Spuds Malone, the head chef of the 'Ol Bad Guys & Gals Retirement Home, was once the criminal inventor of the notorious "Red Rose" tommy gun back in Depression-era gangland.

Coincidentally, it turns out Gadget once witnessed and escaped certain harm during one of Malone's last gang wars as a baby, which is enough reason to cajole him to take the job. What later ensues is a manic wild-goose-chase across Metro City for Spuds and his old cronies to relocate his forgotten weapon with Gadget and Capeman unwittingly hot on their trail with a stupefying gun of their own (only this one fires corrosive sour cream pellets)!
