Down at Fraggle Rock.

That's strange, Sprocket.

Ms. Ardath didn't
mentionanything about anyone

picking up furniture at the
innwhile she was on vacation.

-[growls, barks]-[dial tone]

Oh no, I'd better
notcall her long distance.

I think I should go over there.
I am the assistant manager

and it's my jobto keep
an eye on the place.

Huh?

Oh no, I wouldn'twant
you to come with me.

-[whimpers]-Then again,
they are kind of big guys.

-[barks]-[clattering]

Well, if you insist on coming
along, I'd love to have you.

But we've gotta be very
quietwhen we go over there.

[barks softly]

[Fraggles murmuring, snoring]

[Red snores] [Red snores]

Ah! [sighs]

[Red snores, sighs]

[yawns, sighs]

[grunts]

Ahhh!

[clamoring]

Red, Red. What is it?
What's wrong? What? What?

-I've been robbed.-[gasps]

-Robbed?-Somebody
stole my radish bars.

Stole your... Oh, Red.

Nobody would steal your radish bars.
They must be around here somewhere.

No, no, no, no. I put
them in this handkerchief

at the foot of my bed,
and look, they're gone.

-Oh no.-Oh... Lanford?

-What?-Oh.

-[Lanford] Yeah?-Lanford,
you took them.

-You. You did it.
You... Red, Red, Red.

Lanford would not
take your radish bars.

Besides, he can't possibly
reach themfrom where he is.

[grunting] [grunting]

Do you swear on
my Tug-o-Tails trophy

that you didn't take
my radish bars?

Yep.

Hmm. Okay. I guess
you're clean. [sighs]

-[grunts] But... But,
Mokey...-Hmm?

If it wasn't Lanford, then... Thensomebody
must have come into the room

-and stolen them!-Oh.

-But maybe... [grunts, pants]

[grunts] Okay. Which one of
youFraggles stole my radish bars?

[Fraggles clamoring]

Come on. Fess up. Out with it!

Red, Red, Red.
Don't do anything rash.

Me? Do something rash?

All I'm going to do is
questionevery Fraggle in the Rock

until I find the thief. [grunts]

[Lanford growls]

Lanford. Come on. After all,
she did say you were clean.

I suppose.

[Red] Gobo! [grunts]
[Red] Gobo! [grunts]

-You still allergic to
radish bars?-Yeah.

Uh, do you swear
on my Tug-o-Tails

trophythat you didn't
get cured or anything?

Yeah.

-Okay. You're
clean. [grunts]-Hmm?

[sniffs] Of course, I'm clean.

[Wembley] Wow, Boober.

These bars are fantastic.
Do you have any more?

I'm sorry, Wembley. That's all I
couldget my hands on right now.

I'd really love another one.

-[Red] Boober
Fraggle!-[yells, whimpers]

-This is unbelievable!-[Boober
stammers]

I'm gonna have you up beforethe
Eminent Council of Sages so fast,

it'll make your head spin.

-What?-[stammers]
But what did I do?

I heard you and Wembley talking
abouthow good the radish bars were.

-Oh. [laughs]-Radish bars?

We were talking
about soap bars. See?

-Soap bars?-Yeah.

Boober's invented
thesefantastic magic soap bars.

-Show her. Show her.-Okay.

-What do you see?-Nothing.
What's the point?

Now... Now get readyfor
something really magical.

-[Boober]
Okay.-[Wembley titters]

[laughs] Here we go.

- Ta-da!-See? The water makes it appear.
- Ta-da!-See? The water makes it appear.

Thanks to this, I'll neverget
your laundry mixed up again.

Brilliant, isn't it?

Do you two swear on my Tug-o-Tails
trophythat you didn't take my radish bars?

Why would I take yourswhen
I've got a bunch of my own?

Yeah. I mean, after all, you
know what sweets do to you.

They make you jittery,
then they make you tired.

Okay, you're
clean. You're clean.

Then they make your
tail swelland rot your teeth.

And they give you
stomachachesand headaches...

[sighs]

Oh, Red! There you are.
I've been looking for you.

How's it going?

[sighs] Everybody swearsthey
didn't take my radish bars.

Aw! It's gonna be okay.

Well, it'd be betterif
I had my radish bars.

Yeah, radish bars. Mm, mm.

one right now.-Yeah.

Red, Red. I havea little
surprise for you. [chuckles]

What?

-Radish bars?-Yeah. [laugh]

-Where did you get
them?-I found them.

-You found them?-Yeah.

-Where?-Under my
bed. I forgot I had 'em.

-Imagine that.
[laughs]-Yeah. Imagine that.

Aw! Red, don't feel bad.

Listen, one of these days,
your radish bars will turn up too.

