Synopsis[]

Plot[]
The episode begins with the girls acting for a public service announcement about the value of being polite in public sponsored by the mayor of Townsville, shortly afterward the mayor informs them that he wants them to do some more promotional work to aide his flagging rating, this leads to the professor washing their clothes so that they can look spotless in public. The professor also experiments with the clothes to determine their properties, even going so far as to try on Bubbles's outfit, presumably to demonstrate flexibility or something, upon seeing him in the dress Ken thinks he is Bubbles which foreshadow events later in the episode. The Rowdyruff Boys, brick specifically, sees an opportunity to cause mischief upon seeing the clothes drying outside the Powerpuff home, shortly thereafter the boys steal the clothes and after a brief confrontation with the Powerpuff girls manage to steal the girls' weapons as well.
Lacking their power-granting clothing the Powerpuff Girls briefly co-miserable before the professor reveals that he has created some auxiliary super suits for just such a scenario. This is shortly followed by a montage of the Rowdyruff Boys being rude and crude around the city reminiscent of the PSA the Powerpuff girls performed at the beginning of the episode. The mayor of Townsville then proceeds to drive the Rowdyruff Boys to his promotional event mistaking them for the girls. Once there the boys proceeded to once again set horrible examples of good behavior and repeatedly embarrass the mayor, the girls make repeated attempts to expose the boys, but all their pleas fall on deaf ears and their schemes are foiled in happenstance.
When asked to demonstrate their power moves the Rowdyruff released a massive fart enraging the girls leading to a brief fight above the city, in which the girls have the upper hand until they accidentally activate their suits emergency escape mechanisms landing them on some building roof, Bubbles then mentions how she thinks the boys look good in the stolen clothes leading Blossom and Buttercup to demoralize the boys called a monster!! The Girls was shocked to discover to the two-faced bounty hunter he'd partnered with had been working for someone evil, enough that they removed the clothing, hand over clothing to Vilgax and being hit by belittling their masculinity, similar to what was seen in the ending of The Boys Are Back In Town's ending.
The episode concludes with a notice that the mayor forbids any fart-based attacks in the future and the girls run off screaming in fear.
