Equipped with Klunk's latest invention - a weather machine - the Vulture Squadron tries to stop Yankee Doodle Pigeon for the umpteenth time.

According to Dastardly the Vulture Squadron will certainly be able to catch Yankee Doodle Pigeon if they learn to think like a pigeon. In order to achieve this, they should also sleep and eat like a pigeon.

During 'Operation Catapault,' Dastardly falls out of the plane and lands on his head. As a result of this, he loses his memory. Klunk takes command of the squadron, but their operations are no more successful than before. Eventually, Dastardly, Zilly and Klunk all fall on their heads from a plane. Dastardly's memory is restored by this, but now Klunk and Zilly don't seem to know who he is or who they are...
