Montana. They call it
the Treasure State or Big Sky Country.

For most kids, it was
a magnificent wonderland of adventure.

But for me, it was 94 million acres
of endless Froggy Doo stories

told by my tag-along little brother.

Did you know
Froggy Doo has 1 4 diplomas?

How come you don't have any, Elliott?
lt's sad that you don't have any.

Did you know Happy Herb can't swim?

Did you know every day's a birthday
on The Froggy Doo Show?

l'm going to be on
The Froggy Doo Show for my birthday!

Did you know Froggy Doo is
the smartest one in town?

Did you know Froggy Doo likes horses?
He's my best friend.

Our town of Peaks View
was a sleepy little hamlet,

tucked far away from the changes
rocking the rest of the world.

Nothing much ever happened there,
and that's just the way folks liked it.

We did have one claim to fame, though.
Actually, make that two.

Happy Herb and Froggy Doo.
They were the biggest stars in Montana,

with the number-one kids' show
for 22 years running.

My family lived on the outskirts of town,
in the house our mom grew up in.

Dad had been a state-wide boxing
champ with a shot at the Olympics.

Just like old times, Cookie!

And even though those days
were long gone...

Yep! Just like old times, Mick.

...his friends still treated him
like a hero.

And no place more so
than at the local bar.

Line 'em up, baby! Everybody's drinking,
everybody's drinking tonight.

My mom, like most women back then,

was realizing that the era
of June Cleaver was over.

Mick, get up! You're going to be late!

''Mick, you're going to be late.''

Morning.

To say Rocky had a one-track mind

would be somewhat
of an understatement.

He was Froggy Doo's biggest fan.

Of course, l had my obsessions, too.

So the only way
l could keep my photos safe

and my side of the room Froggy-free

was to put down a dividing black line
which Rocky was forbidden to cross.

Froggy, do you think she came?

Look! She did!

Rocky and l were as different
as brothers could be.

He believed in everything, and me...

Well, l didn't believe
in much of anything.

Elliott, look, the tooth fairy came!

There's no such thing, stupid.
Now get off my side.

ls so.

The tooth fairy and a little green frog.

Let's go.

l should've known that that summer
was going to turn out unlike any other.

Are you going to just sit there all day?

-Watch this, Smelliott.
-His name is Elliott, not Smelliott!

Hey! Are you up next?

That's okay, you can go.

Why don't we jump together? lt'll be fun.

-Come on.
-Okay.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah, l'm fine.

Okay.

Crud.

Are you ready? On three, we jump.

One, two, three.

Jump!

Come on, chicken, jump.

My brother's not a chicken!

Well, he sure looks like one to me.

Come on!

Elliott! Elliott! Elliott!

-What?
-There's a spaceship in Hip's field.

And l suppose Froggy Doo's the pilot?

No, it's a stupid girl!

These aren't working.

-l want your periscope!
-Get down.

Hi!

ldiot.

Wait for me!

-Sport, stay.
-''Sport, stay.''

Are you sure
you're old enough to smoke?

All right then.

-Thank you, Mr. Spreen.
-You're welcome.

Elliott, you're a smart kid.

How'd you like
to come work at the store?

You couldn't do any worse
than my nitwit nephew.

-Hi, Wally.
-Hey, Elliott.

Thanks, Mr. Spreen, but we gotta go.

-Hey, Martie.
-Hey, Martie.

Hi, boys.

Hey, how you cats doing?

-We're cool.
-Yeah, we're cool.

-My photos in yet?
-Yeah.

But you must've left the lens cap on
or something, because they're all black.

-What?
-Got you.

Elliott, don't even bother
with that camera,

it's never gonna work again.

-You're the expert.
-l guess that makes us even.

Come on, we gotta go! lt's almost 3:00!

-Okay. See you later, Orin.
-Good to see you guys.

See you, Orin.

Come on, Andy,
you're gonna miss Froggy Doo.

That's right, kids. Hurry up, grab a seat,
grab your favorite snack from Spreen's

because it's time for
The Froggy Doo Show.

because it's time for
The Froggy Doo Show.

And here's Happy Herb!

Hi, boys and girls!

-Hi, Happy Herb!
-Hi, Happy Herb!

Hi, everybody at home. How are you?

Well, welcome to The Froggy Doo
Show and the Magic Castle.

We are so happy that you're here.

-So let me ask you a question.
-Hi, Happy Herb.

Hi, honey bunny.
Let me ask you a question.

Has anybody seen His Greenness?

Hey, look behind you, Wiz.

Trying to sneak up on me.

Hiya, kids, hiya, hiya, hiya.
l'm so happy you're here.

-Hiya, Froggy Doo.
-Hiya, Froggy Doo.

Hiya, Froggy Doo.

Hi, Froggy,
l've been looking all over for you.

What are you thinking of doing today?

l was thinking of taking a walk
down by the river.

Well, you know what?
That sounds like a lot of fun.

l just want you to be very careful.

Do you remember
the safety tip l gave you yesterday?

The safety tip. Of course l remember,
of course, yup, yup, yup.

Oh, my goodness,
what was that safety tip?

Are you telling me that you don't
remember the safety tip, Froggy?

That would be a big fat no.

l gave you that safety tip

because l wanted to protect you,
and l really like you.

-l like you, too.
-Thank you, Froggy.

But then again, l like liver.

-With onions, huh?
-No, onions give me gas.

You can't talk about that on television.

-Are you pulling my leg?
-l would never do that to you.

No, l mean really, pull my leg.

Must have been the onions.

Sorry.

Okay, can we get back
to the tip, please?

