Spur: You've gotta stop that train! Rip Haywire: I'm on it. Well, almost. Kidnapping, robbery, bearded disguises, lame pickup lines and poisoning your thugs... you've been busy, highwayman. Highwayman: I'd like to add murder of the local lawman to that list! Rip Haywire: This is my idea of... fun! Breezy: I think he passed out because we're safe. Cobra Carson: Don't kid yourself, Red, it was for the gold. Rip Haywire: Highwayman, the bridge ahead is more broken than your fashion sense! The train won't make it across! Highwayman: Then you better worry about your girlfriends! They're riding on this train too, along with your boss' gold!

It's called Li'l Rip Haywire Adventurers: Escape from Camp Cooties." TNT: I remember that adventure... woof! We had to spend the entire summer in all-girls camp! I never thought that crazy kid would make it out of that one alive. R.J: That does explain his habit of making macaroni craft bracelets when he's stressed.
