Information[]

Summary[]

The group catches wind of some ice cream men who refuse to give ice cream to children, so they interrogate them and get the password to their ice cream factory, only to be in for a major surprise from the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, because the ice cream that they take turns into a monster that tries to eat them, but eventually gets defeated by a heater that was turned on by Number 3.

Plot[]

The episode starts with two children waiting for an ice cream truck to come. But it races past them leaving the two children very sad. Adults in ice cream trucks are not giving any ice cream to kids. Sector V takes over an ice cream truck to investigate. Numbuh 4 drives the truck and Numbuh 3 attempts to get ice cream, but is unable to. On the truck's roof, Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 interrogate one of the ice cream men for the password that will deactivate the ice cream factory's defense systems. As this happens, more ice cream trucks come. Numbuh 4 tries to lose them, but they come back with giant ice cream cone missiles and ice cream slicks. The ice cream man in front caused a spill of hot fudge. Numbuh 4 saw the hot fudge but managed to skid across and then saw the ice cream cone missile but drove on the wall, onto the tunnel ceiling’s roof, and arrived safely on the road although the missile hit the ice cream truck in front of them and landed on the one behind them. Strawberry and chocolate ice cream flew everywhere and onto the two ice cream men. Sector V takes out the pursuing trucks, (The first was dealt with by Numbuh 3 accidentally, and one of the trucks accidentally hits the truck in front, of Sector V which goes up and crashes the former.) and Numbuh 1 and Numbuh 5 finally retrieve the password, "frosty," from the ice cream man.

Numbuh 4 goes to the roof of the truck tells Numbuh 1 that they are approaching a roadblock, leaving them without a driver. Numbuh 1 told Numbuh 4 to turn the truck around but he left the truck to speak to Numbuh 1 and caused it to fall. This was a big mistake. They drive off a cliff and get saved by Numbuh 2 with the M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.T.O.H., leaving the ice cream men behind. They bring the original ice cream man into their truck, where the Delightful Children from Down the Lane are waiting. It is revealed that they have tricked Sector V by giving them the password.

Sector V is on the way to the factory. Numbuh 1 tells the others that the adults are hoarding the soft serve ice cream and arrange secret ice cream parties with no kids. Numbuh 1, 5, 4, and 2 were surprised but Numbuh 3 didn’t listen and was excited about the “party” even though kids weren’t allowed. Numbuh 1 tells Numbuh 3 to enter the password to the factory, but they can't get in, and the factory starts launching ice cream at them, in which Numbuh 2 said they had at least 41 flavors. The computer said, “access denied,” a few times. When Numbuh 1 checks on Numbuh 3, he finds out that she's entering, "I love parties" instead of "frosty". When Numbuh 1 enters "frosty", they are finally able to enter the factory. While Numbuh 1, 3, 4, and 5 entered through the factory, Numbuh 2 stayed behind to watch the vehicle, and started the ice cream taking procedure, while the others go down into the factory.

Numbuh 1 searched for the soft serve ice cream while Numbuh 3 went to look for blankets. Numbuh 1 found the soft serve ice cream and contacted Numbuh 2 to suck it up. As Numbuh 1, 4, and 5 made their way along, they are then confronted by the Delightful Children. Sector V saw the DCFDTL were in on the Ice Cream Men’s scheme. Numbuh 1 asked about different flavors of ice cream the DCFDTL were going to share with the adults. They tell Sector V that they were not going to eat any ice cream so instead, they have a plan to stop them, and said that the ice cream will be eating the KND instead. Just then a giant clanging sound was heard. Nigel contacted Hoagie about was going on but he didn’t know. The clanging sound was coming from behind the door safe of the M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.T.O.H. Just when things were about to get a little bit hasty, Numbuh 2 got scared and said that they had a problem. Numbuh 2 and the M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.T.O.H. crashed through the ceiling. Numbuh 2 came out and said he was peachy keen but he was wrong. Suddenly, a giant ice cream monster comes in and lands on Numbuh 2. The monster takes down Numbuh 1 by getting him stuck to the wall with cones, Numbuh 5 by getting her stuck under vanilla ice cream and a cherry, and Numbuh 4 by getting him in chocolate fudge ice cream and it hardened, but meanwhile Numbuh 3 has ran off looking for a heater or blankets since she is cold. Just when things were about to get “cold” it got “hot” when Numbuh 3 managed to save the day by triggering the heater, stopping the monster by melting it right before it goes to finish off Numbuh 1. As Numbuh 5 and 4 managed to break free, Numbuh 3 arrives and saw the monster and felt puzzled and thought the “party” started without her. Then as the Ice Cream Beast melted, an ice cream flood started to brew and washed Numbuh 3, 1, 4, 5, and 2 away.

The Delightful Children are upset and confused, saying, "A heater?! Who puts a heater in an ice cream factory?!" The Ice Cream Men had should’ve known better than to put a heater in an ice cream factory and then the ice cream flood washed them and the DCFDTL away too. Sector V leaves the factory with the ice cream, and the other 2 children finally get their ice cream although they too get washed away in the ice cream flood. Numbuh 3 leads a cheer of, "Party! Ice Cream Party!" and Numbuh 1, 2, 4, 5, and the 2 children joined in and kept cheering into the sunset.

Series Continuity[]

Cultural References[]

  • The monster in the Ice Cream Factory resembles Bowser from the Super Mario Bros. series. Although its ice cream claws replace the horns, shell-spikes, and claws. The biggest resemblance is the spiked shell.
    • It also may be a spoof of the "Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man" from Ghostbusters.
  • Tom Warburton asked Matt Peters to base the chase scene on the one from Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro.[3]
    • The car chase scene may also be inspired by the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever.
    • One scene during the ice cream truck chase resembles the truck chase scene in Licence to Kill.
  • In the Spanish version of this episode, instead of Nigel saying, "So, long, Suckers", he says, "Hasta la Vista, baby", which is a reference to Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Goofs[]

  • The Ice Cream Man holding onto the large ice cream cone on top of the Ice Cream Truck is missing when the truck rounds the first corner at the beginning of the episode.
  • When the bearded Ice Cream Man switched gear to drive past Numbuh 4, he either put in first or reverse, judging by the numbers on the gear stick and the direction he pushed it.
  • More than six keyboard taps could be heard when Numbuh 1 typed "Frosty" into the computer.
  • When Numbuh 3 first appears wearing her party dress, her neck wasn't colored.
