A Metropolis trio of criminals always use animal masks to conceal their identity and employ hi-tech blaster guns. They are in and out of jail, often right back to their life of crime. One of the men wears a horse mask. Another wears a panda mask. The lone woman in the group wears a duck mask. While they held up Burrito Bucket, Zee Zatara's spell placed Barbara Gordon's consciousness in the body of the man in the panda mask and vice versa. She naturally flipped out until Zatara rectified it. At least the robber with the horse mask held up the Burrito Bucket again and demanded all the burritos. A basketball launched by Kara Danvers at the Metropolis Pier randomly crashed through the ceiling and bounced off the robber's head, knocking him out. The horse masked robber stepped out of a bank and proclaimed he was rich. Danvers bowled right through him after the bicyclist who unknowingly had her egg assignment.
The trio held up the Bank of Moolah but Barbara Gordon noticed them pull up from across the street inside Burrito Bucket, where she was working her shift. She realized they weren't bank patrons at all. At 10:35 am, she asked her boss, Shane O'Shaughnessy for a bathroom break. He gave her two minutes or she was fired. She set a timer and fired a grapnel from the roof's big bucket display then swung across. She hung upside down and peered into the bank. She kicked the door open then went into a long introduction. The robber with the horse mask took offense to being called bafoonish. Batgirl's alarm beeped. She told nobody to move and ran back to Burrito Bucket.
The robbers turned from the vault and saw Batgirl return and throw down a trash bag. She retorted it was time to take out the trash. The horse pointed out she just brought it in. She had to stop and run to the restroom. The horse shrugged. Batgirl burst out but the alarm beeped. The robbers loaded their trunk with the stolen money but Batgirl jumped atop the getaway car and yanked the horse's keys away with a Bat Claw and blew it up with a Bat Grenade. She hopped down to the trunk roof but had to run back to work again. She took a Metropoleats Delivery Service worker's car and drove into the bank. Batgirl was aghast the robbers took hostages. The horse pointed out she blew up his keys and asked what else were they supposed to do. He demanded she let them take the cash and nobody would get hurt. The alarm beeped. Gordon returned to work and called the Flash for help. He quickly arrived and ran into the bank.
Batgirl returned to the bank and noticed the Flash got tied up, too. He admitted he was just as surprised. She had to run back. Luckily, it was 12 and Gordon took her federally mandated 15 minute break. Batgirl threw her Batarang and knocked the duck's gun away, untied a hostage, uppercut the panda, cut more rope, whacked the horse with a bag of money, cut more rope, stood up Flash, and asked him to run her errands. He agreed and ran off. Batgirl ran and jump kicked then leg sweeped the horse, threw his bag of money back into the vault, clotheslined the panda, threw another bag in, and collared the duck but her alarm beeped. Gordon tried to go back and worth while working on a 100 bucket order. She double punched the panda in the gut. Went back. Jump kicked the horse while still in her work uniform. Went back. She returned in both uniforms but everyone was gone. She dropped to her knees in realization she failed.
After Gordon got fired, the trio walked in and ordered two taco buckets, four buckets of quesadillas, three buckets of guacamole then put on their masks and held up O'Shaughnessy and Jimmy. Gordon, undetected by the robbers, stood around the corner by the restroom. She put on her bucket and a pancho then jumped atop the counter as the Burrito Bucketeer. She knocked their guns away with burritos, squirted guacamole on the floor, they slipped, then she garnished them and rolled them up in a rug like a burrito. After a police officer took them into custody, O'Shaughnessy admitted she saved the restaurant, reinstated her, and gave her Employee of the Night. The Robbers were tied up by Powergirl before they could complete a bank heist.
