![]() ( Alternate between shots of several cereal boxes being filled on a conveyor belt and the thief running across the factory, still yelling. Pull back quickly to behind the thief, revealing the label on this hopper-“LUCKY CAPTAIN RABBIT KING NUGGETS.” He yells and runs toward it to save his prize.) The camera follows it as it sails through the air in slow motion and lands in a hopper full of cereal. He produces the jewel from behind his back, kisses it, and begins to walk away. ( As he says this, zoom in on the thief in steps, ending with a close-up of him. Narrator: Have the Powerpuff Girls actually failed to catch a thief? Is this crook that cunning, that agile? Is this man a true master of thievery? Scientists continue to walk around, paying no attention to the new member standing still in the middle of the room.) Overhead view of the factory floor, with him standing in the middle of the shot. ( Back to the thief as the girls, having made it clear they won't give up on catching him and putting him behind bars, take off through the hole, having given up the pursuit, for now. ![]() The camera pans to each side as he looks back out of the corners of his eyes, praying the girls don't see him. Cut to the broken skylight as the girls fly in to investigate, then to a close-up of the thief. ![]() He pulls his cap off and hides it, trying to blend in now that he's already wearing the appropriate work attire. The thief falls in and pops into view, now similarly attired. ( Inside, we see machinery of various sorts and technicians in white coats walking everywhere. Camera shifts to behind the girls, and after a long moment, the thief drops out of sight in a crash of glass.) Cut to his feet, which are on a skylight that is giving way from his weight on it, unable to handle the stress. He laughs nervously, but is interrupted by a crackling noise. Again he stops short when he finds himself face to face with the girls again, who have managed to either keep up with him, or were just waiting for him as soon as he fled from them, and still looking very displeased with him over thinking he could escape them that easily. ( Close-up of the thief as he rolls away slowly, looking pleased with himself following his little incredible escape, thinking he lost the girls due to it. It has a sign that says “GENERALLY FOOD CEREAL INC.” and bears a logo similar to that of General Mills.) Quick shot of the building he is standing on. He stops and looks around-no pursuers in sight-and raises his arms in triumph. He emerges from a doorway and continues rolling until he gets to the edge, where he jumps across to the next rooftop. Inside, the organist plays skating music as the thief goes around and around, trying to keep his balance and blend in with the other skaters. ( The boat hits some rocks and he is thrown over the bow, flying into a roller rink. A fisherman hooks something and begins to reel it in, but is promptly knocked out of his boat by the thief, who climbs in and speeds off.) When it reaches a bridge, he jumps into the river and starts swimming. He bounces off the roof and lands on a passing train. He is thrown from the car in the process, tumbling down a rocky slope. We then see him skid out and crash through the guardrail on a curve overlooking a cliff. Side view of the thief, now in the driver’s seat after getting rid of the original driver, and gunning it into a tunnel. The car speeds away, and something is flung onto the sidewalk-the driver. ( He immediately bolts from them and runs into the street to try and escape as fast as he can and is quickly hit by a passing car. While the police may have been unable to find the thief as soon as they were alerted by the alarm the moment the theft occurred, the girls sure have, and quick too.) ( The girls are floating in front of him, looking quite displeased with the situation. Narrator: But it’s not exactly the best place for crooks either. He runs out once he's sure the coast is clear, but stops short after a few steps.) ( Ducking into an alley, the thief-a short, squat fellow in a knit cap-holds up a large jewel and looks at it greedily while police cars speed past on the street, screaming their sirens and flashing their lights, already on the search for him as soon as the alarm rang in hopes of catching him before he got too far from the scene of the crime and could escape their grasp. ( As if on cue with the Narrator's remark, the front window smashes out, and a figure jumps through to the sidewalk. Narrator: The city of Townsville! ( Camera tilts down toward a jewelry shop.) Not exactly the best place for a jewelry store. ( Opening shot: the city skyline at night.) Directed by Randy Myers & Craig McCracken
