Goku and his friends set their sights on Mt. Frypan, but after Bulma accidentally drops her capsules into a river, they find themselves trekking across a desert on foot. Weary from the heat, Bulma takes a break. Suddenly, desert bandit Yamcha shows up, attempting to snatch Oolong’s capsules. Goku steps in to confront Yamcha, but his empty stomach leaves him powerless. Just when things look dire, Bulma stirs awake, causing Yamcha to flee in panic, unable to handle the presence of women, leaving behind a few snide comments.
