04x03 - The Case of the Stinky Swamp

[bunniefuu]

Welcome to CLADE, the Covert League

of Animal Detective Experts.

Sam Snow.

Kit Casey.

The Creature Cases.

"The Case of the Stinky Swamp."

Bo-Bok!

So then I said,

"What about the other one?"

Huh?

Ugh!

Huh? Ew!

What is that awful smell?

It's coming from over there.

Ja. Ja! Ja!

It's them.

Huh?

You skunks are stinking up our swamp.

But we haven't sprayed anything today.

Then why does it smell

like stinky socks around here?

Phew, that is smelly. But our stink spray

is completely different.

Smell the difference?

No.

Well, we can.

And we definitely did not

make the other smell.

I wonder who did.

Mmm!

Ugh!

Kit, not to be rude, but your lunch

is the stinkiest thing I've ever smelled.

I know, right? I love cheese like this.

The stinkier, the better.

-Mmm!

-Ew!

Come on, Sam.

I bet you'd like it if you tried it.

Open up. Here comes the Clu-Bot.

-Come on.

-Huh? Kit, look. The CLADE crest.

Director Scratch must have a case for us.

Ew.

Mmm.

Agents, apologies

for making you work through lunch.

You're, um, having cheese for lunch too?

Of course. I love fromage Fridays.

But we have more important things at hand.

There's a mysterious odor

in the South American wetlands.

And it's causing a stink, so to speak.

The Stinkwells were in the swamp

testing some new gear,

and now they're taking the blame.

Something stinks

and it's not the Stinkwells?

That is serious.

It's up to you to figure out

what's making that awful smell.

Don't worry, director. We're on it.

Good luck, Agents. Bo-Bok! Mmm!

Now arriving at destination biome.

South American Wetlands.

Ugh! Something does smell off.

You skunks, get out.

- What in the woolly world?!

Go stink up somewhere else.

We swear. It wasn't us.

This smell is a stinky stench.

Our smell is more of a fragrant musk.

Uh, excuse me.

-Sam.

-Kit.

We're from CLADE,

and we're here to get this sorted out.

There's an easy way to figure out

if the Stinkwells caused the smell.

Here. You can use these

to swab your tails.

I'll swab a sample of the mystery smell.

Ugh! It's really stinky.

I thought you said

the stinkier, the better.

I did.

I don't mind the smell at all.

I was just, um

taking in more of that stinky goodness.

Hm

Let's see how the two smells compare.

Not a match. The Stinkwells

did not make this new smell.

Sorry we blamed you two.

We're just desperate

to get rid of this awful smell.

It's ruining our home.

Don't worry.

We'll put a stop to this smell

just as soon as we find out

what's causing it.

We can stay and help you.

Not to brag, but we are stink experts.

Plus, we want to see

who's behind this iconic odor.

We are big fans.

Ja.

I'm glad you're all enjoying the smell,

but it's making me wish

I couldn't smell at all.

We can help with that too.

Try this. Our new and improved

"de-stink-ifier" mask.

Gimme. Gimme. Gimme.

It blocks out bad smells

and turns them into delightful ones.

That's perfect.

I don't smell the stink at all.

But I do smell roses,

apple pie, and-- Ooh! --citrus bonanza.

Meanwhile, I've narrowed our suspects down

to the three smelliest swamp dwellers.

We'll have to track down each suspect

and get a stink sample.

Here. These hoverboards

will help us move through the mud faster.

Ooh! Thanks, Stinkwells.

Come on. Let's find that stinker.

We're looking for our first suspect.

A hoatzin, AKA a stink bird.

Their stomachs

break down food really slowly,

which makes an awful smell.

It's like they're making sauerkraut

in their bellies.

I think I smell one now.

-Ew!

-Hm?

I mean, great. There she is.

Hello there.

We're from--

What just happened?

Hoatzins are easily startled,

but they aren't good at flying.

So they just kind of fall off

whatever they're sitting on.

You have to be gentle

when you approach them.

Hi there.

Don't mean to startle you. We just need--

Okay. New plan.

Everyone grab a swab and cover a branch.

Hello!

Ha, ha!

Ew! So smelly.

I mean, no big deal.

Let's see if the stink bird

is the stink source.

Not a match.

On to the next suspect.

All right,

what animal are we swabbing next?

Actually, we're looking for a plant.

The stinking passionflower.

Oh, we love this flower.

It makes a stink

when you disturb its leaves.

Sounds lovely. So, what's the plan?

We're going to disturb its leaves.

-Hooray!

-Hooray!

Careful, Kit.

That flower looks extremely stinky.

Don't worry, Sam.

The stinkier, the better, right?

Mmm!

Love that flower funk.

Got it.

Huh? Whoa. Whoa!

Kit, are you okay?

I'm fine. Just great.

Not a match.

Mmm!

But I am living for this lemon scent.

Okay, I know the first two suspects

weren't matches,

but that means

it has to be this third one.

Ugh! Ugh!

Please let it be this third one.

What was that?

Nothing.

Oh, look. There he is.

A stink beetle.

Such a big stink from such a small animal.

Very impressive.

Quick! Follow that stink beetle.

Look out!

Ow.

Huh?

Phew. Whoa!

Almost got it.

Huh? Whoa!

Hey, quit following me.

-Did you get a stink sample?

-Yup. It's all over me.

What? How is it not a match?

That was our last suspect!

Don't worry, Sam.

Let's just take a deep breath.

Ugh! Oh, I can't take this anymore!

I want this smell off of me!

Ugh!

This water smells even worse!

Hm. There's some kind of film

on the water.

Looks stinky. And it leads that way.

Is it just me,

or is the smell getting stronger?

Uh, hello!

Of course! It's a skunk frog!

A skunk frog?

Yep! A skunk frog's skin

is covered in super smelly slime

to protect themselves from predators.

They're the smelliest frogs in the world,

and they are extremely rare.

-Can we have your autograph?

-Uh, sure?

It's a match! He's our stinker, all right.

But I thought skunk frogs

only lived in the rainforest.

What are you doing here?

My wife laid her eggs on land,

like all mama skunk frogs do.

It's my job to carry our babies

back to the stream where we live.

Dad! Are we there yet?

Not yet.

But I took a wrong turn and got lost.

Could you give me directions

to the nearest stream?

We'll do you one better.

-There you are!

-Hi!

-Mm!

-I was worried!

Mommy!

Thanks for getting us back home. See ya!

Another creature case

-Closed!

-Closed!

Bye!

- Thank you!

See you later!

Phew!

What a smell! I think we have

some air freshener around here somewhere.

Wait!

Ugh!

What is that smell?

Oopsie! We forgot to tell you.

The mask also turns nice smells

into stinky ones.
