Plot
When Mordecai and Rigby are cleaning trash by the fountain when they discover a group of baby ducks living in it after they drain the water. They brush it off thinking the mother duck will come get them; however, when Rigby is leaving, the baby ducks follow him which Mordecai finds very funny. Benson comes over and asks if they are done cleaning the fountain as he says that they need to find a home for the baby ducks and get back to work. They take the baby ducks to the coffee shop in response. Margeret and Eileen find the ducks to be very cute after the baby ducks start copying whatever Rigby does. Mordecai tries to get them to take the baby ducks, but Eileen is allergic to duck dander and Margeret can't take them home with her because her building rules say no pets allowed, but she suggets that the two of them should try the animal shelter, so Mordecai and Rigby take them to the animal shelter; unfortunately, the animal shelter worker does not want them after they karate chop each other, a pitbull dog, and even pummel a snake. After the pitbull incident, the owner of the shelter says,"Those ducks are thugs!". Mordecai says they have to find someone cool to take them, since they think the ducks are amazing so they decide to take a video game break.

The baby ducks defeated Rigby three times in a row, after Benson overhears Mordecai saying maybe they should keep them. Mordecai responds by telling him they will continue looking for a person to keep them. Benson asks if they are done cleaning the fountain, but they are not. He tells them to finish cleaning the fountain and find someone to take the baby ducks. After putting up flyers for the ducks, a duck collector comes over in his truck but Mordecai and Rigby refuse him. They get a call from the duck's mother; however, when she gets there, the Duck Collector has already stolen them.

Mordecai and Rigby follow him while flying on the duck's mother, the former slams through the window of the truck and kicks the duck collector. This causes the truck to crash into the fountain, allowing the ducks to escape; still, the duck collector comes back and kicks Mordecai into a tree. The ducks' mother flies in and tries to stop the collector by pecking at his head, but gets thrown to the ground. When Rigby tries to stand up to the collector, he draws a sword from his cane causing the former to cower in fear. The ducks, seeing thier mother and friends in peril, transform into a giant buff man with a duck's head. They karate chop the duck collector in half, causing him to explode. The ducks return to normal, thank Mordecai and Rigby for teaching them to be like the two, and fly off with their mother. Benson shows up, but Mordecai alerts him since the truck crashed into the fountain. It is completly destroyed, and Benson, who may have seen the entire event, walks away without saying a word to Mordecai and Rigby.

Trivia/Goofs

 * There are baby ducks in "The Power" and Rigby also blurts out "A bunch of baby ducks" also a line used in the same episode; however, they are not the same since the baby ducks Rigby sent to the moon are permanently stuck there due to Skips breaking The Power in half.
 * However if one looks closely a keyboard can be seen albiet just barely as the camera pans showing all of the junk in the fountian.
 * Before the baby ducks killed the Duck Collector, the truck was not damaged but after the Duck Collector exploded, the truck was seen in cracks and scratches.
 * Running Gag: The ducks keep on copying Rigby, Rigby keeps on telling the duck to step off while doing a karate chop.
 * Goof: When Benson was ordering Mordecai and Rigby to get back to work after they were playing video games, the controller that one of the baby ducks on the couch was holding was either clear of one color or there were buttons visible between shots.
 * Goof: At times, the baby ducks' bodies change size as well as the number of them.
 * Goof: Shots at the coffee shop switch from the baby ducks chirping at Rigby to imitating how he was swinging his arm.
 * The first time Mordecai beats Rigby in Rock, Paper, Scissors (twice).
 * It is revealed Margaret lives in an apartment because she says "No pets allowed in my building".
 * The chase scene is very similar to Raiders Of The Lost Ark, where Indiana Jones chases after the enemy truck.
 * The same chase scene also uses 3D computer graphics if you look closely. This was also used in The Night Owl.
 * This was the first time a dangerous weapon is used to actually try and kill someone.
