Commander Cruger holds a meeting with Squad B. Commander Cruger tells them that Squad A is now considered Missing In Action. Squad B volunteers to search for the Squad A Rangers, but Commander Cruger tells them that they are needed here. Commander Cruger wants them to find a bank robber. Sydney is surprised that there is no description of the bank robber or picture. Syd starts asking questions about the bank robber and makes it into a rhyme. Bridge tells her that it reminds him of his bath book. Commander Cruger calls Bridge forward and asks him if he really has a bath book. Bridge replies that he does and asks Commander Cruger if he has one. The alarms go off and the Rangers morph and go into action. The Rangers battle a monster. During the battle, Bridge is demorph. As the monster runs away, Bridge uses his ability to detect the monster's aura. .The Rangers return to headquarters, but now they have information on the monster. Unable to pronounce his origin, the Rangers name the monster T-Top. Bridge doesn't believe that T-Top is the monster responsible for the bank robberies, but the other Rangers are not convinced. The Rangers are sent to another bank robbery and they try to investigate for clues. A woman, Diane, asks them if they need a witness. Diane gives them a description of T-Top and claims that was the monster who robbed the bank. During the conversation, Bridge is busy using his magnifying glass on Diane and her dog. Embarrassed, Jack pulls Jack to his feet and tells him it's not nice to sniff the dog without permission. The Rangers return to headquarters where Jack tells Commander Cruger about the witness Diane. During the meeting, Bridge is reading a book. The others call Bridge's attention back to the meeting. Bridge tells them how the book he is reading has all this great art work on the cover, but the book is not good. Jack tells him that would be great if they were talking about the book, but they are not. Bridge tries to point out that what's on the outside is not always what's on the inside, but the others don't listen. Bridge asks Commander Cruger if he can continue his own investigation. Commander Cruger tells him he can and tries to recruit one of the Rangers to help Bridge, but none of them want to. Bridge volunteers himself and leaves. An alarms goes off, and the rest of the Rangers morph and battle T-Top once again.
The Rangers have a difficult time with T-Top. T-Top blows apart a building to distract the Rangers and then gets away. Meanwhile, Bridge continues his investigation in his unique way. At times, Bridge uses Boom's help in his investigation. The investigation leads Bridge to Diane's house where he sniffs the flowers until Diane appears. Bridge questions Diane about the various flowers. Diane decides to take her dog for a walk and Bridge joins her. Bridge tells her about balloon animals and tries to blow up a balloon. Bridge pretends that he is out of shape and asks Diane to blow up the balloon instead. Diane reluctantly does and hands the balloon back to Bridge. Bridge makes a balloon animal, but Diane is not impressed. Bridge returns to SPD headquarters and analyzes the air in the balloon. Kat walks in and Bridges asks Kat if she knows that humans breath in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide while plants do the opposite. Kat replies yes - second grade science. Jack is at the command center talking with the other Rangers - he does not have much faith in Bridge. Bridge walks in and tries to defend himself and the fact that T-Top is innocent. An alarm goes off and all the Rangers morphed and leave to battle no other than T-Top. The Rangers used their zord in the battle against T-Top. The Rangers have T-Top bound, but when they use the judgment scanner it reveals that T-Top is innocent. T-Top shrinks and the Rangers leave their zord. T-Top explains that he is a Tri-Ridonian Bounty Hunter after the a Fernovian thief. Diane appears on the scene and declares that T-Top is the alien she saw robbing the bank. Bridge walks over to a car, picks it up, and hurls it towards Diane. The other Rangers are stunned, but Diane reveals herself to be the Fernovian when she reverts to her natural form and slices the car in two. Bridge and the Fernovian battle with Bridge eventually arresting the Fernovian. After the arrest, Bridge and the rest of the Rangers demorph. Jack and the rest of the Rangers want to know how Bridge knew who the real thief was. Bridge starts explaining his investigation, walking as he talks. Bridge turns around and notices the rest of the Rangers have all left. At headquarters, Commander Cruger shows a hologram of Broodwing to Sky, Syd, and Z and explains to them who he is. Sky tells Commander Cruger it would be awful if Broodwing hooked up with Emperor Gruumm. Commander Cruger has a feeling that Broodwing already has. Jack finds Bridge standing on his head and joins him. Jack apologizes to Bridge and tells him he may not understand the way he thinks, but he has his respect.