And then you're gonna feel
very sillythinking they were stolen.

Well, I won't feel silly,
because they were stolen.

Aw, come on, now.

Let's just eat theseyummy,
delicious radish bars.

-Wait a minute.-Huh?

I can use these as
baitto catch the thief.

But, Red, there is no thief.

Oh yes, there is.

And I'm gonna catchthe
sneaky crook. [sighs]

Here. You keep your
eyeson those two guys.

I'm glad we checked that out,
Sprocket. I've never seen them before.

I'm glad we checked that out,
Sprocket. I've never seen them before.

I'll get the police.

-[Sprocket panting]-[line
rings, clicks]

Hello, Sergeant
Dwornik? Doc here.

I'd like to report a theftby two
very suspicious-looking characters

at the Captain's Innacross
the street from me.

-[howls]-Sprocket.

Sprocket, come
back. Wait. Sprocket!

-[Lanford] Oh
brother.-[Red] There.

Isn't it beautiful?

Hmm? [gasps] Oh, Red!

What a beautiful,
uh... [stammers]

chandelier?

-It's supposed to
be a trap.-Oh, a trap.

A... A trap?

Yeah, if someonetries
to sneak into the room,

this big net will
fall on whoever it is.

Well, gee, Red, you've
put nets everywhere. [titters]

I mean, I love radish
barsas much as you do,

but don't you thinkyou're
taking this a little too far?

But it's not just the radish bars,
Mokey. It's the principle of the thing.

Nobody steals anything
from meand gets away with it.

Nobody steals anything
from meand gets away with it.

Oh, all right, all right,
but how do you even know

the thief will come back?

Well, anyone who could steal radish
barshas gotta be hooked on them.

-You know what I think?-What?

I think you're the one that's
hookedon catching the thief.

[groans] I'm gonna set up

-the rest of my
plan.-Tsk. [sighs]

[clears throat]

[loudly] I have just placedtwo
delicious radish bars by my bed.

And now, I'm
going to take a nap.

If anybody comes into the room, I
will be asleep, and I won't see them.

[sighs] I don't believe this.

[groans]

-[yawns]-[hammock creaking]

[snoring]

-[Lanford
snores]-[Mokey murmurs]

[creaking] [creaking]

[Red snores]

Oh no! I've been robbed again.

-[grunts]-What? You're kidding.

Well, gee, the... the trap
hasn't been triggered.

-Look.-Aw!

That dumb thingprobably
doesn't work anyway.

[Mokey shrieks, laughs]

Now I'm really mad.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, Red,
I'm sorry for laughing.

But you look so
funnycaught in your own trap.

[Red groans]

Oh, here, uh... uh...
- Um... I just don't get it.

How could anybody get into the roomwithout
triggering the trap? Unless he...

Or she... were in the room already.
Or she... were in the room already.

[Mokey muttering]

Mokey, I've got
something to ask you.

Hmm? What?

-Um, please don't
get mad, but...-Okay.

Did you take my radish bars?

[sighs] Red! Of course
not. I'm your friend.

Oh. Oh, good.

-Mm.-I didn't think you did.

-[chuckles]-Mm-mmm.

But... would you swearon
my Tug-o-Tails trophy?

[gasps] Red! How
can you ask me that?

No. [scoffs]

But, Mokey... [stammers]

I'm sorry. Come back, Mokey!

Oh.

I guess it's time for
plan number two.

[sighs]

Gobo. Gobo!

[panting] Gobo,
I need your help.

My radish bars have
been stolen again.

Oh. Who do you suspect?

Well, I haven't got a
clue, but I do have a plan.

[whispers] I'm gonna get more
radish barsand I'm gonna set a trap.

[whispers] I'm gonna get more
radish barsand I'm gonna set a trap.

Oh. Yeah, but where are you gonna
getthe radish bars to bait the trap?

Well, I figured from
Wembley's supply.

He wouldn't mindif I
borrow two small ones.

Hey, don't you think
you should ask, Red?

Well, I will... uh,
later. [chuckles]

Gobo! [grunts] Gobo. [whimpers]

-Gobo, you in there?-[muffled]
I'm over here, Red.

Where?

Here.

Oh, Gobo. That's a
fantastic rock disguise.

Yeah. Now go back
inside. I'll hide here.

And if someone triesto
sneak into your room,

-I'll see them.-Right.

Oh, I wonder who it is?

Tsk. [sighs] This
could be a long wait.

I know a great way
to pass the time:

with a postcardfrom
my Uncle Travelling Matt.

Wiseacres.

"Dear Nephew Gobo,"

[Matt] Though I usually havea
perfect sense of direction,

the other day, I found myself
confusedby Outer Space.

The other day, I found myself
confusedby Outer Space.

