Monster Massachusetts

"Monster Massachusetts" is an episode from The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

Synopsis
Mad scientist Dr. Cagliostro wants to make Timon and Pumbaa beautiful with his Metamorphotron. However, the machine makes his test subjects ugly. Can they change back so they can get out of the Cagliostro laboratory?

Plot
The episode starts by introducing a mad scientist named Dr. Cagliostro. Dr. Cagliostro asks his monster, Torgo, to bring Timon and Pumbaa to him. The scientist tells Timon that he's going to turn the meerkat into the world's most beautiful creature, but Timon tells him that he's already beautiful, but Pumbaa could use some improvements. Dr. Cagliostro throws Timon to a cage. Pumbaa becomes excited about being beautiful and Torgo puts the warthog into a machine called The Metamorphitron. After the machine does its work, Timon, Dr. Cagliostro, and Torgo see that Pumbaa turned into an ugly creature with bulgy eyes, crooked buck teeth, his front feet looking like duck feet, a rat tail, and legs of a man.

Dr. Cagliostro is not happy about his work and tells Torgo to put Pumbaa in the cage with Timon. The scientist takes out a picture of Albert Einstein and asks him what he has done wrong. Albert Einstein "whispers to Dr. Cagliostro's ear and tells him to check the math." Dr. Cagliostro tells Torgo that they have work to do and the two go upstairs. Timon and Pumbaa then try to find a way to push the cage button to get out of the cage. Timon grabs his suitcase and takes out a boomerang. Pumbaa says that using a boomerang is not a good idea but Timon doesn't listen. Timon throws it and it hits him in the head. The meerkat throws the boomerang again, the boomerang goes back and hits a laser that barbecues Timon and Pumbaa, and then the boomerang hits Timon in the head again.

Timon uses some darts to hit the cage button. Every darts Timon used missed the button and Timon only has one more dart to use. The last dart hit the button, but it turns out the button makes a bigger cage fall down instead of making the cage open. Pumbaa then gets an idea and makes a magic trick and the two cages disappear. Pumbaa goes inside the Metamorphitron to change back to normal. Then Timon runs into Torgo and tries to find a place to hide. Pumbaa makes the meerkat hide in the Metamorphitron. Pumbaa is now changed back to normal, however, Timon turned into an ugly creature with green hair that goes up, a red nose, a sharp knife-like bone on his back, a tail of a rooster, and legs of a fowl. Torgo catches Timon and Pumbaa, then Timon makes a Number 3 plan to get Torgo on their side so he can be changed back to normal.

Timon tells Torgo that Dr. Cagliostro will soon replace him with another monster. This causes Torgo to get upset and destroy everything in the laboratory. Torgo first destroys the Metamorphitron while Timon tries to stop him because it's the only thing that can change him back to normal. Dr. Cagliostro catches Torgo destroying the Metamorphitron and tries to stop him as well. Then, the laboratory gets destroyed and Torgo turned into a beautiful woman and Timon is back to normal. Dr. Cagliostro gets a crush on Torgo and two are going to get married. However, when Dr. Cagliostro and Torgo leave, it turns out that Timon and Pumbaa are mutated together, with Timon and his upper half as Pumbaa's tail, Timon's hands as Pumbaa's front feet, and Pumbaa (all except for his head) in Timon's colors.
