Plot synopsis[edit]
Mario and Luigi are listening to the song "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" on the radio at 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 guy 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:
Dear Cyndi,
- I'm sorry I'm not here, but I've gone for good.
Some time later, Mario, Luigi and Cyndi have organized a world-wide search party for Captain Lou at Mario Brothers Plumbing, with several other volunteers, including Edison. Cyndi reads the group a note from officials in Moscow, stating that Comrade Louski is not there, and that they have requested for more 8-track tapes.
