The Bad Guys take on their most challenging rescue yet. Ten thousand chickens sit trapped inside a high-tech cage farm, and the team must break them out.

Most problematic of all, Mr. Snake joins the mission despite his reputation as "The Chicken Swallower." His natural instincts threaten to derail the entire operation. The team must navigate deadly security systems while keeping Snake focused on rescue instead of lunch. Each step brings new complications as the reformed villains try to prove they can be heroes.
