This is a story of good over evil, justice over chaos. Everyone can identify with the poor members of Captain T’s gang—they just want to belong, have friends, become famous! However, they have grown accustomed to robbing and stealing from good people, and it seems nothing will change their twisted ways. Until one day they are stopped in their tracks. The power of goodness appears in the form of a little girl, a little red-haired girl! She boldly reminds the gang, and their dapper leader, that what they are doing is wrong and that they should be ashamed of themselves. “Don’t you want to be liked?” She asks. She suggests they change their ways by taking a bath, going on a diet, and even combing their hair! She then covers them with a purple liquid that cleans and smells pretty. The bubbly action profoundly changes the team. What happens next is the hope of every good citizen. A chance encounter that changes everyone for the better!
