[edit] Brief Summary

Numbuh 1 suspects that the Gallagher Elementary Fourth Grade Presidential Elections have been rigged when the Delightful Children from Down the Lane get elected as Class President(s), and he is right after being arrested by the Hall Squad and the DCFDTL's personal Hall Monitors, the Six-Gum Gang and tossed into Permanent Detention. Numbuh 1 soon finds out that he is the real winner of the election, and must break out of detention and stop the DCFDTL before they wage a war on the middle school, just so they can pull a Benedict Arnold on Gallagher so they can be promoted to the eighth grade.

[edit] Plot/Synopsis

The episode begins as Numbuh 1 gives a speech to the students of Gallagher Elementary in the auditorium about what a rough year Gallagher Elementary School has had: the students have endured the Six-Gum Gang robbing homework on school buses, Were-Poodle attacks and Gramma Stuffum and her Food Minions working in the school's cafeteria, and nothing is more devastating than the loss of Fourth Grade President James Nixon McGarfield and tells the students about his going from a fair and just politician to completely evil and about his crimes in Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G., which included Jimmy totally trying to steal Lizzie from him! He thanks the children for electing him to the position of Fourth Grade President. The president's secretary, Wilson Woodrow interrupts Numbuh 1 onstage and announces that this election belongs not to Numbuh 1, but to the Delightful Children from Down the Lane!!!

After the opening credits, Numbuh 1 becomes outraged at this and attacks them, and the Hall Monitors apprehend him. The rest of his team tries to help Numbuh 1, but other Hall Monitors and the Six-Gum Gang block their path. The Delightful Children give a speech on how they'll cleanse the school of all troublemakers who attack the fourth grade president, and they claim Numbuh 1 is one of them. Numbuh 1 tells the students he isn't a troublemaker and demands a recount as the Hall Monitors drag him to the Student Court.

At the Courtroom, Numbuhs 2 and 5 tell Numbuh 4 that Numbuh $1.50 an hour will be there to defend Numbuh 1. He can't lose; he's a fifth-grader. The court goes into session, and the Delightful Children turn out to be the judges. They find Numbuh 1 guilty for attacking them and send him to Permanent Detention, and if that wasn't bad enough, the Delightful Children then plan to start a civil war between the fourth and fifth grades! (during the scene where the fifth graders get attacked, there is a kid that has the same hair color, shirt, and hat as Ash Ketchum.) The rest of the team must figure out a way to help Numbuh 1 and quick!

In the Permanent Detention Room, Runt comes along and talks to Numbuh 1 and apologizes for the lack of decoration. Numbuh 1 demands to be set free so that he can reveal to the students the DCFDTL stole the election and who knows what they'll do next. Runt tells him the DCFDTL will be saving him and the rest of his friends a front spot in the cafeteria line and all he's got to do is stop Numbuh 1 from getting out of detention by all means. Numbuh 1 meets up with Wilson after Runt leaves. Wilson tells Numbuh 1 that Numbuh 1 actually won the election and that the Delightful Children stole it from him and how does Wilson know this? He counts the votes and he confesses that he succumbed to bribery: The Delightful Children promised Wilson a slice of their birthday cake if he fudged the results a little, even though the Delightful Children weren't on the ballot. Wilson knows that and he knew he shouldn't have trusted the Delightful Children and the minute they got elected, they blamed him for tying Muffy Jenkins' shoelaces together, which got him life in detention with no chance for recess. "Serves you right", Numbuh 1 says to him. Wilson tells Numbuh 1 he must liberate all of the kids in detention so they can stop the Delightful Children's evil plan. Numbuh 1 doesn't know what they're planning, but he's sure to find out in Part 2!

In the Fourth Grade President's office, the Delightful Children expand their plans: After cutting off the fifth-graders' milk money supply, they immediately surrendered to the fourth grade safety patrol and the fourth and fifth grades are to fight the first, second, and third grades, and that some of the fifth graders were initiated into the fourth grade safety patrol.

When the kids leave homeroom to fight the first-, second- and third-grades, Numbuh 5 gathers the rest of the KND operatives and tells them what the DCFDTL are doing. Numbuh 4 thinks school was starting to get fun for once, but Numbuh 5 tells the team they must bust Numbuh 1 out of detention before the Delightful Children reveal their plans to rise from the rubble and take over the school. However, Numbuh 2 isn't so confident, since no one has ever escaped from detention before. Numbuh 3 thinks Numbuh 1 might be having fun in there.

