==Plot==
Set after Johnson's Vengeance, the video begins with No-Life thinking about the recent situation - his dad turning out to be a villain, which Spyman's Cosmos had to fight. Given the circumstances, he genuinely wants to change at last, but knows it won't work, recollecting how he reverted to he was multiple times already. His contemplation is broken by his mom entering the room and almost getting mad at him for not being packed for their trip yet. However, when No-Life tells her he doesn't want to go, because he's still in a bad mood, his mother is surprisingly understanding, but says it has been months since they were abandoned by his father and it's time to move on. She says how refreshing the holidays on the Canary Islands would be, when No-Life suddenly complains that there are going to be a lot of old people. No-Life's Mom instantly changes her attitude and scolds No-Life, assuming he actually hasn't changed at all and leaves, telling him to pack quickly. No-Life lays back down on the bed and asks himself what had even happened, as he didn't really mean to say that. He realizes it's his old habits still inside him and that it's hard to get rid of them.
Cut to the airport, where No-Life's Mom's entire focus goes to checking if she has everything in her bag. When she asks herself if she had closed their car, Henry reassures her that she did and she thanks him, saying it's good to have a helpful son, which brings No-Life down even more. Eventually, she believes that Rose's ID got lost and assumes she left it at the control. No-Life immediately decides to rush there, saying that he will be helpful. However, his mom doesn't hear it and finds the ID right after he leaves. She then tells the kids that it's time to go to the plane and though Henry wants to point out No-Life's departure, she rushes him. A while later, No-Life comes back, as the ID was not there and starts looking for his family. He gets terrified when he thinks they left him on purpose, but calms himself down, saying they just went to board the plane. However, he doesn't really remember where they are supposed to go and only remembers his brother saying that it's in Spain. Due to his poor geography knowledge, he finds the plane to Paris - in his mind the capital of Spain - and is unaware it's the wrong one, as he spots a woman dressed similarily to his mom. 
In Paris, he looks around his family again and spots the woman again, but to his surprise and disgust, she is approached and kissed by none other than Phil. It turns out that the girl is actually Jenny Brown in a wig and No-Life realizes that, however doesn't want to approach the two after everything that had happened. When he sees a welcoming banner, saying that he is in the capital of France, he's confused, but quickly copes with the fact that he's away from his family and says it's for the best. Following that, a montage of his shenanigans in the French capital is shown, during which he attacks a mime copying his moves and shouts that he hates mimes. Eventually, he is spotted by Tobias Sanders and Larry Mealey, who happen to be there as well. Eventually, they drag him under a bridge and tell how they are jokes among the villain community for being beaten by him. Tobias intends to cut No-Life with a knife to get revenge and the boy is put in a difficult situation - he doesn't want to fight the two, as he fears he would become insane and unstoppable again. He then shouts for help, saying he is being molested and they let him go. However, Tobias says that not everything is lost, reminding Larry why they came to Paris.
When the night falls, No-Life arrives under a big manor, which belongs to his Aunt Florence. However, nobody answers the door, so he asks a person passing by if he knows anything. The neighbour seemingly gets upset, telling No-Life that his aunt is in a better place now. The place turns out to be the sunny Hawaii, with Aunt Florence briefly shown relaxing on a beach. The boy realizes that he is on his own and fortunately finds a spare key under the doormat, being excited for being home alone again. Meanwhile, Tobias and Larry arrive in some building for an unknown yet reason, which is then revealed by an announcer. The voice welcomes everyone to The Criminal Con, which gathers villains of the evil organization L.O.V.E from all around the world. Subsequently, he introduces the special guests of that year's edition, the most professional robbers in the world - The Troublesome Trio, consisting of The Mime, Fast Bill and Tobias and Larry's biggest idol - Le Collecteur. The latter gives a brief résumé on their achievements, but is rushed by Bill, who gets to the more important part - a contest, in which using random selection, one of the villains applying would be chosen to accompany the Trio on a mission arranged specifically for this event, where together they would get The Pearls of Toulon. While a simple goal, the winner would be allowed to take the treasure.
Tobias and Larry are excited and the former starts getting ascended, when Le Collecteur begins announcing the winner and all the points point that it could be him and and his friend. Before the name reveal, he gets up and runs towards the stage in euphoria, only to find out that the victor is actually Gun henchman #84. Le Collecteur recognizes Tobias, which he is surprised by, revealing that they had met years before. However, Collecteur says he, and many others, actually knows him for his infamy after being defeated by No-Life two years prior. Tobias is confused and gets outraged by the fact that a random henchman was chosen instead of him, even when it's revealed that got respect for being the only gun standing after the battle of Nisipoulis. The bandit gets infuriated, as he and Larry are technically in a similar situation to the gun, yet they are still the laughing stock of all the villains. Le Collecteur then gives him a small honest talk on how even despite their successes, they would never become the famous criminals they want to be, as they operate on a very small scale. Finally, the entire audience bursts out laughing, humiliating Tobias even more.
