Episode 304: Humdinger

Mopatop opens the episode by offering a king, a wing (butterfly), or a perfect ding. A box opens and a ding sound is heard. Mopatop says it sounds like the bell on their door.
Puppyduck is rearranging the shelves when Lamont the Sloth arrives to deliver some itches. A humming sound is heard when Lamont enters the store through the front door. Mopatop wonders why the bell didn’t ding. When Lamont leaves the store and opens the door, the humming sound is heard again. It turns out that the sound is coming from the bell. Puppyduck tells Mopatop to take the hum from the bell and put it in the box where the perfect ding is. Then they can place the perfect ding in the bell.
In the loft, Mother Mouse is reading the rodent review and says there is a humdinger on the loose, replacing all the doorbells with hums. Moosey Mouse ask what a humdinger looks like, and Father Mouse says no one knows what she looks like because she wears a disguise. Mother Mouse adds that she wears a disguise that rhymes with "ding". Moosey Mouse notices the shop’s bell has been humming today and goes down to the shop to find the humdinger. 
Meanwhile, Mopatop notices that the king is wandering around the shop, and tells him he should be back behind the door when customers need his help. The king quickly runs away when Mopatop tells him to. At that moment, the humming sound is heard again from the door and a queen enters the shop. Puppyduck and Mopatop wonder how the humming sound came back, and they sing about what the bell on their door is supposed to sound like.
The queen asks Mopatop for a king and Mopatop leads her to a door behind which the king is standing. When the door opens, the king is not there. Moosey realizes that "king" rhymes with "ding" and that the king is the humdinger. He sees the king around the shop and shouts that he sees the king. Puppyduck wonders who shouted, when she notices the king by the door with his hand up, making the door hum. The King confesses to being the humdinger, and that she wanted to take the ding from the bell. Mopatop and Puppyduck tell her that they would have given her the dings from her department and she did not have to steal them. The queen decides to take the humdinger instead of a king, and invites her back to the palace where the humdinger can take all the dings there. As the clock rings for the store to close, Mopatop and Puppyduck take the bell to their ding department to fix it.
