Plot[]
After Baloo and Wildcat inadvertently pick up a package belonging to Baloo's old rival, Ace London, Ace blames Baloo for the mix-up and Baloo has to clear his name while also dodging Air Pirates. When Baloo crashes at General Patton's base, Ace tells Patton that he is famous, not Baloo, accusing him to have stolen the engine, causing Baloo to declare that he is not a thief. The two pilots who are with Ace realize their mistake and tell Ace that Baloo is telling the truth, and that the wrong crate was loaded and then when Baloo tried to give it back Ace was shooting at him.
Patton is enraged at Ace's actions shooting civilians, his mishandling government property, his accusation of Baloo being a thief, and Ace aiding Don Karnage and his Air Pirates, and congratulates Baloo for testing the engine. Ace is then forced to deliver the rest of Baloo's pickles as his punishment and, breaking the fourth wall, says "You got that right". Ace begins sobbing on his plane before taking off.
