Frustrated by Edge City's mismanagement, Stanley hopes he will teach Mayor Tilton a lesson by putting on the Mask. Instead, the Mask announces his candidacy against Mayor Tilton as the new Mayor of Edge City. Though Stanley naturally objects, he is then forced to make sure his alter ego wins the election when he discovers the real Mayor Tilton was captured and that Dr. Pretorius is masquerading as him so he can turn all of Edge City into subjects for toxic waste experiments.
