From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bueno Nacho is the 6th episode broadcast (but 1st produced) of the TV series Kim Possible. Bueno Nacho is also the name of a restaurant franchise in the show, which lampoons Taco Bell. The episode is notable in that it is the first to introduce recurring background character Ned, and recurring fictional fast-food item the "Naco".

[edit] Plot Synopsis

World-saving teen hero Kim Possible wants to buy a cool new jacket from the clothing store Club Banana. But she's running short on cash and is forced to get a job at her favorite place to hang out, the Mexican restaurant "Bueno Nacho." Joining her on her missions is her best friend and sidekick, Ron Stoppable. This time around, Dr. Drakken and his sidekick Shego are trying to penetrate the earth's crust to harvest magma, using as a base the interior of a giant cheese wheel in the state of Wisconsin.

Ron, meanwhile, reluctantly joins Kim in her job, and realizes that he has a niche at Bueno Nacho. While Kim is struggling he thrives and is made assistant manager, rendering her his employee. When Kim wants to leave to go fight Drakken, Ron explains that her shift isn't over, which prevents her from leaving. When she quits her job, Ron refuses to go with Kim, and she leaves alone.

Upon arriving at the giant cheese wheel without her sidekick, Kim is overpowered and captured by Shego and Drakken's minions. Meanwhile in Middleton, Ron is bossing around Ned, the former assistant manager, when he learns that Kim is in trouble. He immediately leaves to save her but is also captured. Drakken is just about to strike magma when Ron's naked mole rat, Rufus, wakes up. He frees Kim and Ron, allowing the disabling of the "magmachine", a massive spheroid device with a giant cannon, most likely a spoof of the Death Star in Star Wars.

It's not over yet, though. Drakken had stolen a laser drill to reach the magma, and the magmachine was supposed to handle the magma, ejecting it into the sky similar to a volcanic eruption. Ron sneaks into the laser drill's control room and outlines the situation: "Rufus, this is a precision implement, incredibly complex... better mess with everything.", spinning the beam all around and melting the cheese in the cheese wheel. Kim and Ron narrowly escape while Drakken's plan is foiled. Kim returns home still without money, but Ron, who still has his paycheck, buys her the jacket she wanted. Nevertheless, when Ned walks up wearing the same jacket, Kim and Ron agree to exchange it.