You know what, kids? l think
we're going to have to help the frog.

-There's a witch in the river!
-There's a witch in the river!

That's right, and her name is Undertow.

And she's going to pull you
to the bottom.

-Okay, l got it. See you, Wiz.
-The name is Wizard.

Goodbye, Wizard.

What am l going to do with that frog?

And now, boys and girls,
it's "Storytime with the Genie."

Well, hiya, Froggy.

-Hi, Genie, you're very beautiful.
-Well, thank you, Froggy.

-Would you read me a story?
-But you always interrupt me.

Oh, no, l'll be very, very quiet.
l'll put a tickle lock on my mouth.

Well, all right then,
your wish is my command.

Thank you.

Okay, so this one's
called Humpty Dumpty...

You read that so well.

''Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty...''

Slipped on a banana peel!

Yeah, all the way down the hill,
into Jack and Jill.

No, Froggy Doo.

Yes, okay, okay.
All the way down to China.

No, Froggy.

-Humpty Dumpty...
-Had a great fall!

That's right, boys and girls.

That's what happened.

You know, honestly, l don't think l've
ever finished a story with you around.

-How am l doing now?
-Not well.

-Where are you going, Froggy Doo?
-Where are you going, Froggy Doo?

To Spreen's Mercantile,
where everybody goes.

That reminds me, kids.

We're gonna be appearing
this Sunday...

-At Sacajawea Park.
-What the Genie said.

With a lot of fun, a lot of magic,

and if Froggy Doo is a good boy,
he's gonna come along with us.

So bring your moms, bring your dads,
and we'll see you then. Bye!

l promise to be good,
my fingers are crossed.

-Bye, Froggy Doo!
-Bye, Froggy Doo!

Mom, please, can we go?
Mom, please, can we go?

You're going in eight days,
on your birthday.

l want to see Froggy Doo Sunday.

Fine, l'm sure
your brother would love to take you.

-Mom!
-l took you when you turned five.

Daddy's home! Daddy!

-Give me a hug. Big hug! Squeeze.
-Hiya, Dad.

How you doing? Hey, Son.

Hey, Mama, you need to do
a better job cleaning up after Sport.

Come and take a look,
l've got dog doo all over my boot.

Dog doo, l'm not dog doo.

You're early. Old Faithful's burn down?

Hey, Dad, tomorrow do you want
to watch Froggy Doo with us?

-Watch doggy doo?
-Not doggy doo. Froggy Doo.

Froggy Doo-Doo?

Don't get him wound up, Mick.

Hey, champ, come on, baby,
show me what you got.

Stick and jab, stick and jab.
Nice. Combination.

-To the body, to the body.
-Hey, Dad.

These are the photos l took last week.

Show me what you got.

Come on, stick and jab.
Dropping your left, keep that left up.

That was always Liston's problem.

-Dad, you like them?
-Come on.

-Nice shot of your mother's tail.
-Mick.

Mom doesn't have a tail.

Speaking of gorgeous wife,
what, do you have a hot date?

Girl's germs!

Girl's germs, that's right, give me that!

l need a cootie shot. Save me, Rocky.
Cootie shot, cootie shot.

You want to talk about it?

You know, you should
take better care of these.

l was about your age
when your grandpa took this one of me.

You have his eye.

Elliott, come on. We're going to be late.
Look, l even combed my hair.

You guys cannot be back here.

Just go outside
and have fun or something.

Can you just watch the door, please?

Mr. Spreen, Wally.
Picture for the paper?

-Froggy Doo! Froggy Doo!
-Froggy Doo! Froggy Doo!

Hey, little guy, l'm gonna see you
in a few minutes.

Kids are going nuts.
Uncle Dick says get out there now.

You tell Uncle Dick l'm ready.

Go do your warm-up, Herb.
l'll be ready in a minute.

All right. To September honeymoons.

Break a frog leg. Yes indeed.

...to bring you
Happy Herb and Froggy Doo!

Yeah!

How are you?

l'm so happy to be here with you all!

Oh, my goodness,
what a beautiful crowd!

You know what l thought?

Since we're in the park,
shouldn't we plant one more flower?

Don't you think?

-All right now, pay attention.
-Okay.

Count to three.

-One, two, three!
-One, two, three!

After all these years,
they still can't get enough of him.

You're suppose to take pictures
of Happy Herb.

-Knock it off, stupid.
-You're stupid.

Genie of the Pumpkin Patch,
are you there?

Hello, boys and girls.

-How are you on this fine day?
-l'm wonderful.

Yes, isn't it wonderful
to be here at Sack-a-Potatoes Park?

Can you help him out, boy and girls?
Where are we?

-Sacajawea!
-Sacajawea!

He's small. He's green.
What's his name?

-Froggy Doo!
-You know him, he's never on time.

-He never is on time.
-l'm telling Mom.

Be right back.

Okay, Froggy, you're...

This is finally my chance
to finish a nursery rhyme

without Froggy Doo interrupting.
Now let's see, how about this one?

Okay, Froggy.

Froggy?

"Jack Sprat could eat no fat
his wife could eat no lean..."

No! No! Froggy!

l'll be right back.

-What's happening?
-l don't know.

Oh, no!

-Where's Froggy?
-Froggy!

l'm so sorry, children.

We're not going to be able
to continue with our show.

-Why?
-Why?

Someone's taken Froggy Doo.

What? Froggy?
Elliott, Elliott, Froggy, do something!

lt's okay.

-Where's Froggy?
-Froggy!

lt's okay. lt's okay.

lt'll be all right.

Come on.

Froggy.

