(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
Night, Tom.
Here's to a better tomorrow.
(DOOR SLAMMING)
NARRATOR: Things were slow, real slow.
But a good sleuth always stays alert,
on the lookout, his eyes peeled.
Yeah, it had been slow, for a while.
This would explain why business had been so slow.
Another detective agency
had set up shop right outside their door.
And they were stealing Tom and Jerry's clients.
The cat and mouse detectives, were ready to give Butch a piece of their minds.
As soon as it was their turn.
Here you go.
Welcome to the Cat & Squirrel Detective Agency.
Let me guess. You're missing a dish.
Yeah, that's right.
What's it look like?
Well, it's blue, shaped like, uh...
Dish?
This cat's good.
(MACHINE WHIRRING UP)
We'll need a kibble sample and...
A DNA sample.
We'll analyze the data, generate a hypotenuse and have an answer in...
36 hours.
36 hours?
What do I do until then?
Eat out, I don't know.
And payment in advance.
All this technology ain't cheap.
Oh. Hey, Tom.
Jer.
Sorry.
NARRATOR: Sure, he was slick as a greased up bana on a Slip 'N Slide,
but if this fast-talking gumshoe and his bushy-tailed friend
thought they were going to set up shop
on the cat and mouse detectives' front step...
(YAWNING)
They had another thing coming.
You always let this guy do your talking?
NARRATOR: Ah, this cream puff wasn't so tough.
Oh yeah?
(YOWLING)
Ow.
Why, I oughta...
Extra, extra! Read all about it!
Madame Beta burgled!
Fancy fish fleeced after her treasure chest stolen.
And aquatic A-Lister like her
could use our high tech help, at, uh, double our usual fee.
Boys, boys.
There's no need for violence.
What say we settle our little dispute with a contest?
We'll put our state of the art technology
up against your...
You.
The team that solves the case is the winner.
The loser finds another line of work.
Fair?
My name is Madame Beta.
And this is my butler.
The front door was never unlocked.
We don't know how the thief got in
or out.
The butler didn't do it, mouse.
Don't even think about it, cat.
It's all very upsetting.
The theft happened while I was summering at the beach.
The help was cleaning the main residence.
When I returned,
my treasure chest was gone!
(SCREAMING)
That treasure chest has been in the family for ages.
Who would do such a thing?
(DOOR OPENING)
Have no fear,
the Cat & Squirrel Detective Agency is here.
(SCREAMING)
(MACHINE WINDING UP)
What does that do?
The WhoDunnit 3000
examines the suspects in the room.
Are we suspects?
Everyone's a suspect.
(MACHINE POWERING UP)
(BEEPING)
(GROWLING)
(NERVOUS LAUGHING)
Everyone but him.
Congratulations, pal.
Next, we'll need to analyze some data.
Very interesting.
And?
And I should have the results for you in...
36 hours.
They're very impressive.
Well, detectives,
where are you in your investigation?
NARRATOR: The cat and mouse detectives, didn't need fancy gadgets.
Their instincts were telling them everything they needed to know.
If only they spoke the same language.
Quiet, cat.
Madame's takin' her afternoon nap.
NARRATOR: Suddenly, Jerry had more questions than answers.
If the bushy-tailed squirrel never left the front door,
why were his prints on the window ledge?
And what's this?
More acorn shells?
Maybe it was coincidence
or maybe the squirrel had been there before.
(SCREAMING)
I said quiet, cat.
One more peep from you, and it's curtains, you got me?
That's odd, the window's always closed.
Madame don't like drafts.
(SCREAMING)
Maybe youse didn't hear me the first time.
So let me repeat myselfs.
One more peep from you, and it's curtains.
(SOBBING)
-Shh. -(SCREAMING)
(DOOR OPENING)
(GROWLING) I think it's about time
you boys scram.
(SCREAMING)
(BUBBLING)
Shh.
NARRATOR: The squirrel was looking like the number one suspect.
Extra, extra, read all about it!
Cat and squirrel detectives,
solve the case of the stolen treasure chest.
NARRATOR: Tom and Jerry lost the bet,
and their jobs.
So Butch and that mangy squirrel had won,
but something wasn't sitting right.
(SIGHING)
(KNOCKING ON THE DOOR)
NARRATOR: And then it hit like a giant pie to the face.
(JET ENGINE ROARING)
That squirrel was no ordinary squirrel.
He was a flying squirrel.
Those prints on the window ledge were starting to make sense.
Pieces were coming together like a pre-school puzzle.
Next time you spy on someone,
leave narrator guy at home.
You got nothin' on us.
MAN: It's a bird.
WOMAN: It's a plane.
CHILD: It's a mouse ridding on flying squirrel,
wearing goggles and an aviator's cap.
So we stole things, big deal.
Then we charge people we stole from to return the stuff.
But now it's time for the zero to take a fall.
(CRASHING)
(SIGHING)
Phew.
Nice job, gumshoes.
That cat and squirrel
won't be cheating the people of Tolucaville, no more.
MADAME BETA: Oh, my treasure!
I would have paid anything to get my treasure chest back.
Thank you, detectives.
NARRATOR: There'd never been a dime in that chest.
But it was worth more than gold to Madame Beta.
Some things are just priceless.
Yeah, well, you ain't heard the last of me.
