As Tex defeats another challenger, Donkey Kong Jr. challenges him. As they wrestle, he manages to grab the keys from Tex before instantly defeating him. He tells the Trucknappers to meet at the hideout before driving the stolen truck to the location. The Turnpike Tex Truck Stop is not seen for the rest of the episode.