Anyone with information
concerning the whereabouts

of the stolen Froggy Doo puppet,
please contact your local police station.

Check every bush.

Froggy Doo is green,
so he's going to blend in real well.

We've closed off all bridge access
in and out of town.

What's with the roadblock?
What's going on?

All because of a puppet?

Anyone with information
concerning Froggy Doo,

please contact your local police station.

Calm down! Everybody, just calm down.

Sheriff, we want results. Things like this
aren't supposed to happen in our town.

Darn it, Clovie, we ain't equipped
to handle something this big.

-Sheriff!
-Sheriff!

Rocky! Binky & Buster are on.
Why don't you give them a try?

l hate Binky & Buster!

l want Froggy Doo!

Elliott, why don't you take your brother
on a bike ride?

Great idea, Mom.

Superstar Froggy Doo
was stolen during a live appearance

here in Peaks View yesterday afternoon.

Police have no suspects.

ln a prepared statement,

rivals Binky & Buster
expressed their shock and sadness

at the apparent frog-napping
and vow to work doubly hard

to keep the children of Montana
entertained during this time of crisis.

Jeez. They act like
it's the Lindbergh baby.

The Hardy Boys.
l'm a Trixie Belden fan, myself.

Okay. Well, nice talking to you.

Hey, Elliott. l bet you can find him.

-Find who?
-Froggy Doo.

-lt's just a stupid puppet.
-You're a stupid puppet.

-Shut up, tard-o.
-You're a tard-o.

And l've just been informed
the reward is now up to $700,

with new donations coming in
from all across the state.

$700.

This report is coming to you
from KULR Channel 8

here in Peaks View, Montana.

Come on, Kurt. You know
what this town would do to me

if l messed with Happy Herb's time slot.

-Mr. Bublin.
-And what do you want?

-We're here to see Happy Herb.
-He's not here.

See, l told you
he lived in the pumpkin patch.

No, Herb lives in a house
like everyone else.

But he wants to be left alone.

-l'm sorry, who are you two again?
-My brother's a detective.

Sir, l'm compiling a list of suspects,
and if l could only talk to Happy Herb,

l might be able to solve
the Froggy Doo mystery.

Well, he won't go back on the air
until someone does.

But l think you kids should leave this to
the professionals. The police are on it.

Now why don't you go home
and enjoy your summer vacation?

Now if you'll excuse me,
l've got some soap to sell.

Come on, let's go.

Stick and jab. Stick and jab.
Stick and jab. Stick and jab.

Right hook, left hook, combination.

You hit hard, Dad,
l bet you can beat up anybody.

Anybody but Liston.
He hits harder than any man alive.

That's what makes him so tough.

Hey there, champ. What do you say
you and me go a few rounds, huh?

Go get him, Son. Come on.
Come on, get him. You can do it.

No, l miss Froggy Doo.

How about you, Einstein?
What do you say?

l've got better things to do.

Hey, l thought l taught you
to respect your elders.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, that's right.
lf l lipped off to my old man like that,

he'd tell me to put on the gloves.

And if l didn't fight back,
well, l got it worse than if l did.

Well, l don't like boxing.
Fighting doesn't solve anything.

Hey, Mick.

Well, who we got here?

The guy ain't been here five minutes

and the cops are already
messing with him.

l hate to break it to you, buddy,
but l think that is your new neighbor.

Well, l gotta hit the road.

-Me, too. Thanks for the beers, Mick.
-Not so fast.

How do?

-Deputy.
-Jeez, Mick, what'd you do now?

Honey, why don't you come over
and meet our new neighbor?

Wayne Dubois. Pleasure, ma'am.

Sorry.

-Howdy.
-Well, hello.

This is my boy, Rocky.

-Heya, Rocky. How are you?
-l'm okay.

-So, you're new in town?
-My little girl and l, yeah.

-Hey, can l get you a lemonade, water?
-No, thanks.

-How about a beer?
-No, thanks, l'm still on duty.

l just came by because l noticed
we have kids the same age.

l know how important it is
for kids to have friends,

and my Haley, she's a great girl.

She's funny, she's smart.

She... She's been having a tough time
since her mom died.

-Sorry about that.
-Appreciate it.

Well, Rocky, why don't you invite her
to your birthday party, huh?

Girl's germs.

-Well...
-No good.

-Listen, it was nice meeting you all.
-You, too.

And you drop by any time, all right?

Hey... Hey. You're dropping your left.
That was always Liston's problem.

ls that right, huh?

My, my, what a specimen.

Boys, why don't you go
hose your mother off, huh?

Yeah, that man can have
my girl's germs anytime.

-Got you, Mom.
-l'm going to get you, you little monkey!

Hey! That's not fair! Elliott!

Help me, Rocky! Help me, Rocky!

Now don't let me down, boy.

Hey there.

Hey there, boy.

Bad dog. You know
you're not supposed to leave the yard.

Well, then maybe you shouldn't
have thrown it so far.

-Here you go, boy.
-Careful. Sport don't like strangers.

l can see that.

Traitor.

-So, l hear your dad's a boxer?
-Used to be.

-Your dad's a cop?
-Yeah, but he likes boxing.

That's good. Mine hates cops.

Really, why?

He's a rebel, l guess.

Okay.

Okay.

You didn't come all the way over here

just to tell me
that your dad hates cops, did you?

l miss you, Froggy. Where are you?

Rocky, l got somebody
to help us find Froggy Doo.

-Really, who?
-Come on.

l hope it's not a girl.

l can't believe you asked a yucky girl.

Wow.

That's Happy Herb's
and Froggy Doo's house.

-The bestest house in town.
-Come on.

