Scene: Marinette's room. Marinette and Manon are playing with Marinette's Ladybug and Cat Noir dolls.
Marinette: (Puppet Cat Noir) Here I am, m'lady!
Marinette: (Puppet Ladybug) Glad to see you, Cat Noir!
Marinette: (puppet white fang) how's it hanging red!
Marinette: (Puppet Cat Noir) Of course you are! I'm the cat's meow! (she roars and then giggles)
Manon: He shouldn't say that!
Marinette: No? (Manon frowns and shakes her head)
Marinette: (Puppet Ladybug) This is no time to be goofing around, Cat Noir! We gotta capture the baddies' akumas before theyâ (pauses and looks at Manon) Actually, what do the baddies want?
Manon: Uh....we wanna win!
Marinette: Yeah, but win what?
Manon: I don't know. What do they usually want?
Marinette: Depends. Lady Wifi wanted to reveal Ladybug's true identity and Evillustrator wanted to get revenge on a girl for making fun of him! Then there was Rogercop. But the evil Hawk Moth, who makes them bad, wants to take Ladybug's and Cat Noir's jewels from them! Their Miraculouses!
Manon: And what would happen if he did take them?
Marinette: The bad guys... would win!
Manon: I know! I know what the bad guys want! We want the Miraculous! Then we'll win! Forever and ever! I'm gonna get your Miraculous, Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir! You-you goody two-shoeses! You'll be super-duper sorry!
Marinette: You won't get our Miraculouses!
Manon: Oh yeah? (the dolls fight, and Marinette's dolls win)
Marinette: Yay! Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir have won again!
Manon: No fair!! You always win!! (starts crying)
Marinette: Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir always win, and the bad guys always lose.
Manon: But you never let me play with Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir!
Marinette: Oh, don't cry! Of course you can play with Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir! I'll even let you borrow one of them if you want.
(Nadja comes up on the stairs.)
Nadja: I'm back, Manon. Have you been a good girl?
Manon: Mommy!! Marinette didn't let me win!! (hugs her mother and cries even more) She didn't play fair and square!!
Nadja: Oh, Manon, you can't always expect to win!
Manon: Yes, you can! Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir always win!
Nadja: Well, you're right there! But they're superheroes!
Marinette: You'll win next time, Manon!
Nadja: Alright, now give the doll back to Marinette.
Manon: NO! I wanna keep it!
Marinette: She can if she wants. I told her she could borrow it.
Nadja: And that's sweet of you, Marinette, but Manon already has so many toys at home, I wouldn't even know where to put it. (attempts to take the doll away, but accidentally rips the doll's arm)
Manon: NO! Huh?
Nadja: Look what you've done, Manon! Give it to me. I'm sorry, Marinette.
Marinette: Oh, it's nothing, I can sew it up again! It's no problem, really.
Najda: Oh, thank goodness! Come on, Manon, we're leaving. Say goodbye.
Manon: I... want... that... DOLL!
Nadja: No, you can play with it here next time you come. Come on, Manon, be a good girl and say goodbye. (Manon cries on her shoulder)
Manon: (whispers softly as they go down the stairs) Goodbye.
Nadja: (her phone rings and answers it) Hi, Alec. Huh? Didn't I leave it for you on my desk at the station?
(Manon runs back to the stairs.)
Manon: Uh, I left my bag up there, mommy!
Nadja: Go quickly and get it! (to Alec) It's not there, huh?
(Marinette opens her box of her DIY accessories. Tikki appears.)
Tikki: I think our heroes are in need of a little TLC!
(Manon enters the room and Tikki hides.)
Marinette: Manon! What are you-
Manon: I left my bag here! (gets her backpack, opens it, picks up the magic wand from the floor and looks at the Ladybug doll) Can I have Ladybug?
Marinette: You heard what your mom said.
Manon: She wouldn't know if I hide it!
Marinette: Sorry, but I have to sew her up!
Manon: Pretty pleeeeease??
