Plot[]
Frustrated over his three failed attempts to get the Madballs, Dr. Frankenbeans remembers their origin story and wonders if there are any rubber balls still in the alley the day the rubber ball car crashed. He finds eight rubber balls and dumps them in the toxic chemical pond, creating the new Madballs. He convinces the new Madballs that the original Madballs are impostors holding children hostage. Unfortunately for Frankenbeans, the new Madballs later betray him and team up with the original Madballs. Needing a place to stay, all 16 Madballs start living in the deserted Aragon Ballroom.

Plot[]
A news reporter named Ben DeFax dons the guise of Anchor Man and uses a device called the Micro-Phoney to control the minds of anyone watching his news show WBLA News and make them steal valuables. Things get out of hand when Anchor Man's victims include the children, Screamin' Meemie, Dust Brain, and Fist Face. Luckily, Wolf Breath uses his bad breath to break the three Madballs free of Anchor Man's hypnotic thrall. Dust Brain uses his gauze to prevent himself and the other Madballs from submitting to Anchor Man's mind control. After a long battle, they destroy Anchor Man's Micro-Phoney, freeing everyone from its mind-controlling effects. After Anchor Man is sent to jail, the Madballs and the children decide to read some books instead of watching television(much to Screamin' Meemie's confusion).
