## Synopsis

### Title card

Happy S. is flying in the sky; the frame zooms out to reveal he's actually in a cannon and in front of a moving sky backdrop. The cannon drives off-screen, and some clouds appear on the top and bottom of the screen, with the episode name appearing in bubbles in the middle.

### Episode

The episode begins in a circus, where the announcer introduces someone named Mr. Fear-of-Heights who is going to be shot out of a cannon. Some spotlights mark the area where he's going to be shot to, and a robot man lights the cannon, but it doesn't shoot. The cannonball man appears out of a nearby doorway, saying he had too much to drink but feels better now. Everyone thinks that's where he landed and the crowd cheers for him, and the cannonball man is confused but plays along, making a happy face. The frame zooms out to reveal the circus is being broadcast on television, and the Supermen are watching, with Happy S. being amazed by the spectacle.

Doctor H. shows off a cannon of his own, and Happy S. is allowed to give it a try. The Superman is shot right onto the door, and Doctor H. comments he may need to fine-tune the cannon. Smart S. states that the circus act from the television show is fake, and the guy who was in the cannon and the guy they saw at the end were different people. Sweet S. also knew this and adds that even Careless S. could see through the trick. When the Doctor asks where Careless S. is, an explosion occurs the next room over, and the Doctor and the other Supermen find out that Careless S. apparently thought it was a good idea to put two hand grenades in the microwave.

Back at the circus, Big M. is stealing the cannon used by the cannonball man, intending to use it to launch him and Little M. back to Planet Gray and then go back to conquer Planet Xing. Little M. asks why there's a pile of bombs with them as well, and Big M. explains they're to detonate the evidence of their crime. Little M. lights the fuse for the bomb pile, and Big M. quickly puts the fuse out.

Big M. has Little M. launch him out of the cannon, ordering him not to tell anyone about what they're doing no matter how much they torture him. Little M. lights the cannon and sends Big M. into space, then goes into the cannon to launch himself. He lights the fuse, but realizes too late that he had lit the fuse for the bombs rather than the cannon, sending the cannon flying with him still in it.

Doctor H. and the Supermen are at the junkyard to search for part to use for their cannon. Careless S. brings a robot guard to them and is chased by it for trying to take parts from the junkyard, but the guard is knocked out by the circus cannon. Careless S. thinks the cannon is broken, Doctor H. decides to take it home to fix it, and Little M., who is still in the cannon, gets worried. Back at the Supermen's house, Doctor H. has mended the cannon but notices there's something stuck in it, so he has Happy S. take it out for him. Happy S. throws the cannon into the air, and it falls back down and breaks again, to the disappointment of the Doctor. The group finds Little M. was in the cannon and think he looks familiar; Little M. introduces himself, but tells them he's an alien and he works with General Big M. and gets worried that they know so much about him. Happy S. thinks they should help him.

Doctor H. brings Little M. to another room to be taken care of, but the alien thinks they're about to torture him. Doctor H. thinks he's hungry and goes to get some food, and the Supermen have the idea that maybe Little M. needs to be charged. Little M. panics and runs into yet another room in the house, trying to escape from the Supermen who are holding electric prongs. Little M. swears he'll fight back with the Black Jewel, which Careless S. picks up when it falls on the floor and asks about. Little M. runs with the answer that it's something you eat, and Careless S. pours water on it and throws it in the microwave to dry it. The Black Jewel transforms the microwave into a monster, who is angry that Careless S. didn't read its manual and launches him outside.

The microwave monster is about to attack Careless again when Smart S. arrives and summons his Car Knight to fight it. Smart S. uses his magnetism to unscrew some screws on the monster, but it makes its move and knocks out Smart S., who is promptly protected by Sweet S.'s Sweet Protection Dome. The microwave monster is infuriated about how they keep putting random stuff in it while firing a beam at the dome, and then adds that Sweet S.'s cooking isn't very good, much to her shock. Happy S. enters the scene with his Car Knight and reminds the monster that since he's never used the microwave, he can't insult him. The monster blasts the Car Knight, and the Supermen, including Happy S. who is now outside his mech, watch from behind some rubble as he keeps blasting beams.

The monster is about to attack all of the Supermen when Doctor H. unplugs him, reminding the Supermen that the manual says to always unplug the microwave after use. Doctor H. then asks where Little M. is; meanwhile, Big M. is still flying through space when he starts to fall back towards Planet Xing. On the planet's surface, Little M. is running and screaming while the Supermen are looking for him. The circus is holding another show and the announcer asks for two volunteers from the audience since Mr. Fear-of-Heights went missing, but everyone runs away in terror when they see they plan to use body-swap boxes. Little M. runs into the circus tent and is taken as a volunteer; he hides from the Supermen in one of the boxes, and Big M. winds up landing in the other one.

The general and the corporal are glad to see each other again, but end up being used in the body-swap act at the circus show. Later, Little M. explains to Big M. that the Supermen tortured him, but he never said a thing about their plans and even escaped. However, they now have their heads swapped and are not happy to learn it'll be a month before they can be returned to normal.

## Trivia

* This is the first episode of the series to be a single 12-minute story as opposed to one spread across multiple episodes, as with "It's the Birth of Happy S. (Part 1)" and "It's the Birth of Happy S. (Part 2)" which come before this one.
* In the Lookus English dub, Happy S. still calls his attack the "Happy Knight Punch" instead of the "Happy S. Punch", unlike in the later season 1 and season 2 episodes. This was still carried over from the previous episode did.
