## Synopsis

In this third season of "Peabody's Jamming Adventures," Mr. Peabody and Sherman take Donald Duck and Daisy Duck on Emperor Sniffy's eighth outing. Sniffy gets into trouble over one con too many and allows his former team to take him on another bout of brattiness. In anger, his wife Kaitlin leaves for the Pawnee Bath House—and encounters Troopmaster Tristian Trout who has recruited her to help him rescue young Mogwai Marbles and his eagle Ava from the ruthless poacher Carma Geddon, all of which proves that family is the greatest mission of all.

## Plot

In a framing device, dog genius Mr. Peabody introduces himself, his boy Sherman and the WABAC machine to the viewers, and then proceeds to tell the time-travel story.

One morning in Boise City, Oklahoma in the year 2009, a young boy named Mogwai Marbles is told by his Boy Scout leader, Troopmaster Tristian Trout, about a trapped White Bellied Sea Eagle called Ava, who is trapped on top of Autograph Rock and that he is the only one who can set her free. Tristian takes Mogwai to the cliff and remains below as Mogwai climbs up to help Ava. After climbing the cliff, Mogwai rescues the eagle by cutting the ropes keeping her restrained to the ground. In the process, he is accidentally knocked off the cliff, but Ava swoops down and catches him on her back just before he hits the ground. Befriending Ava, Mogwai is taken on a ride through the air before been taken to her nest in the Shawnee National Forest, where she shows to him her three eggs that are close to hatching and gives to him a feather by her as a token of gratitude for freeing her, also learning that Ava is a widow, as her mate had been killed by poachers. Later, Mogwai wants to rescue a muskrat but falls in a pit-trap by wanted local poacher Carma Geddon, who arrives on the scene in his highly-destructive Water Rover vehicle to capture her game. Finding Mogwai, she sees him and helps him out of the pit to and allows him to go free, until she notices the eagle's feather in the boy's backpack. Carma is instantly drawn to it, for she knows that to capture such a grandiose bird would increase her fur coat collection of which she is obsessed, with feathers as an addition. After Carma reveals that she was the one who killed Ava's mate and demands Mogwai lead her to the eagle, the boy tries to flee, but Carma catches up to him and tosses the boy's backpack into a river to make it look as if he was devoured by alligators when the Rangers come looking for him.

As Carma drives back to her hideout with Mogwai, Tristian sees the abduction and emails a rescue mission assignment to the Honeymoon Helpers agency in Tulsa. Our actual heroes, Emperor Sniffy and Lady Kaitlin are appreciating their marriage on a hilltop. Just as they are about to kiss, Sniffy notices a distant bacon pop stand at the bottom of the hill. Sniffy interrupts his kiss with Kaitlin as he drops down to snag a pop. However, his hands go right through the stand, unable to touch it. The stand soon disappears, as it is revealed that he was under a simulation at Honeymoon Helpers run by Kaitlin.

Kaitlin gets angry at Sniffy for always interrupting their dates. Sniffy tries to explain himself, saying that his infamous brattiness is a thing of the past, but Kaitlin places Honeymoon Helpers on lockdown unless Sniffy can prove his romance towards her without interruptions. However, when Kaitlin's laptop beeps for Kaitlin's attention, a paper airplane drifts through a cracked window. It was a message from a "group of friends" inviting him to an outing. As for Kaitlin, she has recieved Tristian's email by fax. She then finds Sniffy missing and finds a note from him that he has "gone out for tonight's main course." Sensing that her husband is "always up to something," drives out in her car, the Airhead, to search for him.

Nearby the Tulsa Hills Shopping Center, Sniffy reunites with the group in question: his old teammates Chuckie, Goosey, Ella and Shadowbolt, who were inviting him to a festivity called "The Main Event." Back too are Mr. Peabody and Sherman, who are about to study the same festivity of the year. This time, their guests are Donald Duck and Daisy Duck. Donald must restrain his temper on a dinner date with Daisy, even if the dog boys' antics are eccentric.

