Darkwing Duck season 2 episode 13 is titled The Merchant of Menace. In this episode, Darkwing and Launchpad are investigating a rash of robberies in St. Canard when they come across a mysterious villain named Tuskernini. Tuskernini is a walrus who has opened up a store that sells various weapons, gadgets, and devices that the criminal underworld is eager to get their hands on.
However, Tuskernini's merchandise is not all that it seems. Darkwing and Launchpad find out that Tuskernini has been selling merchandise that can be dangerous or malfunction under certain conditions, which makes it a danger to both the buyer and the general public. Tuskernini is also manufacturing illegal weapons in his secret factory, which is hidden deep inside his store. He has hired some goons to protect the factory and his real identity, which he fears will compromise his sale.
Darkwing decides to go undercover as a buyer and get a closer look at Tuskernini's operations. But even with Launchpad's help, he finds it difficult to not only gain access to the factory but also the right kind of merchandise that would help him uncover Tuskernini's true intentions.
Meanwhile, Gosalyn and Honker are eagerly awaiting their chance to play Darkwing Duck. They both get a little bored with their hero's secretive ways and come up with a plan to get in contact with him, which makes things even more difficult for Darkwing and Launchpad.
As the situation gets more complex, Tuskernini's goons catch Darkwing, and the seasoned hero finds himself in an unfamiliar position of captivity. But as luck would have it, Gosalyn and Honker arrive at the scene and are able to save Darkwing from his predicament.
Together, the four of them work to uncover the true identity of Tuskernini and reveal his true intentions to the people of St. Canard before it's too late. As they do, they find out that Tuskernini has some unexpected past, which make his actions more justified and less mercenary.
Darkwing Duck season 2 episode 13 is an engaging and action-packed adventure that highlights the importance of trust and honesty. It shows that sometimes the line between good and evil can be blurred and that everyone has their own motivations and reasons for doing what they do. It's also a great lesson in teamwork, as Darkwing, Launchpad, Gosalyn, and Honker must all work together to overcome the odds and save the day.
