'You had it all: fame, fortune, a 400-inch waist and now you want to blow up our city?'

A bus loaded with raccoons and dynamite is hurtling through space on a direct course for the city of Sucktropolis. As the Seriously Useless Crime Stoppers (SUCS) shake off their old identities and take on fabulously useless new powers, they are forced to confront their largest enemy yet: Sumo Granny. She's the size of eight adult polar bears, and there's revenge in her heart.
Will the SUCS be as useless as they were last time?
Will Sucktropolis survive this latest threat?
