Down at Fraggle Rock.

[Doc] Honestly, Sprocket,
Soto's Market gets more crowded

every time we go there.

[Sprocket grumbling]

Oh, yes, Sprocket, I know you
hateto go to the grocery store.

Actually, you hate not
goingto the grocery store.

I always feel bad when I have to
tieyour leash to that bicycle rack.

[Sprocket mimics choking]

Well, dogs just aren't
allowedinto grocery stores.

Well, I thinkit's a
health department rule.

-[Sprocket growling]-I
don't know why.

Maybe they think that grocery
storesaren't healthy for dogs. [chuckles]

Anyway, I got something
hereto cheer you up.

Peach and praline ice cream.

-Ooh.-[telephone rings]

Hello.

Ned. Are you feeling any better?

Oh, that's too bad.

I'll... I'll bring you
over your groceries.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.

You stay nice and quietuntil
this asthma attack is over.

I'll see you in a second.

Back in a flash, Sprocket. I
gotta give Ned his groceries.

[whimpering]

[sighs]

[Red] In Fraggle Rock,
there is a meeting place

known as the Great Hall.

And in the hallsits the
ancient stone Fraggle horn.

This is a story about that horn.

It was an afternoonpretty
much like any other.

I was in the mood for a party, and
had decided to blow the Fraggle horn.

Boy, this is gonna be fun.

[Red] But I was about to stumbleonto
a mystery so strange, so bizarre

that I would always think of it as
"the strange and bizarre mystery."

[grunts, chuckles]

[breathes heavily, exclaims]

The Fraggle horn.
The Fraggle horn.

It's missing.

This is strange and bizarre.

[Red] Then I saw Henchy.

He was the assistantto
the World's Oldest Fraggle.

Henchy!

-Yes?-I've got some bad news.

The Fraggle horn is missing.

-[whimpers] Missing?-Mm-hmm.

But... But I need it.

What do you mean by that?

The World's Oldest Fraggle

was just talking to
meabout the Fraggle horn.

-Meeting, Your Decrepitude?-Yes,
of course a meeting!

Now, Gobo's Uncle
Travelling Matt

is always doing brave
thingsin Outer Space.

I think it is high timewe
had a little party in his honor.

Uh, yes, Your Elderlyship.

Now go blow the Fraggle hornand
get all the Fraggles together.

So, I rushed right here.

But now I can't blow the Fraggle
horn, so we can't have a meeting.

-That's true. Hmm.-I'll
tell the World's Oldest.

Wow!

This looks like a
case for Inspector Red.

[Red] I took a bite of radish
barand thought things over.

Hmm. Here's the crime,

someone has taken
the Fraggle horn.

Possible motive,

someone doesn't
want to have a meeting.

But Fraggles love meetings.
Who would want to stop them?

[Red] There was nothing to
dobut move the old Fraggle feet

and ask some questions.

Well, since they were goingto
have a meeting for Uncle Matt,

Well, since they were goingto
have a meeting for Uncle Matt,

I'll start by asking him.

[humming] Lovely.

-Hi, Uncle Matt.-Oh!

Oh, Red Fraggle, what
are you doing here?

I just came to ask
a few questions.

By the way, what's
that on your head?

Never mind about that!
Just ask your questions.

Okay. I understandthe
World's Oldest Fraggle

was going to hold a
partyin your honor today.

I refuse to go.

But it's to celebrate
your bravery.

Well, never mind
about my bravery.

What? Come on, you're always boastingabout
your brave deeds in Outer Space.

-Boast?-Mm-hmm.

I never boast. I
always speak the truth.

Then speak it.

Come on, what
have you done lately?

-Well, I...-Well?

-Well...-Well?

Well, the other day...

[Matt] I went for a
walk in Outer Space.

I walked and walkeduntil
I was quite tired.

It was at that pointthat I
started to look for someone

who might give me a ride.
Who might give me a ride.

Ah! Perhaps this
gentlemanwill give me a lift.

Um, excuse me, sir, but,
uh, could you give me a ride?

[car engines revving]

Whoa!

That was my hat, you fool!

The gentleman compliedwith
my wishes at once,

although it was nota
terribly smooth ride.

For that, the World's Oldest
Fragglewas going to give you a party?

Red, I've told you,
I don't want a party.

Let it lie, just forget
the whole thing, I...

Whoa! Oh! Oh, oh.

Uncle Matt... [gasps]

you're bald.

Well... Well, yes. You see,
when I took my little ride, I, uh...

I lost my toupee.

-You lost your toupee?-Shh.

-[all] You lost
your toupee?-Argh!

[all laughing]

That's not polite.

I think I'm going
to go lie down.

[Red] Anyway, my extensive
detective work had paid off.

