The Electric Eel and his gang head for Washington, D.C. to take over the country. But Underdog is on the mend; the waters of the lake sap the electric charges from the Eel's trap. Underdog heads for Polly's TV station, where he finds out that the crooks are heading for our nation's capitol to force the President to turn over control of the country to them. Quickly, Underdog heads for the Sandwich Glass Blowing Factory. When he gets there, he asks the factory's owners to show him their biggest glass jar. When they can't find a glass jar big enough to hold a man, Underdog learns how to blow his own giant glass jar.

Flim and Polly agree that humble, loveable Shoeshine boy would be able to make sense of the riddle 'A Rhyme in Time Saves Nine'. Shoeshine deduces that 'rhyme' refers to Underdog, since he always talks in rhyme, 'time' refers to clock, Polly suggests Big Ben, but says that that's in London. Shoeshine deduces, what the biggest 'Ben' is around in the city, to which Polly responds 'Ben's Jewelry Store' (not Big Ben). As for 'Nine' Shoeshine deciphers that there are nine players on a baseball team and baseball is played on a diamond. Polly then sums up the solution of the riddle that if Underdog gets to Ben's Jewelry Store he can save the diamonds. She then tells Shoeshine to hurry and find Underdog. Shoeshine immediately rushes to the nearest phone booth and becomes Underdog (no waiting) Prior to arriving the Electric Eel demonstrates to Ben and the others he is holding up, the trap of an electrical field he has waiting for Underdog. When Underdog arrives, he steps into the trap and can't break free of the electrical field.

After a violent thunderstorm ravages the city, the community gathers in front of one of the steel buildings to see a message revealed inscribed on its side: 'To Underdog, A Rhyme in Time Saves Nine'. Sweet Polly asks Flim Flannigan at the police station what it means. Flim explains it could only be the work of Slippery Eel. A few weeks earlier, Eel, Fish, and their henchmen attempted to rob an armored car. They were caught by Underdog and were sent to the maximum prison with the electric fence. Still determined to get out, Slippery Eel tells his boys that he is going to climb the fence now that the power didn't seem to be on. Midway climbing the fence, the guards see him trying to escape and turn on the electricity. However, instead of electrocuting him, it electrifies him, and he then claims that he is now 'The Electric Eel'. He shoots bursts of electricity at the fence and wall and escapes with Fish and the gang, all the while vowing to get even with Underdog.

In this final episode, Shoeshine asks for a drink of water after being placed in his cell. When he gets it from the guard he tosses it into the guards eyes. While the guard tries to regain his sight, the prisoners escape locking him in the cell. The next phase of their plan is to get the Granite Gun which is in the throne room of Captain Marblehead who is enjoying his meal. Polly attempts to clobber the Captain with a pipe, but it has no effect on his stone head. He then calls for the guards who round up the prisoners. In the confusion, the guards hurl a projectile at the prisoners who duck and allows it to break open a wall to reveal a phone booth. Shoeshine sees this opportunity and changes into Underdog. He races to free the prisoners only to face Captain Marblehead and the Granite Gun. Underdog gets temporarily made of stone but then breaks free. He then melts the Granite Gun with his x-ray vision. After defeating Captain Marblehead, he tells him to mine his own rocks in the quarry and then heads home and frees all those who were turned to stone.

Polly watches helplessly as Underdog fall victim to the witch doctor's voodoo spell. Luckily, a passing sea gull grabs the Underdog doll and takes it to a remote island. There, a monkey takes the doll to the top of a volcano, preparing to throw the doll in. In the meantime, Riff Raff And his Ghost Ship Gang sneak aboard the Queen May and begin to loot the ship. Needing every ounce of his super strength to break the witch doctor's spell, Underdog takes one of his super energy pills. Free of the spell, Underdog flies to the Queen May with a paintbrush and a bucket of paint. Before long, the ghost ship is reveled by the superhero-cum-artist.
