Girl Daredevil (Part 2)

Plot
Speed and Twinkle awake back into consciousness. Speed remembers the legends of the secret cave behind Niagara Falls, so they go there. They find a collection of Native American Totem poles. One of the Poles falls, narrowly missing them. It’s revealed the pole was pushed by Cornpone Brotch (identified as Cornpone Brush in the previous episode)!! He and his thugs arrive and show Speed the treasure. They tell Speed that he and Twinkle know too much and they’ll have to kill them as well as Twinkle's father. Speed fights off the thugs, but is eventually captured. The thugs hear on their radio the police are searching for the fallen cars. Believing they might find the cave entrance, the thugs blow it up. Brotch mentioned a secret, second exit then escapes in the Mach 5 which has regrown its tires.

Back on top of the Falls, Trixie asks to use a police helicopter radio to contact the Mach 5. Brotch taunts her, giving away his plan in the process.

Using her experience as an escape artist, Twinkle frees herself and Speed from the ropes that bind them. They start to follow the tire tracks to escape.

Trixie, in a police helicopter, along with Sparky, Spritle and Chim Chim, (but no police) spots Brotch in the Mach 5. Trixies prepares to go into the cave, but Speed and Twinkle exit the cave seconds later; Trixie picks them up. The gang secretly follows Brotch about 1,500 miles (about 2,400 km) from Ohio to South Dakota. During this time Speed tells the group how Brotch is wanted for many robberies.

Brotch enters his secret hideout located in Mount Rushmore. Later that night, Speed and the gang find the a way in. Chim Chim and Twinkle are able to climb up and attach a rope for the others. Speed is able to climb the rope, but Trixie, Sparky, and Spritle cannot follow.

Inside the mountain, Speed, Twinkle and Chim Chim find collections of stolen art and cars, including the Mach 5. Speed immediately makes for the Mach 5, but this is a trap. Brotch surrounds them with ferocious black panthers. While Speed fights the cats, Twinkle jumps to safety, hanging from a chandelier.

Trixie, Sparky, and Spritle return to the entrance, and drop a ladder from the helicopter. Trixie and Spritle climb down, leaving Sparky to pilot. They find the Mach 5 and jump in.

Speed is cornered by the panthers, but just when all hope seems last, Trixie barrels into the room in the Mach 5 and drives into the panthers. Speed and Twinkle jump in.

Brotch locks them all in the room. Sleeping gas seeps through vents in the wall and the panthers pass out. Speed and company are protected by the Mach 5's deflector shield. With a handkerchief over his face, Speed jumps out of his car and opens the door.

Spritle and Chim Chim feed the panthers candy, taming them. Now the panthers take orders from Chim Chim. Speed races the Mach 5 down the corridor, while Spritle and Chim Chim follow on patherback. The cats attack the thugs.

The gang enter a room where a lion sits in a cage, connected to another with Twinkle's father inside. Brotch tells them to step back or he'll let the lion into the clown's cage. Speed launches the homing robot at him, knocking his arm into the lever and releasing the lion. Twinkle reminds her father that he used to be the best animal trainer in the world. The clown reminds himself that he loves animals and they are his friends. This thought allows him to whip the lion into submission with his belt (Something may be lost in translation here, but I haven’t seen the sub). The lion retreats.

But then Brotch pulls out his gun and threatens Speed. Riding atop the panthers, Spritle and Chim Chim come to the rescue. Brooch is apprehended by the police.

Later, at Niagara Falls, Twinkle performs her trick again. This time, the clown accompanies her in the vehicle. Trixie and Sparky watch from below. Sparky comments that even though Speed didn’t make it to the Nitona Handicap race, he did a better thing by saving Twinkle and her father. Tixie says she can’t find Speed anywhere. The rope above breaks, but the car is just fine, balancing on only two wheels. They finished the trick successfully, raising enough money to continue the Universal Circus indefinitely. The clow is joyous, and the clown is Speed in disguise.
