After watching the opening of Far Far Away Royal Ball Blowout, the television show follows the shifts of all Police Knight Officers of the Far Far Away Police Department. The show appears when Gingy, Pinocchio, The Three Little Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf, and The Three Blind Mice use the Magic Mirror as a TV while housesitting at Shrek's swamp. It shows a camera footage from hot-air balloons of spying Shrek, Donkey, and Puss running through the forest and entering Far Far Away to find Fiona and warn her before Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother succeed with their plan. The knights in the police carriages chase after them and around a corner. The second carriage falls as it turns around the corner wildly and angrily.
The next footage shows the knights had caught the trio single-handedly while the other knights run and use their crossbows after them on foot and they detain and arrest human Shrek and white horse Donkey. Donkey the white horse angrily yells out, "Why are you grabbing me?! OWW!! Police brutality!!! POLICE BRUTALITY!!!!!" as the knights tackle him to the ground. Shrek, who was struggling to free himself (but his human form won't let his super strength give in; making him completely outnumbered), tries to explain that he has to talk to Princess Fiona of a warning, but gets pepper sprayed in his eyes with a pepper shaker by a knight cop to silence him and warned him.

After Puss resists the arrest and attacks a knight, the knight cops use an animal capture device to restrain him of arrest. Then, they find a bag of catnip (tongue and cheek version of drugs), which Puss denies owning it, because it doesn't belong to him; it belongs to someone else as a gift from Spain. After capturing Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, the police knights shove the trio into a jail wagon and sending them to the prison of the Jail Tower. Shrek explains that he is Fiona's husband and the white horse is a Donkey, but is cut short as a knight pepper sprays his eyes again with a pepper shaker and the show pauses for a commercial break. Gingy tells the Magic Mirror and Pinocchio to rewind it again and find out that Shrek, Puss and Donkey are in trouble. The fairytale creatures then go to Far Far Away to save the trio and the entire kingdom before Fiona kisses the evil Prince Charming at the ball.

The FFAPD, led by Prince Charming, gather at the entrance of the Dragon's Keep and blocked it to arrest Donkey for making a mess of the Far Far Away castle. This scene is introduced as an episode of the in-universe K.N.I.G.H.T.S. show.
Trivia[]
- The Far Far Away Police Department, (the FFAPD) depicted in K.N.I.G.H.T.S. is a parody of the Los Angeles Police Department, otherwise known as the LAPD.
- This scene on K.N.I.G.H.T.S. is where one of the knights pursuing Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, had referred Donkey as "a white bronco". It is a reference to the double murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman where the suspect, Nicole Brown's late ex-husband O.J. Simpson attempted to flee from the Los Angeles Police Department in his friend, Al Cowlings' white 1993 Ford Bronco driven by Al Cowlings, resulting in the most famous "Bronco chase".
