For several weeks, priceless artifacts have been disappearing from the museum.
I've been saying all along it's Shadow, but I had no proof,
so, I set up a high-def camera outside the museum.
Now we finally have the proof we need.
-[device beeps] -[laughing]
Is it something I said?
[chuckles] No. It's this new text message joke service I signed up for.
-Wanna hear one? -Not particularly.
[laughs] Why do mice have long tails? Because they'd look silly with long hair!
[laughs] Long hair! Get it?
-You don't get it. You see, mice-- -I get it, Trap.
Do me a favor and grab the DVD out of the machine?
Uh, that's not the--
-Eject button! Trap! -What?
You just erased the DVD. Police Chief Pepperjack
-is coming in 20 minutes to see the video. -It's not my fault.
Those buttons all look the same. Except that big one that says erase.
Good thing we still have a master copy, but it's in Professor Volt's lab.
I'd go, but I have to wait in the office for Pepperjack.
-I can get it. -Are you sure you can handle this?
-Totally. -You're sure?
-Positive, filled with certainty? -When have I ever let you down?
Besides just now when I erased your DVD. [giggles]
And that time I crashed your car. And that other time I crashed your car.
-And-- -All right.
Against my better judgment, I will trust you to do this.
The master copy is in the high-def camera at Volt's lab.
Bring it to the studio downstairs.
As soon as you get there, I'll make the copy,
-then run back to meet Pepperjack. -You can count on me.
[cell phone beeps]
[Trap laughs]

Was it one part triptobromine, or one part purply looking stuff?
Hey, there, professor. I'm here for the super high-def camera.
Yes, of course. It's over on the table. Don't touch anything else, though.
Especially not the experimental shrink-ray device.
Right-o.
[cell phone beeps]
[laughs]
-Wanna hear a joke? -Trap, as you can see, I'm quite busy--
How do you make a skunk stop smelling? Plug its nose!
[laughs]
Signing up for this joke service is the smartest decision I ever made.
See you, Volt.
Yeah, yeah.
Ah. There you are. Thank you for coming.
What's the emergency? I was in the middle of my favorite show.
Fashion Catastrophes: Embarrassment Edition.
You can watch it here. No, wait. Don't.
We need to look professional when Pepperjack gets here.
Police Chief Pepperjack?
I have a DVD of Shadow stealing a vase from the museum.
Trap is in the studio with the master copy.
I need to go make another DVD.
Can you stay with Chief Pepperjack when he comes?
We'll hold down the fort.
Keep him here until I get back. Don't let him leave the office.
-What if he needs to use the bathroom? -He can use the bathroom.
What if he wins the lottery
and the only way they'll give him the money is if he leaves?
If he wins the lottery he can leave. Anything else?
What if--?
[mumbles]
-It's cool, unc. We got it covered. -Thank you.
-Good. You got the camera. -Right here.
-You ask Trap to do something, he does it. -Can I have it?
Sure. I just wanna try it out first.
Pretend you're a journalist reporting breaking news.
Stop playing around. I'm on a deadline here.
That's good. You look great. Actually, I can't find the viewfinder.
Give that to me. We need to make a copy.
Hey. You wanna hear my Pepperjack impression?
Hello, Geronimo Stilton. I'm Chief Pepperjack.
Trap, stop-- Actually, that's pretty good.
-Would you please hand me the camera? -Smile.
What's that sound? That's not the camera!
Trap!
What did you say? Coz?
Now, where did he go?
-Hello, Benjamin. Pandora. -Hello, Chief Pepperjack.
Is it okay if Matilda comes in?
She's not gonna go crazy and destroy Geronimo's office, right?
[laughs]
Don't worry. Matilda is very well behaved. Aren't you, girl? Aren't you?
Where's Geronimo? He had something to show me.
He's getting it right now. He said to make yourself at home.
Well, if you insist.
Ah. Comfy.
Mm.
Earl Grey. You don't think Stilton minds if I drink his tea, do you?
Mm. Is that cheddar?
-Geronimo? -Trap!
Trap!
Geronimo?
No! No! Don't leave!
[yelps] That bug looks exactly like Geronimo!
Weird.
Wait a minute.
That bug is Geronimo.
You took the shrink ray instead of the camera!
-I thought it looked weird. -You thought? Since when--?
Never mind.