[Red] Anyway, my extensive
detective work had paid off.

Matt had taken the Fraggle
hornto stop the party.

Ooh, I've gotta go findthe
World's Oldest Fraggle. Yeah.

Come on.

So you came to me to makean
official accusation, then?

Mm-hmm. It's an
open-and-shut case.

Ha! You do remember, don't you,
that the penalty for false accusation

is greater than the
penalty for theft?

Oh, I do.

Then make the
accusation official.

Recite the solemn oath.

Ooh. Yes, by the solemn
oath of the Fraggles...

-Come on, snap it up.-...I
accuse Matt Fraggle

-of taking the Fraggle
horn.-Brother... Takes forever.

Weeba-weeba, woffa-woffa,
garpox gumbage, whoopee!

Well, in that case,
why is the Fraggle horn

sitting there in Boober
Fraggle's room?

[gasps] Oh, no!

There, now Ned has his
groceries. Now, where were we?

There, now Ned has his
groceries. Now, where were we?

[Sprocket gasps, barks]

Oh, yes, we were going to
havethe peach and praline ice cream.

Mmm-mmm.

Where's the ice cream, Sprocket?

I remember I had
the carton in my hand

when the phone rang.

Then I went to Ned's.

That left you here...

alone...

with the ice cream.

The finger of guilt points
your way, Sprockie.

[Sprocket growls]

[Red] Had I pointed the
finger of guiltthe wrong way?

I anxiously chewed
a chunk of radish bar.

Yep, there's the Fraggle horn, all
right, right here in Boober's room.

And you officially accused Matt.

Uh, well, it sort of does make it
looklike Boober took it, doesn't it?

Are you saying that you
falsely accusedTravelling Matt?

Are you saying that you
falsely accusedTravelling Matt?

Oh, I wouldn't go that far.

Because, by cracky, I'll rear up
and pass a punishment on you

that'll make your tail frizz!

No, no, wait. I mean, it makes
it look like Boober's guilty,

but maybe he's not.

I mean, why would he
take the Fraggle horn?

You got me.

Well, we better go find
himand ask some questions.

All right.

-♪ La-la-la-la... ♪-Mokey,
Mokey, have you seen Boober?

Uh, yes, as a matter of fact, I saw
him this morning in the Great Hall.

What was he doing?

Returning my laundry.

But, you know, we had a
very strange conversation.

Uh, here's your smock, Mokey.

Oh, thank you, Boober.

But even with bleachnuts, I
couldn't get the paint stains out.

Oh, that's okay, the
stains are my favorite part.

Hey, what you doing?

Oh, just drawing a pictureof
our beloved Fraggle horn.

-Yuck! It's not
beloved to me.-Huh?

Well, Fraggles are always blowing
it, and calling meetings, and...

And meetings lead to parties, and
singing, and group dancing, and frolicking.

[Mokey] Yeah, and games, and snacks.
[Mokey] Yeah, and games, and snacks.

Snacks! Yuck!
All that junk food.

Boy, if it were up to me, the Fraggle
hornwould be hauled away and broken up

into little tiny pieces!

[giggles] Silly old Boober.

Well, if you'll excuse me,

I have a meditation
meetingin Frieda's cave. Bye.

-Bye.-Oh. An open-and-shut case.

Boober did it.

Then recite the solemn oath.

Oh. By the solemn
oath of the Fraggles,

I accuse Boober of
takingthe Fraggle horn.

Weeba-weeba, woffa-woffa,
garpox gumbage, whoopee!

-So, you falsely accused
Travelling Matt!-[gasps]

Rats! You're right.

Hot dog! I get to give
the punishment.[laughs]

Oh, no. What is the punishment?

The punishment is...

no radish bars for a week. I'll
just take that, thank you very much.

-Hey!-Mmm. Delicious.

Oh!

[laughs] Oh, hi, Red.

Boober!

What's wrong? What's
wrong? What'd I do?-Boober.

What's wrong? What's
wrong? What'd I do?-Boober.

-Huh?-What a
drastic thing to do.

-[stutters]
Pardon?-Boober, I know all.

I know you took the Fraggle
horn, and I know why you took it.

[stutters] But, Red?

I didn't touch the Fraggle
horn.[nervous chuckle]

-Oh, no?-No.

Then tell me what this is.

Oh, that's my room.

Mm-hmm. And
what is in your room?

Well, let's see, there are my
socksand my favorite clothespins.

Oh, and there's my omelet pan.

-And what else?-Huh?

Well...

nothing.

[gasps] But the Fraggle horn!

It was in here just
a few moments ago.

Now, Red, if this is some kind of
a joke, I'm afraid I just don't get it.

It's not a joke, but I don't
get it either. Where is it?

