use his other four senses to fight. Daniel's uncle Jack learns there is no shame in having his current FBI job. Uncle Jack only appeared in this cartoon episode.

In the Himalayas, the shrine is in a mountain spring, which has caused the waters to reverse the aging process. In the nearby village, the council of elders used the waters to become young again in order to fill a generation gap and convince their teenagers not to leave. However, the village council enjoyed being young and forgot their responsibilities, and now the village has become focused on partying instead of working hard. When a snowstorm threatens the village, the unrenovated houses and lack of proper civil defense could doom them.
