## Plot

During the beginning of the episode, Rolly is occupied gnawing on Bob's daily newspaper, which Bob then retrieves from him and expresses Rolly's continual chewing. Afterwards, while reading his paper he unhappily discovers that the Mona Lisa has been mysteriously stolen, which of course he is saddened by as he leaves for work.

Bingo observes the picture on the newspaper as Rolly unintentionally switches the television on by chewing on the remote control. When Bingo conveys his disapproval of this, Rolly explains his constant chewing habit by singing "A Dog's Gotta Chew What A Dog's Gotta Chew." Thereupon a documentary over China is displayed on the television, which explains that the Great Wall of China is the greatest wall in the world, leading Bingo to assume that the "greatest painting in the world," the Mona Lisa, might've been taken there, and the brothers decide to head to China to find the painting for their mission.

Following the two getting ready for the mission and routinely singing "Going on a Mission," while roaming the streets they just so happen to come across a group of people heading off to China, including a cantankerous elder. As Bingo and Rolly hitch a ride with the people off to the airport, poor Hissy falls onto the car as well just before its departure. Bingo and Rolly then board the plane to China (while Hissy is unfortunately packed with the luggage).

As the brothers search the Great Wall of China after arriving, they spot a parade of Dragon Dancers, but suddenly, Rolly runs off to chew on the rods holding up the Chinese Dragon float but Bingo is able to put a stop to this and get back on track with their mission. Once they do they notice a cart and hop into it to get a higher view and resume searching, but their weight causes the cart to uncontrollably speed down the wall. Hissy, who had been chasing after her brothers after ending up in a backpack, sees them dashing around in the cart and tries to wave to get their attention, only to be mistaken for a Maneki-Neko statue and thrown in a box being shipped to their neighbors. Meanwhile, Bingo and Rolly's cart crashes into a pile of boxes in a Chinese market and is flung into the air but luckily the two land in a box of pillows.

Upon getting out, Rolly starts to eye the cane of the cranky old man, seeing it as another stick. Bingo tries to restrain his brother from running off to chew again, but finally simply accepts his brother's habit to do so. When Rolly grips onto the stick , the man irritably shakes him off, dropping his briefcase in the process. And out from the bag comes the stolen Mona Lisa, revealing the tetchy man as the thief. As he is taken away by the police, Bingo and Rolly happily admire the now recovered Mona Lisa, succeeding their mission.

While on the plane back home, Bingo is now embracing Rolly's chewing tendency.

As soon as the pups arrive back at home, Bob is delighted to hear that the famous painting has been rightfully recouped. Hissy has also been able to get back to the house, after the package containing her was brought in. With Bob and all his pets brought back together, he puts the Mona Lisa picture from the newspaper up onto the fridge in celebration, as Bingo and Rolly imagine what an early and enigmatic painting of the five of them might look like.
