Detailed summary

Memorable quotes

Bubbles: Buttercup hurt Mojo's head, and I would have kissed his little boo boo, but then I remembered he was a bad monkey, so I kicked his face!

Blossom: All of a sudden, from nowhere, Mojo Dojo deployed these ninja thingies.
Buttercup: Ahem. Nun-chucks.

Narrator: Oh, Mayor. Looks like Mojo's stripped you of even more than your power. But the girls couldn't bear (bare) to tell you the naked truth. Ha ha ha ha. So once again, the day is saved, thanks to... The Powerpuff Girls! Mayor, you cheeky devil.
