The episode begins with the Turtles preparing for their evening patrol, only to be interrupted by April's news report about the return of a group of superheroes from the 80s called the Justice Force. The Turtles are excited to meet these legendary heroes and decide to pay them a visit at their headquarters.

Once there, they meet the original members of the Justice Force: Captain Dash Coolstar, Thunderbolt Fist, Turbo Girl, and Jagwar. The Turtles are amazed by their powers and find themselves in awe of their heroics from their comic book days. However, they soon realize that the Justice Force's glory days are in the past, and they have fallen on hard times, with their current base of operations being an abandoned warehouse.

As the Turtles get to know the members of the Justice Force, they learn that they lost their funding due to lack of media coverage, which left them unable to maintain their superhero status. Feeling sympathetic, the Turtles decide to help the Justice Force by using their own media connections to get them more coverage and restore their reputation.

As the Turtles work hard to promote the Justice Force, their efforts are met with success.

The Turtles confront the Justice Force, but they refuse to listen and believe that Mr. X has their best interests in mind.

Despite their differences, the Turtles and the Justice Force team up to take down Mr. X and his henchmen. The battle is intense, but with the help of the Turtles, the Justice Force is able to reclaim their stolen energy source and put an end to Mr. X's nefarious plot.

In the end, the Justice Force thanks the Turtles for their help, and the two groups bid each other farewell. The Turtles return to their lair, feeling proud that they were able to help their heroes in their time of need.

Overall, "Return of the Justice Force" is an entertaining episode that showcases the Turtles' team spirit and willingness to help those in need.
