 	SCENE 1 	In the yard, Prairie Dawn practices a pageant song on the piano, and is confused when a voice-over announces "The Adventures of Nick and Nora Chicken." Prairie's piano vanishes right after it is announced that today's episode is "The Case of the Missing Piano."
 	SCENE 1cont'd 	"Don't panic, little musical girl," says a detective who arrives with a chicken in a sequins evening gown, "We'll find your piano." He introduces himself as Nick Chicken (Kevin Kline), and the chicken next to him as his sister, Nora (a take off of Nick and Nora Charles from The Thin Man). They agree to help Prairie out for a price (chicken feed, of course). They look around the yard listening for anything that sounds like a piano, but Nick keeps bumping into things.
 	SCENE 1cont'd 	Suddenly, they hear a musical instrument being played, but it's a saxophone played by a tiger. They also falsely accuse a monkey playing a guitar, and finally spot a farmer pushing the missing piano along. The farmer says he mistook it for his tractor (it's his first day on the job).

While Nick asks Mr. Handford if there are any missing chickens around, Nora suddenly vanishes! When Nick finds this out, he panics because he can't work without his sister (they're a team) and starts half-sobbing, half-clucking.
 	SCENE 2cont'd 	The same voice-over announces the presence of Colambo, who is now on the case. Colambo is confused when he finds out that Nora is the "sister" of Nick, who insists that he is also a chicken ("I'm one of the biggest chickens you'll ever meet!"). He shows Colambo the pictures of himself and his adopted family (chickens), then they argue over which of them is on the case until Mr. Handford suggests they cooperate and work together. They agree to do so, and leave Hooper's.
