Together, they can summon Captain Planet, a superhero who has the power of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart. Season 2, episode 19 is titled "Losing Game."
The episode begins with the Planeteers attending a basketball game in Hope Island, their home base. Among the spectators, they notice Señor Souza, the developer who is notorious for his ecologically harmful projects. The Planeteers decide to question him about his plans for Hope Island, but he brushes them off and leaves. They then realize that he has plans to build a large hotel on the island, which will undoubtedly harm the local environment.
Meanwhile, Dr. Blight, the notorious villainess, has teamed up with Sly Sludge, a greedy businessman, to create a new super-polluting substance. They plan to make a profit by selling the substance to anyone who wants to pollute the environment. They hope to make millions and become the richest people in the world.
Captain Planet and the Planeteers track down Dr. Blight and Sly Sludge to stop them before it's too late. In the process, they get into a fierce battle with the two villains and their minions, who are armed with high-tech gadgets. However, Captain Planet and the Planeteers manage to triumph over the bad guys and destroy their pollution-producing device.
After the defeat of their plan, Dr. Blight and Sly Sludge come up with a new, cunning attack. They know that the Planeteers will never let them get away with their ecological destruction, and so they come up with a plan to discredit them by setting them up for a crime they did not commit.
The pair concoct a scheme to blame the Planeteers for the theft of priceless artifacts from a museum. They spread rumors around the city that the Planeteers are thieves and that they have stolen the artifacts. The public becomes convinced that the Planeteers are no longer interested in protecting the environment and are instead focused on stealing.
The Planeteers are dismayed to discover that nobody trusts them anymore, and they are shunned by their friends and even their families. They know that they are innocent, but they have no idea how to prove it. They become desperate and turn to Captain Planet for help.
Captain Planet decides to launch his own investigation into the theft of the artifacts. He and the Planeteers gather evidence to prove their innocence. They discover that the theft was actually perpetrated by Dr. Blight and Sly Sludge, who wanted to frame the Planeteers.
Finally, thanks to the evidence they gathered, the Planeteers are able to clear their names. The public realizes that they were unfairly accused, and they are welcomed back into society with open arms.
In the end, the Planeteers are happy to have saved both the environment and their reputation. As they leave the stadium, they wonder what challenges they will face in the future, but they know that as long as they work together and have Captain Planet on their side, they will be able to overcome any obstacle.
