Presidential Pac-Nappers is the first segment of the first episode of the first season of the Pac-Man animated series, and the first episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Mezmaron plans to take over the "Yellow House," home of Pac-President, so that Pac-Man will be forced to reveal the location of the Power Forest.[1]
Plot[]
The Ghost Monsters surrounding Pac-Man.
The episode begins with Pac-Man getting chased by the Ghost Monsters across Pac-Land. Pac-Man comments that he is running out of "Pac-Power," and needs Power Pellets to replenish his strength. As he is being chased, Sue uses a pipe to fling Pac-Man into the air, allowing the Ghosts to corner the hero. However, Ms. Pac-Man appears and rescues Pac-Man. She gives Pac-Man a bunch of Power Pellets, which turns the Ghosts blue. They flee, but Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man are able to eat all five of them. They return to Mezmaron, who scolds them for failing once again. He then states to the Ghosts that he was using his spy satellite to find the Power Forest so he can provide the energy of its Power Pellets to take over Pac-Land. Clyde reminds Mezmaron that Pac-Man is the chief of Power Forest. Mezmaron tells the Ghosts they will take over the Yellow House, home to the President of Pac-Land, as a method to get Pac-Man to tell him the location of the Power Forest.
The Ghost Monsters successfully infiltrating the Yellow House.
Later, the Ghost Monsters break into the Yellow House, capturing the Pac-President. They then broadcast their plan on television, with Clyde revealing to Pac-Man that they've kidnapped the President. Pac-Man leaves immediately to save him, and confronts the Ghosts. The Ghosts charge at Pac-Man, but are tricked by an inflatable Pac-Man. While they're distracted, Pac-Man rescues the Pac-President, giving him his last Power Pellet. The Ghosts corner Pac-Man, demanding to know where the Power Forest is. He refuses, so Clyde orders Pinky to inhale enough air to lift the entire Yellow House. Pac-Man tells the Ghosts where the Power Forest is, and Pinky returns the Yellow House to the ground. Mezmaron appears, and Pac-Man informs him the Power Forest is nearby.
Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man discussing dinner.
However, Mezmaron realizes he was tricked, and a swarm of Pac-People attack him, chomping at him as he retreats. Ms. Pac-Man gives Pac-Man some power pellets, enabling him to eat the Ghost Monsters, with the help of Ms. Pac-Man and the Pac-President. With the enemies gone, Pac-Man asks his wife what they are eating for dinner. She mentions that they are eating power pellets again, much to his disappointment. As the two walk into the sunset, Ms. Pac-Man mentions to her husband that he could have them any way he likes, with recipes such as "Power Pellets with chocolate sauce" and "Power Pellet Pie."