Look. Froggy's motorcycle!

Yeah.

Sport, stay.

Hey, it's the Genie. You look different.

Hi, l'm Elliott Plumm,
this is my brother, Rocky, and Haley.

-Hi.
-We need to talk to Happy Herb.

l'm sorry, kids. Herb's really not up
to having any visitors.

Viv, who is it?

Just a few fans, Herb.

Well, hon, just give me a minute,
and l'll be right there.

-Shazzam, kids! Shazzam!
-Wow!

Shazzam! You are... Don't tell me.

-You are...
-Rocky.

You're exactly correct.
How did you know who you were, sir?

-Because my name is Rocky.
-lt's nice to see you, Rocky.

-We're going to find Froggy Doo.
-l hope you do.

Well, just so you know,
l'm only in it for the reward.

l guess he must be too old
for talking frogs and such.

-Yeah.
-Not us. We love Froggy Doo.

-He's a good frog.
-Yeah, he is.

-Lemonade?
-Thanks.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Happy Herb, why don't you just
make another one?

Another one?

Anyone ever say to Geppetto,

''Hey, why don't you
make another Pinocchio?''

No.

lt's all right, Herb.

l'm sorry, it's just
that Herb's very attached.

Well, we don't have children of our own.

So you kids and Froggy Doo
are our children.

-Didn't know that.
-Come here for a minute.

Now, Rocky, do you have a plan
to find Froggy Doo?

No, he does.

Well, this is where he sleeps.

Wow!

But l thought he lived
in the pumpkin patch.

No. That's just on TV.
He lives here with me.

Yeah.

ls this what you're looking for?

Perfect.

Here, boy.

Okay, boy. Got it? Got it?

-Sport's got a good sniffle.
-Get him. Go get him.

Wait for me! Wait for me!

Come on,
we're going to find Froggy Doo!

Yeah, let's go!

Froggy Doo!

Come on, guys,
Sport's gonna find Froggy Doo!

Come on!

Cool!

Guys, Sport's found Froggy Doo!

Froggy Doo!

Froggy? Froggy!

-Smooth move, ex-lax!
-Way to go, Smelliott.

Well, at least he's trying
to find Froggy Doo.

Come on. lt's all right.

Herb, l think the kids are back!

Herb?

Herb!

Froggy's bow tie.

''l have the frog.

''No police, or l will send
the rest back in pieces.''

That's $5.07.

Out of $6.

Here you go. Thank you, Mrs. Catullo.

You think that's wise, son,
leaving all that cash in an open till?

-Can l help you?
-FBl.

We're here about the frog.

-Find something?
-l think so. Look at these scratch marks.

Froggy's case must... Must have
been dragged from backstage.

And they end right here.

But dragged into what?

Hey, who are those people?

Come on, back inside!

-So you're the manager, are you?
-Oh, no, l'm just the assistant manager.

My uncle's the one
that actually owns the place.

So, it'll all be yours someday, huh?

The way he rides me,
l'm lucky he lets me shop there.

Just the one entrance into the stage?

Yeah, the dressing room's in the back.

How they could have gotten him
out of there, case and all?

You'd have to be a magician
to pull that off.

-A magician, eh?
-Why is the FBl involved in this?

-Extortion's a federal crime, son.
-Extortion?

Yeah, they sent Happy Herb
a ransom note.

-Even sent the little fellow's bow tie.
-Ransom?

Listen, we're going to catch
whoever did this.

The FBl is on top of it,
so don't you worry, okay?

-Okay.
-Okay.

Well then, l'll just walk back, guys.

-All righty.
-Thanks.

Okie-dokie.

Don't you kids have
some lawns to mow?

-Or dolls to play with?
-Dolls? You mean like Froggy Doo?

This must be quite a case for you.

Are you going to find Froggy Doo?

-You can count on it, son.
-Me, too!

All right.

Nice hat, kid.

Now why don't you two
go home to your mommies?

We've got some work to do.

Hey! The FBl is a public agency.
That means you work for me.

So, did you come up with a motive yet?

People are driven by only one of
two motives, kid, greed or revenge.

lt's human nature.

Don't forget to brush your teeth, son.

The last time we saw him,
he was backstage.

And when you went back
to your dressing room

to get the puppet, it was gone?

-Please, you don't call him that.
-Stop it, Herb, that's what it is.

No, he happens not to be a puppet,
he happens to be...

Herb!

To be a marionette.

One, two...

Hello.

lf you want him back, it'll cost you $500.

No, make it $1,000.
You went to the Feds.

Well, where is he?
What have you done with him?

Just have the money ready
by tomorrow night.

We'll call back with the drop location.

Keep him on the line.

Okay. Sir, sir, could l talk
with him, please? Just to tell him that...

-Did you get it?
-Did you get it?

Old Faithful's. Hi, Roxie.

Yeah, still here.

Get over here!

Fix you...

Hey, baby, how you doing?

No, no, l'll be out of here
in about five minutes.

That's what you said an hour ago.

l'm just gonna finish this beer
and l'll, you know, be on my way.

We have to talk. You promised.

Come on, baby, it's just five minutes.

-How much have you spent?
-l... l don't know, a couple of bucks.

We don't have a couple of bucks.

Damn it, Mick, we can barely
afford the mortgage.

Dad.

Quiet.

Or your mama's going to scalp us.

l miss Froggy Doo.
Will you help me find him?

l gotta go to work, champ.

Somebody's got to
bring home the bacon.

Mom does. She gets it at Spreen's.

Don't you worry, pal.

He'll be back.

Good night, pal.

