Oh, a little of this, a little of that...
A whole lot of that.
Look, something's going on at the Chauncey the Cheesemaker's counter.
Oh! I love Chauncey cheeses. They're amazing.
Like the stretcherella, part cheese, part rubber band.
Or that cheese that makes you itch all over. Okay, that's not my favorite.
Maybe they're giving away free samples.
Within this container is Chauncey's newest cheese.
Some might say his greatest cheese ever.
[chattering]
Open it!
[all cheering]
[chuckles] Sorry. Not until tomorrow.
But I can offer free samples of some of our other cheeses.
[shouting]
[grunting]
Put your names in the jar. Win a tour of Chauncey's fantastic factory.
Uh, Trap, you should just let him have it.
No way. I saw it first.

Is it Gouda? Is it gum?
It's both. Gouda gum.
I know. I've been listening to you chew it for 30 minutes.
[voice speaking indistinctly over phone]
Yes. Hello? This is Geronimo Sti--
No, I was just on hold. No.
-We won! -We won the contest.
What contest?
We put our names in a jar,
and now we get a tour of the cheese factory with Chauncey.
We won.
-We won! We won! -This is excellent. Reporters want to know
what the new cheese is.
-You two can get the inside scoop. -You mean, you three.
I wouldn't miss this for all the cheese in the world.
-Am I free tomorrow? -Uh, Trap--
I gotta wax my surfboard, pick up my suit, take my lizard to the allergist--
-I don't know how to-- -Eh, I can squeeze it in.
Um, the thing is, only kids are allowed inside the factory.
[gasps]
No!
Try to get that interview with Chauncey. Have fun.
-[Pandora] We will. -Try to get that interview.
I'm Candice. Pleased to meet you.
I'm president, treasurer and secretary of the Chauncey fan club. My card.
Hi, I'm Benjamin. This is Pandora.
-Do you have cards? -We just ran out.
-I'm Randall. I wanna go home. -Junior, remember what we talked about.
We need to get a place before the others arrive.
-Relax. We're the first ones here. -Yes, but-- [yells]
-Is everyone here? Is everyone ready? -No.
Then welcome to Chauncey's factory,
where nothing is what it seems and adventure is guaranteed.
Please sign these release forms indicating that adventure is not guaranteed.
[chuckles]
[Trap] Hey!
Wait for me!
Hey, mister. I'm their coz. Uh, their younger coz.
-Are you sure--? -Sure I'll be okay by myself?
[chuckles] You bet, Mom.
Uh, "Mom"?
Wait a minute. How old are you?
Uh...
One, two, six, four...
-Ten. -Baloney.
He's not 10.
-I am, too. -[shrieks]
I never get to go anywhere fun!
-Not fair, not fair! -If you think you can annoy me into--
[shouting]
All right, you can come in.
[chuckles]
[chattering]
[reporters shouting]
[cameras clicking]
[sighs, then chuckles]
[Randall] I don't even like Chauncey cheese.
[Candice] Would you put a sock in it, Randall?
[Trap] Yeah, Randall. Don't you know how lucky you are to be here?
This is the most amazing place in the whole world.
I'm surprisingly un-amazed.
[Chauncey laughs]
[Chauncey] That's because you're not looking at this the right way.
-Who said that? -[Chauncey] I did.
I'm Chauncey.
Welcome to my factory.
Pleased to meet you, sir. I'm Candice.
President, treasurer and secretary of your fan club.
Oh, yes.
You've written me letters, many, many... [sighs] many letters.
Welcome.
Uh, how old are you?
Uh... [chuckles]
One, two, four-- Ten.
Sir, could I get an interview for The Rodent's Gazette?
Of course.
Where do you live? What's your favorite subject and fruit?
No, I meant, could I interview you?
Oh, no. I never, ever give interviews.
In my factory, there can be no communication with the outside world.
The things you are about to see are, shh, so secret,
I don't even tell my closest friends. Not that I have friends.
-But if I did, I wouldn't tell them. -Maybe you'd have friends
-if you didn't take other people's things. -And now, my new friends, follow me.