Sniffy is afraid that if Kaitlin sees him with his former team, she could accuse him of resuming his life of bratty conning. They seemingly vow to take him home after their mall evening. Once there, however, Sniffy's attention wanders in an arcade, and his teammates peform a con at a bacon pop stand and pay for the snack with a French dollar bill! When the seller tells Sniffy what happened, Sniffy catches the team in the act. He then accuses them of going back on their promise, and they state that they "wanted him to be the same emperor they got rich with." Sniffy tells them that he's no longer a conman and starts to return the box of bacon pops to the stand himself, but his attempts are dashed when Kaitlin enters the mall to discover the commotion, and the seller furiously takes the box while ordering them to leave and never tell anyone they were ever there.

Kaitlin, thinking it was her husband that caused the trouble, accuses him of putting his past selfishness before his present marriage. Sniffy desperately tries to explain what happened and the teammates try to take the blame, but to no avail. Kaitlin, still outraged, drives out of town, taking her fax with her. Meanwhile, Carma still drives Mogwai along, annoyed by his calls for help, and Mogwai's Aunt Lila is worried for her missing nephew.

While having an emergency team meeting with his friends, Sniffy tries to be optimistic and points out that it's a common routine; he does something stupid, Kaitlin goes away out of extreme anger but everything eventually works out. The teammates on the other hand, aren't as confident as he is about the situation. Sniffy sits by the phone and nervously awaits a call from Kaitlin and eventually receives one in which he desperately tries to apologize. But Kaitlin isn't too sure about just putting it behind them. While talking, the phone booth Kaitlin is in is attacked by a hungry muskrat who is lured away by Tristian, who happens to also be dedicated to saving the local species. Kaitlin strikes up a conversation with Tristian and asks if she could possibly assist in aiding the muskrats, and he agrees.

Upon learning that his wife has taken the assignment to the Pawnee Bath House on her own to spite him, Sniffy tells the others his team credo: "When you're friends with Emperor Sniffy, you're friends for life," because Kaitlin is one of them, and they never leave one of their own. And with that, they vow to go out in search of her in the morning. Sniffy tries to telephone his former mentor, Anka, for help, but Anka states that he has to "fight this battle" on his own.

The next day, they come to an aviary service called *Feathered Friends,* which Goosey describes as a place where macaws "travel the country for mail or guidance." There, they meet Ricky, a flamboyant macaw who has heard of Sniffy's past heroics and offers to "do anything for a celebrity." Eventually, they reach Pawnee, but Ricky breaks his back, so they take him to a clinic, and Goosey reserves a cabin next door, While looking through binoculars from the cabin, Goosey spots Kaitlin on the back of a muskrat. Sniffy, Mr. Peabody and Sherman find Kaitlin at the Pawnee Bath House, hoping for amends, but Kaitlin says that she is needed here. Sherman is disappointed that the gang came a long way for nothing, and Sniffy encounters Tristian, who he thinks has stolen Kaitlin from him, and attempts to fight him. Tristian assures him that he only summoned either of them to help save Mogwai. Shocked at hearing about the kidnapping in general, Sniffy offers to join them on the rescue mission, hoping he would win Kaitlin back.

At Carman's hunting lodge in Tecumseh, Carma tries threatening Mogwai into revealing Ava's location, at one point negotiating a fifty-fifty split between the money he would earn from the eagle, but Mogwai refuses. This gets him thrown in a cage in a room with several of McLeach's captured animals. Cody and the animals attempt to get the keys to the door, but are thwarted by Donnie, Carma's loyal pet snake.

The following day, the teammates wonder where their emperor is, and Goosey sends Ricky to find Sniffy. Back in Boise, a ranger gives Mogwai's chewed backpack to the tearful Lila, but assures her that her nephew's body isn't found, which can be easily faked. Back at her lodge, Carma overhears the rangers talking over the radio about the missing Mogwai and call off the search for him. After realizing she still needs to get the eagle's location from the boy, Carma decides to eat some eggs. Naturally, this excites Donnie, who sneaks away with a few of her eggs while Carma tries to figure out a way to make Mogwai give up the eagle's location, much to her chagrin. When Donnie successfully steals all of Carma's eggs, she suddenly realizes the eagle's eggs are Mogwai's weakness before she can beat him with her toolbox.

