## Plot

Chang-Ho's Packard is stolen after he wins an award for it at a car show; can Swoople and Ki-Chouel find the thief?

## Summary

Ki-Chouel, Swoople and Chang-Ho Chouel drive to the car show. Swoople comments on Phil's love of jazz, saying that he has never heard anything else being played in the car. Chang-Ho says that this is because the dial has been stuck for years. Swoople opens a can of soda that has a word puzzle on the lid. When Grandpa looks at the puzzle, he accidentally drives into the wrong lane and forces the Big-Al's truck off the road. They get to the car show and Ki-Chouel accidentally drops the cap under the seat of the car.

When they get to the showroom, many people are admiring Chang-Ho's car. Chang-Ho meets up with an old rival who says that he will win the car show. Just as it is ready to escalate into a fight, they award the "Best in Show" award to Chang-Ho the Great, Big-Al's father comes over to take a picture of the winning Packard. Chang-Ho is excited about winning and tells the Packard they are going fishing tomorrow, closing the garage door.

When he goes to get the Packard back out the next morning, he discovers it missing. They report it stolen to Sid-Jeon who cannot help as the Packard is faraway. Chang-Ho becomes depressed, looking at old pictures of the Packard and at its oil stains.

When Ki-Chouel and Swoople are sitting on the steps outside the house, Ms. Chouel drives up on a motorcycle and tells him that they have some detective work to do (insisting that Swoople call her "Spade"). They begin investigating everyone who admired Chang-Ho's Packard, but they all have alibis. They return home with no new leads. Chang-Ho comes in and asks if they found his Packard. When they say no, he asks if they talked to Big-Al's father. They realize that they forgot about him and try to track him down.

Ki-Chouel spots him the next day driving a car. When he spots them, he drives off in a hurry, losing her scarf in the process. They go to the address on the scarf and the shopkeeper tells them the address of the person who bought the scarf after Swoople pays him five dollars.

When they arrive at the address, they find a red Packard in the garage. They break in thinking that perhaps Big-Al simply repainted it. Ivana returns home just as Swoople turns it on and discovers the radio dial stuck on the same station Chang-Ho's Packard is. Big-Al says that she just happens to love jazz and that sticky dials is a common problem among Packards. She says it doesn't matter anyway as they are on private property. Ki-Chouel, Swoople and Ms. Chouel leave still believing something fishy is going on.

At Pond Porcero, Ms. Chouel, Ki-Chouel and Swoople share a soda and Ms. Chouel flips the lid off the Swoople. Swoople reads off the word puzzle, saying it is the same one that was on the cap he dropped in the car. They rush off back to the garage and Arnold triumphantly pulls the lid from under the seat, proving that the car is Phil's.

Big-Al's father shows up with a can of red spray paint and threatens Ki-Chouel, Swoople and Ms. Chouel. Chang-Ho barges in and fights with Big-Al's father, stopping Big-Al's father from spraying them. In the ensuing aftermath, they discover that Ivana is actually Big-Al all along. He admits he stole the Packard as payback because he had been having a terrible day, compounded by Chang-Ho (in his mind) maliciously driving him off the road. After his parents arrive, Big-Al is struck with remorse. Chang-Ho says he won't press charges... if he paints the Packard green again.

The episode ends with Big-Al getting grounded and being in timeout
