Hail to the Chief — Bookem asleep on the job!

The episode starts off with Chief Bookem directing traffic. Gus, Gengu and two other Cappies watch him doing his job. Gus says that it must be pretty boring to direct traffic all day. Gengu asks what's so bad about directing traffic, and Gus responds saying that there isn't any. One of the Cappies said that even though it's "dough", Cappy Town needs a reliable cop like Chief Bookem. However, the Chief feels a little drowsy. Little did he know, King Dedede and Escargoon were charging at full speed and were set for a colision with Mayor Len Blustergas and his wife Hana. To their dismay, the group crashes causing both cars to be totaled. The mayor becomes enraged and starts to argue with Dedede and Escargoon. To settle the fight however, the mayor resorts to Bookem's decision. The citizens become shocked as they find out that Bookem is sleeping. He then wakes up and tells everyone why are they in the road because they'll cause an accident. Angered, Mayor Len Blustergas tells Bookem he's been sleeping on the job. The chief becomes anxious and King Dedede becomes enraged.

Back at the castle, Escargon is fixing up the tank while Dedede argues about how he could've been hurt in the accident and how police are support to protect people. Escragoon says that luckily, Dedede's stomach acts as a built in airbag, which earns him a whack on the head. King Dedede then decides to get rid of Bookem and the whole news spreads thorughout Cappy Town. Tuff then explains to Spikehead, Honey, Iroo, and Kirby that they can't fire the chief because he is too important and he was a commando in the Rough Ranger Squad! Tiff then says that that's not true because she's currently reading about Cappy history and that there has no war. However, Tuff doesn't believe a thing his sister says. He then forms a group with Spike, Iroo, Honey, and Kirby to prevent the chief from getting fired. Cappy citizens are all peeking inside Bookem's station to see him get fired. Discouraged, Bookem confronts his wife, Buttercup, encourages him bys saying all the good he's done for Cappy Town. She also says that they could take his badge, but not his spirit. Chief Bookem gets a call from the mayor's shepherd, who says that the sheep broke out of their pens somehow. Bookem casts a net, trapping all the sheep. After he has placed them back in their pens, he fixes the gate and the shepherd thanks him for his help. Tuff is glad that his plan works and he moves on to Step 2.

At Chef Kawasaki's restaurant, a Cappy citizen asks for a glass of water. Kawasaki goes to his sink and turns the faucet on, but nothing happens. He checks it and gets blasted by flames. Another Cappy asks about his hotcakes. Kawasaki puts his frying pan on the stovetop, but when he turns it on, a gush of water erupts. He gets smacked with the frying and falls to the floor. Later, Bookem inspects the pipes and realizes that someone had switched the gas and water lines. Meanwhile, Tuff, the Cappy kids, and Kirby vandalize Prof. Curio's museum by painting his artifacts and even him. After talking to Curio, Bookem gets a call from Tuggle whose store was cleaned out due to signs claiming all items free. Many more citizens call for Bookem's help and he quickly responds to their pleas. Tuff and the others, while hiding in a tree, gloat about their success. However, Tiff eavesdropped on their conversation and realized that it was them that have been causing the recemt crime spree. Just then, Dedede and Escargoon drive into the conversation eith Dedede claiming Bookem fired. The citizens revolt, but Bookem says that they could get rid of him, but not the police force. Kirby notices a beehive up in the tree and jumps to grab it. He loses his balance and drops the beehive onto Escargoon's head. Angered, the bees sting Escragoon, who plows the car into a tree. Tuff falls into the car along with Kirby. Escargoon, still shocked, speeds away from the bees. Chief Bookem, along with the Cappy kids and Tiff, hop into Mayor Len Blustergas' car and goes after Tuff and Kirby.

Hail to the Chief 2 — Bookem says to never give up!

Trying to escape the bees, Dedede demands Escargoon to drive faster. However, Escargoon complains that he can't see because of the bee stings. Dedede pushes Escargoon out of the car and takes the wheel instead. The king cannot control the car and keeps on steering it into obstacles. He drags into the water, where he falls off. The car, still holding Kirby and Tuff, hits a rock knocking Kirby out of it and leaving Tuff in it. Meawhile, Tiff tells the chief the story about how Tuff and the Cappy kids played tricks on other citizens just to let him keep his job. They manage to see Kirby and asks where Tuff is. Kirby points down the road to the right. Shocked, Cheif Bookem says that the road leads to the Booma Dooma Volcano which is past due eruption. The car holding Tuff crashes into a rock and sends Tuff falling into the volcano. The group finally arrives at the volcano, only to see Tuff stranded on a ledge inside the volcano. While Bookem gets some rope, Tiff tries to call the Warpstar. However, Meta Knight stops her, claiming to give the chief a chance to show his "Rough Ranger spirit."

As the group is about to pull the two put, the volcano spews magma everywhere. Unfortunately for the duo, the cinder burns the rope and snaps it. Tuff becomes scared, but Bookem keeps his cool and says that ropes are for wimps and a Rough Ranger never gives up. He proceeds to tie Tuff around his back and starts scaling the wall of the volcano. As onlookers awe, the chief keeps on climbing. Tuff confesses that he did all the crimes, but the chief also confesses that he isn't a Rough Ranger. Suddnely, the Chief's back goes out and he loses his grip and starts falling towards the magma. Tiff quickly calls the Warpstar at which Kirby proceeds to use.
