At Channel 6, Irma asks her friend April O'Neil when April shall meet the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (TMNT). Burne Thompson tells April it is a slow news day and to go out and make news
Meanwhile in the sewer system under New York City, Splinter leaves the TMNT for three days fast and meditation.
Krang wants to destroy the TMNT, saying Shredde has let those turtles escape for the last time. Krang wants to re-power the Technodrome and send it from Dimension X to Earth. Shredder takes Bebop and Rocksteady to Niagara Falls at the border between the United States and Canada, use Krangs "polarity deflector" to transport the power to the Technodrome.
When a black out strikes against New York City, the staff at Channel 6 are discussing what is happening. April contacts the TMNT. Donatello tries to listen to the plan through the communicator, but tries to get bugs out of the communicator. The turtles discover that Krang and Shredder are behind this.
When the TMNT and April arrive at the Niagara Falls in their blimp, they are attacked by Bebop and Rocksteady. Bebop fires his laser gun, shooting down the blimps glider. Donatello saves the TMNT and April by using the blimps remote control, sending down the ropes from the blimps balloon. The TMNT and April fly away and land safe, hanging in the ropes as the glider falls down the waterfall.
The TMNT then encounter Splinter, who had seen the electricity coming out from the plant, creating a dimensional portal. The TMNT rush into the plant and stop the flow of the river. But Krang has power in reserve to re-open the dimensional portal, and the Technodrome arrives. The turtles are now surrounded by hundreds of viechles the foot and rock soldiers are in and just as shredder orders them to attack, Krang wants to finish them himself. Krang tries to fire a laser gun from the Technodrome, but the gun doesn't work because Krang used to much power to keep the dimensional portal open.
Chased by Shredder, the TMNT must escape back to New York City.
Shredder reactivates the Hydro Electric Plant, which recharges the Technodrome. Krang burrows the Technodrome underground, causing an earthquake in New York City. Krang then takes over the TV:s in the city, and broadcast that he demands that the inhabitants must leave the city within 24 hours. If they don't leave the city, Krang will cause a bigger earthquake, destroying the city.
The TMNT, who had heard Krangs message, search the underground and discover the Technodrome. The TMNT break inside it and while Splinter fights Shredder on a bridge inside the Technodrome, the TMNT fight Bebop, Rocksteady and the Foot Soldiers in the control room and the and tie them up. Donatello tries to change the wires in the control room.
When the inhabitants refuse to leave New York City, Krang tries to start a new earthquake. But because Donatello changed the wires in the control room, the seismic polarities are changed, causing the Technodrome to drill deeper underground, reaching the Earth's core. The TMNT leave the Technodrome, but reminds that they forgot Splinter. However, Splinter just manage to escape. Krang blames Shredder, whom is last seen dangling by his cape at the end of the now half broken bridge he fought Splinter. The Technodrome comes down to the Earths core.
In the New York City sewer system, the TMNT celebrate their victory.
