The intro begins with a car's siren. Gadget runs his ID through a scanner attached to a trash can. Upon acceptance of his ID, the trash can opens, revealing a secret passageway. Gadget looks around to make sure he isn't being followed and then enters the secret passageway through the trash can. When the trash can closes, Gadget activates his Gadget Flashlight as he navigates the tunnel. Once he's out of the tunnel, he climbs up the stairs and goes through a series of doors before going into another secret passageway that comes out through a wardrobe. He opens a safe to receive his assignment from Chief Quimby. As Gadget departs with his Gadget Copter, the message self-destructs. Penny observes Gadget's progress through her electronic book as the Gadgetmobile transforms. Having used his Gadget Springs, Gadget activates his Gadget Blimp. Penny communicates with Brain on her watch. Brain helps Gadget proceed on a high wire between buildings. Gadget meets Dr. Claw, only to realize that Dr. Claw has escaped and set an explosive trap for him. At the end, the series' logo appears with the upside-down Gadget.