-Trixie agrees with the Feds.
-Yeah, so do the Hardy Boys.

lt always boils down
to either greed or revenge.

But the only problem is
everybody loves Happy Herb.

Are you sure?
l mean, Happy Herb has no enemies?

l know, Binky's the enemy
of Happy Herb.

Binky, l gotta ask you,

where were you
when Froggy was taken?

You're as bad as the Feds.

Like l told them, what makes you think
l had anything to do with it?

You had the motive.
Eliminate the competition.

Yeah.

l also have an alibi. l was right here
prepping my show when it happened.

You know, the truth is
l've always admired Herb.

There's a guy,
he's never been in it for the money.

Well, maybe you had an accomplice.

Why? This is the worst thing
that could have happened to my show.

With Froggy Doo gone,
the slicksters at the network,

they're going to be all over us.

They're going to make
Bublin and the bean counters

over at Channel 8
an offer they can't refuse,

and in a matter of time,
same thing's going to happen here.

Kids, with Froggy Doo gone,

you're looking at a dead man.

Maybe Froggy Doo's back?

Really, l wish l could do that.

We had this show in Detroit.

lt's supposed to be Froggy Doo time.

Hey, look. The junior defectives.

You guys couldn't find your own butts
with a map.

Yeah, you're a loser.
Just like your old man.

Froggy Doo is stupid and fake.

-He's not, he's not! He's not fakey!
-Shut up, spazmo!

-Hey, don't call him that.
-Who's going to stop me, chicken?

You? That's what l thought.
Only spazmos believe in Froggy Doo.

Hey, l told you not to call him that.

What are you going to do about it?

What, are you crazy?

-Whoa, Elliott, did you see...
-Just shut up!

-Just shut up!
-Come on, everyone.

Elliott, that was just like Dad.

l am not like Dad.
Now just leave me alone, okay?

-Elliott?
-What?

-Froggy's not fakey, is he?
-No, he's not fakey, okay? Jeez.

What now?

-Any ideas?
-You're supposed to find Froggy Doo.

What do you think l'm doing, stupid?

-Why do you talk to him like that?
-Like what?

You're always calling him names,
like stupid or birdbrain.

He's my brother, that's what we do.

-Well, that's stupid.
-Yeah, that's stupid.

Like l care!

lke and Tina Turner,
The Modern Folk Quartet,

Dusty Springfield,
The Ronettes, Bo Diddley,

and special guest star, David
"The Man From UNCLE" McCallum.

lt's so far out, it's in.

That's right, it's gonna be the show
for the in crowd.

You don't want to miss it.

Haley? Haley, you up?

Elvis Presley with All Shook Up.

Well, bless my soul
what's wrong with me?

l'm itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree

My gosh.

l'm acting wild as a bug

l'm in love

l'm all shook up

Yeah, yeah, l'm all shook up

Elliott, is that you?

Haley, l told you not to leave
your walkie on at night.

You're gonna run down the batteries.

Sorry.

Elliott, what was that you were saying?

l didn't quite catch it.

Just that we need
to focus in on the motive.

Good idea.

Okay, we'll start in the morning.

Now turn off your walkie.

Okay. Elliott, sweet dreams.

Good night.

l'm in love
l'm all shook up

Yeah, yeah, yeah

l'm in love
l'm all shook up

Yeah, yeah, yeah

-Elliott, what was that?
-Rocky, stay here.

Elliott? Are you okay?

Dad, there's something wrong
at Elliott's house!

Rocky.

Oh, my God.

Roxie, you all right?

Your dad's home.

Big deal.

-So you really think this will work?
-Well, l hope so. lt's our only chance.

No way.

Come on. You want to be
a real reporter, don't you?

lt's way too dangerous
and definitely illegal.

-No, it's not.
-lt's the FBl.

l know. They come in every morning
for breakfast at 10:00.

Actually, Hardigan comes in every
morning at 10:00 to call Washington.

Agent Brinkman,
what would you like this morning?

-Menu?
-Okay. There you go.

FBl, Agent Wadell.

Wadell, it's Hardigan.
lt'll all be over tonight.

Be sure to tell Mr. Hoover
in your report that...

Tell them l say hello.

...we cracked this case
in less than 2 days.

Yes, sure. l'll type it in bold.
What time's the drop?

1 1 :00 p.m.

Where?

Broke the tip.

There's an old abandoned mill
not far from here.

-lt's Nelson's Mill. Orin, you got to drive.
-No way, that place is creepy.

All we need to do is get there first
and take a picture of the kidnapper.

Oh, really?

-Keep us posted.
-Copy that.

-And what about the FBl?
-You just leave them to me.

Please, l mean, it's for little Rocky.

We cannot be out of gas,
l just filled it up this morning.

-Oh, you just filled it up this morning?
-Yes.

Did you? ls that what you did?
Filled it up?

More correctly,
you can't have filled it up this morning,

for we are out of gas tonight.

Daft bugger has no idea
we're not behind him anymore.

Hello?

Hello?

Froggy? lf you can hear me,

l'm coming for you.

Okay, it's in.

l'll see you soon, Froggy.

Okay, when l give the word,

we're going to jump up
and both flash at once.

Here they come.

Now!

Gotcha!

''Bogus kidnappers confess,

'''We bought the bow tie
at a five-and-dime.'''

Orders up. Well, what do you know?

Looks like you found Froggy Doo
after all.

-Enjoy, fellas.
-Yeah, we will.

That's nothing compared to what HQ's
gonna do when they find out about this.

Well, we're already stationed
in New Jersey,

-how much worse can it get?
-Don't even ask that question.

Our only hope is to find that puppet.

