Captain Planet and the Planeteers: In this first exciting episode, the nasty Hoggish Greedly and his sidekick, Rigger, use a devastating land-blaster oil rig to tap into an oil fieid under the sea bed. The distruption is enough to awaken Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, from her long slumber. She soon learns to her horror that Greedly's merciless deeds are not uncommon in the world today, Earth is suffering terribly from all kinds of environmental damage every day. Refusing to sit back and do nothing again, Gaia calls forth five special young people from all five corners of the globe, and provides each of them with rings that control the four elments of the earth, plus one new power that can sway the hearts of it's inhabitants. Kwame-From Africa, controls the power of Earth. Wheeler-From North America, controls the power of Fire. Linka-From Russia, controls the power of wind. Gi-From Asia, controls the power of Water. Mat-Ti-From South America, controls the power of Heart. When they are sent to stop Greedly, they soon find that the situation is greater than themselves, so with Gaia's instruction, they combine their powers, summoning Captain Planet. After some display of his feats, and weaknesses, Captain Planet is able to run Greedly off. Now begins the journey of five teens, dedicated to trying to make Earth healthy again.
