- What's going on?!
- Yeah! Why is the train
going so slow?
- It looks like we've
reached Big Mountain.
- Big Mountain? What's that?
- It's a really big mountain.
I'd better check in
with the engineer.
- I think you can,
I think you can,
I think you can!
- Big Mountain's so steep,
the train can't make it.
- I thought you could,
I thought you could,
I thought you could!
- The Peg plus Cat Express
has a big problem!
Cat, you genius
engineer! That's it!
- Ugh! I fell on
a bunch of apples.
- That's right. And the
Peg plus Cat Express
uses apples for fuel.
They give it power.
♪ Apples, they're good for

♪ And good, good for you ♪
- Mm! That's good fuel.

- What's wrong, Albert Einstein?
- The Puffmais prize.
It's... it's... missing!
(thunder)
(gasping)
- What do these puffy mice
look like, anywho?
- The Puffmais prize
is not mice.
It is a special award
that I left in a silver bowl
on the buffet table
a moment ago!
The most fulfilling prize
I have ever received!
- But now there's no bowl...
- No prize...
- And a really big problem!
♪♪♪
- There's only one way
to find the Puffmais.
- How? How??
- Through deduction.
- (various): Huh? What?
- (Richard): Duct tape?
- Deduction simply means
putting facts together
to come up with an answer.
- Then let's put
some facts together.
- Fact one:
Einstein left his prize
in a silver bowl
on the buffet table.
- That's a fact.
- Fact two: it's gone!
- So gone!
- Fact three:
there are footprints
leading from the table...
- ...to the caboose!
- Deduction:
someone must have taken
the Puffmais that way!
- It was taken, so the Puffmais
has been stolen!
(gasping)
- Oh...
My head feels wobbly
from all this excitement.
- You rest that genius head,
Albert Einstein.
We'll find your prize.
- ♪ Shoo, dooby doo,
dooby doo, boo boo ♪
- The silver bowl!
- That the Puffmais was in!
- (both): Mac must have
stolen the prize!
(thunder)
- I didn't steal nothin'!
Someone just handed me
this empty bowl.
I figured I'd polish
it up for him.
- Did that someone have a name?
- Uh... uh... I can't think
under all this pressure!
Let's see if we can find out
who gave Mac the bowl using
deduction!
Can you remember any
facts about the person?
- Well, the fellow was
a non-female type of guy.
- Fact one: it was a guy.
- So it couldn't have
been the neighbour ladies.
- Oh! And he was not tall.
- Fact two:
the person was short.
- That leaves
the Toad and Richard.
- Also the guy was green
and sold me a cube.
Does that help?
- Deduction:
it must have been Toad!
- Yeah, that's him!
- So Toad is our thief.
- (all): Whoa!
- We're going up
Double Big Mountain!
It's twice as big as
regular Big Mountain.
We need more apples.
- How many?
- It took two apples to get
the train over Big Mountain,
so we need to double
the number of apples.
Doubling means adding
a number to itself.
Two apples plus another
two apples equals...
one, two, three, four apples.
- Coming right up!
♪♪ One apple
- One apple ♪
- ♪ Two apples
- Two apples ♪
- ♪ Three, four apples
- Three, four apples ♪
- (both): ♪ Oh, yeah ♪♪
(train chugging)
- Woohoo!
- Now to catch that thief!
- I... I'm innocent, I tell you!
- Really?
- Sure, I wanted to peek
at the Puffmais, but there was
someone standing in my way.
- You never even
saw the Puffmais?
- When the person left, there
was just an empty silver bowl,
which I brought to Mac
to polish. He's very good.
- Sounds like that person
standing in front
of the Toad took the prize.
- Can you describe
the person's face?
- Never saw the face --
only four beautiful knees.
- The person had four knees?
- Is that weird?
- Fact one: Toad saw four knees.
- Fact two: everyone on
the train has two knees.
- One, two... Whoa!
- Four knees equals
two knees plus two knees.
It was two people standing
next to each other.
- Excellent deduction!
- Or knee-duction,
if you will. Heh, heh.
- (both): We will.
- It must have been
that famous twosome...
- (all): The Neighbour Ladies!
(thunder)
- Well, well, well, well,
well-y well, well.
We know you took the Puffmais
prize. Fess up! Fess up!
- We were standing
at the buffet table
snacking on the snacks...
- Which were delicious.
- But very salty.
- So we came back
for some pink lemonade.
- If Mac, Toad and the Neighbour
Ladies didn't steal the prize...
- ...then the only
passenger left is...
- Here's your lemonade, ladies.
- (all): Richard!
(thunder)
- Oh, hi, everybody.
- Richard must be the thief!
(crying)
- I'm not a thief!
- OK, settle down.
(bawling)
- Why would you even say that?
- It was just a deduction!
- You guys are deduction
meanies! Wah!
- OK, Richard, we believe you.
- We're almost at Cucamonga!
We've questioned everyone,
but we still haven't found
the thief or the missing prize
and I am TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!
(trumpet)
(whistle)
Cat's right. I should have five
sips of lemonade and calm down.
Five... four...
three... two... one!
- (yawning): Hi, Peg.
Did you find the thief?
(Richard sobbing)
- I don't even know
what a Puffmais is!
- Oh! Puffmais is a German word
that means "popcorn."
- (all): What?! Popcorn?
- You mean your Puffmais prize
was a bowl of popcorn
on the buffet table?
- Of course!
♪♪ I've won every prize ♪
♪ Under the sun ♪
♪ But the Puffmais, so nice ♪
♪ Is the most fulfilling one ♪♪
- I, uh, think
I might have munched
on a handful of your prize.
- Yeah, so did I.
- That's what
we were snacking on.
- Me too!
(crying)
- Even I had a handful.
- You mean we all ate some of
that popcorn without thinking?
We're sorry, Al.
- We didn't know
we were eating a big-deal award.
- (chuckling): Oh,
but this is wonderful!
I was worried that
the popcorn had disappeared
before anyone had
a chance to try it!
I'm delighted that you all
got to share in my prize.