-Well, technically, it's a marionette, sir.
-Oh, it's a marionette.

-Yeah.
-lt's not a puppet?

No, sir, puppets are operated
from underneath, with a hand,

whereas the marionette is operated
from above...

Don't make me shoot you!

Can l get some syrup?

l'm famous.

Hey! Hey, Mom! Mom, did Dad see this?
l'm famous.

No, but when he does,

he'll probably whup you
for sneaking out last night.

l made the front page. l'm a hero.

You're no hero, Elliott.
Froggy Doo's still missing.

Yeah, well, the investigation's not over.

Hi. Can we talk to him?

Why don't you kids just let it lie?

-He's out by the pumpkin patch.
-See, l told you it was real.

-Hi, Happy Herb.
-Hi.

Happy Herb,
how heavy was Froggy Doo's case?

l found some scratch marks,

and l think
they might have been made by it.

l would say it's about 35 pounds,
then you add Froggy Doo,

forty-one-and-a-half pounds, l'd say.

Very much like you, huh?

Elliott, control your dog
or l'll call the pound!

Sport! Go sit down!

Don't worry, Happy Herb.

My brother promised
he'd find Froggy Doo.

That's a great thought,
but he's not going to be able to do that.

Oh, yes, he can.
'Cause he's smarter than the FBl.

Sport usually digs for something.

Yeah, well,
maybe he was digging for China.

Sport only digs when there's something
worth digging for.

What are you saying?

l'm saying maybe we should be
digging up,

instead of covering up.

You're really starting to bug me, kid.

l knew it!

Satisfied, Sherlock?

Come on, honey, blow out your candles.

l'm supposed to be on Froggy Doo
for my birthday.

l know, baby.

Come on, Rocky! Make a wish.

Froggy?

Froggy?

-Hey, let's have some cake.
-lt's chocolate. Your favorite, right?

No, l want to wait for Dad.

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday, dear Rocky

-Rocky? Where's my boy?
-l need to talk to you.

Cool out, l got a right to celebrate.
lt's my boy's birthday.

You're drunk, Mick. Leave him alone.

Hey, pal, why are you guys all sleeping?

Why is everybody asleep? Come on,
buddy, wake up. lt's party time.

-The party was three hours ago!
-Would you give it a rest? Please!

Elliott, why don't you, you know, go...
Go fetch me a cold beer, would you?

Hey, Son, look what l got for you
for your birthday.

One just like your old man, you see?

We're going to be just like twins.
Let me put it on you, come on.

Turn it over... Oh, shoot.

l got it right here. Oh, no!

Darn it!

-Good job, Dad!
-Just give it a rest, okay?

l thought l asked you to get me a beer.
Move it!

Where were you?

Party time, Dad! Party time!

Last call, Dad!

-Elliott, stop it!
-That's enough!

You're such a loser!

That's right! That's right!
You run away, you little coward.

Little coward?

He is the only one brave enough to say
what we're all really thinking.

l hate him.

l hate him!

l hate him!

l really hate him.

-No, you don't.
-Yes, l do.

He hates me for making him quit.

He blames me for all of it.

-No, he doesn't. He just doesn't...
-He hates me. Yes, he does.

He... He hates me.

l know it's hard to understand, El.

This is not about you.

Right now the world
is just a little too much

for your father to handle.

He loves you. We both do.

What's wrong, Wayne?

Well, Mick got into a fight last night.
But he's all right.

-Where is he?
-Jail.

He busted up Old Faithful's
pretty bad last night.

My guess is, the judge is gonna
keep him for a bit this time.

Roxie...

Elliott Plumm, this is the FBl. Pull over.

-Who wrote the note, kid?
-What note?

The one that came with the rock.

This kid, Billy. He has it in for me.

Billy Swanson, aka Billy the Bully?

Yeah, we know all about him.
His alibi's airtight.

Now who wrote the note?

Well, l don't know.
You're the FBl, you guys tell me.

lt was you.

You must have wadded it up
and thrown it away.

Sport brought it to me and my dad
like a ball this morning.

-Why didn't you tell me about the note?
-Just let me explain, okay?

What's wrong with you?

Do you like seeing your name
in the paper so much

-that you would risk Rocky getting hurt?
-No, it's not what you think.

l think you were doing it to be
some kind of a big deal, like your father.

-What do you know about my father?
-l know you're invisible to him.

Elliott, you're not invisible to me.

l will be soon, okay? We're moving.
This is all over and...

And none of this matters anymore.

-Moving? Where?
-St. Louis.

-Elliott, you're my friend.
-Just leave me alone, okay?

Just... Just go home
and stop bugging me.

-Bugging you?
-Yes. Yes, go make some other friends.

You think l have nothing better to do
than just baby-sit the new girl in town?

Goodbye, Froggy, l'm going to miss you.

-Neat-o.
-Hey, Rock.

-Hiya, Dad.
-How you doing, champ?

-Good.
-All right.

-l missed you, Dad.
-Are you okay?

Oh, yeah.
You ought to see the other guy.

-Does it hurt?
-Nah!

Take more than that
to put the hurt on your old man.

Hey, Rox.

They got me on drunk and disorderly
unless l can post bail.

Maybe Cookie and Dirty Pat
can take up a collection.

Oh, by the way,
l have a message from your boss.

''You're fired.''

Mick, l have waited long enough
for you to grow up,

-and l can't wait any longer.
-Look, all right. You win, okay?

No more Old Faithful's.

Except on weekends,
of course, right, champ?

Yeah.

We are way beyond that, Mick.

-The boys and l are leaving.
-What do you mean, leaving?