-[grunts]-It was
then that I observed

that the Silly Creaturesuse
strange signposts to help them.

After they look at them, they
know exactly which way to go.

The signposts were everywhere.

Some Silly Creatures
even wear them.

So I decided to see if oneof
these inventions could help me.

A-ha!

-I prepared myself
for a test.-[humming]

My first experimentswith my
direction-finding apparatus,

however, uncovered definite
shortcomingswith rather painful results.

Perhaps I don't needa
direction finder after all.

[Gobo] "Love, your
Uncle Travelling Matt."

Hmm.

It sure is quiet around here.

-Gobo!-[yells]

Someone stole my radish bars!

Shh! No, they didn't.
Red borrowed 'em.

Oh. Well, I want 'em back.

[stammers] Well, you
can't.Oh, not now, anyway.

We're in the middle of a
plan. Can't you see I'm a rock?

[gasps]I knew something was different. Oh!
[gasps]I knew something was different. Oh!

[sighs, clicks tongue]

Gobo! [whimpers]Gobo,
did you see who did it?

-Did you see who it
was, Gobo?-I'm over here.

Oh. Gobo, who was it?

What are you talking about?

My radish bars were just
stolen. Did you see who did it?

Well, nobody went
in or out of your room.

-That's crazy.-Mm.

How could they be stolenif
no one went into the room?

[Gobo] I don't know.

Unless the thief was
already in the room.

Oh, no. No. It couldn't be.

[Gobo] What?

Well, the only one whocould
have taken the radish bars

without having to get inor
out of the room is Mokey.

[gasps] Mokey, a thief?

-I don't believe it.-Well, I
don't want to believe it, either.

-But it all makes sense to
me now.-No. But Mokey...

She was the only
Fragglein the room with me.

And she was the only Fraggle
whodidn't swear on my Tug-o-Tails trophy.

-But, Red... She loves
radish bars as much as I do.

-But... Maybe
even more than I do.

She must be hopelessly
hooked on them.-Red...

She must be hopelessly
hooked on them.-Red...

She'll do anything. Lie, cheat,
steal from her best friend.

Anything for a radish bar!

Hey, uh... uh, Red, uh, Gobo.
Wh-what's going on out here? Hmm?

Mokey Fraggle, you took my radish
barsand then you lied to me about it.

I'm going to take you before the
Eminentand Venerable Council of Sages.

-[Mokey gasps]-Ahhh!

[gasping] Red, I...

[crowd chattering]

-[sage 1 mooing]-[sage 2 laughs]

-Attention! Attention,
please.-Attention!

We are the Omnipotent, Venerableand
Eminent Council of Sages for today.

-And since I was here first...
And I was here second...

-And she was... Oh!-[snoring]

She fell asleep. [laughs]

-She was here third.-Yeah.

Wait a minute.

Excuse me, I have some business.

Business? What's
business? [laughs]

Omnipotent, Venerable,
and Eminent Council of Sages.

- Who?-Uh...
- Is that you?-[snores]

-Oh! She means us.-[guffawing]

Please. I am here todaybecause
my friend Mokey Fraggle

-stole my radish
bars.-[crowd gasps]

Guilty, guilty!

[stammers] But, Hambo, we
haven't heard Mokey's side yet.

I don't need to, Lambo.

Why, just look at her: those
shifty eyes, that weak jaw.

Why, she has guilt writtenall
over her face. [chuckles]

But, Hambo, [stammers]
that's not Mokey.

That's Red, the accuser.

-[Red] What?-[laughter]

-What's for
lunch?-Yeah, what's for...

Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait.

-[sage 3 snores]-Red Fraggle?

-Hmm?-Theft is a
very serious matter.

Oh, yes. It is.

Have you or someone elseseen
Mokey steal your radish bars?

-Huh? Huh? Huh?-Radish bars.

I didn't have to see her do
itto know it was her. [scoffs]

I didn't have to see her do
itto know it was her. [scoffs]

Did you actually see
her? Yes or no?[giggles]

Well, she wouldn't swearon
my Tug-o-Tails trophy.

-[crowd gasps]-Yeah.

-[random Fraggle]
Sounds serious.-Yes or no?

-Huh?-Did you see her?

-[sage 3 snores]-Well,
uh... not exactly.

-[crowd murmurs]-Hmm.
Mokey Fraggle?

-Step forward.-[Lambo giggles]

-Did you steal Red's
radish bars?-Bars?

No, I did not.

[stammers] Is there any reason

why you wouldn't swearon
Red's Tug-o-Tail trophy?

-[Lambo] Trophy?-Well, yeah.

I was just hurtthat she
would even ask me.

Oh, sure.

[chattering]

Right. Right, right, right. Well, a
thief must be caught red-handed.

