In the series premiere, a farmers cows are getting attacked in a nearby cooling pond and emerge with missing udders; the culprits: snapping turtles. Ernie is happy to jump in but the pond is overflowing with manure.

The turtle man meets his match against his bare hand tactics- a skunk. Hiding under layers upon layers of clothes is his only defense.

When a local radio host challenges Turtleman to venture deep into the haunted woods of Kentucky and evict a school of venomous reptiles and rabid rodents, he is sent on a wild adventure to protect his Blue Grass name and legend.

Turtleman receives news that one of his top rescue ponds is scheduled to be bulldozed in a matter of hours. But this isn't just any rescue pond. Nicknamed "Alcatraz," it's where he has released the 12 most ferocious snapping turtles he's ever encountered.

Turtleman spots a vicious raccoon at an old trading post and must remove the creature without damaging the historic structure. It's man vs. beast and whoever makes the first mistake will decide the future of one of the last standing stores of its kind.