Marinette: Oh please, please not the baby doll eyes! (Marinette looks at Tikki who shakes her head)
Marinette: Ugh. Okay, you can borrow Lady Wifi.
Manon: Can I have the Ladybug doll?
Nadja: (from the downstairs) Hold on Alec. Hurry up Manon! We have to stop by the station!
Manon: (saves the doll in her backpack) Coming, mommy! (waves goodbye)
Tikki: Wow, she sure had you wrapped around her little finger!
Marinette: What!? No she didn- ugh. You know Tikki, I can't say no to those-
Tikki: Baby doll eyes? Just be glad none of Ladybug's baddies have them! You'd be rendered powerless!
Scene: TVi Tower. Manon plays with the Lady Wifi doll and a Ladybug magazine.
Manon: (Ladybug magazine) Here I am, baddie! Haha! I've saved Paris again!
Manon: (Lady Wifi doll) No! No fair! You always win!
Nadja: I'm sorry, Alec. I thought I gave it to you. It must be in the studio.
Alec: No sweat!
Nadja: (to receptionist) Can you just keep an eye on Manon for me, please? I won't be long. (looks over at Manon)
Manon: (Lady Wifi doll) Where are you hiding... Ladybug?!
Nadja: (takes doll) Wha...? This is one of Marinette's dolls. You took it after I specifically told you not to!
Manon: But, Marinette wanted me to have it!
Nadja: You disobeyed me. I told you the dolls were to stay at her house. You won't be needing these anymore.
Manon: NO! Mommy, please don't!
Nadja: I'm not happy about this. Wait for me here.
(Nadja walks away as Manon stands alone, she gets frustrated as she sits back down. Nadja and Alec go in the elevator. Manon takes out the magic wand from her backpack.)
Manon: I didn't steal that doll! I want that DOLL!
Scene: Hawk Moth's lair. The window opens.
Hawk Moth: Ah, what could be more pure than an innocent child's emotions? Especially anger. I love it! (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, evil akuma, and commiserate with this frustrated child! (laughs as the akuma flies out of his lair)
Scene: Subway. Alya and Marinette rush down the station to catch the train.
Marinette: The movie starts in thirty minutes. Or, we could buy your book first and go to the next showing.
Alya: Either way girl. (gasps) Marinette, nine 'o' clock!
Marinette: No, there's no nine 'o' clock showing.
Alya: Not that nine 'o' clock! This nine 'o' clock! (turns Marinette's face toward Adrien, who is getting on another wagon of train with Al as it's doors open.)
Marinette: Wha...? Adrien!
Alya: Come on! (drags Marinette and jumps into the next wagon of Adrien's.)
Marinette: (bumps into a passenger on the train) Sorry.
Scene: TVi Tower. The akuma flies and enters in Manon's wand.
Hawk Moth: Puppeteer, I'm Hawk Moth. From now on, you can control anyone!
Manon: Even Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir?
Hawk Moth: Yes... as long as you possess their dolls.
Manon: And I can win?
Hawk Moth: Yes, you will be able to win! But, in return, you must do something for me!
Manon: Bring you their Miraculouses! I know! (transforms into the Puppeteer)
Hawk Moth: What a smart little girl you are.
(A receptionist is working at the front desk when the Puppeteer floats up.)
Puppeteer: Wanna play a game?
Receptionist: Heeelp!
Puppeteer: I've got to get those Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir dolls! I... want... those... DOLLS! (walks into the studio and finds the Lady Wifi doll)
Nadja: I'm sure I left it in here. Ugh. Where is it?! Ah. Here it is. (Puppeteer takes the Lady Wifi doll from Nadja's purse) Sorry, Alec. Here's the file you need.
(Puppeteer chuckles wickedly.)
Scene: Subway.
Marinette: I wonder what station he's getting off at. Ohâmaybe he's going to the same movie! Oh! How cool that'd be!? But wait! But then, he might think that we're following him! Like stalkers! (gasps) Me, a stalker? HAH! Although, I would follow him. I mean, of course I wouldn't really stalk him! Oh...who am I kidding?!
