[phone rings]

Hello?

Wait a minute.

Turn that down, will ya?
I can't hear.

[Chief] OK. Start
It's your dime.

Shilling flip.
We're in England.

[Chief] Who? Oh, yes, sir.
He's here sir.

Its for you, Pop. Inspector
Bunthorne of Scotland Yard.

[Chan] Hello.

Yes.

Inspector. Of course.

He probably needs some help down
at the Yard.

I'm ready, Chief.

Immediately, Inspector. Goodbye.

We're heading for
Scotland Yard, right Pop?

Wrong.

I'm headed for Scotland Yard.

You're headed for Westminster
Abbey, where I'll meet you
later.

Aw, Pop.

In your own words. Let's split.

This is the famous Westminster
Abbey.

It sure is a big one,
that's for sure.

Yeah, that's for sure.

There's the Stone of Scones
under that throne.

And for 600 years. All the kings
of England have been crowned on
that stone.

Boy, that must have been pretty
crowded.

[laughs] Get it, Henry?

All those kings on one little
old rock? Ha, ha, ha, ha.

I get it. And I'd like to give
it back.

Look. Look it's Hoppy.

[dog barks]

[dog whimpers]

Is it the real Hoppy?

That he is, chum.

The most famous kangaroo in the
world.

I'm Rod Whitfield. I invented
Kangaroo Cola.

Closing time, ladies and
gentlemen. Time to leave.

All visitors please exit through
the front door.

Well, time to go Hoppy.

I told them to pay the light
bill.

Will you be quiet.

Everybody keep a hand on his
wallet.

Right, Chief.

Is everyone all right?

Sure, Henry. Everything's fine.

Blimey. No it's not.
Everything's a ruddy mess.

Someone's copped the Coronation
Stone.

It's a heist, don't anyone leave
London.

Wham, bam. England's in a jam.

I'm not waitin' around for no
bobbies.

I've got a schedule to keep.

They want me, my ship's berthed
right down below.

I'm afraid we have to be going,
too.

You can't do that.

We have to make a personal
appearance

in the park across from
Buckingham Palace.

But I've notified the police.

They can
contact me at my hotel.

Come along, Hoppy.

The fuzz won't like that.

No, the fuzz won't like that.

The Stone of Scones is
priceless, because it cannot be
replaced.

Mr. Chan.

Yes, Inspector Bunthorne?

The guard found this note on the
coronation chair.

"Release Dabney McGee from
prison by midnight,

or England will never see the
Stone of Scones again."

Who's Dabney McGee?

The most notorious criminal in
Britain.

Mr. Chan, you must help us solve
this crime.

Don't worry inspector. With us
Chans on the job, this case is
practically solved already.

On a fast rundown of the
suspects, my money's on Captain
Rigby.

Yeah, Captain Rigby.

Why him?

Uh, tell her Chief.

'Cause right down there's his
boat,

and when the lights went out,

all he had to do was grab
the stone

and drop it out the
window.

Bingo, no evidence.

Boy. What a brain, Chief.

Come on. We're gonna stick to
that captain like his own
shadow.

What makes you suspect Mr.
Whitfield of abducting the
Coronation Stone Ann?

Didn't you see the big hurry he
was in to get away before the
police came?

But what does he have to gain?

Publicity.

First, Kangaroo Cola.

That criminal, Dabny McGee, and
the Stone of Scones.

They make pretty good headlines.

Hey, there he goes.

Let's tail him.

It's gotta be the guard.

Why?

Who had a better chance?
Nobody.

He's the one all right.

But what would his reason be?

Money.

I bet whoever wants Dabny McGee
turned loose,

paid him plenty to
steal that stone.

There he is.

Better start her up, Stanley.
We...

Now, what are you doing?

I figure if the guard stops me,

he'll just think I'm a typical
citizen.

That's typical?

Sure. Who's more typical than a
plain old king.

Get rid of that stupid disguise
and let's go.

Boy, what a grouch.

It sure is sp-sp-spooky out
here.

You're not scared, are you,
Mimi?