You are not going to lose me
the house l grew up in.

l'm putting it up for rent,

and we're going to move in
with Aunt Carol.

l just brought the boys in
to say goodbye.

Look, baby,

you can't go to St. Louis.

-Boys, say goodbye to your father.
-l want Dad to come.

Wait. l'll get another job, okay, Rox?
A better one.

l mean, you know what the big city
will do to these boys.

l don't think it can be any worse

than what you're doing to them
right here.

Dad.

Rox! Rox!

l love you.

We love you, too.

That's what makes this all so sad.

Looks like you're going to have to be
the man of the house for a while, huh?

l'm going to need you
to look after your mother and Rocky.

l already do, Dad.

That's right, l guess you do.

So no leads on old Froggy Doo, huh?

lt's just a puppet, Dad.

Well, you tried.

Nothing worse than not giving it
your best shot, right, Son?

Best shot?

ls that what this all is, Dad,
you giving it your best shot?

Don't you talk to me like that.
l'm still your father.

Oh, okay,
so now you want to be my father, huh?

Hey, you got something to say,
why don't you say it?

Sorry l ruined your life, Dad!

Hey, get... Get back here!
Son, you look at me!

Why should l? You never look at me.
You treat me like l'm invisible.

Am l invisible to you now, Dad, huh?

You were never invisible to me.

ln fact, you were way too visible.

Way too much of a reminder.

Reminder of what?

Of what l could have been.
Boxing was my ticket out of here.

But l let the fear beat me, Son,

let the fear beat me.

But you're not afraid of anybody.

No, sir. l ain't afraid of no fighter.

l was just afraid to give it my best shot
and come up short, you know?

Afraid to take a chance
and, you know, come home a loser.

lnstead, l took the coward's way out.

l never left.

Blamed it on your mother's pregnancy.

Blamed it on you.

Can you ever forgive me, Son?

Things are gonna be
a lot different around here.

Real different.

Love you, Son.

Sorry.

Mom.

Mom, l think l know
how to find Froggy Doo.

Enough is enough. Bike in the back.

Off. No more looking for that frog.
The FBl and the police will settle it.

We're gonna go home
and finish packing.

-Understood?
-Yes.

-Understood?
-Yes.

Haley, if you want to come over later
and say goodbye to the boys,

you can, all right?

ln the truck.

Okay, we have to be very careful
and very quiet

so that Mom doesn't hear us.

-Understood?
-Okay.

Okay, come down slowly.

l got you.

Hey, it's the junior detectives.

-Are my pictures from the fair back yet?
-Yeah, l got them back this morning.

-What are you looking for?
-Froggy Doo's kidnapper.

You're suppose to take pictures
of Happy Herb.

Okay, here we go.

-Orin, do you have a magnifying glass?
-Yeah, right here.

You don't have a bigger one?

That's more like it.

l knew it. He must have dragged it
to the dumpster

-and come back for it later.
-Who?

l don't know. But whoever it is,
it looks like he hurt his hand.

-He probably burnt it setting the fire.
-Why would he set a fire?

Misdirection. See, he lights the fire,

then while everybody's looking
the other way,

he grabs the case
and throws it in the dumpster.

-But who is he?
-That's what we've got to figure out.

Wally knows everybody
who worked that day.

-Come on. Thanks, Orin.
-Okay, bye guys. Good luck.

Two pounds of potatoes,
one box Shredded Wheat.

No, the New Market King
doesn't deliver, only we do.

Okay, Mrs. Sargus. Yeah. Okay. Bye.

Hey, kids, what's up?

We need a list of everybody
who worked on the show.

Yeah.

Gee, l don't think l have one.
But l'll tell you what,

give me a day or two,
l'll put one together.

-But we need it now.
-We need it now.

What am l supposed to do, guys?
l can't shut down the store.

He has an owie.

This is... lt's just a bad paper cut.
Thanks for your concern, kids.

-Okay, Wally, see you tomorrow then.
-Okay, see you.

Okay, say it,
just like we practiced, okay?

Spreen's Mercantile, can l help you?

Yahoo, l'm Froggy Doo. lt's dark in here.

Let me out, l can't breathe.

Bye.

Good job! Come on.

Look, you were right.

Okay, guys, here's the plan.

Orin, you're on Wally.

The rest of us, we're gonna go out to
Happy Herb's and tell him what we got.

-Why would Wally steal Froggy Doo?
-Greed or revenge.

Well, Trixie's new book says
sometimes it's love.

-Here we are.
-We really need to talk to Happy Herb.

l told you, he's not here.
He's at the station saying his goodbyes.

l think he's finally starting to get past
all this Froggy Doo business.

So, who else has seen
these little pictures of yours?

-No one.
-No one.

l suppose you have them on you?

-They're hidden.
-They're hidden.

Oh, that was very smart.

So tell me, who is it?
Who took Froggy Doo?

-lt's Wally!
-Wally? Oh, that little weasel.

You know, l never trusted
that clumsy bag boy.

No, it's Wally.
He's here with your groceries.

Oh, yes, my groceries.

What was l thinking?
That boy is a saint.

Now don't you go anywhere.

-She's totally in on it.
-l know.

-Froggy Doo called me.
-The kids.

Oh, hello, Wally.

The kids have photos of you, you idiot.

But why would the Genie
steal Froggy Doo?

For love.

Are you sure about the nephew?

-He hates his uncle, right?
-Yeah.

So he drives their pitchman off the air,
and the business tanks.

Oh, yeah, right.

Well, what do you want me to do?

You have to go in there
and take care of them.

-What do you mean, take care of them?
-Oh, l don't know.

