Kasumi is walking down the street shopping. Akane comes along calling her
and shows the new stuffed animal pig that she just got. She says she had
wanted it for a long time. But then, some guy dressed in a Chinese costume
with a mask and riding a unicycle grabs the pig and says that he has captured
Tendo Akane. He tells Kasumi and Akane to tell Ranma that he will be waiting
at the Chinese festival. Then he runs away holding the pig.
At home Kasumi tells everyone that Akane (the pig) has been captured. Ranma
asks why he has to go, but his father beats him up and says that you have to
accept every challenge. At the festival, Akane and Ranma-chan meet Shampoo.
Then the guy in the mask, carrying the pig, comes up and reveals his true
identity. It was Moose. When Moose squeezes the pig, it makes a squeaking
sound, and Ranma-chan says, "stop it, Akane's crying." Then Akane hits Ranma.
Akane also hits Moose for saying that the pig was her.
In the main tent, Akane, Ranma-chan, and Shampoo watch the Chinese acrobatics.
Akane throws Ranma-chan into the middle, as they were asking for a volunteer
for the knife throwing show. A white duck with glasses, carrying knives
appears and throws the knives at Ranma-chan. Ranma-chan catches them all
with her teeth. Kunou Tatewaki was also there at the show and he tries to
save Ranma-chan.
It turns out that the duck was Moose. Ranma and Moose face off to fight
outside. Moose says that after he lost to Ranma, he returned to China and
fell into the spring that turns people into ducks. Moose brought back a lot
of the water from that spring and tries to dump it on Ranma. But Shampoo
comes and splashes water on Moose. Moose turns into a duck, and tries to
give flowers to Shampoo. But Shampoo slaps him away and says that she doesn't
want him. Moose as the duck, then attacks Ranma and chases him throughout the
festival, throwing knives and water balloons containing the spring water.
Finally Ranma throws darts and traps Moose.
At night, Akane is looking for Ranma and Shampoo. Moose catches her and runs
off with her. Kunou saw this and was going to save Akane, but Sasuke, also
trying to help, traps Kunou in a net.
Moose scatters a lot of flyers about his magic show, saying that a girl will
turn into a duck. There is a picture of Akane on that flyer. In the main
tent, a bound and gagged Akane is put into an empty tank. Above her is a
water faucet which has the spring water.
Ranma also sees the flyer and is running to save Akane.
