Summary:
In the bustling cartoon world of Chaville, Joey Jr. and his gang of young, mischievous cockroaches accidentally cause a massive mess in Animville's central plaza during one of their wacky science experiments gone wrong. The chaos triggers the attention of The Cockroach Cop, the no-nonsense, donut-loving enforcer of bug law.

Screenplay (Excerpt)
INT. ANIMVILLE - CENTRAL PLAZA - DAY
The camera pans across the bustling bug city — cockroaches buzz by in hot dog-shaped cars, flower petals flutter as buses, and soda cans are converted into cafés. The scene zooms into a large gathering of cockroach children, led by JOEY JR., JOLIE, JENA, and LUCAS.
JOEY JR.
(grinning wide)
Alright team — Operation Cola Volcano is a go!
CHOWDER
(patting his tummy)
I hope this experiment ends in snacks...
LUCAS
(determined)
If my calculations are correct, the soda mentos sparkles = total awesomeness!
Jolie presses a red button. A massive fizzing eruption of cola, glitter, and foam bursts into the sky, coating half of Animville in sticky rainbow sludge.
JENA
(delighted)
That. Was. So. Cool!
Suddenly, a police whistle blares. The COCKROACH COP arrives on a giant ladybug-pulled chariot, lights flashing.
COCKROACH COP
(yelling, sternly)
FREEZE! You tiny terrors are in violation of Code 567-B: Catastrophic Cola Chaos!
JOEY JR.
(eyes widening)
Scatter!
Cue a wild, chaotic chase montage:
— Joey Jr. jumps onto a toy car and speeds off.
— Jolie rides a paper airplane.
— Lucas tries to outwit the cop with gadgets.
— Jena distracts him with bubblegum bombs.
Meanwhile, THE COCKROACH COP is hot on their tails, swinging from dental floss lines, leaping over moldy pizza slices, and knocking over a street performer — THE MIME ROACH — who silently glares as he flails mid-air.
INT. OGGY'S BACKYARD - NIGHT
The kids regroup, panting and covered in slime.
LUCAS
We need to fix this mess… before my mom finds out and grounds me until molting season.
JOEY JR.
(grinning)
Let's do it. But we gotta beat the Cop at his own game first.
JOLIE
(grabbing a mop)
Let's go roach-mode!
Cue training montage with Joey Jr. and crew building cleaning gadgets, sneaking around the city at night, and slowly cleaning up the mess while dodging the Cockroach Cop.
INT. CENTRAL PLAZA - MORNING
The plaza is sparkling clean. The Cockroach Cop approaches, confused.
COCKROACH COP
(sniffing)
...Lemon-scented justice?
JOEY JR.
(standing tall with a mop)
We cleaned it all. Case closed?
COCKROACH COP
(grumbles, then smiles)
You're lucky you cleaned it up… but next time, I expect a permit.
CHOWDER
(relieved)
Can we get snacks now?
Everyone laughs as the screen fades to black.
Would you like me to turn this into a full script or storyboard episode?