[Candice] Wow, look at all that cheese. Check out the waterfall.
-Are those real cows? -[Chauncey] Yes, indeed.
I find supermarket milk to be too dry. So, I produce my own.
Plenty to see.
But before I give you the tour, I have something amazing to show you.
[barking]
-A cow that thinks it's a dog? -No, something better.
As my guests, I'm giving you a peek of my most incredimazing creation ever.
My friends, I give you the Chaunchenzola!
-Is this one of those light cheeses? -My Chaunchenzola!
Somebody stole my Chaunchenzola!
[chattering]
[grunting]
-I can't see a thing. -We should have gotten here earlier.
I have an idea.
Hold this while I climb up.
[whimpers, then gulps]
-You okay up there? -Uh, yes. Bit higher than I thought.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have some terrible news.
Thea, hold it still.
I can't reveal Chauncey's newest cheese to you because it's been stolen.
[all gasping]
Thea!
[Chauncey sobbing]
It took me seven years to perfect the Chaunchenzola. It was the prototype.
-It's the only one in existence. -Don't you have a recipe?
Oh, yes, of course.
The recipe. It's right-- Oh, no.
It was stolen, too!
[sobbing]
Oh. What was so special about this cheese?
-Oh, Chauncey is sad. -Hey, cheer up.
We'll get your cheese back.
-[grunts] -Whoa.
As president, secretary and treasurer, I concur.
Ah, you're just kids. How are you gonna find my cheese?
We're also reporters. Let us look around, and we'll figure out who took it.
Listen to him. If anyone can find the cheese, Benjamin can.
He's solved complicated mysteries all over!
Okay.
I'll give you one hour, but after that, I'll have to take the necessary actions.
[shrieks]
You hear that? He's gonna take the necessary actions!
-That is so awesome. -Hey, there were five of us a minute ago.
-Where's Randall? -Randall took the cheese?
I don't know, but right now, his disappearance is our only clue.
-[woman 1] Ow, my foot. -Excuse me.
-Watch it. -[Geronimo] Coming through.
-Just-- Right here. -[woman 2] Hey.
[Thea] Who might have stolen the cheese?
[grunts]
I did notice when I fell off the ladder, that something was missing.
Uh, a net?
-[chuckles] Sorry. -No, Sally Rasmaussen and Simon Squealer.
Every reporter in New Mouse City is in that crowd except them.
[sighs] He could be anywhere. It's like looking for a needle in a cheese stack.
You in there, Randall?
You know, the name Randall sounds familiar.
I just can't place it.
-Randall Ra-- -Randall Ratburger.
-Yeah. -Who's Randall Ratburger?
A cheese maker. They're archenemies.
There was a story about him on one of my gossip sites.
Randall's mother called him Junior. Maybe he's Randall's son.
-That would give him motive. -Oh, Randall Ratburger, are you in there?
[mooing]
-Hey there. Have you seen Randall? -I don't think they like it
-when you go into their territory. -Ridiculous.
Everyone knows cows aren't territor--
[cow moos, Trap shrieking]
There he goes. Get him.
[grunting]
[chuckles]
Yum, cheese.
[shrieking]
Itchy cheese.
Sally's limo isn't here.
Ugh. I can't reach Benjamin or Pandora.
That's a Daily Rat truck. Hmm. They don't deliver this time of day.
-They're going somewhere. -Let's find out where.
[Thea] If Sally did steal it, she'd need to have someone on the inside.
[Geronimo shouting]
-[Geronimo] Yes. Could you slow down? -You wanna catch that truck?
Get away from me.
We just wanna talk to you.
Talk to this.
We know who you are, Randall. Or Randall Ratburger Jr.
-What are you, detectives? -Investigative journalists.
-Well, I didn't steal the cheese. -Then why did you run?
I knew if Chauncey found out who my father was, I'd get blamed.
What are you doing here? You hate Chauncey cheeses.
[sighs] The truth is, I love them.
But in my family, you can't mention Chauncey.
The only way my father would let me come here was if I promised to spy for him.
-But I didn't do it. -So, if you didn't, who did?
