On the streets, Simpleman takes the Kids outside for a stroll, and that's when they spot Andre by his ice cream cart.

Recycling Man: Everything into the trash, much simpler.

Ella: Simpleman! I want a Chocolate Pistachio cone! *Simpleman looks at Ella as Ella points to André the ice cream maker. *

Etta: And I want caramel, hazelnut, and cherry!

André: Oh, sorry, children, it's just vanilla now. Having only one flavor is much more simple!

Simpleman: Now that's much better.

Ella: I liked it better when everything was less simple. *When out of nowhere, a pizza box falls right in front of them they all gasp and look up to find more pizza boxes falling on them. Simpleman protects the children by staking the pizza boxes while they scream. Simpleman throws the pizza boxes back at the delivery man. *

Simpleman: Hey! What's going on? *A pizza box falls on Simpleman's head. *

Timmy: It's raining pizza!

Pizza Delivery guy: Veggie pizza for everyone! Only one choice of topping, it's much simpler!

Simpleman: Meh, that's true!

Manon: Seems kind of dangerous when things are simple. Don't you think?

Chris: Ladybug and Cat Noir will be here soon. Don't worry. *Then, Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny appeared facing Simpleman and the kids. *

Ladybug: HEY!! SHADOW MOTH, WE'RE HERE!

Cat Noir: Come and fight us!

Simpleman: You see that, kids? Simplified heroes are easily found Miraculous. Come on! Let's simply pick them up!

Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Ha-ha! And I will stay hidden! That way I will win easily!

Ladybug: Hey, Shadow Moth!!

Cat Noir: Yoohoo!!

Eagle: Ugh, where is that sorry excuse of a villain?

Simpleman: Ladybug! Cat Noir! Eagle! Uncanny! *They both look at Simpleman and jump. * Give me your Miraculous!

Ella and Etta: We're going to see the Lucky Charm for real! This is better than watching the movie!

Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny: No!

Simpleman: (pause) Yes!

Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny: No!

Simpleman: YES! *Ladybug attempts to fight with Simpleman but fails. * Ha-ha-ha! Cat Noir then attempts to fight with Simpleman. *

Manon: There's usually more action.

Chris: What if the bad guy wins?

Manon: It'll be okay, Chris. Superheroes always win! *Ladybug aims her Yo-yo and Eagle aims her bullroarer at Simpleman. *

Ladybug: Fighting is much more simple!

Cat Noir: When nothing's complicated anymore! *He then tickles Simpleman. *

Simpleman: I haven't simplified you enough! *He swings his weapon to get rid of Cat Noir, Cat Noir, and Ladybug both fall, Eagle and Uncanny look back at them and straight ahead at Simpleman. * Simplification! *He uses his powers to simplify Paris. *

Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy: NO!

Nadja: I'm Na-Na! Cla-Cla is no longer here! Paris is all broken! Bug-Bug, Meow-Meow, screech-screech, and bee-boo, bee-boo, help!

Parisian 1: Vroom-vroom is too complicated! *People start walking out of their cars. *

Parisian 2: I walk home with my feet now! *Officer Roger blows his whistle and makes all civilians go inside his car to get arrested. *

Officer Rogers: Jail, jail, jail, jail!

Parisian 3: What for?

Officer Rogers: Hm... uh, me upset. Jail.

Manon: Quick Ladybug! Use your Lucky Charm to fight the villain!

Ladybug: Lucky Charm? *She summons her Lucky Charm and gets a ball. * Wow! Cool! Hey Simpleman, take this! *She throws the ball, but it bounces and hits Ladybug instead. The ball rolls under a car and Simpleman laughs. *

Ladybug: Oww! Boo-boo, Lucky Charm! *Cat Noir makes his stick taller but ends up falling. The kids slap their faces with disappointment. *

Timmy: This isn't working at all.

Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Candy! Simpleman! Candy for Miraculous! Everyone loves candy!

Simpleman: Now that's a plan simple, efficient, and easy to understand! *He looks around for candy and finds one place while Ladybug gets the ball. * Ladybug, Cat Noir? Birdie and robot heroes? Let's stop fighting and make peace. Give me your miraculous and in exchange I'll give you some candy.

Ladybug: Candy, I love candy!

Cat Noir: Everyone loves candy!

Eagle: Who doesn't?

Uncanny: No, don't give in to his command. It doesn't make any sense at all. *They run to Simpleman, but the kids stop them. *

Manon: No! Never take candy from a stranger!

Chris: He's doing that to steal your miraculous!

Ladybug: I'm tired of Miraculous! I don't want them anymore! *She then starts taking off her earrings. *

Cat Noir: Me neither! Superheroes are lame! *He also starts taking his ring off. *

Eagle: This is boring. I don't even know why I'm a superhero, to begin with. *She then starts taking her talon pendant off. *

Uncanny: Guys, no! Are you crazy?

Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Oh, yes! Yes!

Ella, Etta, Manon, Chris, and Timmy: NOOO! *Chris holds the lucky charm. * Don't let the bad guy win!

Ladybug: Why? I don't want these anymore.

Timmy: You should never accept anything from strangers!

Chris: Yeah, we learned that in class!

Cat Noir: Why not?

Manon: Because it's stranger danger!

Ella: They can do bad stuff to you!

Etta: Yeah! You must not give him anything!

Timmy: (Gotta do something, but what?)

Simpleman: But I'm not a stranger, you know me!

Timmy: You're not yourself Grandpa! You're under Shadow Moth's control. You can break the Akuma!

Simpleman: Why should I? I'm able to make people do simple things. That's why they call me Simpleman! *Timmy looked sad at his grandpa. *

Chris: You have to win against the bad guy!

Ella: We don't want everyone to see weird like this.

Ladybug: But the bad guy is too bad!

Cat Noir: Look how strong he is!

Simpleman: Ha! That's true! *Then, a small crack sound came, which made Simpleman get a backache again. * Gaaah! My back.

Eagle: That's gotta hurt.

Etta: Our sister always telling us that you're the strongest!

Ella: And that you're smarter than the bad guys!

Ladybug: Lucky Charm is too complicated.

Manon: No, it's very simple! It's like a riddle. For example, you can take the air out of the ball and then use a pipe to attach it to the bicycle pump! And, and then you throw it under the bad guy's stick!

Ladybug: Without air in it?

Etta: A-and when the ball's under the stick you just have to blow it up again!

Ella: And when the ball grows bigger it'll make the stick bounce!

Chris: Then Cat Noir can catch it and cataclysm it!

Ladybug: But I don't have a bicycle pump.

Cat Noir: Can I just cataclysm the bad guy? *Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy groan while Simpleman starts thinking. *

Timmy: No!!!

Shadow Moth: (from his lair) Hey! Explaining complicated stuff is cheating!

Simpleman: You get there then. Sorry, but I'm gonna have to simplify you too kids! SIMPLIFICATION!

Uncanny: Uh-oh.

Chris: (throws the ball) Ladybug! *He threw the ball out to Ladybug; she caught it and thought for a minute. *

Ladybug: Make it bounce! *She then throws it at Simpleman. *

Simpleman: HEY!

Manon: Cat Noir! *She points at the spatula SImpleman is holding. *

Cat Noir: Cataclysm?! *She and the others nod their heads yes. And Cat Noir destroys the spatula. * It's true, my power is super simple!

Ladybug: And repairing everything is even more simple! *She swipes open her yo-yo, twirls it around, throws it out, and catches the Mega Akuma. * Gotcha! *She then releases the purified akuma, fluttering away. * Bye-bye, little butterfly. The only thing I have to say is...

Ladybug and the kids: Miraculous Ladybug! *Ladybug throws the ball up in the sky as the Miraculous Ladybug fixes everything. *

Roger: What are you doing in my car? *Simpleman turns back into Rolland. *

Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny: Pound it! *Then out of nowhere, Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and Timmy giggle and hug Ladybug and Cat Noir's legs. *

Eagle: Kids these days. *Uncanny grinned. *

Manon: Ladybug, Cat Noir! You saved us!

Ladybug: No, kids. You saved us. *She booped Manon and Chris' noses. *

Cat Noir: M'lady, to think we were this close to giving away our Miraculous... for candy? *Uncanny and Eagle snickered at that remark. *

Ladybug: Of all the things we've faced, I never would've thought that such a simple power would be the most dangerous. *She creates a Magical Charm and gives it to Rolland. *Mr. Dupain, this magical charm will protect you from Shadow Moth.

Rolland: Oh, is that so? How could this little thing protect me from Shadow-What's-His-Name? The world used to be so simple, I used to understand it! Now I don't understand anything anymore.

Chris: You know, Grandpa Rolland, we don't understand everything either.

Etta: But we are used to it.

Ella: And what's cool is what we don't know, we can learn.

Manon: It's funny it's kind of like a game that you have to win each time, but you're a grown-up and you're not used to it anymore, so it scares you.

Timmy: It's not too late to learn something. *He hugs his grandpa. *

Rolland: You think I can still learn something at my age?

Etta: Sure, if you want! *Ladybug, Cat Noir, Eagle, and Uncanny grinned and leaped away. In Shadow Moth's lair, Shadow Moth growled in his lair. *

Shadow Moth: No! Even when I make things, simple things never seem to go my way! But don't worry, Ladybug! I'll make sure my next plan makes things a lot more complicated for you! *The window starts to close. *
