[edit] Plot
Rodolfo comes home one day and tells Manny & Frida about an epic battle he had with squid creatures trying to steal "The Jeweled Mule of Maya". He says that somebody (actually Grandpapi) escaped with it, but he will find them. After that, he goes to bed. Manny then tells Frida about Rodolfo's Bronze Boots of Truth. They give him his White Pantera abilities and anyone who touches the boots is forced to tell the truth. Frida suggests that they take the boots out for fun (replacing them with pots on Rodolfo's feet) and Manny agrees. They have fun around Miracle City all night. However, they end up destroying the boots. Manny puts them on Rodolfo's feet when he isn't looking. Rodolfo then goes to work. Howver, on the way there, he sees El Oso robbing a casino. White Pantera is easily beaten, due to his boots being wrecked. Rodolfo thinks that he is too old to fight crime, and becomes lazy. Manny and Frida try to fix the boots using plutonium. Then, Manny convinces Rodolfo to put the boots on. He agrees, and turns into White Pantera. All the plutonium did was let Rodolfo run fast. Manny tries to motivate White Pantera by saying that he could beat 100 villains at once. White Pantera takes this seriously, and goes to Calavera, where a lot of villains (including El Oso) live. Grandpapi wants to help Manny and Frida save him, because "putting your own father in danger is worse than evil". When they reach Calavera, Manny tells White Pantera the truth. Then, Manny and Grandpapi turn into El Tigre and Puma Loco, and together, defeat the villains. However, El Oso attacks El Tigre. White Pantera beats him to protect his son. Back at the house, Grandpapi fixes the boots. To test if they work, White Pantera makes Grandpapi touch them and Grandpapi admits to stealing the Jeweled Mule. He then says that he'll put it back. We then realize that his Golden Sombrero of Chaos is missing (Manny replaced it with a ham). The episode ends with Manny and Frida flying off in Puma Loco's robotic suit.
