In the fourth season episode "Closely Watched Planes," Max and his partner Agent 99 are tasked with infiltrating KAOS and discovering their latest plan. The plot involves a remote-controlled airplane which will be used to smuggle a microfilm containing top secret information out of the country. Max and 99 must work to foil KAOS' plan before it's too late.

As the episode opens, Max and 99 are informed by their boss, the Chief, that KAOS has obtained the microfilm and is planning to use the plane to smuggle it out of the country. Max and 99 are assigned to go undercover within KAOS and stop the plot. They begin their mission by infiltrating a KAOS front company that specializes in toy airplanes.

As the episode progresses, Max and 99 find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations, including a run-in with KAOS' new deadly weapon, an anti-tank gun disguised as a toy soldier. The pair narrowly escapes the weapon's blast and continues on their mission.

Ultimately, Max and 99 discover that the remote-controlled plane carrying the microfilm is set to take off from a nearby airfield. They rush to the scene and attempt to stop the plane, but KAOS agents are waiting for them and a thrilling chase ensues.
