Plot[]
The episode begins with Villagers #19, #20, and #21 harmonizing the intro. The anchorman, Villager No. 4, announces the head story: A "rogue citizen" was caught committing a crime. He then turns to reporter Villager No. 9. Villager #9 explains that the event took place earlier that day and that they have footage of it from a camera being held by a villager mounted on the roof of a small house. Villager #9 explains that Villager No. 14 was caught littering, and was chased by the police. The crime resulted in a chase which was caught on film by a local traffic helicopter. They manage to film the chase as several other police villagers join the chase. One of the pilots says out of the blue, "Are you seeing this?", to which one of the villagers making the helicopter says, "No. I'm a helicopter". The police tell Villager #14 to stop running, but he refuses, causing the police to stop chasing Villager #14, saying, “Aw, he said no”. Villager #14 then crosses a "random pressure plate" that activates a missile launch. The helicopter announces the presence of the missile and deploys several flares. The missile ends up going off, disrupting the flight pattern of the helicopter, which falls and crashes into the ground, ending the camera's film. Villager #9 announces that shortly after the incident, the police set down stingers, and ended up stopping Villager #14. He was taken to court and sentenced to the Pit Of Death, which turns into a 300 parody, as a villager kicks Villager #14 into the pit. In a twist ending, it turns out that the pit is only about a few feet deep. Villager #14 even says the pit isn't very effective. The short ends with Villager #9 and Villager #4 closing the video, as the trio starts harmonizing.
