The bullies come along the road in a stolen parking enforcement vehicle when Bart shoves Ralph into a bush to keep the bullies from seeing that he was with Bart. After the bullies leave, Bart and Ralph go back to the Wiggum house and Ralph shows Bart around his back garden before they go back to his room to play. Bart then asks Ralph where all the cool police equipment is kept and Ralph shows Bart Chief Wiggum's closet full of police files, guns and riot gear. As Chief Wiggum returns home, Bart and Ralph hide in the closet. Wiggum then hurts himself trying to apprehend a possible criminal in his house but is relieved to find that it's Bart and Ralph. When Chief Wiggum finds out that Bart is on a play date with Ralph, he's happy as Ralph has a friend then gives the two of them riot gear to play with. He then hangs the police master key on the bedpost, which interests Bart when he finds out what it is.
Back at the Simpson house, Homer and Marge are trying to record answer phone messages. Bart tells Marge that he is having a sleepover with Ralph, which makes Marge happy as Bart's found something he likes about Ralph. That night, Bart and Ralph steal the master key and head into town, going to the toy store and a bakery. They then encounter the bullies again who are excited to find that Ralph has the master key. Bart takes them all to the Morningwood Penitentiary prison to break in, but Ralph gets scared.
