Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville loves its police force--a group of hard-working men and women doing their best to keep Townsville safe. Except for this guy. Officer Mike Brickowski, the worst cop on the force. He makes no effort to fight crime or help the citizens of Townsville. He'd rather let his fellow officers do all the work. He likes things easy. Enjoy your ride while it lasts, Officer Brickowski... Cause you're in for a rude awakening.
Narrator: Ha ha ha. Bad cop gone worse. Sorry, Officer Brickowski, no doughnuts in jail. So, once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls. And the fine, upstanding men and women of the Townsville Police Department.
