Storyline

Vacationing in Mexico City with the other Planeteers, Wheeler is put off by the many lower-classmen he sees. But when an earthquake strikes, they go north to Santa Teresa to rescue victims - and during an aftershock, Wheeler is knocked on the head by stone and, found and rescued by a couple moving to the city, awakens to find that he has amnesia. He hears Ma-Ti calling to him in his head but doesn't know his voice, so is suspected to be mad and flees the hospital he is left at. He falls in with Teresa, a young woman who attempted to be his guide earlier, and learns first-hand what it means to be poor. He has to deal with hunger, attacks from gang-members, and the unkindness of others who don't help them. But when Teresa is caught in a fire, the other Planeteers find it but know that they cannot extinguish it without Captain Planet...and Wheeler must recover in order to remember his friends so he can join them in summoning him and save Teresa.
