Kind of a Drag (こわーい?コーン守のヒ・ミ・ツ, Kowaai? Koon-no-kami no hi-mi-tsu) is the 8th episode of Samurai Pizza Cats.
Plot[]
Big Cheese is throwing severely embarrassing tantrums, and he wants revenge. During delivery, Guido bumps into a girl and becomes awed with her beauty. She explains that she is being chased by Ninja Crows but Guido was not listening. When the Ninja Crows approach, Guido made them retreat. Taking Ruby home, Guido finally arrives at Ruby's condominium and is very impressed by the high-class building (but inside is a dump). She reveals that she had made a dress for Big Cheese's niece (which turns out to be a lie and she doesn't realize she made the dress for him.), and when Guido left, Bad Bird bursts in but is scared away by the noise from Ruby cutting sheet metal with a band saw. Bad Bird returns to the Ninja Crows to tell them where the girl lives. Seymour tells them that he was dressing up in costume for The Sound of Music (he was Maria von Trapp), when Ruby stumbled in on him, embarrassing him completely. He wants to dispose of her before she tells anyone about it. The Pizza Cats receives a call from Ruby that her house is being attacked. They send Bat Cat to pull Ruby and her father out of the way from a robot. Speedy successfully destroys the maniacal robot with his Ginzu Sword. When Big Cheese realizes that the girl was almost blind, his plan was a complete waste as she was not even able to see him in the costume (for Sound of Music). Guido is shocked when Ruby's homely boyfriend arrives.
