The first to meet them are Numbuhs 2 and 4, who are celebrating "Ditch school and go to the beach day", which Numbuh 4 states he made up. Numbuh 2 is captured and Numbuh 4 runs to the school to warn of the approach of the Spinach Armada, but is too late, as Vespinachio enters the school behind him and offers spinach to all the children. When Numbuh 1 and the other Sector V operatives attempt to fight back, they encounter a huge army of Vespinaccians outside and are captured. Wally however, is not captured because of his escape route malfunctioning and trapping him in a locker. He finds a Spinach monk passing by and grabs him to steal his robe and flee the school, but finds it is Numbuh 2 , who has been converted to the way of Spinach. Numbuh 4 is promptly captured, as Numbuh 2 walks away, chanting contently to himself. Numbuhs 1, 3, 4 and 5 are then seen held in a chamber, similar to the torture chambers of the Spanish Inquisition, in which various devices attempt to force them to eat Spinach. As they are tortured, the Spinach Inquisitors break into a musical number as they force the kids in various creative ways, including dunking Numbuh 1 in a vat of spinach and tying Numbuhs 3 and 5 to a board and force feeding them. Suddenly, Hoagie screams for the song to stop, and admits that he didn't realize the Spinach Inquisition were forcing people to eat the spinach--Hoagie then claims that if people honestly don't like the spinach, then they shouldn't have to eat it. Vespinaccio sees this as heresy and a duel between him and Hoagie begins, ending when Vespinaccio falls into his own vat of spinach. As he struggles, he proclaims that he himself and the rest of his men hate spinach as well. Upon being questioned by Hoagie why they eat it and if they hate it, Vespinaccio explains that they only eat it to please their King. Hoagie agrees to rescue them, but under one condition. Later, the Vespinaccians and the Kids Next Door sign a treaty agreeing that in return for saving them, the Vespinaccians will never force children in their country to eat spinach ever again. Instead, they would try in Canada. The king himself admits he doesn't like spinach, and only makes others eat it so he does not have to.
