Sara.
You were paying with real money.
But look.
I know. Looks strange.
But come here.
Come here.
Check this out.
I did a little Web surfing. You see?
[Julie]
There were AndrewJackson $ 10 bills.
Really?
It says here the first ones
rolled off the press in 1914,
and they stopped some time
in the late '20s.
- Did you say 1920?
- Mm-hmm.
This bill is very rare.
Collectors will pay anywhere
from 50 to $200 a bill.
Let me see that.
Oh, yeah. There it is right there.
"1920" in black and white.
[Garrett]
Whoa.
I don't get it.
What's the big deal about
the 1920's anyway?
Is it true?
Is it really Rita and Moe money?
That money is mine!
She snatched it out of my hand...
after I agreed to sell her
some of my finest lip gloss.
It was in my hand.
Issued in the year 1920.
- Where'd it come from?
- It wasn't me.
- It was him... Beethoven.
- [Barks]
- Oh.
- Nice doggie.
Come here to Mommy. Yes.
- [All Chattering]
- You want to come home
with Uncle Stu?
[Murmurs]
Will somebody please tell me
what's going on?
[Man]
Well, Sara, it's all about the history
of our fair town.
Hiram Berkin's mine produced
more pure mercury than
the rest of the country put together.
Millions of teeth have been filled
and temperatures taken...
because of our little burg right here.
The mine was open
until about 15 years ago.
- [Murmurs]
- Then those troublemakers from
the F.D.A. Started spreading those lies.
You know, it's a medical urban myth
that mercury is poisonous.
I use it all the time. I'm fine.
[Beethoven Grunting]
Oh, but our biggest claim to fame
came back in 1926.
We made all the papers then.
You know why, Sara?
- Why?
- Ah! Come here. I'll show you.
The famous Moe and Rita Selig.
They were bank robbers,
like Bonnie and Clyde.
Well, not exactly like Bonnie and Clyde.
They were more accomplished
than Bonnie and Clyde.
[Garrett]
Theyjust never got a movie
made about them.
Rita and Moe, "the Courteous Crooks."
The Seligs were known
as the Courteous Crooks because...
they would always say "please"
right before they robbed you blind.
And of course there's the red carnation.
Moe always pulled it from his lapel
and left it behind after a heist.
But they never hurt anyone.
[Harold]
Yeah.
They must have robbed, uh,
I don't know,
12 banks across the Midwest
before the cops
ever caught up with them.
- Guess where, Sara?
- Quicksilver.
Quicksilver. Bingo!
That's exactly right.
The cops chased them
right into Quicksilver Lake and...
they drowned.
That was a black day for Rita and Moe.
They found the car.
[Garrett]
But they never found the stolen money.
Absolutely right, Garrett. Not that
everybody and his brother didn't look for it.
[Chuckles]
So you can see why we're all going nuts.
It seems like Beethoven has done
what nobody has been able to do
in the last 80 years.
Do you really think Beethoven
found some of Rita and Moe's lost loot?
What else could it be?
I mean,
how manyJackson $10 bills
do you think are just lying around
in the middle of the woods?
Yeah. Hey, wouldn't it be cool
if Beethoven could find some more?
Yeah, if he's not afraid of... ghosts.
[Beethoven Whimpers]
[Sara]
Oh, come on.
It's been rumored for years, Sara,
that the ghosts of Moe and Rita
haunt those woods,
protecting their money
ever since they drowned.
It's true.
Please.
You know what?
I never believed it myself,
but I gotta tell you something.
Something weird happened to me
out there a few years ago.
I was squirrel hunting in the woods,
and all of a sudden I knew
that somebody was following me.
And here it was,
the middle of the summer and yet
this icy wind blew right through me.
[Beethoven Whimpers]
Even my dog started howling.
[Grunts]
But there was nobody there.
And it's a proven fact that dogs howl
when ghosts are around.
Uh, dogs also howl at fire engines.
Well, Harold, we've really enjoyed
this little walk through history,
but we don