Alya: Haha! Who are you talking to?
(Adrien and Al wave at Alya.)
Alya: He's waving!
Marinette: Oh no! Now what are we gonna do?
Alya: Wave back! (springs out Marinette's arm to wave.)
Scene: TV Studio.
Puppeteer: Okay, Lady Wifi, come to life!
Alya: Whatâ what's going on!? (turns back into Lady Wifi)
Marinette: Alya!
Lady Wifi: Marinette! Give me those Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir dolls!
Marinette: Lady Wifi?
Lady Wifi: No! I'm Puppeteer! And I... want... those... dolls... NOW!!
Marinette: Puppeteer? The dolls? I don't-I don't have them. They're at home! Why...Why do you want them, Puppeteer?
Lady Wifi: Because, you said I could have them! Then Mommy said "no!" So give 'em to me now! Or you'll be super duper sorry!
Marinette: (gasps in realization) Manon!
Lady Wifi: I want Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, to win! Forever and EVER!! (creates fast-forward button and leaves the subway)
Marinette: (Marinette runs after Lady Wifi.) Manon! This isn't a game!
Adrien: Excuse me sir, there's a...uhm...cat loose on the train!
Train Manager: What? Thanks kiddo! (he runs off as Plagg comes out)
Plagg: (annoyed) Cat?!
Adrien: Plagg! We have to transform!
Plagg: (disappointed) Just when we'd shaken off your bodyguard.
[ Transformation Sequence ]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out!
Plagg: What about the movie? The buttery popcorn?
(Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)

Al: so much for the movie.
[ Transformation Sequence]
Al: lupin let's hunt! Yeah! (Al transforms into white fang)
Marinette: Tikki, I have to find a place to transform. (feels a hand on her back)
Cat Noir: Hey, that was Lady Wifi. Did that villain say anything to you?
White fang: anything important?
Marinette: Uh, I'm not sure, but well, uh, her voice belonged to a little girl I babysit. It's as if she was controlling my friend, AlyaâI mean, Lady Wifi from a distance. This is so weird.
Cat Noir: And what was all this talk about dolls?
Marinette: I've got some dolls at home that she likes to play with.
Cat Noir: Your dolls? Okay, where do you live?
Marinette: 12 Rue Gotlib.
Cat Noir: will take care of it! (runs off)
White fang: you better hide. (Runs off)
Marinette: (hides) I don't like the idea of Cat Noir or white fang rummaging around in my room.
Tikki: Just say the words.
[ Transformation Sequence ]
Marinette: Tikki, Spots on! Ha! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug)
(Ladybug swings to the bakery to meet white fang and Cat Noir.)
Ladybug: Hey kitty, wolfy, up here! (to Lady Wifi) Puppeteer! Such a shame, it's really not nice to steal from your babysitter.
Cat Noir: Breaking and entering are grounds for a serious time-out.
White fang: 30 minutes at least.
Puppeteer: Soon I'll get your Miraculouses, you goody two-shoeses!
Cat Noir: There's only one good two-shoes around here and I'm not her!
Lady Wifi: Freeze! (shoots pause button to them, Cat Noir dodges it and it hits to Adrien's poster. Ladybug panics)
Ladybug: Remember how we defeated Lady Wifi the first time?
Cat Noir: Take out the Wi-Fi signal! Gotcha!
(Cat Noir climbs up to the top. Ladybug and white fang grab the Ladybug doll, and white fang doll, respectively, but Lady Wifi pauses them. She walks over to them.)
Hawk Moth: Nice move, Puppeteer, good girl! Now - take there Miraculous!
Cat Noir: Cataclysm. (uses his power on Wi-Fi signal. Lady Wifi goes to get Ladybug's Miraculous, but the pause button disappears. Ladybug grabs Lady Wifi's phone)
Ladybug: Looks like you've just lost your signal, Wifi! (smashes phone, but no akuma comes out)
Ladybug: Where's the akuma?
