The world rejoiced as the Muppets embarked on a global tour, their infectious energy promising sold-out shows from Berlin to Moscow. But behind the curtain of sequined costumes and catchy tunes, a sinister plot was hatching. Dominic Badguy, a supposed tour manager with a suspiciously slick demeanor, was orchestrating a series of jewel heists, all while manipulating the Muppets as the perfect cover. As Kermit the Frog, ever the optimist, tried to wrangle his chaotic crew, including the perpetually lovestruck Miss Piggy and the explosively unpredictable Animal, a startling discovery threatened to derail everything: an uncanny Kermit look-alike, the notorious criminal Constantine, had swapped places with the real deal! Now, caught in a web of international intrigue, with Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon hot on their trail, the Muppets must unravel Badguy’s scheme and rescue their beloved leader before it’s curtains for them all.

Storyline
Fresh off their successful reunion, the Muppets embark on a world tour orchestrated by the charismatic Dominic Badguy, who secretly masterminds a series of jewel heists. Unbeknownst to the troupe, Kermit the Frog is replaced by Constantine, a notorious criminal and Kermit’s doppelganger, right under their noses. While Constantine and Dominic use the Muppets’ performances as cover for their crimes, the real Kermit finds himself wrongly imprisoned in a Siberian gulag, overseen by the stern but secretly sentimental Nadya. As Miss Piggy dreams of a European honeymoon with her beloved Kermit, Fozzie Bear begins to suspect that something is amiss with Kermit’s increasingly uncharacteristic behavior. Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon teams up with Sam Eagle to unravel the mystery, traveling across Europe to track down the criminal duo and clear Kermit’s name. The Muppets, oblivious to the true nature of their tour, continue to perform to enthusiastic crowds, unwittingly aiding Constantine’s grand scheme to steal the Crown Jewels of London. In a climactic showdown, the Muppets, with the help of Kermit’s daring escape from the gulag and the combined forces of Interpol and the CIA, expose Constantine and Dominic, saving the Crown Jewels and proving that even the most dastardly criminals are no match for the power of friendship, music, and a whole lot of mayhem.
