by some lady
who was a feline freak.
And the cats were part of the deal.
Ew! They're stuffed.
Yep.
It creates
an interesting atmosphere.
- Interesting isn't the word.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
It's a very weird town.
Hey, come on, Beethoven. Come on.
Come on, Beethoven.
So, so far I found nothing
about the Seligs.
Why don't you try
looking under "bank robberies"?
Maybe there'll be a chapter on
Rita and Moe. Yeah. Good idea.
Mm-hmm.
Looking for something?
Mr. Giles.
We were just researching
Rita and Moe.
Rita and Moe.
Yeah, you know, the bank robbers.
Yes. Every few years or so
I get a little run on research about them.
This week it's been like a stampede.
Apparently,
some young girl... not a local...
found an interesting $ 10 bill.
- Was that you?
- Uh, actually,
it was my dog, Beethoven.
So, it is true.
Do you mind if I see the money for myself?
Uh, actually,
it's at my Uncle Freddy's house.
Exactly where was this bill found?
Well, we don't know.
But that's why we're here...
so we can get clues
about Rita and Moe's last day.
I can't help you.
Why?
Everything is checked out.
Everything?
Checked out.
For a long time.
Come on, boy.
Hey, The Saga of the Seligs.
- Hey, Garrett. This is it!
- This is it!
I'll take that.
Uh, but hey...
Let's go.
Come on, Beethoven.
What's he taking it up there for?
I don't know,
but I'm gonna find out.
So, what do you know
about Mr. Giles, the librarian?
Giles? I don't know.
I'll go out on a limb
and say he likes books.
You good?
Uh-huh.
Dealer takes three.
Well, I don't know.
He's been around forever.
He sticks to himself. Hmm. Why?
Well, Garrett and I went up
to the library today,
and he seemed a little strange.
You'll get no argument from me there.
Your bet.
Okay, but one question first.
Mm-hmm.
What do you call it again
when you have all the same suit,
and they're all in order?
A straight flush.
Oh. Yeah, that's right.
Okay, then.
I bet all of this.
Take it.
You bluffed me.
- Oh, man. I cannot believe it.
- I learned from the best.
Torched by a teenager.
I am losing my touch.
And to think, I'm only 12.
Yeah.
I'm going up to bed.
Hey, don't eat all those.
We're playing again tomorrow.
Okay.
You know,
Camp Freddy's not so bad.
- Better than the Bahamas?
- Well, I wouldn't go that far.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Hey, Beethoven.
Know what a royal flush is?
Then I'm not playing you either.
What is it, boy?
- What happened?
- I think Beethoven just scared off a burglar.
I heard him howl.
That could have meant it was the ghosts.
- Mmm, no, I don't think so.
- Is anything missing?
I don't know.
I don't even know what I have.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
TheJackson 10 is missing.
And look.
They left this in its place.
This treasure hunting
has gotten out ofhand.
So, as far as you know,
nothing else was missing?
Well, no, as far as I know.
I... I think.
The ghost took it.
How else do you explain the flower?
Any idea how they got in?
Yeah, uh, they got in
through the window,
which I left open.
It... It's a hot night.
But what about Beethoven?
He was howling.
Beethoven never howls.
Honey, listen.
Don't worry about this.
I mean, we've got Beethoven
here to protect us,
we've got
my trusty Louisville Slugger,
and SheriffJulie is only
a phone call away.
We're gonna be safe.
Don't worry.
I know.
It's just a little freaky. That's all.
Hey, listen.
Don't you worry about it.
If anybody tries to come in here,
I'll do my very best Mark
McGwire impersonation, and I'll...
And I will, uh, at that point...
call SheriffJulie to help.
You see.
Your uncle will take good care of ya.
I better get back to the station.
Well, I, uh...
Okay.
Uh, Julie.
Uh, I was wondering if...
you... would...
uh, you wanted us
to go to the station with you?
Oh, no. That won't be necessary.
I have everything I need for the moment.
Keep up the good work, Beethoven,
and I might have
