[edit] Plot Summary
The swamp-dwelling Dr. Viper mutates his fellow evildoer Morbulus into a hulking bacteria blob following Morbulus' humiliating defeat by the SWAT Kats. The bacteria monster then goes on a rampage through Megakat City, inconveniently dividing into two anytime it's hit. Viper's plan is for the monsters to break into the supposedly impenetrable Megakat Biochemical Labs and steal Katalyst 99, a rare biochemical compound he wants. With normal weapons ineffective against the giant bacteria, the SWAT Kats quickly discover that the creatures have one weakness: electricity.

[edit] Trivia
Morbulus was originally called Occulus, until it was discovered that there was already a Fantastic Four villain with that name.
This was the first episode of the series to be completed and was also the story concept that the Tremblays used to sell the show.
Ann Gora has a different cameraman here than her usual one, Jonny.
