Four "ninja turtles" known as the Foot Clan, battle criminals in New York City. Later they learn that Shredder is their real enemy. The "turtles" meet April O'Neal (Judith Hoag) fighting their first battle -- they use Ninjitsu, which is taught by their master Splinter. April helps them find Splinter, who is kidnapped later in the movie by the Foot Clan. Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, and Splinter later defeat Shredder by 'death by trash compactor.'