Flashback to a little bit earlier, No-Life's family is about to arrive on the Canary Islands, when No-Life's Mom realizes that the boy is not with them and panicks, calling herself a bad mother. However, her eldest son cheers her up, saying that No-Life is most likely fine. Cut to No-Life, who searches through his aunt's belongings and throws away some pearls, which turn out to be The Pearls of Toulon. He then attempts to taste wine, but as he chooses a freshly made one, it doesn't taste as good. He spits it out and breaks the bottle in fury, then breaking down even more, as he once again turned on his acquired reflexes. Then, he decides it would be better if he just went to bed. 
Back at Criminal Con, Tobias is sitting on a side, brought down, and is approached by Larry. He assumes that his partner won't really make him better, but it turns out the exact opposite. Larry cheers him up, saying that he never gave up on him, despite his low intelligence. He also says that they shouldn't be let down because of the Trio and actually aspire to be even better than them, saying that they should be "three steps ahead". This gives Tobias an idea and it quickly cuts to them under Florence's house. Tobias quickly gets to the first floor by a grappling hook, which he then drops back at Larry, telling him to hurry, as the Trio could be there soon as well. Meanwhile, a few roofs away, Le Collecteur is seen preparing himself for the robbery and playing a voice mail from his wife, who is revealed to be unaware of his criminal activity and asks if something could be done to get him back home from work, as his son wants to spend the holidays together. The robber promises that he'd be there next year and is then called by Fast Bill, who checks in from under the house. Asked if the house is truly empty, Bill reports that he can see a light turned on, which surprises Le Collecteur.
Tobias is seen again, holding the window, so it doesn't close for Larry, when the door is opened, causing a draft and closing the window. Due to the hit, Larry is pushed back and falls down, landing on and killing Gun henchman #84. Fast Bill and The Mime are shocked and the former tells the Collecteur what has happened. Their leader is surprised to hear about the two other criminals also being there and Larry approaches Bill's earplug to tell the villain that they plan to steal the pearls before them. Collecteur ignores him and suits up, running across a roof and finally flying over the street and breaks the window, interrupting Tobias and No-Life's confrontation. When asked about it, he tells No-Life who he is and finds out that the boys is the infamous kid who supposedly defeated two wacky bandits with "superpowers". He encourages No-Life to show some of those abilities on him, but the kid refuses, repeating that he is not going to fight. Le Collecteur once again mocks Tobias and runs to steal the treasure, with his opponent shouting that he won't allow him to steal the pearls. When No-Life hears that, he immediately follows and sees Le Collecteur picking up the same pearls he threw away.
No-Life is devastated, having technically failed his family again, by allowing to steal their wealthy possesion so easily. He is conflicted whether he should fight or not, but ultimately decides that he must do so and lands on the ground floor, telling the Trio about his situation and that he doesn't care if he becomes a beast again, because he's doing it for his family. He then jumps at Le Collecteur, beginning the fight. He orders his allies to attack the boy, while at the same time dropping the pearls. The Mime is the first one the boy faces and after throwing out the bombs outside and dodging the bullets, he points at the villain with a fire hose. He reminds of his hatred towards mimes, saying bad things to him and turning on the water, causing The Mime to be pushed out of the house. The water smears The Mime's make up, revealing that he's actually black and assumes No-Life's comment had racist undertone. No-Life tries to fix the situation, but lets go, tells himself not to beat himself down, when Bill attacks him and shows that he has the pearls in his hands and leaves instantly. However, No-Life jumps in front of him a short distance from the house, recollecting the previous year, when he ran around his city in a very short time, thus being fast too. Bill then aggressively jokes telling No-Life to try phasing his arms like him and attempts to crush the boy's heart, but he kicks him in the balls and quickly pushing into the wall while he's in pain.
After No-Life turns back, he sees Larry with the pearls, while Bill is seen escaping with a part of the wall on him. Tobias is astonished by Larry's success, which is quickly erased however, when Le Collecteur flies over him and whips the pearls out of his hands. Collecteur glues to the wall and attempts to bounce from it to the other side with spring shoes, but No-Life grabs him and throws into the window. Meanwhile, Larry tells his friend that they can still get the pearls, but Tobias says they should really be three steps ahead of the remaining Collecteur and tells him to run away. At the same time, Le Collecteur lands on his bottom after being punched by No-Life, which turns on his phone and the voice mail. When No-Life hears that he is both a villain and a father at the same time, he sees his own father in him and despite Collecteur saying that it's all for his family's and son's good, No-Life screams that the only way to help his son would be to leave him alone and gives the final blow, throwing Le Collecteur onto the wine shards left earlier and finally overworking his dad-related trauma. He also looks at the pearls smiling, knowing that in the end he didn't disappoint his family this time.
In the morning, No-Life finishes giving a report to a police officer, who says that until his family shows up, the boy will be under the governmental care. No-Life doubts that his relatives would ever show up and the policeman tries to cheer him up, to then ask if a family nearby isn't the one. Surprisingly, it is indeed No-Life's family and the boy runs to meet with them, being happy to see them. His mom shows signs of worrying and relief and says that she heard what happened in the house and is actually proud of her son. No-Life is delighted to hear these words and the credits roll.
In a post-credits scene, Le Collecteur is visited by Fast Bill in the prison. Bill reveals that The Grand Boss of L.O.V.E has assigned the trio with a special mission and asks the three's leader if he's in. Le Collecteur smiles evily, leaving the answer obvious.
