Bombu appears in the middle of a major metropolitan city, threatening to decimate the world with the power of his Wallah Wallah Bing Bang. Two police officers, fearing that Bombu might actually pose a bit of a threat, increase the power setting on their tasers and take him down. Bombu is arrested and thrown into a county jail. Afforded the benefit of a single telephone call, Bombu contacts his high commander to report that his second attempt to conquer the Earth met with the same level of success as his first attempt.
