to:
It has been one year since Claw had been imprisoned. He imprisoned, and Inspector Gadget is still the dedicated cyborg detective/protector of the city. Unfortunately, his central computer chip has been glitching lately, causing several malfunctions in the field which allowed some of his quarry to escape. This, combined with his overzealous attitude, has the mayor looking to replace him with G2, a fully-autonomous female-type Gadget robot which can do everything the Inspector can do, and more. And if the prospect of losing his job wasn't enough, Claw has escaped his imprisonment and it is intends to both get his revenge on Gadget and rob the Riverton Federal Reserve using a time-freezing device to rebuild his criminal empire. It's up to Gadget and G2 to stop him from freezing time him, and robbing the Riverton Federal Reserve.