(heavy breathing)
Does that map show someplace we
could stop to catch our breath?
- It shows that if we turn
the wheel to five,
at an uninhabited
island we'll arrive.
- Uninhabited means empty!
- That sounds great.
- I'll turn the wheel to five!
- No, no! That's eight...
and that's four.
- Five must be
an odd number, right?
- Yeah.
- No!

- You don't say.
- Four is even,
but you can get to the next odd

- So to four, an even number,
I'll add one to

It is a special award
that I left in a silver bowl
on the buffet table
a moment ago!
The most fulfilling prize
I have ever received!
- But now there's no bowl...
- No prize...
- And a really big problem!
♪♪♪
- There's only one way
to find the Puffmais.
- How? How??
- Through deduction.
- (various): Huh? What?
- (Richard): Duct tape?
- Deduction simply means
putting facts together
to come up with an answer.
- Then let's put
some facts together.
- Fact one:
Einstein left his prize
in a silver bowl
on the buffet table.
- That's a fact.
- Fact two: it's gone!
- So gone!
- Fact three:
there are footprints
leading from the table...
- ...to the caboose!
- Deduction:
someone must have taken
the Puffmais that way!
- It was taken, so the Puffmais
has been stolen!
(gasping)
- Oh...
My head feels wobbly
from all this excitement.
- You rest that genius head,
Albert Einstein.
We'll find your prize.
- ♪ Shoo, dooby doo,
dooby doo, boo boo ♪
- The silver bowl!
- That the Puffmais was in!
- (both): Mac must have
stolen the prize!
(thunder)
- I didn't steal nothin'!
Someone just handed me
this empty bowl.
I figured I'd polish
it up for him.
- Did that someone have a name?
- Uh... uh... I can't think
under all this pressure!
Let's see if we can find out
who gave Mac the bowl using
deduction!
Can you remember any
facts about the person?
- Well, the fellow was
a non-female type of guy.
- Fact one: it was a guy.
- So it couldn't have
been the neighbour ladies.
- Oh! And he was not tall.
- Fact two:
the person was short.
- That leaves
the Toad and Richard.
- Also the guy was green
and sold me a cube.
Does that help?
- Deduction:
it must have been Toad!
- Yeah, that's him!
- So Toad is our thief.
- (all): Whoa!
- We're going up
Double Big Mountain!
It's twice as big as
regular Big Mountain.
We need more apples.
- How many?
- It took two apples to get
the train over Big Mountain,
so we need to double
the number of apples.
Doubling means adding
a number to itself.
Two apples plus another
two apples equals...
one, two, three, four apples.
- Coming right up!
♪♪ One apple
- One apple ♪
- ♪ Two apples

(train chugging)
- Woohoo!
- Now to catch that thief!
- I... I'm innocent, I tell you!
- Really?
- Sure, I wanted to peek
at the Puffmais, but there was
someone standing in my way.
- You never even
saw the Puffmais?
- When the person left, there
was just an empty silver bowl,
which I brought to Mac
to polish. He's very good.
- Sounds like that person
standing in front
of the Toad took the prize.
- Can you describe
the person's face?
- Never saw the face --
only four beautiful knees.
- The person had four knees?
- Is that weird?
- Fact one: Toad saw four knees.
- Fact two: everyone on
the train has two knees.
- One, two... Whoa!
- Four knees equals
two knees plus two knees.
It was two people standing
next to each other.
- Excellent deduction!
- Or knee-duction,
if you will. Heh, heh.
- (both): We will.
- It must have been
that famous twosome...
- (all): The Neighbour Ladies!
(thunder)
- Well, well, well, well,
well-y well, well.
We know you took the Puffmais
prize. Fess up! Fess up!
- We were standing
at the buffet table
snacking on the snacks...
- Which were delicious.
- But very salty.
- So we came back
for some pink lemonade.
- If Mac, Toad and the Neighbour
Ladies didn't steal the prize...
- ...then the only
passenger left is...
- Here's your lemonade, ladies.
- (all): Richard!
(thunder)
- Oh, hi, everybody.
- Richard must be the thief!
(crying)
- I'm not a thief!
- OK, settle down.
(bawling)
- Why would you even say that?
- It was just a deduction!
- You guys are deduction
meanies! Wah!
