"Operation: T.R.I.C.K.Y." (short for "Trivial Rival Instigates Candy Krazy Yearning") is the Halloween episode of the Cartoon Network original series Codename: Kids Next Door, produced as the first segment in the eleventh episode of the show's third season.

Synopsis[]

It’s Halloween and all the members of Kids Next Door Sector V have dressed up in their costumes... except for Numbuh 4. Numbuh 2 tells him he should come trick-or-treating with them, but Numbuh 4 scoffs at the idea of dressing in costumes and begging for candy. The rest of Sector V then challenges him to a bet to see if he can get more candy than the rest of them tonight.

Soon, Numbuh 4, whose "costume" is just a cardboard sign around his neck saying "gimee", approaches the first house, whose occupants, Mo and Cheryl, give him a single piece of butterscotch. After celebrating his rather minor candy earning, Numbuh 4 moves onto the next house. Unfortunately, he is greeted by Captain Stickybeard and his candy goons, who steal his bag and ride off in their ship, Sweet Revenge (the house was just a facade). Numbuh 4 attempts to chase the ship but isn't fast enough. His teammates then pass by with full bags of candy, and he assures them that he's "just getting started."

On the ship, Captain Stickybeard and his crew celebrate a job well-done, while devising a plan to steal candy from more kids tonight. One pirate, Dumb John Silver, however, doesn't seem to realize he's supposed to be evil, and Stickybeard and the rest of the pirates make fun of him for being soft and emotional. Stickybeard then looks at Numbuh 4's bag and is disappointed that it only contains one piece of candy, but nevertheless, he has Chewy and Gooeystore it with the rest of the candy. Parking Sweet Revenge at a cul-de-sac house, the pirates then notice a kid in a ghost costume; unbeknownst to them, Numbuh 4 is hiding in the "kid's" bag. The pirates take the bag and toss it with the rest of the stolen candy. Numbuh 4 emerges and is dismayed to see that his bag of candy is lost in the mountainous heap of other candy, but he manages to find it. Seconds after he escapes out the back of the ship, however, he realizes that he could've taken the candy in the ship so he could win the bet.

At the next house, the pirates notice a kid in a pirate costume (again, it's a disguised Numbuh 4) carrying what appears to be a big bag of candy (which is actually filled with bricks). The pirates rush out and jump onto the big bag, allowing Numbuh 4 to run to the top of the ship. He comes upon Dumb John Silver, who is so distraught from the other pirates teasing him that he decides to quit. Stickybeard and company, having a hard time dragging the heavy bag onto their ship, soon discover it's actually filled with bricks, but just as they're realizing they've been tricked, Numbuh 4 sails the ship towards Sector V's treehouse, leaving most of the pirates behind. Chewy and Gooey, however, are still on the ship, and proceed to fight Numbuh 4 over control of the steering wheel. Just as Chewy and Gooey gain the upper hand, they both notice the ship veering off a giant cliff and abandon ship right before it soars into the night sky.

Later, back at the treehouse, the rest of Sector V are happily bragging about how much candy they got, though Numbuh 3 hopes that Numbuh 4 didn't do too bad. The episode then ends with a triumphant Numbuh 4 crashing through the treehouse with his shipload of candy, officially winning the bet.
