Detective Kissyfur

## Synopsis

At Night, a Shadow sneaks around Paddlecab County taking anything He sees, including some acorns, berries, and some food wrappers, then it spots Kissyfur's house. Inside the house, Kissyfur is reading a detective novel featuring the Bruin Brothers (A parody of the Hardy Boys) to His sick father suffering from a cold. Then a knock on the door follows, and Ralph Packrat comes in, asking Gus if anything He found for His collection (A Slingshot and laceless shoe in His mouth) are from the human world or not. Gus says that even though the shoe is too small, It's from the human world and suggests giving the shoe to Gus, So He can place it in the garbage dump outside Paddlecab County, but allows Ralph to keep the Slingshot. As Ralph was about to leave, after dropping the shoe, He spots a Honey Jar, surprised that He didn't know Kissyfur and Gus collects Honey Jars, and wonders what honey tastes like. Kissyfur says they don't, and that the honey is needed for His tea. As a Disappointed Ralph leaves, and Kissyfur continues reading the novel, a shadow absconds with the honey jar. As the night wore on, the shadow goes on a stealing spree; Toot's Family's Cattails, Lennie's Garbage Bin, Duane's Soap Bars, and Archie's Garden Hoe. The Next morning, The Population informs Gus and Kissyfur about the thefts, and Kissyfur, with Toot's assistance, goes to search for the thief, emulating the Bruin Brothers.

The scene turns black and white and the swamp becomes that of a noir detective movie, as Kissyfur and Toot check around Beehonie's garden, (Themed on a community garden) while carefully checking around, so as not to damage the vegetables. But couldn't find any clues. The Two along with Beehonie, go to Duane's home, (Themed on a fancy mansion) and search inside but couldn't find any footprints, thanks to Duane's habit of cleaning. Next, They go to Toot's home, (Themed on a town pond) but could only see small dots on the ground, confusing the two, as Lily and Reed start to worry. Then at Lennie's home, (Themed on a garbage dump) They locate a few droplets of garbage, They follow it, but the trail ran cold. The cubs decide to think things over at the Giant Tree Stump as the scenery returns to the real world, but they return to is colorless environment, when They hear Emmy-Lou (as the town baker) shouting as the thief stole Her Pecan Pies. The Thief got away, as Kissyfur and the others arrive, (with the scenery going back to the real world.) and asked what the thief looks like. Emmy Lou described that the culprit is small as a blade of grass. Nearby, Ralph asks Kissyfur about what's going on. Lennie goes to accuse a bewildered Ralph, but Kissyfur holds back Lennie, as Ralph is called by His Father that lunch is ready. As Ralph heads for home, Lennie berates Kissyfur for letting Ralph go, as Kissyfur says They don't have proof to even accuse Ralph. Determined to prove Ralph is the culprit, Lennie snatches Kissyfur's magnifying glass and follows a trail, and stop when They near unexplored lands. So, Kissyfur decides to have the adults head there to follow the trail tomorrow. At Ralph's home, As He and His family are having lunch, Ralph starts to wonder what's going on with Kissyfur, and the others.

Meanwhile, near the Gators' home, the shadow is seen inside the darkness of a nearby barrel and gets ready to steal until it spots the gators sleeping. without hesitation, the thief steals Jolene's Wig, seconds before the gators wake up, shocked as Jolene declares to find the thief and eat Him. On the way home, Kissyfur and the cubs is confused at the small dot prints and lack of evidence. as Lennie still thinks it's Ralph or one of His parents who is the thief. Kissyfur still refuses to believe, as He goes inside His home. While Kissyfur thinks about who the thief is, (With Kissyfur's room turning into a colorless office) looking at the drawings of everyone in Paddlecab representing the suspects, He gets an idea to trap the culprit. As the sun was starting to set, with the color returning, Kissyfur uses a makeshift wagon to carry a cardboard box to an isolated part of the swamp, passing by Ralph, who is curious about what's inside the box. Kissyfur hears the gators coming, and They hide to avoid detection. After a few moments, Kissyfur and the others set the trap, and they hide behind some bushes and get ready. Moments later, a curious Ralph starts to approach the box, after some thinking, He is pounced by the Cubs (with the environment turning colorless after a dust cloud covers the screen) demanding their things returned. Soon, the Gators return as Jolene demands Her wig returned. The Cubs scatter as Floyd captures Ralph, and the Box slowly moves out of the log.

Back in color, After escaping the gators, Kissyfur and the others realize they forgot about Ralph, and Kissyfur tells His father about the situation. But, knowing that His dad is too sick, Kissyfur goes to Emmy Lou and tells what happened. Minutes later, (Back to its Noir Detective colors) Kissyfur and Emmy Lou, along with Ralph's Parents, Chelsea and Nathan, approach the gators house, and they spot the gators looking around the area. Thanks to some quick thinking from Emmy Lou, Kissyfur sneaks in the Gators' house to find Ralph, who is hanging by a string upside down. Kissyfur frees Him and they run out, as They see a blue packrat go inside a barrel. Kissyfur asks Ralph if the blue packrat, is a friend of his. Ralph answers 'No' as the rogue Packrat sneaks out with the box. Realizing the blue packrat is the real thief, Kissyfur goes after Him, but can't keep up. Ralph gets an idea and uses His slingshot, to knock over one of the soap bars, making the thief slip and crash into a tree, and the stolen goods go flying. Jolene retrieves Her wig as Kissyfur grabs the box. they go to leave, but are cut off by Floyd, but Jolene tells Floyd to help Her grab the thief, as a bewildered Floyd complies. Kissyfur goes to the barrel, and locates all the stolen things. The next morning, as Ralph wakes up for a new day, He hears voices from outside, and (back to colorful reality) He sees Kissyfur and the cubs, who apologize to Ralph for suspecting or wrongly accusing Him for the thefts. Ralph forgives them all as Kissyfur gives Ralph a jar of honey. A curious Ralph asked what was in the box used as a trap, and Kissyfur responds, "My Bruin Brothers mystery novel collection." making Ralph become complexed, then laughs loudly as the screen as the screen turns monochrome, then irises out.