During a math lesson, Numbuh 4 asks Numbuh 5 for some gum and tells her he's saving it for after school. Lunk confiscates the gum and walks away. Everything was going according to plan. At Numbuh 1's cell, Lunk arrives and serves Numbuh 1 some gruel, and Numbuh 1 asks Lunk if he has an extra piece of gum. Lunk refuses to give the gum to Numbuh 1. Numbuh 1 reaches into Lunk's mouth, grabs the wad of gum and turns it into a prison key and escapes. The gum was actually the KND GUMMBO. Wilbur and Dixie notice Numbuh 1 escaping and chase after him. Numbuh 1 uses the GUMMBO's stretchiness to do some web-slinging to evade Wilbur, Dixie and the fifth grade safety patrol. Goof inadvertently lets him out, and Runt scolds Goof for it. Runt notifies the other Hall Monitors about Numbuh 1 escaping and tells them to do a full search throughout the school.

Meanwhile, in the Fourth Grade President's office, the first, second and third grade presidents are discussing their surrender to the Delightful Children. The Delightful Children further expand their plans: After the Delightful Children are finished conquering all the grades of Gallagher Elementary and forming a supreme empire, they plan to attack Hendry Middle School.

In the Gym, the students are preparing themselves for their fight against Hendry Middle School. Some of the kids are pretty nervous fighting the Middle-Schoolers (or the Big Kids). When the First Grade President announces Hendry Middle School is approaching at 4 meters, the kids get their bikes and scooters ready, armed with tennis balls and powered with rocket fuel 'cause the bikes, trikes and scooters are like karts from the Mario Kart series and tennis balls are like Koopa shells from the Mario series, while Numbuh 5 wonders where Numbuh 1 is and that he should've escaped by now.

While Numbuh 1 is being hunted by the Hall Squad, he seeks sanctuary in the Fourth Grade President's office. The Hall Monitors finally find Numbuh 1, but Numbuh 1 tells them before they can take him away, there is something he wants to show them. At their office, the Delightful Children receive a call from Chad (formerly Numbuh 274 until decommissioning), a student at Hendry Middle School and a long-time enemy of the Kids Next Door. The Delightfuls tell Chad that after they stole the election and pitted the grades against each other, the kids will be no match for his teenage technology, due to the fact the kids are armed with bikes and scooters and Chad tells the Delightful Children that after Hendry conquers Gallagher Elementary, every student at Hendry Middle School will have their own little slave to carry their books, wash and dry their gym clothes, and clean out their lockers, and the Delightful Children will be promoted to the eighth-grade, a step forward in their never-ending pursuit toward adulthood, provided that the DCFDTL must keep the KND out of Chad's way. One of the Hall Monitors say "I can't believe those Delightfuls stole the election and that they would want to pull a Benedict Arnold on our school so they can become eighth-graders! Us Hall Monitors never follow the orders of a President that is a traitor to our school!". Numbuh 1 broadcasts the Delightfuls' treasonous announcement throughout the school using the P.A. system. The students glare angrily at the DCFDTL upon realizing their betrayal and Numbuh 1 gets them arrested by the Hall Squad.

When Hendry Middle School continues to approach Gallagher Elementary, Numbuh 1 rallies the students to fight back, determined to win the fight or get noogied and purple-nurpled trying. At a classroom at Hendry, a classmate tells Chad that the school is almost in range. His teacher tells Chad, addressed as "Mr. Dickson," and his classmate to sit down, preferring that Chad discusses to his friends about conquering elementary schools after class. As the students get ready to attack Hendry Middle School, the teenagers get ready to fight too, using what appear to be aerodynamic racing bicycles. As the Second Grade Squad storms the school for the target, the drinking fountains shoot two of the second graders down ( the second one being the 2 grade president). Chad, while trying to impress with a cheerleader, notices one of the second graders racing around the school and he discovers what the KND are doing and orders one of his classmates to get his bike ready.It is a direct parody of Star Wars and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

After a long struggle that leaves all of the other class presidents defeated, Numbuhs 1, 2, 3 and 4 make it inside the school to locate the target. Numbuhs 2, 3 and 4 get shot down by Chad and the other Teen Ninjas. Numbuh 1 reaches the target: Principal Hendry's office and launches a tennis ball at the door, but the ball barely misses, hitting the door frame instead and landing quietly on the ground. Chad, however, slips on the tennis ball and crashes into the Principal's office. In Principal Hendry's rage, the middle school starts to blow up and sink, but Numbuh 1 makes it out of the school just in time! Wow! President Jimmy could've been there to see that! The kids gather and return to Gallagher Elementary.

Numbuh 1 thanks the students for electing him for the position as Fourth Grade President, but Wilson tells him he didn't win the election. Wilson merely told Numbuh 1 that to get him out of detention. Eggbert Eggleston is announced the real winner of the election, and Numbuh 1 wonders who would vote for him. His team whistles and walks away.

During the credits, Eggbert is launching his campaign as class president.