There's no time to argue. You need to call Volt.
[yelling] What? I didn't catch that.
-I said, you need to call Volt! -Who?
Volt! Volt!
Oh, Volt.
I don't know if that's such a great idea. He seemed pretty busy.
-I don't wanna bother the guy. -Listen to me--
Besides, how hard can it be to reverse this? I'll do it myself.
No.
Listen to me!
I did it! I did it! Who the mouse?
You didn't make me bigger! You made yourself smaller!
Huh? [whimpers]
This is bad. Very bad.
The shrink ray must have landed on the table when you miniaturized yourself.
There's no way we can reach it.
-And we wouldn't know how to reverse it. -I could figure it out.
I won't even respond to that. Our only chance is to call Volt.
Your phone.
You're leaning on it.
[laughs]
That's ridiculous. How could I lean on a--?
-You're right. Help me climb up. -No offense, Trap,
-but maybe you should let me do it. -Please.
-I know how to use my own phone. -Like you knew how to use the shrink ray?
Give me a boost.
Hello?
-Who's calling? -Volt, it's me, Geronimo!
-Hello? Who's there? -Volt! Volt!
Kids playing pranks. Nothing better to do. Don't call here again!
-[line disconnects] -[both sigh]
[cell phone rings]
There's a message coming in!
-Can you read it? -[trembling] I'm trying!
"Why do dogs run in circles?
Because it's hard to run in squares."
[laughing]
Nice.
[both grunt]
Oh, no. I'll be right there.
I have to go to the police station.
There's been a break-in at the cracker factory. They took everything.
New Mouse City is crackerless. Come, Matilda.
Uh, you can't. My uncle is on his way. Just wait a couple of minutes.
If Geronimo had something to show me, he'd be here.
What if I leave Matilda? You could watch her while I'm away.
When I come back, perhaps Geronimo will be here.
-Sure. -Sure.
Matilda, stay.
Well, at least she's a good dog.
[barks]
[loud crash]
Being tiny has its advantages. One marshmallow could feed us for a week.
Trap, stay focused. We have to get upstairs.
Benjamin and Pandora can help us.
Right. No problem-o.
Don't say that until you know what we're up against.
We have to get there without getting squashed.
Heh. You're forgetting,
I was 3rd runner up in the New Mouse City junior tag championships. [chuckles]
I think I'll be okay.
[groans]
-Little push? -[sighs]
[grunting]
-[Trap] Put your back into it! -My back's into it!
-Maybe this won't be as hard as I thought. -[man over PA] Lunch time.
[clamoring]
-Get back inside! -No, we can dodge them.
Like in that video game where you dodge stuff?
What's that game called? Dodge Mouse? Dodgey Pants?
-Trap! -Dodgerama?
Trap, forget it. Let's go.
Uh-oh.
[screams]
From now on, you do what I say. And I say we wait until they pass.
Now let's go.
[both breathing heavily]
We made it.
[panting] Yes.
How are we going to call the elevator? The button is way up there.
Hmm.
I got it! I need a trampoline and two trained parrots!
One trained parrot.
As we have neither, I don't think that will work. However...
This may prove useful. Help me get this off the floor.
One of us can use this to wrap around our hands and feet and scale the wall.
The only question is, who's going to do it?
-I'll do it. -Are you sure?
Sure, the Trap-meister can handle anything.
I can-- [grunts] Just a sec.
Oh, for Pete's sake. [sighs] I'll do it.
[whimpers]
Here goes.
You're doing great, coz. Whatever you do, don't fall!
Thank you as always, Trap.
No problem. We can jump it.
Just like we could avoid the stomping feet, right?
Perhaps there's something we can use as a bridge.
One. Two. Three.
Whee!
Your turn.
Come on, it's easy. You can do it. Count of three. One...
[screaming]
[groaning]
You were supposed to count to three.
[Trap] We made it.
[both scream]
[barking]
No one's answering at the studio!
[groans]
He said he was getting a high-def DVD.
Professor Volt has the high-def camera. Maybe he went to Volt's.
[line rings]
-Volt speaking. -Hi, it's Benjamin.
-We're looking for my uncle. -Haven't seen him.
Matilda, no!
Sorry, but it's the truth.
No, I was talking to-- Never mind.
Oh, I did see Trap, though.
