Storyline[]
Spy vs. Spy Segment 1: Black Spy infiltrates White Spy's submarine and opens a safe inside, but it turns out there is no safe at all, only a hole in the side of the submarine. Water fills the submarine and begins to sink, taking Black Spy along with it.
Spy vs. Spy Segment 2: Black Spy launches a torpedo at White Spy's boat. White Spy's boat splits in half, but the torpedo splits in half, too. White Spy screams in terror and is blown up.
Spy vs. Spy Segment 3: White Spy spots Black Spy going fishing and attaches a bomb to his fishing line from underwater, but Black Spy's fishing line is attached to the door of a shark cage. Black Spy reels in his line, opening the cage door. releasing the shark inside. The shark then attacks White Spy. Black Spy then cuts the fishing line attached to the bomb, dropping it into the water, leaving White Spy and the shark to get blown up.
Spy vs. Spy Segment 4: White Spy is in outer space, but he's not alone, because Black Spy has hitched a ride and disconnects White Spy's airline, thinking White Spy will run out of air. But instead, the ship itself runs out of air, spins out of control, and smashes into an asteroid, with Black Spy on board. White Spy connects the air supply to his suit and chuckles in victory.
Spy vs. Spy Segment 5: Black Spy's plan to claim the moon literally blows up right in his face when White Spy uses his rocket disguised as a missile to blow up Black Spy (and the part of the moon he is standing on). The moon then becomes a crescent moon that White Spy gives the victory chuckle on.
Spy vs. Spy Segment 6: Black Spy is able to successfully shoot a cannonball through a target. White Spy tries to one up him, but the cannonball ricochets off of the bouncy target and into White Spy's gut, leaving Black Spy the victory.
