Darkwing Duck season 1 episode 3, Night of the Living Spud, begins with Darkwing and Launchpad patrolling the city streets when they stumble upon a hotdog stand that's been completely destroyed. They find a clue in the form of a half-eaten potato and decide to investigate further.
Meanwhile, at a nearby potato chip factory, a shipment of flawed potatoes have been brought in to be processed. However, due to a lightning storm, the potatoes become infused with electrical energy and begin to come to life, turning into zombie-like creatures that head towards the city.
Back at Darkwing Tower, Darkwing and Launchpad are doing research on the potato clue they found. They soon realize that the potato's DNA has been altered and that it's connected to the flawed potatoes at the factory. Darkwing decides to investigate the factory, leaving Launchpad behind to work on an antidote to the infected potatoes.
At the factory, Darkwing confronts the main villain behind the operation, a scientist called Professor Moliarty. Moliarty reveals that he intentionally created these potato creatures to do his bidding and commands them to attack Darkwing.
Meanwhile, Launchpad has successfully created an antidote to the infected potatoes and decides to join Darkwing at the factory. Together, they fight off the potato creatures and ultimately defeat Professor Moliarty.
The episode ends with Darkwing and Launchpad receiving a call from the Mayor, congratulating them on their heroic efforts in saving the city.
