==Plot synopsis==
[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are listening to the song "{{wp|Girls Just Want to Have Fun}}" on the radio at [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing|Mario Brothers Plumbing]], when the song is interrupted by an announcer. The announcer claims that according to singer [[Cyndi Lauper]], [[Lou Albano]] has gone missing. Mario cannot believe what he is hearing, and neither can Luigi, who reassures Mario, since Captain Lou is his hero and role model, that he will be found soon. Mario hopes that Luigi is right, because he is certain that Captain Lou was the nicest man in the world.

Just then, the doorbell rings, and Mario tells the visitor to come in. The visitor turns out to be Cyndi Lauper, who had been passing out fliers about Captain Lou to people around [[Brooklyn]]. Cyndi tells Mario and Luigi that she was supposed to have gone on a picnic lunch with Captain Lou, but that all she found were rubber bands for his beard, and a note that reads:

Captain Lou says that he was tired of waiting for Cyndi at his house, so he followed the fliers she had put up on telephone poles, which led him to Mario Brothers Plumbing. Cyndi introduces Luigi to Captain Lou, and the two shake hands. Captain Lou and Cyndi then get ready to leave before it gets too late. Cyndi thanks Luigi for all their help, and asks him to say goodbye to Mario for her. As Captain Lou and Cyndi leave, Luigi comments that Mario will not believe he missed his chance to meet Captain Lou.

==Notes==
*Throughout his appearance, [[Lou Albano|Captain Lou]] holds a bucket of fried chicken that is very similar in design to {{wp|KFC}}'s chicken buckets, with {{wp|Colonel Sanders}}'s head being replaced with Captain Lou's.
*When the episode was aired with "[[Mario and Joliet]]," the [[Mario's face|Mario head]] transition consisted of it spinning from the top of the screen and increasing in size as it headed towards the center. When it was aired with "[[Robo Koopa (episode)|Robo Koopa]]," it instead consisted of it spinning from the left side of the screen and increasing in size as it headed towards the center.<ref name=Airings/>
**On a related note, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and the search team saying "uh-oh" was cut off when it aired with the latter episode.<ref name=Airings/>