It's not a joke, but I don't
get it either. Where is it?

Well, how should I know?

Gosh, Red, you...

You shouldn't go around
accusinginnocent Fraggles without evidence.

[scoffs]

[Red] My strange and bizarre mysteryhad
just gotten stranger and bizarrerer.

[sighs]

Could Boober have
hidden the Fraggle horn?

Hmm.

Maybe he's got some sort
of backentrance to this place.

-Argh! Oh.-Hi, Red.

Hey, where's Boober? Oh!

I found these great peaches and I thought,
well, maybe he'll make 'em into a pie.

-Yeah, and I brought
the pralines.-Yeah.

He's not here, and
neither is the Fraggle horn.

Beg your pardon?

The Fraggle horn is missing.

Why, I saw Marlon messing
around with itjust this morning.

You did?

Yeah. I thought he was gonna blow
it, so I wanted to see what was up.

[pants, grunts]

[grunts echoing]

-Hey, Marlon. What
you doing?-Argh!

I lost something.
Something very important.

I lost something.
Something very important.

Oh! Well, what'd you lose?

Only the greatest thing in
the Rock, my lucky pebble.

Hmm. Well, how'd it
get in the Fraggle horn?

I put it in here so no one could
get it, and now... I can't get it.

Well, I guess you'll have to
geta new lucky pebble, eh?

You don't understand!
I must have that pebble!

-[crashing sound]-[grunting]

[chuckles]

Boy, that Marlon
sure is a crazy Fraggle.

Oh, yeah. I think he'd do
anythingto get that pebble back.

Uh, excuse me, everybody,
I've gotta go ask some questions.

Huh.

[Red] So, uh, Marlon.

What?

I just came here to
ask youa few questions.

What kind of questions?

Oh, uh, about the Fraggle horn.

Uh, uh, I know nothing, I
saw nothing, I heard nothing.

Then you know the
Fraggle horn is missing!

I'm innocent, I tell you!

Do I look like a thief?
Oh, the shame of it!

My name dragged through the
mud.-Uh, I'm not accusing you, Marlon.

My name dragged through the
mud.-Uh, I'm not accusing you, Marlon.

Oh?

On the other hand,
what's that in your hand?

Argh! It's my lucky pebble.

-Aha!-Why do you want to know?

Yeah, yeah, right, right. Hmm.

Well, Red Fraggle, who do you
thinktook the Fraggle horn now?

No doubt about it... [both]
It's an open-and-shut case.

Whoo! I've heard
that one before.

Well?

Who is it this time?

Marlon. He must have taken
itto get his lucky pebble out.

Then recite the solemn oath.

Ah. By the solemn
oath of the Fraggles,

I accuse Marlon of
takingthe Fraggle horn.

Weeba-weeba, woffa-woffa,
garpox gumbage, whoopee!

Then you falsely accused
Boober, didn't you?

-Oops.-[laughs]

I suppose you realize

that the punishment for falsely
accusingtwo Fraggles is gruesome.

Oh, no. Here we go again.

Now stand over there.

Bow your head. Bow your head.

[whimpers]

Look contrite...

-[whimpers]-...and kiss
your happiness goodbye!

[gasps]

You are about to be punishedas
you've never been punished before.

Oh! [whimpers]

Well, if you'd eaten thatpeach
and praline ice cream, Sprocket,

there'd be an empty
carton lying around.

Well, I don't see one.

Maybe I've been hasty.

[Sprocket scoffs]

You didn't eat that
ice cream, did you?

Mm-mm.

Well, I guess I owe
you an apology.

[Sprocket scoffs]

-[Doc] Uh-oh!-[Sprocket gasps]

[whimpers]

[laughing]

Are you sure walking
backwardscarrying a large rock

is the proper punishmentfor
falsely accusing two Fraggles?

Whoa!

Well, I'm only
going by the book.

[Red] Whatever you say.

-Now then, Red
Fraggle…-[straining]

I am tired of all this.

I want my Fraggle horn
backso we can have a meeting.

Have you any idea where it is?

You're the one
playing detective!

Now, you should
be solving this case.

I'll have Henchy
round up the suspects.

[panting] Whoa!

Hear ye! Hear ye!

The suspects are
all brought together.

Oh, look, the suspectsare
all brought together.

-I said that.-So did I.

Ooh!

I'm innocent, I tell you.

[grunts] I didn't do it.

-They did it.-This
is an outrage!

Uh, Marlon, does my
hair look all right to you?

Who cares? I'm innocent.
Who cares? I'm innocent.

Uh-huh. Ah! Inspector Red,
you will now make your case.

The Fraggle found guiltywill
be severely dealt with.

But if you get it wrong...

-Yeah?-...you'll be up a creek.

