The day seems like any other in Townsville until the Powerpuff Girls discover an abandoned baby. With their ingrained desire to help the innocent, they take it upon themselves to care for the child until the parents can be found.

As the girls juggle their superhero responsibilities with the demands of looking after the baby, they quickly discover that babysitting is no small task—especially not for high-flying heroines used to battling giant monsters rather than changing diapers. The baby, while adorable, proves to be quite a handful, leading to a series of comedic events as each sister tries her own unique approach to childcare.

The situation escalates when the girls respond to a city emergency, with the baby in tow. Their heroic duties clash with the needs of the baby, and the girls must creatively solve the problem at hand.