Not as long as you're holding my
hand.

[Chief] I'm not holding your
hand.

Then I guess it's Nancy.

[Nancy] I'm not holding your
hand, I'm over here.

Sc-sc-scooter? Don't you d-dare
t-tell me

you're not holding
m-m-m-my hand.

Unh uh. My hands are in my
pockets.

Yipe.

Come on will you? We gotta find
Captain Rigby.

These bicycles are ridiculous.

My legs are worn down to the
knees.

Couldn't you rent anything
better?

What do you expect for one pound
six pence?

Stop complaining and peddle.

Don't get too close, Stanley. I
think he's getting suspicious.

We'd better hit Chan plan nine.

[buzzing and static noise]

That'll keep us out of trouble.

Right.

Now let's...

[whistle blows]

Uh, oh.

[whistle blows]

What do you suppose we did now?

You seem to have missed a stop
back there, lad.

Just back up to the corner.

We don't have time, we're in a
hurry.

In an hurry. This is a bus, is
it not?

Well, not really.

Enough of that now you get this
bus back there.

[buzzing]

And pick up those people who
are...

Where did that bus go?

What bus?

You see a bus, Henry?

Not me.

I'd have sworn there was a bus
here a minute ago.

No, we're just the typical
English taxi.

All right, then. Get along with
you. Move along.

I can't see a thing, Flip.

If it was any thicker, we could
walk on it.

You see anything, Chief?

No. You better take another
look, Scooter.

Turn me around a little.

Hold it.

Now we're headed right at the
boat.

Everybody stick together.

[whistles]

Who's down there?

Everybody, OK?

We're OK, Chief.

[man] Ahoy, the boat. Stone
aboard.

Aye, aye, Captain. We're ready
to sail.

Very well. Stand by to cast off.

[bell ringing and fog horn]

You hear that?
They've got the stone.

And they're ready to leave.

What are we gonna do, Chief?

We're gonna make sure we're on
that boat when it does leave.

[growling]

[barking]

Watch it, would ya.

Let's go.

It's impossible Mr. Chan.

There is no sign of the
Coronation Stone in the Abbey.

Then it was removed from the
Abbey.

That's impossible too.

Not a person there could conceal
a stone that size.

Scotland Yard to Inspector
Bunthorne.

We are ready with Mr.
Chan's telephone call.

When the impossible is
eliminated, then what is left

must be possible.

You think this will give us
the answer?

I think it will give us part of
the answer.

This is Chan. Go ahead please.

I'm pooped.

I couldn't pedal another foot
for all the Kangaroo Cola in the
world.

Perhaps it won't be necessary to
follow Mr. Whitfield.

Hey. That's right.

He said they'd be across from
Buckingham Palace.

Remember?

Precisely.

We may even beat them there.

Not unless you get off your seat
and on your feet. Let's go.

[fog horn]

I sure hope we land soon.

I'm getting sea sick.

You can't, we're on a river.

Can a person get river-sick?

Who's there?

I hear voices. Who is it?

[whispering] Captain Rigby.
Get down.

Speak up.

Who's hiding there?

[imitating fog horn]

[imitation of bell ringing]

Just off the starboard bow.

All to port helmsmen.

You were wonderful Chu Chu.

Good work Chu Chu.

Yeah, good work.

The fog's gone.

Stay out of sight.

Wow.

It's a real castle.

All hands prepare to dock and
unload cargo.

Get ready. Where that cargo
goes, we go.

Pretty neat, huh?

I guess I fooled that bobby
pretty good.

Quit patting yourself on the
back

and keep your eye on the
guard.

Hey he's going into that
department store.

Jarrod's Department Store
Limited.

But that sign on the door says
closed.

What's he going in there for?

There's only one way to find
out.

Right, we follow him.

Well, this is the park.

But I don't see Hoppy or Mr
Whitfield around.

Perhaps their appointment is
elsewhere in the park.

Could be. Let's split up and
look.

We'll keep in touch by Chan com.

Hi. Have you seen any sign of a
man and a kangaroo?