Get away. [groans]
He took the camera and was bringing it to-- Huh. Wait a minute.
The camera is still here. He must have taken... Ooh! my experimental shrink ray!
Trap with a shrink ray?!
[yells] Great gouda!
Don't worry. I'm on it.
-We've got a problem. -[Pandora] You're telling me?
[screams]
Trap has Volt's shrink ray.
We have to find him before he does something Trap-like.
If we leave her, think what she'll do to the office.
We'll have to take her with us. Come on!
[groaning] Come on!
Forget it. It's a chance we'll have to take.
[screams]
Thanks.
[Ben] Look.
Benjamin! Pandora!
Guys! Down here! Guys!
There's a dog in there. She's wild, so, please don't let her out.
-Benjamin! Pandora! Down here! -Benjamin! Pandora! Down here!
[Trap] They were our last hope.
We'll have to get used to being one inch tall forever.
I'm gonna need all new clothes.
[vacuum stops]
Look. This is our chance. If we can get inside, we can e-mail Volt.
[giggles]
We did it! We did it!
[barks, then sniffs]
[gulps] Um, we're not out of the woods yet.
Uncle G? Trap?
Hey, cool camera.
That's not a camera. This is Volt's shrink ray.
Which means...
Uncle G and Trap could've been miniaturized.
-They could be in this room. -We could have already squashed them.
-Don't say that. -Sorry, but we have to be really careful.
-They're probably in this building. -We'll never find them without help.
We'd better call Volt.
[growling]
This looks like the end, coz. We had some good times.
Don't give up yet. There's gotta be a way out of this.
Wait. I have an idea. Do your Pepperjack impression.
I'm touched, but are you sure this is the time for my comedy stylings?
-Just do it! -[In Pepperjack voice] Uh, easy, girl.
Don't-- Don't eat us.
It worked! Now tell her to sit.
[in normal voice] Why sit? Why not stay? Or maybe fetch.
Trap!
Oh, all right. [as Pepperjack] Sit, girl!
[as Trap] How is she able to hear me? No one else can.
Dogs have exceptional hearing. Tell her to lie down.
[as Pepperjack] Lie down.
Climb on her. Hurry.
-Are you sure you know what you're doing? -No.
If I can just figure out how to steer this thing.
[Geronimo] Good girl.
[Trap] Oh, careful! Go left! Left! Right!
[Geronimo] I'm getting the hang of it.
-There's one problem. -What?
The door is closed. How're we going to get out of here?
Um... Oh!
-Drive her over to that suit of armor. -My 16th century armor? Why?
-Trust me. -Okay, but I can't imagine why--
-[as Pepperjack] Attack. -No!
Trap, what are you doing?!
Trying to save our hides!
Oh, no! No! Bad doggie. Bad, bad doggie!
[as Trap] Hang on!
[as Pepperjack] Giddy up.
My shrink ray! Oh, thank heavens it's okay.
What about my uncle?
[stammers] Oh. Right. I'm sure he's fine, too.
-You think he and Trap got miniaturized? -With Trap involved, anything's possible.
I suggest you find them right away.
This is the maximizing ray. Very easy to use. Just point and click.
She got out! This just gets worse and worse!
[both screaming]
[barking]
[Geronimo] Easy, girl!
Professor Volt's not here! Now what do we do?
Ah!
Bad dog! Bad dog!
[screams]
Volt! Down here! Volt!
Volt! It's me, Geronimo!
Volt!
[gasps] Benjamin, come quick! It's Geronimo and Trap!
[exhales] Thank goodness. I thought we'd be stuck like that forever.
Now we just have to give Pepperjack his dog back and show him that DVD of Shadow.
Boy, I sure learned my lesson.
I'm gonna pay attention to what I'm doing and not play with things that aren't mine.
Oh, hey, cool snow cone machine!
That's not a snow cone machine! That's a--
--brain switching device.
[device powers down]
What happened?
[barks and pants]
No!
[barks]
Bad Trap! Bad Trap!
With this evidence,
the police have arrested Shadow for the recent string of robberies.
When did Volt say he'd be able to get the brain switching device working again?
Tomorrow, at the latest.
How about a snack? I'm starving.
And none of that dog food stuff. I want a cheeseburger.
We should go for a car ride. I love a car ride.
I like to stick my head right out of the window.
And then the park. I love the park.