Don't look at me. I'm the president, treasurer--
[in unison] And secretary of the Chauncey fan club.
Yeah, we know.
[high-pitch squeaking]
What is that?
Melted wax. They use it to coat the cheeses.
[grunting]
Locked.
Ew!
[panting and shouting]
I lost them.
Maybe not. I have a hunch where they might be.
-Help! -Let us out of here!
[Trap] Hello?
Anyone in there?
[both] Trap!
[Trap] I guess there's no one there since I don't hear voices.
-Trap! Trap! -[Trap] So, someone is in there?
Yes!
[Trap] Okay.
Stand back, guys.
[laughs]
Need a hand?
Or a hoof?
[all yelling]
[barking]
-How did you find us? -Bessie did.
-She followed your scent. -Right. The cow.
[chuckles] I had that hat from your room, which has your scent,
so I could pretend to be 10.
Uh... [chuckles] Oops.
I knew it.
Uh, hey, there's Randall! Get him!
Trap, no. He didn't take it.
-Huh? Then who did? -We don't know.
-But whoever locked us in here-- -Stole the cheese.
-I'd better shut off this wax. -Don't touch that.
What are you doing?
Whoever locked us in here turned this to start the wax, right?
Right.
[chuckles] Bessie, come here. Here, girl.
[chuckles] That's right.
Good cow.
[sniffing]
Did you find my cheese? Why are you covered in wax?
Somebody locked us in the wax room and turned on the machine.
That's horrible!
-Who would do that? -[chuckles] Nobody. They're kids.
They probably played with the machine. This tour was a bad idea.
[barking]
He's the cheese thief.
[laughs] That's ridiculous.
[chuckles nervously]
[Flip grunts]
Why did you do this?
Don't I pay you enough?
Yes, in cheese.
Exploding cheese.
Who doesn't love exploding cheese? [laughs]
-Who put you up to this? -I'm not talking. No way, no how.
[barking, then growling]
Uh... [whimpering]
Sally's warehouse.
[crashing]
[shouting]
[phone rings]
Benjamin. I've been trying to call you.
I didn't have my Ben Pad, but I do now. We know who has the cheese.
So do we. Sally Rasmaussen.
-She paid off one of Chauncey's guys. -[Benjamin] How did you know?
We're at her warehouse.
-Get off me! -Unc?
[goon] Get them inside.
Sally's got Geronimo and Thea. We have to help them.
How? We don't have a car.
No, but I have something better.
What is it with you? Can't you ever keep your whiskers out of my business?
Can't you stop breaking the law for a scoop?
[laughing]
Not a scoop.
The scoop.
All aboard.
[whistle tooting]
[all shouting]
[barking]
Now, let's see what all this trouble was for.
I'll take that.
-Crunchrat. -So, that was your car following us.
Look at you two.
Fighting over a scoop.
Where's your imagination? This cheese is worth a fortune.
Oh, you, give that back!
[chuckles]
Sally, Sally.
We make a great team.
You do all the work, and I come in and steal the results.
All this running around and stealing cheese has me parched.
[Geronimo] You can't do this, Crunchrat.
It'll take more than a two-bit reporter to stop me.
[train whistle toots]
Stretcherella!
-Chauncey, all you need is water, right? -Ah, that's right.
I'll take that. Pandora!
-What is this, some kind of a joke? -She's gonna blow!
[yelling]
[all shouting]
Hey.
Thank you all for helping me get my cheese back.
Especially you, Benjamin and Pandora.
-That's your new cheese. -Chaunchenzola, the expanding blue.
Think about it. One tiny wheel can feed a family of four for a year.
And it tastes delicious.
Chauncey has stepped up production on the expanding blue.
And Sally was forced to use her trucks to deliver the cheese to needy families
As for Crunchrat, he got away, again.
Until next time, I'm Randall Ratburger, Jr.
And Candice Cheesespread.
-Be well and-- -Be good.
-Whose broadcast is this? -[Trap] Look.
Chauncey sent us a wheel of Chaunchenzola.
[all] Trap!
