[edit] Plot synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Xiaolin Monks decide to test the recently acquired Golden Tiger Claws. The training session is interrupted by Dojo Kanojo Cho just before Omi's turn. Dojo announces that the Changing Chopsticks, which allows someone to shrink to the size of a grain of rice, have just become active. They fly off to Easter Island to find them.

When they arrive, the Heylin witch Wuya, evil boy genius Jack Spicer, and their new compatriot, Katnappe are already there. Omi and Katnappe reach for the Shen Gong Wu at the same time and reach a stalemate. Omi challenges Katnappe to a game of tag, wagering the Golden Tiger Claws against the Fist of Tebigong. While Omi brags about his skills and the powers of his Shen Gong Wu, Katnappe uses the fist of Tebigong to create a small earthquake, which causes Omi to drop the Golden Tiger Claws. Katnappe recovers the fallen artifact and uses it to quickly defeat Omi, allowing the Heylin side to leave with all three of the mystical items.

In an attempt to comfort Omi, back at the temple, Kimiko Tohomiko tells Omi that he cannot always win. Master Fung decides it is time to teach the young monks the difference between losing and not winning, so he challenges them to a game promising to relieve them of chore duties should they win. The object of the game is to take a small jade statue from Master Fung. Omi, Kimiko, and Raimundo are taken out without coming close to the statue, while Kung Fu cowboy Clay Bailey manages to rope the statue. As he tries to pull it away, Master Fung pulls out a hammer and smashes the statue to pieces. The monks do not fully understand the lesson, but do remember their master telling them that not losing may be good enough.

Meanwhile, Wuya is praising Katnappe back in Jack’s laboratory. However, Katnappe decides that the Golden Tiger Claws are too much fun and abandons her new teammates to set off on her own agenda. The monks hear of the mischief caused by Katnappe in a short while and head for the Mall of the World. The quartet of heroes are confident that they can outsmart their foe after Master Fung’s lesson. Nevertheless, Katnappe defeats them using her cat-like abilities and the Golden Tiger Claws. After Katnappe escapes, Kimiko figures out that Katnappe would go to Catatonia Land, a theme park for cat fanatics.

The monks travel there on Dojo and find Katnappe having the time of her life on a roller coaster. Omi hopes they can form a plan based on what they learned from their previous encounters. Raimundo announces that the only thing he has learned is that Clay will not hit a girl, which gives Omi an idea. As Katnappe exits the roller coaster, Clay puts her in a bear hug because, technically, that is not fighting. After a short struggle, Omi swipes the Golden Tiger Claws away from her. Omi uses them to open a portal to the center of the Earth and throws the Golden Tiger Claws through. Jack and Wuya arrive to pick up a beaten Katnappe. Jack and Wuya announce their frustrations towards her as they fly away. While Omi may not have the Golden Tiger Claws he greatly desired, the evil forces of the Heylin no longer have them either, and that is good enough for him.
