When this episode begins Bulma is excited about getting the final Dragonball.  Meanwhile back at emperor Pilaf's place, Mai gets a dragonball detector ready and realizes that all the other 6 dragonballs are heading right for them.  Now we see Bulma and Oolong arguing about the wish, only to get their car shot and blown down by Shao.  Shao then steals 5 of the dragonballs (Goku has the other one) and leaves, Goku tries to chase him but only finds his machine and breaks it.  When he gets back he tells Bulma he still has 1 dragonball so they still have a chance, but since their car was blown up they have nowhere to go, untill Yamcha (who was watching) showed up and offered his car.  After this they head out to where the dragonballs are.  Once they get close they see a big mansion, after getting in they walk through a long dark hallway with many traps, but they manage to get through them, until they reach a dead end only to have a wall close them in behind them, leaving them trapped...Now emperor Pilaf is about to steal the dragonball from Goku.
