Synopsis

In their underground lair deep beneath the city streets, in the middle of an intense training session, the Turtles and Master Splinter are suddenly attacked by a horde of Mouser robots! These mechanical menaces chomp through everything: stone, steel... even Turtles! In the course of the battle, the Mousers cause the roof of the Turtles sewer-lair to cave in, separating our heroes from their beloved Master. Now the Turtles must abandon their home of fifteen years and find their missing Master. But on their way they have to deal with collapsed sewer tunnels, the Purple Dragon street gang, and a small army of mysterious, highly trained Ninja.