White fang: Alya wasn't the one akumatized.
Puppeteer: I want those dolls, Lady Wifi!
(Lady Wifi throws a couch at Ladybug and disappears.)
Cat Noir: Did you capture her akuma?
Ladybug: She didn't have one!
Cat Noir: How's that possible?
Ladybug: She's controlled by Puppeteer! She must have the akuma!
White fang: she does.
Cat Noir: Why, Lady Wifi's nothing but a puppet! (gasps) Please tell me you got the Cat Noir doll!
Ladybug: Sorry, only these ones. (shows the Ladybug doll and white fang doll)
White fang: that's not good.
Cat Noir: We'd better find Puppeteer fast before she takes control of the other dolls! And me! (his Miraculous beeps)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, your ring! You're about to transform back!
Cat Noir: Don't let her make me a puppet! You know I like to be in command!
Ladybug: You mean second-in-command. Call me when you're back in business. (calls Nadja on her yo-yo)
Nadja: Yes? What? Ladybug!?
Ladybug: Where are you?
Nadja: At the TV station.
Ladybug: Is your daughter with you?
Nadja: Yes! She's playing downstairs! Why? Is everything okay, Ladybug?

Ladybug: (giggles nervously): Sorry! On three, One... two... three!
(They burst through the door.)
Puppeteer: Cat Noir! Come to Life!
Cat Noir: No! (Cat Noir becomes controlled by the Puppeteer)
White fang: crap!
Ladybug: Cat Noir! No!
Hawk Moth: Use Cat Noir to seize Ladybug and white fang's dolls! When you control those two, you'll have won everything, and Ladybug and white fang will be defeated!
Puppeteer and Cat Noir: Gimme that Ladybug doll and the white fang doll! I'm gonna get your Miraculous!
Ladybug: Not so fast, rugrat! (aims her yo-yo and starts swinging, noting Puppeteer's wand) The Akuma must be in there. (tries to grab the wand with her yo-yo)
Puppeteer: (blocks it with Cat Noir) Stop her!
Ladybug: Sorry Cat Noir! (Evillustrator and Rogercop come in) two against five!? That's not very fair and square!
White fang: I don't think they care red.
Hawk Moth: This is the moment I've been waiting for. Your time is up Ladybug and white fang! You're doomed!
Puppeteer: The Ladybug doll and white fang doll, get it!
(Evillustrator draws a phone for Lady Wifi.)

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (a power strip appears) A power strip?
White fang: I don't see an outlet?
Puppeteer: You've lost, Ladybug!
Ladybug: (uses her Lucky Vision and notices Lady Wifi's phone, one of Cat Noir's boots and Rogercop's and the Evillustrator's arms. The Evillustrator erases the wall in front of her) There may be four of you but I'm twice as dangerous!

Ladybug: You were a puppet! But don't worry, you didn't do anything foolish!
Cat Noir: Good. And Ladybug, FYI, you can pull my heartstrings any day! (winks)
White fang: gag.
Ladybug: Hahaha! I think I liked you better when you sounded like a five-year-old girl!
Hawk Moth: No! This cannot be happening! (grunts in disappointment as the window closes)

Ladybug: It's time I bug out.
White fang: ciao

Marinette: Yeah, with her...
Nadja: Baby doll eyes? Yes, I know. See you later then. Kiss, Manon!
Manon: (gives her mother a kiss) Bye mommy!
Marinette: See you later, Mrs. Chamack!
Nadja: Buh-bye!
Manon: I wanna play with Ladybug white fang and Cat Noir!
Marinette: (looks at the dolls) I have a better idea. Why don't we go to the zoo today?
Manon: But I wanna play with the dolls! Pretty please!
Marinette: Don't even try it, Manon.
Manon: (giggles) I love the zoo! I'm ready!
(They run off.)