Meanwhile, one of Carma's captive animals, a stir-crazy Jamaican toucan named Zoboo, accidentally escapes from his cage and snatches the keys, only to be chased by Donnie. Carma arrives, arms herself with her dreaded gun, the Black Rhino, and throws Mogwai outside, telling him that over the radio, she heard that someone else had shot and killed Ava instead of her. As Mogwai runs away, Carma loudly tells Donnie that Ava's eggs won't survive without her, which, as planned, inspires Mogwai to run off to the nest.

Mr. Peabody, Sherman, Sniffy, Kaitlin and Tristian overhear this, and the troopmaster tells them where Mogwai is going, and Sniffy calls his team to meet him at the Shawnee National Forest. At Ava's nest, the five heroes try to warn Mogwai that he has been followed; just as they do, Carma arrives and captures Mogwai, along with Ava, Tristian, and Kaitlin. Mr. Peabody, Sherman and Sniffy are left stranded on the cliff, where they manage to protect the eggs from Donnie, whom Carma lowers to the nest to eat said eggs, by swapping them out with smooth rocks. Ricky then arrives at the nest, at which point Sniffy convinces him to sit on the eagle's eggs.

On their way toward Carma's vehicle, Mr. Peabody, Sherman and Sniffy encounter the teammates and tell them of their rescue mission. The teammates are appalled to learn of the ensuing eagle hunt in general, and they all board Shadowbolt's wagon to sprint to the rescue. As night falls, Carma takes Mogwai and Ava to Turner Falls, where she ties Mogwai up and uses her Water Rover's added crane to dangle him over the rapids where a swarm of alligators lie. Team Sniffy follows and disables Carma's vehicle, preventing the use of its crane from putting Mogwai at risk. Carma then tries to shoot the rope holding Mogwai above the water. To save Mogwai, the team tricks Donnie into ramming into Carma, sending them both into the water. The alligators turn their attention from Mogwai to Carma, while behind them, the damaged rope holding Mogwai finally snaps. Although Carma manages to fight off the alligators, only Donnie reaches the shoreline and does not want to see Carma again. Carma goes over a much larger waterfall to her death.

Sniffy dives into the water to save Mogwai but fails. Tristian and Sniffy free Ava in time to retrieve Mogwai and Sniffy just when they begin to fall over the waterfall. The eagle sees Sniffy and Cody and rescues them. Everyone regroups in Boise City, where Lila naturally welcomes her nephew back with great relief. As Lila asks how she can repay the team, Kaitlin tells Mogwai that now he no longer have biological parents, she is about to adopt him so she and Sniffy will give their gold-&-glory balace to Mogwai upon retiring, allowing him to move into Tulsa as his new home. Lila accepts them as Mogwai's new family and tells him they will always have each other no matter what he chooses. As for the birds present, Ricky would be Ava's new mate to help raise the hatched chicks, and Carma's freed victims would serve *Feathered Friends* in his stead. Anka, who has arrived on the scene, would show everyone else the way home. Mr. Peabody and Sherman take leave of their duck guests and Team Sniffy. Sniffy and Kaitlin take their extended team home, and Ava flies off into the moonlight.

Back to the framing device, Mr. Peabody and Sherman confess their love for each other, and the impressed dog remarks that "every dog should have a boy."

## Trivia

### Story Behind the Story

In the beginning, there was *The Rescuers,* which didn't always have Madame Medusa for the villain; it once considered reusing the *101 Dalmatians* character Cruella De Vil and mention a plot to make a fur coat out of a polar bear, but that idea was scrapped because Cruella from *101 Dalmatians* had nothing to do with *The Rescuers.* As for this story, I, Jeff Meredith, was desperate to acknowledge my fans' ensuing Sniffy mania, so I looked for last minute source materials before I completely run out of plotlines.

### Peabody's side

With said Sniffy plotlines waning, I resorted to such last minute crossover characters as Donald and Daisy.

### Connections

* 2009 saw the release of *Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Choo Choo Express*.
