¶ Who would think someone... ¶¶

My people need help,
Mr. Chan.

The Great One
has taken everything.

Soon we starve.

Send them back.

Outsiders will make
the Great One more angry.

We do not need intruders.

What's bothering him?

This is just a wild guess,
but I don't think he wants
us here.

[The Great One]
Attend me.

The Great One speaks.

Attend me,
worthless ones.

Bona Bona is displeased
with the offerings
of his people.

What offerings are those?

We are humble pearl fisherman.

For weeks,
the Great One
demands our pearls.

But the oyster beds
are picked clean.

You have angered Bona Bona.

If you displease me
once more,

I shall destroy
your village.

Behold a sample
of my wrath.

[gasping]

Wham bam,
they're really in a jam!

No, you will not
examine Bona Bona.

No one is allowed
to touch the great one.

That is why Molokai
never leaves the temple steps.

He sleeps on the steps

to protect Bona Bona
from human touch.

[Chan]
I shall respect
your tradition.

This is a real slick con job.
It's the old protection racket.

Pay up or else.

Who's the crook, Flip?

If I knew that, I could
wrap up this caper right now.

We gotta case the island
till we get a lead.

Look!

It's Captain Sly.

He sure is acting funny.

Yeah, why is he sneaking
around back there?

Is he the one, Flip?

Could be.
Maybe he's waiting
for everyone to leave

so he can collect
a payoff.

Let's get him.

Not yet.
First we gotta find
the pearls.

I'll bet they're on his boat.

I feel a solution would
be greatly facilitated
if we could investigate

the interior
of the bronze statuary.

Yeah, but that big temple guard
won't let us near it.

I keep wondering,
what made the hut fall down?

Nobody's gonna stop us
from investigating that.

Let's go.

Customers are rare
these days, Mr. Chan.

This unfortunate business
with the talking idol.

It's ruined my business.

You may leave now, Kaloka.

Thank you, Mr. Bluestreak.

I will see you in the morning.

Fine young man.
Self-educated.

But business is so bad
they have to let him go.

That is unfortunate.

What can I do for you,
Mr. Chan?

May I use your shortwave radio?

Why certainly, sir.
Certainly.

Blast these moths.

You must forgive me,
Mr. Chan.

The radio is
in the back room, sir.

Thank you.

- Get away. Get away!
- Wait a minute.

Whoever's behind this has
to get those pearls out
of the boat, right?

Right.
So if we see who takes 'em...

We've got the crook.

Excellent deduction.
Hmm. Let's see.

Our basis objective is
to arrange a series
of mirrors

to reflect the interior
of Bona Bona's bowl.

This can be accomplished
by first attaching a single...

Uh-oh.

Pears are still there.
Captain Sly is sneaking
into the jungle,

carrying a basket.

We better see
what he's up to.

I'll stay here
and keep an eye
on the pearls.

Holy moly!
They're gone.

I better tell the kids.

It's Bluestreak.
He's the one.

Are those the pearls?

Of course. And we better
get what's left in that sack.

Come on.

Hi, Mr. Bluestreak.

Yes, yes, what is it?

We'd like to buy some...

Candy.

Yeah, candy.

Candy's not good for you.
I told you that, Scooter.

Not now.
We're on a case.

We'll take some
gumdrops, please.

Well, I hope that's
all you want.

I really must start
closing up now.

Hey, what's that,
Mr. Bluestreak?

Huh? What?

I don't see anything there.

Guess I was mistaken.
Good night, Mr. Bluestreak.

Boy, am I glad
to see you, pop.

You're just in time
for the pinch.

We busted this one
wide open.

Did you? Indeed.

The loot's in that sack
right there.

Loot? Pinch?

We'll let you make one phone
call before we book you.

Right, pop?

Wrong. These are not pearls.

- They're mothballs.
- Huh?

Of course they're mothballs.

They're to keep those dratted
insects away from me.

If I'm not mistaken,
Mr. Bluestreak is
suffering from acrophobia.

What-o-phobia?

Fear of flying insects.

We're sorry, Mr. Bluestreak.

We really are.

I would suggest you leave now.

Yes, sir. Come on, kids.

Now let's see.

We know it wasn't magic
that brought this hut down.

We do?

Of course we do.
There's no such thing as magic.

I'm sure glad you told me.
I thought there was.

Will you just keep looking?

Hey, look at that.
It's part of the leg
support of the hut.

Sure, that's it.
And somebody at the other
end of this wire

pulled out the leg
and the hut collapsed.

- But who?
- And how?

Let's find out.

These broken branches

would indicate that
Captain Sly came this way

and we are on his trail.

They could also indicate
that we're traveling
in circles

and we're on our own trail.

Look, fellas...

Yikes!
It's Bona Bona!