Just do whatever you're supposed to do
with naughty children

who can send you away to prison.

We've got to get out of here.

Let us out!

This is more than l signed up for.

The photos prove nothing
without the body.

Get rid of it!
Or l'm taking you down with me.

Give me that.

-He looks nervous coming out.
-He looked nervous going in.

He's good. What?

-ls everyone tailing our suspect, huh?
-l don't know.

-You and your buddy over here.
-He's just a kid.

You guys want to get downtown,
maybe grab a malt?

-No. l just...
-Let's go.

Hey, it's the FBl.

-Hey! We're in here!
-Hey!

Froggy Doo is in the pumpkin patch.
l knew it.

See, l told you so.

We cannot let her get away with this.

Froggy! Genie's got Froggy.

Got to stop her.

Sport!

That's it. l got a great idea.
Come on, let's go.

Go fetch, Sport!

Yes!

Haley, go inside, call your dad

and call Happy Herb
at the TV station, okay?

-Got it.
-Rocky, you want to go for a ride?

Yeah!

Come on, let's go find Froggy Doo.

Yeah!

Wayne, it's your daughter.

Haley, honey, where are you?
You got everyone worried sick.

Okay, peach, you stay put.
l'm going to be right there.

Wayne, my boys okay?

Hey, why don't you let me
come with you, huh?

No can do, Mick. l'm sorry.

Come on, Wayne. lt's my boys. Please!

Haley, please try it one more time.

Elliott, come in. Please, Elliott, come in.

Nothing? l've got to find her
before the FBl does.

Haley, come in.

Elliot, l'm here with Happy Herb
and my dad's on his way.

Yeah, we lost her. She's gone.

This is driving me crazy.

Elliott, look, it's Sport!

Haley, Sport's taking a short cut,
she's headed to Carlson's Bridge.

Carlson's Bridge!

Wayne, your daughter just called,
they're heading out to Carlson's Bridge.

-We're on it!
-l know a short cut. Make a left here.

Come on, baby!

No grasp of circumstance, eight letters.

''Clueless.''

-Hey, kid, where's the fire?
-Fire? l don't know.

But the Genie has Froggy Doo,
and they're heading to Carlson's Bridge.

-To the bridge?
-Why not?

The Genie has Froggy Doo
and is heading for Carlson's Bridge.

Thanks, guys.

Unbelievable.

-Stop! Don't do it!
-Stay back.

Hold it. Please!

Okay, don't do it.

'Cause you're never going
to get away with it.

lt's your word against mine.

-You're a bad Genie.
-There's no such thing, you little brat.

So long, Froggy Doo.

Oh, no!

Viv! Wait!

-The police are on their way.
-Please!

Stay away, Herb.

-Why, Viv?
-Why?

-Why?
-You still can't see it, can you?

Then how could you?
Look at what they've done to you.

The little cretins have sucked you dry.

-They're my kids, Viv. They need me.
-They're not your kids.

-No, no, no, wait.
-Help!

l'm so sorry, Viv.
What have l done to you?

lt's him or me, Herb. lt's your choice.

Wrong answer.

-Froggy!
-No!

-Froggy!
-Froggy! Froggy!

Froggy! No!
Elliott! There's a witch in the river.

Oh, my gosh! No!

-Elliott!
-Elliott!

-No! Elliott!
-Elliott, swim.

-Swim, Elliott, swim!
-Swim!

-This way. Come on, Rocky.
-Haley, l'll call for help.

-Elliott, where are you?
-Elliott!

Elliott, can you hear me?

-Where are you?
-Come on, Rocky.

Wayne, Happy Herb just called.
Elliott jumped off Carlson's Bridge.

l'll scout the river on foot,
you tell Roxie where l am.

We're on it.

Elliott!

Are you all right?

l'm here for you. l love you, Son.

Love you too, Dad.

That's great. That's great. Just perfect.

Doesn't get any better than that.

Well, it can't get any worse.

Elliott, you found Froggy Doo.

l know.

-Are you all right?
-Yeah.

You're the bravest boyfriend
a girl ever had.

Oh, my gosh. Viv? Viv, are you all right?

l'm so sorry, Herb. l just didn't...
l didn't know what else to do.

Honey, it's just a puppet.

Do you know how much l love you?

-You can come out now, Froggy Doo.
-No, Rocky, wait!

Froggy Doo is fakey.

No, he isn't, Rock, he...

See, he's just...
Just a little dirty, that's all.

See? See, buddy?

-Yeah.
-You're okay, right, Froggy?

l ain't Fakey Doo, l'm Froggy Doo!

l ain't Fakey Doo, l'm Froggy Doo!

Just give me a bath
and l'm good as new.

-Heya, Rock!
-Fakey Daddy.

Rock! Rock!

-l got this, Dad.
-Okay, Son.

Hey, buddy.
Look, l'm sorry about Froggy Doo, pal.

You knew he was fakey,
but you jumped anyway.

Yeah, that's what brothers do
for each other.

You're my best friend, Elliott.

Yeah, you're mine, too.

-Mom!
-Mom!

Are you okay? Hi, baby.

Photo op, guys.
Front page for the hero, Elliott.

Orin, it's not about that anymore.

Haley.

All right, big smile.

And in a flash,
that summer had changed our lives.

Rocky realized that just because
Froggy Doo was make-believe,

it didn't mean
he had to love him any less.

Excuse me.

Dad got a better job, as promised,
and gave up Old Faithful's altogether,

and l think
that made Mom happiest of all.

And me,
l eventually married the girl next door.

But that's a story for another day.

Go fish.

How much worse can it get? That's rich.
