    Gadget goes to the Winterland Resort where the world's athletes are gathered for the opening of the Olympic games. Dr.Claw tries to ruin the Olympics by replacing the torch bearer with a M.A.D. Agent and replacing the torch with dynamite. NOTE: This was a re-worked version of the pilot episode "Winter Olympics". Some of the dialogue was re-dubbed to address the purpose of Gadget's mustache, and the standard season 1 opening and ending credits were used.