-Handed.-Mm-hmm.

The case againstMokey
Fraggle is dismissed.

What? You can't drop the case.

You're right. Because you can't
provethat Mokey was the thief,

-we charge you with false
accusation.-[crowd exclaims]

-We'll meet again after
our second nap.-[Red] But...

- Lunch!-Lunch!
- Lunch!-Lunch!

-[crowd clamoring]-Oh no!

[random Fraggle]
Yeah, lunch. Oh boy!

[Red sighs]

Oh no, Red. I wouldn't
feelright trying to catch Mokey.

-So, get someone else to help
you.-Hmm. You tell 'em. [chuckles]

Wembley.

Me? What would I do? You've
alreadystolen two of my best radish bars.

No, no, no, Wembley.
I borrowed them.

-The thief stole them.-Well...

Before you know it, the thief
will rob everyone we know.

Oh no! What can I do?

Well, first give mefour of
your tastiest radish bars.

Four?

Yeah. And then, you
knowBoober's magic marking soap?

-Yeah.-Well, here's my plan.

-You're gonna help
me, you see...-Yeah?

-[Lanford
yawns]-[hammock squeaks]

-Wembley, get down. Get
down.-What? What? Oh! [groans]

It's time for plan number three.

-[Wembley] Okay.-[clears throat]

[loudly] Um, I have just putfour
delicious, chewy radish bars

- next to my bed.-Yeah, my radish bars.
- Next to my bed.-Yeah, my radish bars.

-Shh.-[grunts]

-Um, I am now lying
down.-[sighs] Oh...

-Oh my! I am getting
so sleepy.-Oh brother.

Those radish bars look so good,
no one would be able to resist them.

-[whispers] Not even
Mokey.-[Mokey growls]

-[yelps]-Red Fraggle,
you are being ridiculous!

And I wouldn't touch
your radish bars

if they were the lastradish
bars in the whole world.

[stammers] And I'm
nottaking my blanket down

until you apologize. [sobs]

[grunts] Oh, she seems upset.

Aw, she's just doing
that to throw me off.

-Oh.-[Red clears throat]

-[Red murmurs]-[Wembley snores]

[Lanford snores]

[softly] Oh! Oh... [sobs]

[gasps] Oh no! [pants]

[stammers] Order! Order!

Uh...

Now, Red Fraggle, what haveyou
to say for yourself? [guffaws]

Well, the Council wanted
red-handed, I got red-handed.

Bring forth some water.

And some cookies,
too, while you're at it.

[strained] I need to
talk to you a minute.

-Shh. Not now,
Wembley.-[stammering] But, Red...

Before last nap, I marked four
radish barswith Boober's magic soap,

-and they were stolen
again.-[Wembley] That's true, but...

So whosever hand turns redwhen
you put it in water is the thief.

-[crowd murmurs]-Let's
start with you, Mokey.

-Red, I think I should speak...
[Mokey] What's the... Red! [gasps]

-[Mokey] Red... [grunts]-And...

[crowd gasping, chattering]

-What? It's my hand that's
red.-[loud exclamations]

I've been trying
to tell you, Red.

You see, last night, after you
wentto sleep, I saw what happened.

You see, last night, after you
wentto sleep, I saw what happened.

[moans softly]

[gasps] Oh no!

[snores]

[snores]

[snores]

Oh. I feel so dumb. [chuckles]

I guess I should have waited till I
hadreal proof before I accused anyone.

-[crowd] Yeah.
Yeah.-Especially my best friend.

Yeah.

Red Fraggle, you are
guilty of false accusation.

Do you have anything
to say for yourself?

Well, what can I say?

Mokey, I'm so sorry. I
can't apologize enough.

I wouldn't blame youif you
never spoke to me again.

Oh, Red.

Oh. Your apology is enough.
Oh. Your apology is enough.

And, well, I wouldn't wanna
never speakto my best friend again.

-[random Fraggle] Aw!-Oh.

-[Wembley] Aw!-[crowd murmuring]

There's only one
thing left to say: lunch!

[Mokey] Oh boy, lunch.
Come on. Let's go to lunch.

Oh, but I just had ten radish
bars. Who can think about lunch?

Yech. [sighs]

Oh, I... I see, Sergeant. One of
them was Ms. Ardath's brother.

Well, thank you for checkingthat
out for me, Sergeant Dwornik.

[Sprocket humming]

Some wild dog got
holdof her brother's leg

and tore a huge chunkof
material from his pants?

[growling]

He wants to find the
dogand press charges?

[whimpers]

Well, I'll check on that my end.
Yes, thank you. Goodbye, Sergeant.

[Sprocket hums]

Did you see a wild dog out
thereattack one of those men?

No, I... I didn't think so.
