Synopsis []
One after another of the students at The Foremost World-Renowned International School of Lucha mysteriously act up and get expelled. But, the mystery all comes to a head when Buena Girl gets expelled for something she didn't do. Who could be impersonating our young luchadores and getting away with it?
Plot[]
The water on the sink bathrooms has been left on, the toilets are overflowing, and the shower heads have been ripped off in the boy's bathroom at the Foremost World-Renowned International School of Lucha. It appears Snow Pea is the one responsible for this. Tic Tac Toe and Minotoro go to the bathroom and get flooded on. The Headmistress then expels Snow Pea.
Later at lunch, the Mascaritas miss Snow Pea. Then "Minotauro" and Potato Patata Jr. start a food fight and "Minotauro" throws a pie in the Headmistress's face. Then Headmistress expels Minotauro. "Sr. Hasbeena" invites everyone into the Headmistress' office, but then the Headmistress gets angry and expels Senor Hasbeena. The teacher then says that you can't expel a teacher, but gets expelled for questioning authority. "Buena Girl" reads from the Code of Masked Wrestling and makes fun of the Headmistress by calling her a big fat jerk, and getting expelled.
Buena Girl thinks something wrong is going on. The Flea finds a duffle bag in the trash full of masks. Buena Girl thinks there is an imposter on the loose. The Flea wants to watch the Headmistress' surveillance tapes. So they sneak into the Headmistress' office, at the risk of getting expelled. They find the place with the surveillance tapes and think they find out who's doing it.
So, they go to the Headmistress' house to try to prove Buena Girl's innocence. They hand her the picture and prove her innocence, and they have a plan to prove Buena Girl's innocence. Rikochet calls everyone to an assembly because one of the students is the fake (but you can see that "El Perrito" is the fake).
So, Rikochet lures the thief into being the Headmistress. The real Headmistress is watching and the fake tries to run off, but Buena Girl catches him in the Code of Masked Wrestling. They unmask the villain, and they pull off masks only to find out that it's Timmy of a Thousand Masks. Timmy can wear anyone's mask and can get away with it. He confesses and is expelled by the real Headmistress. Timmy is threatening that he'll strike some other time but gets hit by lightning.
