## Synopsis

Rod is on his Rooster Booster practicing for a race called the Big Swirl 500, but when he takes the last turn, he spins out. Shirley states that she would like to be in the race, and the cadets convince her to enter, but she doesn't have a vehicle. Rod returns to HQ to have Bea give the bike one last check-up while the other cadets help set up the race. When Brody tests the bridge, it breaks, and Penny repairs it. Just then, Baddy and Betty McBat arrive on Betty's bike, but Brody stops them while Penny's fixing the bridge. When Penny's done, he lets the bats pass. Later, the race is starting soon, but Shirley still doesn't have a vehicle. Earl shows up and offers to build one for her. They head for Earl's shack at the beach to build it. Later the race starts with the racers being Grady Treegoat in his goat-cart, Sandy Stork in her plane, Baddy McBat on Betty's bike, the Banana Bandits and Margo Monkey in the Monkeycart, Rod on the Rooster Booster, and Shirley in Earl's cart, the Coco-cruiser. The race starts, and Rod's in the lead, but Baddy's close behind. However, when Shirley passes Sandy, she makes her plane crash. She catches up to Rod and Baddy who are fighting for 1st. Baddy pushes her off the track and towards the river. Rod starts to help, but Brody helps instead by putting the Splash Diver in hover mode and pushing Shirley back on the track. Earl flies in and tries to fix the steering wheel. Margo and the Banana Bandits are catching up to Rod and Baddy, but the banana decoration snaps off the Monkeycart, and the Bandits try to catch it, much to Margo's annoyance. Earl loses his copter pack while trying to fix Shirley's steering wheel. It distracts Rod and allows Baddy to pass him. Swift uses the Zip Flash to catch it. Earl finally fixes up Shirley's steering wheel letting her back in the race. However, when she catches up, Baddy bumps her again making her wheel fall off. He even takes apart the bridge to keep anyone from winning. Shirley decides to give up on the race, but Rod attaches her cart to the Rooster Booster so they can finish together. Rod sees that the bridge is broken, and Penny holds it up so Rod and Shirley can cross. They catch up to Baddy who's still in the lead, but he takes the last turn too fast making the bike crash in the jungle. Rod and Shirley take the turn slower so they can pass Baddy. Betty's bike isn't working, so everyone passes him. The final standings are Rod and Shirley, Grady, Sandy, Margo, and Baddy. Betty takes back her bike and rides off without Baddy. Rod and Shirley are both considered the winners of the Big Swirl 500 and everyone cheers for them.
