Plot Synopsis[]
Duke Nukem is destroying the ozone layer over Antarctica in order to allow in more UV rays, which give him power. The Planeteers immediately fly out to stop him.
Episode Summary[]
Duke Nukem enters Antarctica with stolen factory-equipment, fridges, and ACs to cause chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to enlarge the hole in the ozone so he will get the radioactivity he needs to survive. The Planeteers arrive to prevent Earth from suffering for good, but when Linka, Kwame, and Gi are trapped by Nukem, they have to deal with the cold weather and his radiation at the same time, so have to think fast to get out in time to save the planet.
Planeteer Alerts[]
Captain Planet: I see you're catching some R&R.
Wheeler: No, Cap. We're catching rays.
Linka: We are sitting in the shade, Wheeler. You are getting burned.
Captain Planet: Linka's right. The sun's rays are very powerful and can burn your skin. And damage to the ozone layer, which protects our Earth, makes the problem even worse.
Gaia: Don't get burned. Protect your skin from the sun with clothing or sunblock.
Wheeler: Too much sun is no fun.
Captain Planet: The power is yours!

Quotes[]
- Leadsuit: Gosh, sure is pretty Mr. Nukem.
- Duke Nukem: Pretty, I HATE pretty! All I care about is my plan to turn the world into a radiation wasteland.
- Gi: Avelanche! Linka - get us out of here!
- Linka: That thought occurs to me.
- Duke Nukem: I'm losing that special glow, Lead Suit!
- Leadsuit: [runs over to him and clasps his hand] Thank you for calling me Lead *Suit*, sir. You've no idea what that means to me.
- Duke Nukem: [Linka, Kwame, and Gi run through the door] Oh, no. You let those bio-brats get into my refrigerator factory! I was right the first time - you *are* a Leadhead!
- Duke Nukem: [shoots a radiation beam at their feet, causing the snow to melt to water - and instantly refreeze to ice, trapping them] You kids think you're so good! Let's see if you can walk on water!
- Leadsuit: [puts a stick with something on it over a flame Nukem caused] Mm-mm, roasted marshmallow! [attempts to eat through his lead mask but creates a mess]
- Leadsuit: Yech. This suit has a lot of drawbacks.
- Linka: [bitterly, as Nukem revels in radioactivity] Well, at least *someone* is in a good mood.
- Gi: I would not like to see him in a *bad* mood.
- Wheeler: What's Duke Nukem making?
- Ma-Ti: Air-conditioners, just like ours. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- Wheeler: Yeah. We could've gotten ours a lot cheaper here.
- Duke Nukem: [of the penguins releasing the Planeteers] Lead Suit - what are those mangy birds doing over there?
- Leadsuit: Actually, sir, they're not mangy at all. They look very well-dressed.
- Duke Nukem: Spare me the fashion-review!
