Captain Lou is Missing (Live Action Sketch)
Mario and Luigi are listening to the song "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" on the radio at Mario Brothers Plumbing, when the song is interrupted by an announcer. The announcer claims that according to singer Cyndi Lauper, Lou Albano has gone missing. Mario cannot believe what he is hearing, and neither can Luigi, who reassures Mario, since Captain Lou is his hero and role model, that he will be found soon. Mario hopes that Luigi is right, because he is certain that Captain Lou was the nicest man in the world.
Just then, the doorbell rings, and Mario tells the visitor to come in. The visitor turns out to be Cyndi Lauper, who had been passing out flyers about Captain Lou to people around Brooklyn. Cyndi tells Mario and Luigi that she was supposed to have gone on a picnic lunch with Captain Lou, but that all she found were rubber bands for his beard, and a note that reads:
Some time later, Mario, Luigi and Cyndi have organized a world-wide search party for Captain Lou at Mario Brothers Plumbing, with several other volunteers, including Edison. Cyndi reads the group a note from officials in Moscow, stating that "Comrade Louski" is not there, and that they have requested for more 8-track tapes. Mario offers to send his Jim Nabors tapes, but Luigi tells Cyndi that the Moscow officials were the last members of the Lou search teams. Cyndi claims that they have to keep searching for Captain Lou, no matter how grim things may get. The team applauds Cyndi for her speech, but Cyndi then receives a message from the President. Reading the message aloud, Cyndi says that the President has called off Operation Lou Search, and has decreed Captain Lou missing forever.
Afterwards, the Lou search team has disbanded, leaving only Mario, Luigi and Cyndi. Mario and Luigi try to cheer Cyndi up, and Mario reminds her that she at least had the chance to know Captain Lou, wishing that he himself could at least met him. Wanting more pizza, Mario tells her that the ones they had were all eaten by the search team, and offers to go out and pick up some more. Cyndi thanks Mario, telling him that he is as nice as Captain Lou.
Some time later, the doorbell rings, and Luigi tells the visitor to come in. Captain Lou himself enters the basement carrying a bucket of fried chicken, much to Luigi and Cyndi's surprise. Cyndi asks Captain Lou where he has been, and she shows him his note. Upon hearing Cyndi read his message, Captain Lou realizes that there was a mistake because he tore the note off wrong. Captain Lou claims that the last part of his note should have read, "I've gone for good fried chicken. Back in an hour."
