A National Inquisitor reporter named Iris arrives in Charterville to expose the true identities of the BeetleBorgs. Meanwhile, Horribelle assumes that the reporter and the kids are friends, and alerts Nukus who in turn orders Les Fortunes to create Torchmouth, a fire-breathing monster. The Hillhurst monsters scare Iris, who runs right into Torchmouth. The kids transform to rescue Iris, who is so grateful that she agrees to keep their true identities secret.
