Randy's Secret Identity
The newest ninja is Randy Cunningham, a ninth-grade student. Now, Randy has a big job. He must protect Norrisville from evil plans. These plans come from the Sorcerer, his helper Hannibal McFist, and Hannibal's assistant Willem Viceroy. Randy uses his ninja skills to keep everyone safe.
