Summary[]
Drake, Launchpad and Gosalyn are watching a news program about crime fighters and they put Gizmoduck at the top of the list and Darkwing at the bottom. Gosalyn tells Drake that he needs an image change and they start to work on it. Darkwing changes everything so that people will like him and it begins to work. Negaduck sees what is happening and devises a way to use this to his advantage. As Darkwing gives the police a two week vacation and the mayor gives him the key to the city, it is all on Darkwing to serve and protect the city with help from Launchpad, Gosalyn, and Honker. They are able to round up all the criminals in the city and put them in jail. As Darkwing is doing a news conference about it, Negaduck disguises himself as several different reporters and starts to tell people that Darkwing has only been causing mischief. The citizens turn on Darkwing and force him to go into hiding and Negaduck steals the key to the cells as Darkwing runs off. Negaduck releases all the prisoners and tells them to rob the city blind and bring the loot to him.

Darkwing shows up and they have a brief fight and Negaduck gets locked in a cell by Darkwing the criminals beat up NegaDuck to party time and Darkwing redeems himself to everyone.