Hello, up there. Hello.

OK. I can take a hint.

This is Ann. Anyone see
anything?

Nothing here. How 'bout you,
Tom?

Negative.

Well, that does it.

Might as well...

Wait a minute. I may have
something.

Get back here. Quick.

Looks like we're all in the
clear.

Yikes.

It's only an empty suit of
armor.

[banging]

See? Nobody home.

[banging]

Yeah. Nobody home.

Come on, let's find Captain
Rigby.

[loud squeak]

Anyone hear anything?

Like a squeak?

Yeah. Like a squeak.

I didn't.

[armor] Not me.

Uhn uh.

I guess it was my imagin...

[all] Yikes.

He sure runs fast in that iron
overcoat.

He's gone.

Let's go before he gets back.

There he goes.

Comfy?

Well. If you could just shift
your right arm a little...

Ouch.

What are you kids doing here?

This store closed 20 minutes
ago.

Oh, boy. Get him.

We got you dead to rights, Mr.
Phipps.

Just hand over the stone.

Stone? What Stone?

The one you got hidden. Why else
would you be here this time of
night?

Because I'm the night watchman.

And for your information,
Laddie. You're trespassing.

Trespassing?

Gee, Pop. We'd have bet our
lives

the guard was the guilty
one.

Fortunately, you did not have to
make such a wager.

I think it's time to go, Chan.

If you two can manage to keep
your mouths free of your feet,

you may accompany us.

This caper's a biggy, Scooter.
We gotta crack it.

Right, Chief. We've gotta crack
it.

[man] I'll double my offer,
Rigby. You can't refuse me.

I'm sorry your Lordship. I'm
afraid you don't have enough
money.

That's it. They're making a deal
for the Coronation Stone.

Let's get em.

Hold it right there, men. This
is a bust.

Yeah, this is a bust.

You're not going to sell that
stone.

Right you are, Missy. Nobody's
going to sell him.

- Huh?
- Who's him?

Cedric Stone. The best cook in
Her Majesty's Merchant Marines.

Merchant Marines?

Aye. Unless he's onboard my
ship,

it doesn't sail.
Right, Cedric?

Right you are, guv'nor.

Now, what were you saying about
Stone?

Uh, he didn't mean stones. He
meant rocks.

Yeah, in our heads.

Hey, put me down.

Let me go.

Watch it there.

Now then what's all this
skulking about?

Don't change the subject, Mr.
Whitfield. We know you took it.

Took what?

The Stone of Scones.

Oh really now.

You might as well confess.

[Whitfield] Very well.

I'll confess if you tell
me one thing.

What's that?

How did I get the stone

out of Westminster Abbey?

Uh. Tell him Tom.

Uh, why don't you tell him?

Well, you're the oldest, Suzy.
I think you ought to tell him.

I'm playing with Hoppy. You tell
him, Ann.

Gee, Mr. Whitfield, we never
thought of that.

I guess we made a mistake.

Well, no harm done.

Tell you what. When you get to
Australia, you look up Hoopy and
me OK?

We sure will.

Hoppy and me are leaving pretty
soon.

[Chan] I don't think you'll be
leaving for some time...

...Mr. McGee.

McGee?

That's the name of the man in
prison.

[Chan] Who is Mr. Whitfield's
brother.

That's why he stole the
Coronation Stone.

No way, Pop. He couldn't have
gotten it out of the Abbey.

Of course not.

No one could have gotten it out.

No person could have
gotten it out.

If you please, Hoppy.

You'll never hold me.

[loud thud]

Hoppy, let me go.

That's sweet. Hoppy's
kissing him.

Yeah. He's kissing him right
into jail.

[Chan] Well, there it is
children.

The Stone of Scones, back where
it belongs.

And so is Mr. Whitfield.

Right. In the cooler.

Yeah, in the cooler.

I wish Hoppy were here.

Well, we could always go to see
him...

...in the London Zoo.

Besides... we have our own
Hoppy.

We do?

Sure. Take a look.

Oh, Chu Chu.
