The Monarch finally has the Venture family right where he wants them- hanging upside down above the Amazon river! But his victory is postponed when Dean suffers a strange but fairly common injury- acute testicular tortion. According to the bylaws of the Guild of Calamitous Intent, a temporary truce must be called in order to get Dean medical attention, so Brock and Hank are held as collateral. Doc calls on his friends, Master Billy Quizboy and Mr. White, to perform orchiopexy on Dean.