[Red] I had no idea who
was guilty, but I had to try.

You're... You're all probably
wonderingwhy you've been called here today.

No, I know why I'm here.
I invited me. [chuckles]

She's not talking to
you, Your Geriatric-hood.

[Red moans]

She's not talking to
anyone, she's moaning.

Now, why doesn't
she drop that rock?

You told her to carry that rock.

Red, drop that rock!

-Oh, my foot! Ow!
Ow!-[chuckling]

[grunts]

Well, wait a minute.
I didn't drop that rock.

No, but you enjoyed it.

Now, Red, tell us who's guilty.

[stuttering] [stuttering]

All of these Fraggles have good
reasonsfor taking the Fraggle horn.

Oh, Red, you aren't going
to tellthe reasons, are you?

It took me all day to
makethis new toupee.

Yeah. I have even seen the Fraggle
hornin the room of one of these suspects.

But there were only
clothespinsand omelet pans in there.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, there is just cause to suspecteach
and every one of these Fraggles.

Argh! How can you
persecute me so?

My life... My life
is an open book.

[crashing sound]

-Get on with it. I
want a decision.-Oh.

[Red] If only one of
them would confess.

That's it!

The moment of truth has come.

-Hot dog! Tell us.-My
fellow Fraggles,

-I tell you with absolute
certainty…-Uh-huh.

That the Fraggle
horn was taken by...

-Yes, yes, yes.-...none
other than...

Me.

[gasps] You?

You?

You?

Of course she took it.
Of course she took it.

Look at that weak chinand
those close-set eyes.

It's not true! I took
the Fraggle horn!

Of course Henchy
took the Fraggle horn.

Look at that weak chinand
those close-set eyes.

Yes, I admit everything! I
confess. You can't punish Red.

No Fraggle would let another
Fraggletake the rap for him.

Exactly. That's
why I said I did it.

I knew it would force the
guilty Fraggleto step forward,

and I didn't want to
insultthe innocent parties

any more than I already have.

Huh? Uh, I don't
understand this at all.

Henchy, tell us how
you tookthe Fraggle horn.

All right, Your Detectiveship.

[giggles] Boo.

[Henchy] I took it this morningwhen
there was no one around.

But then I heard Red
comingand I hid it behind a rock.

-I'll go tell the
World's Oldest.-Hmm.

[Henchy] I told Red about
the partyfor Travelling Matt.

Then I left.

Later, I returned,

determined to find a
safehiding place for the horn.

Determined to find a
safehiding place for the horn.

But as I was going
past Boober's place,

I almost ran into Redand
the World's Oldest Fraggle.

I quickly ducked inside.

[crashing sound]

Red and the World's
Oldest saw the horn,

but they didn't see me.

Oh! [straining]

Then, when Mokey was telling
themsome story about Boober,

I was able to sneak
the horn outbehind them.

Later, when I was carrying
itto its final hiding place,

something fell out of the
horn, but I couldn't see what.

[gasps] Oh!

[stuttering] My lucky pebble.

[kisses]

So, that's how I
took the Fraggle horn.

You mean I'm innocent? Ah!

Now, Henchy, please tell
uswhy you took the Fraggle horn.

Tell her why.

[grunts, sighs]

Because I hate meetings.
Because I hate meetings.

But why do you hate meetings?

Tell her why.

[grunts, sighs]

Because at meetings, you're
alwaysbopping me on the nose like that.

It's very embarrassing.

-It is?-Yeah.

Ooh! It's not only
embarrassing, it's painful.

I'm sorry, Henchy. I won't
do that to you anymore.

-Promise?-Of course I promise!

Now go get the
Fraggle horn. Go on.

-Go on. Move!-Yes,
Your Forgetfulness.

All right, everybody, now we're
gonna have a wingding party!

[chuckles]

[Red] So, Inspector
Red had won the day.

My strangest and bizarrest
mysterywas at last a closed case.

[sighs]

I'm tired of playing detective.

I think tomorrowl'll play
thwack-a-ball. Yeah.

I'm sorry, Sprocket,
but proof is proof.

You must have eatenthe
peach and praline ice cream

because here is the empty carton.
Because here is the empty carton.

[scoffs, sniffs]

-[howls]-Huh?
Oh, you're right...

Wait a minute, this is
chocolate ice cream.

This is yesterday's
ice cream carton.

I give up.

I'll go and get some more.

I don't know where
the ice cream went.

I know where the ice cream went.

I must have put the carton in
my hatwhen the phone rang.

[Sprocket chuckles]

Well, Sprocket, this'll teach me a
lesson, never jump to conclusions.

I'm sorry.

Now, sir, would you care for
somepeach and praline soup?

[Sprocket licking]

Oh, come on, Sprockie.

Ugh.
