Casey Jones was first introduced as a street wise vigilante where he confronted street thugs who were previous confronted by Raphael: one of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who was in disguise by wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora hat. Casey was shown to be too aggressive on the thugs which prompted Raph to put a stop to it, leading to a brief confrontation between ending with Casey hitting Raph with a Cricket Rack, and running as he insulted Raph by calling him a freak, which enrages Raph to chase him down, but wounded up losing him.
One day, when Casey was fixing his radio on his rooftop, he spotted Raph who on the rooftop of where channel 7 News reporter April O'Neil lives right across from where he lives, where Raph would be eventually ambushed by a ninja clan known as the Foot.
Casey comes to aide the other three Turtles (Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello), and April who stick by an unconscious Raphael's side when they were being outnumbered by the Foot. The place soon catches fire causing everyone to retreat, as Casey, April and the Turtles drove in a van enter to an old farmhouse where April use to live, to recover in the meantime.
Casey have a rocky start with April, after he insenitively tells April that her boss, Charles Pennington fires her, but would soon develop a mutual attraction for each other, while also bonding with Donatello.
Raphael soon regain conscious, and after having a mediation of the Turtles: master and father figure, Spinter: a mutated rat who is held captive by the Foot, the Turtles felt that it is time to return back to New York to settle the score with the Foot.
Upon returning, Casey foolishly thought that the Turtles lived in an actual apartment, only to find them going down to the sewers. Inside they encounter Charles's son: Danny unbeknown to them is secretly working for the Foot and was the one who informed the Foot where the Turtles were before the incident at the apartment.
With everyone decided to stay to spend the night, Casey insists on sleeping on the truck as he is shown to be claustrophobic. While sleeping inside the truck, he noticed Danny sneaking out of the sewers and followed him to a warehouse to where the Foot is hiding out. He grabbed on to one of the Foot and silently took him out to take his uniform to blend in.
As the Foot rally to settle the score with the Turtles after their leader the Shredder saw April's drawing of Leonardo inside Danny's pocket, Casey bumps into Danny who tells them that Splinter is going to get killed by Shredder's right hand man Tatsu.
Casey and Danny found a chained-up Splinter and used the keys to unlock the chain to escape not before being confronted by Tatsu and the other juvenile kids. Tatsu proved to be a match for Casey until Casey found a golf club knocked him out cold, which to the kids to let Casey and Danny leave with Splinter, after Splinter informed them that the Shredder shows no love and compassion for them even though they see themselves as a family.
They made it back, as they noticed the Turtles having the deal with the Shredder causing Splinter to vanish without anyone seeing him, as confronted with the Shredder who was revealed to be Oroku Saki, the man who killed Splinter's master Hamto Yoshi and his wife Tang Shen.
As Shredder was gonna make the final blow to Splinter, Splinter dodged it by using one of Michelanglo's nunchucks, and just when Saki was gonna used one of his weapons against Splinter, Splinter grabbed it causing Saki to plumment to a garbage truck in which Casey use to crush him with.
With the Shredder defeated, and the Foot being apprehend by the police, April is back once again in channel 7, and she and Casey make out, as the Turtles and Splinter watch in delight.
