"Escape from Detention Island" is the twenty-fourth episode of the first season of Randy Cunningham: Ninth Grade Ninja. It premiered on June 29, 2013.

Synopsis[]

When Howard and other students get sent to the dreaded Detention Island, the Ninja must figure out how to free them.

Plot[]

Howard Weinerman is granted a week's detention by Principal Slimovitz for creating a huge cheese mess in the cafeteria, to which Howard refuses to take responsibility for his actions, and is planning to come up with an excuse to escape from this fate before Randy's intervention. Unfortunately, Randy's explanation to help Howard get out of trouble ends up with Howard being sent to Detention Island, much to their dismay.

Howard arrives to the school grounds in preparation for takeoff, which Randy secretly joined in as well since he is worried for Howard. Randy consults the Nomicon for a solution to get out of this problem, to which the Nomicon advices him with the lesson;

"Let the warrior who holds the weapon fight the battle."

However, Randy misinterprets this message and concludes that the Ninja should be the one to help Howard since he holds the weapon.

When Howard arrives to the destination, he finds that Bucky Hensletter, Bash Johnson, and Morgan have also been sent to the island. Originally, The Disciplinarian was going to give them normal punishments based from their violations and mistakes, and strongly emphasizing that he despises cheaters. But upon finding out the Ninja followed them there ostensibly to "help" them, he figures they were a bunch of cheaters and sets the whole island up to be a death trap, making the challenges next to impossible.

Despite the four students, which includes his own best friend, being mad at him for making things harder for them, Ninja still believes it is his responsibility to help them. Unfortunately, his attempts, ranging from interrupting Bucky's challenge on geography, to disrupting Morgan's dance challenge, almost get The Disciplinarian to kill them all. This is enough to fed up the participants, who scold him for making matters difficult for them.

After the Ninja intervenes in every challenge and nearly kills his classmates, he finally understands the lesson the Nomicon was trying to teach him. Therefore, he learns to let the four students complete the challenge of catapulting Bucky on their own.

The Ninja and the students almost manage to reach the airship and escape, but then The Disciplinarian appears who declares that the "cheaters" do not leave the island and hits the Ninja, revealing that he is a robot, The Disciplinarian grabs Howard but the Ninja takes his sword and cuts off his arm, the students flee and the Ninja proceeds to punish The Disciplinarian who fights with his tie which transforms into a sword, the fight begins and the mountain erupts, The Disciplinarian immobilizes the Ninja but then the Ninja sees a river of lava next to him and throws a ball of lava into The Disciplinarian's mouth, causing him to choke and let him go, The Disciplinarian falls to the ground while vomiting fire and the Ninja tells him that detention is over and gives him the final blow, destroying him.

Everyone returns to Norrisville High but Principal Slimovitz is ready to give them even more punishment for destroying Detention Island, but Howard explains what happened for 5 minutes, which seems to appease Slimovitz enough to let them off the hook for no detention and punishment for them. The episode ends with Sundown asking Randy and Howard to look after his pudding, and both smirking for another prank, with a pudding splattered onto the screen.

  • Randy proves to be really good at math in this episode, shown by his equations to explain what happened to Principal Slimovitz.
