Synopsis
The episodes starts off as the pups are cleaning their pup houses. Then, much like the previous episode, another old friend comes around: Wild Cat (who now has the shortened name of Wild, leaving the Cat part out of his name). The pups all greet Wild, but his engine breaks. Ryder tells Wild he is going to fix it for him.
In Foggy Bottom, Mayor Humdinger is busy reading a comic book featuring his favorite villain, Super Mayor Minimister. Humdinger says he wants to make his own Hench Cat as the kitties play around. Humdinger then realizes he has Meow-Meow, who can follow his orders. Using a new zapper he built, Humdinger (accidentally) turns Meow-Meow into a Tiger-themed Hench Cat. Hench Cat starts eating metal and runs out of Humdinger's lair with Humdinger on him.
In town, Danny is about to perform one of his latest stunts when Humdinger and Hench Cat comes into town. Quickly, Hench Cat starts eating Mayor Goodway's car door as she calls Ryder. As he is done fixing Wild's engines, Ryder gets the call and summons the pups and Wild to the Lookout. After another one of Marshall's mishaps, Ryder tells the pups about the situation and calls on Chase to use his net to catch Hench Cat, Wild to use his motorcycle to lure him into position for Chase's net, and the others to provide backup. The pups and Wild then drive off.
Before Danny can start his stunt, Hench Cat starts playing with the globe he was gonna use, and then tries to drive away from it as fast as he can. Ryder then advises Danny to backflip, which he does. Ryder then assigns everyone what to do. Skye tries to get Hench Cat to follow her, which does work. Meanwhile, Rocky and Marshall play catch with the globe. On the beach, Zuma tosses it over to Rubble, who catches it.
In the forest, Hench Cat continues to eat stuff as Wild tries to lure Hench Cat. Chase fires his net, but it misses as Wild's motorcycle ends up getting eaten. The pups decide to continue the search, with Ryder wondering how they are gonna stop him and Wild saying he has an idea. Back in town, Wild reveals his idea as he introduces Ryder and the pups to the Cat Pack, a team of cats he created after all of his Moto Pups missions. He introduces the team to Leo, a tabby cat who has the strength of a lion, Rory, a British Shorthair cat who has the agility of a white tiger, and Shade, a tuxedo cat who has the sneakiness of a jaguar. That is true, as she sneaks up behind Chase, causing him to sneeze. Wild is then handed over his new pup-pack by Rory, and, as he is finished transforming he says that "When we wear these suits, we have Cat Pack Power!". The pups are amazed by what they just saw. Leo then also gives Wild a new cheetah motorcycle.
Rory then climbs up to City Hall with her tiger pounce powers, and when she does, she rings the bell to get Hench Cat's attention. Let's just say it got his attention too much, as Mayor Goodway is about to be hit by the bell, but Wild uses his new cheetah speed powers to save her. As the team figures out what to do, Wild then tells Ryder maybe they should know how Meow-Meow got so big in the first place. Ryder then summons Rocky and Shade over to Foggy Bottom to find out how Humdinger got Meow-Meow so big. Leo then tries to scare off Hench Cat with his roar, but Hench Cat then copies Leo and chases after him, only for Wild to have Hench Cat chase him.
In the desert, Wild tells everybody he will lure Hench Cat to the desert flats. As Hench Cat is on the end of his tail, Wild uses his cheetah speed to speed up out of there. The others then try to lure Hench Cat themselves, as Rory finds a nice cozy place for Hench Cat to rest. She then is able to get Hench Cat in there for a rest, but it wasn’t for long…
At Humdinger's lair, Shade uses her jaguar claws to sneak into the lair to get the then discovered zapper, which was already used by the kitties to make a piece of hay big. Humdinger then goes back to his lair, only for Rocky to (without letting him know Shade was there) offer Humdinger a free teapot of his Kitty Carrier. Shade then gets the zapper as Rocky and Shade skedaddle out of there, with Humdinger wondering where his zapper went.
As Hench Cat wakes up, he resumes eating metal as his battery goes up to full power, and he flies over to his next target as the team goes after him.
Hench Cat then goes over to the Lookout next. The pups are in complete worry as Wild tells Marshall to use his water cannons, saying that "Cats don’t like water, and robot cats like it even less!". It’s no use, however, as he plays with the periscope. Leo uses his lion strength to hold the Lookout in place with Rubble, which slides Hench Cat off and onto the bridge. Hench Cat is then cornered by everyone as Wild makes Hench Cat dizzy.
Shade then arrives with the zapper as Mayor Humdinger instructed Hench Cat to eat it. Before he can though, Shade uses her tail sweep to get the zapper away from him, but she ends up falling. Skye saves her as Shade is able to zap Hench Cat back to normal.
Mayor Goodway thanks the pups for helping, but Ryder especially thanks Wild and the Cat Pack. The team then laughs to end the episode.