- Run!
- [shrieking]

If I had a boomerang

attached to
an elastic cord...

Yikes!

Stop talking and run.

Well, I guess we finally
lost Bona Bona.

I'm afraid we also lost
Captain Sly.

[shouting]

Hey, where'd everybody go?

It's Anne.

The pearls are gone.
I just turn my head for
a minute...

Hey, where's Captain Sly?

- We lost him.
- [rustling]

Shh. Maybe not.

That could be him.

Or the other one.

Hmm.
An interesting specimen.

Commonly known
as the wild pig.

They are known
to be quite mean.

Now this is the leg
of the hut.

Whoever was pulling it
is still out there.

All we have to do
is follow this wire.

You follow the wire.
I'll follow you.

OK, now don't turn
that sea lantern on

unless I tap you on the head.

How do you turn it on?

There's a switch
at the bottom.

Stanley, I said
don't turn it on

unless I tap you on the head.

I'm sorry, Henry.

Now turn it on
and help me find that wire.

Stanley, I said turn it on.

You didn't tap me on the head.

Give me that.

Those pearls
gotta be here someplace.

We'll start up on top.

OK? Now look every place.

It's not in there.
Check that little
door up there.

Uh-oh!

[whistle blows]

Gee, I blew the whistle.

That did it.
Better split this scene fast.

All right, Sly,
what's it gonna be?

The hard way
or the easy way?

What are you talking about?

That's the way
you're gonna play it, huh?

Scooter, keep an eye on him.

Right, Chief.

Hey, what's going on here?
And who blew my whistle?

I don't like no one
blowing my whistle.

I'll give you one more
chance, Sly.

Hand over those pearls
and I'll put in a good
word for you.

Pearls? You must be some
kind of little nut?

This is your last final chance.

I know you got pearls
in that basket, Sly.

You must be kidding.
I got a parrot in there.

We're detectives, you know?
You think you can put one
over on us.

Yikes!

There's a river up ahead.

What a choice.
A boar or a bath.

Empty oil drum, hop in.

[screaming]

You girls all right?

Yeah, this is fun.

Fun?

Anne is afflicted
with an abnormal judgment
of recreational pleasures.

Whatever that means.
I agree.

[banging]

What was that?

I believe it was G minor.

Should we get out
and swim to shore?

We can't.
We're in the rapids.

Might as well relax
and enjoy this crazy
rock concert.

Yeah, with real rock.

Alan, it sounds like
we're approaching a waterfall.

Look out! That's my foot.

Hey, look!

Uh-oh, now what?

He's swimming
toward the village.

So this is what pulled
the hut down.

Let's look inside.

Stanley, what are you doing?

Pulling in the sub.

Henry, I think you
better help me.

Now just follow me.

Wow. Watch it.

Holy moly. The pearls!

[loud bang]

Uh-oh, something hit us.

Twice.

- Look, it's Alan and Tom.
- And the girls.

Hey, it's Henry and Stanley.

What are you doing here?

Just sitting around
in a sub full of pearls.

No kidding.
You found them?

Yeah, but the crook got away.

I think he's headed back
to the village.

Hey, I think
I found something.

This might be interesting.

It's bronze. Listen.

[snoring]

[tapping]

I was not sleeping,
Great One.

Merely resting my eyes.

It's fastened
by a pivot screw.

You can slide it back
and forth.

Yikes!

Flip, Flip.

Flip, flip?

Nance.

Dance?

Nance.

Pop, if you can hear me,

we found the pearls.
Repeat, we found the pearls.

But the crook got away.

If you spot a guy
in a black wet suit,

grab him. It's him.
Over and out.

Search everywhere.
Find him.

Not now, Chu Chu.
We're busy.

[barking]

[howls]

He's trying
to tell us something.

OK, what is it, Chu Chu?

Chu Chu,
we can't go swimming now.

Maybe later.

No, it's something else.

Not swimming?

That's it.
The man in the wet suit.

Did you see him, Chu Chu?

Chu Chu and I are going
after him.

The rest of you,
get out a dragnet.

I know where there's
one of those dragnets.

Chu Chu, if this guy
reaches the ocean,

we'll lose him for sure.

You stay with him.
I'll circle around
and set up a roadblock.

Help! Help!

Good going, troops.

That's what I call a dragnet.

Not a nice trick
to play on medicine man.

You would be right, Chief,

but that is not
your medicine man.

Kaloka!
But you are one of us.

Which gave him the idea
to use an old legend
against his own people.

Want me to put the cuffs
on him, Pa?

No, I think Chief Kwala
will handle this.

OK, gang, we can close
the file on this one.

Nancy, let's get
at those gumdrops.

A-one, a-two.

It's unfortunate that
Bona Bona is made of bronze

and not of stone.

Why's that, Pop?

Because then he would
really be a rock singer.
