[horns honking]
[chattering]
[tires screeching]
Turn right, uh, on String Cheese Boulevard.
[beeping]
Benjamin, this interview will make a spectacular story.
Awesome, Uncle G. Who are you interviewing?
Billionaire Siggerson Chesterfall is in town
for his annual billionaires' lunch at the Regal Rodent.
No one's ever seen the guy. How will you spot him?
A tip told me that Chesterfall will be wearing a hat and an overcoat.
Ah. Mr. Chesterfall, I'm Geronimo Stilton and--
[clucking]
So, how'd you like that hot tip I gave you?
Now you're the story, Stilton.

Geronimo Stilton, of The Rodent's Gazette, is interviewing a chicken.
Looks like Mr. Stilton ran into some bad cluck.
[laughs]
[sighs] I've never been so humiliated.
Sure you have. Last summer at the beach
when you lost your swim trunks and... Oh, uh, never mind.
[chuckles]
Everybody knows Sally's broadcasts are tabloid trash.
Nobody pays them attention.
Hey, coz, did you see your picture? [laughs] This is hilarious.
I got copies for everyone.
Oh, guess you've seen it, huh?
This just in.
Our very own Sally Rasmaussen is [gasps] missing.
Sources report that Sally's disappearance
may be the work of notorious criminal Barry the Moustache.
-Barry the what-stache? -Moustache.
The meanest crime boss in New Mouse City, feared by everyone.
Except Geronimo, who was responsible for putting Barry behind bars.
[Geronimo] The police had searched, but Barry was nowhere to be found.
[Thea] And then a journalist decided to conduct interviews.
Sir, are police doing everything they can
-to catch Barry the Moustache? -Yeah, yeah, sure. Leave me alone.
Don't you think more could be done?
[gasps]
Hey, watch it, hey.
[Geronimo yells]
[crowd murmuring]
[man] Look! Barry the Moustache!
[growls]
[siren wailing]
I'll get you for this if it's the last thing I do.
I'll get you!
Cool, Unc. You were like a total hero.
It was nothing. No way Barry's involved in Sally's disappearance.
He's safely behind bars.
Uh, not anymore. He was released two days ago.
Released?
[chuckles]
You want me to help you pack a bag? Ooh, how about a disguise?
[chuckles] I doubt that the first thing Barry's going to do
is come looking for... me.
[screams]
Simon Squealer. What are you doing here?
Have another hot tip for me?
No. I need your help.
Our help? You've got a lot of nerve.
I need your help to find Sally. This was hers.
I found it next to her limo.
Hmm. It has her initials on it.
[Simon] Look, I know we've had our differences, Stilton,
but I'm begging, I'm squeaking, I want to put all that aside.
-Uh, I smell a rat, Uncle G. -It could be a trick.
I am a rat, but it's no trick.
Hmm. Even though I despise Sally, I wouldn't want her to come to any harm.
[sighs]
It couldn't hurt for me to check it out. Right?
This is where I found her bracelet.
Sally was walking to her car but never made it.
Great Gouda. Look at these tracks.
Hmm. These were made from women's shoes. Not just any shoes.
French heels that can be bought in Brazil.
Oh, creepy. That means Sally was dragged over here.
Oh, poor Sally.
Aha. Aha. Ooh. Aha. Aha.
And the tracks stop... Aha! Here!
There must be some sort of security system here.
Uh, I'll see if I can link to the video feed. Check it out!
-[Geronimo] Excellent, Benjamin. -Ew.
Does my hair really look that flat today?
[Sally] Unhand me! Let me go!
-That's Sally! -How can you tell?
[Sally] You'll hear from my lawyers.
[gasps] You're wrinkling my expensive, one-of-a-kind designer gown!
[Sally cries]
[in unison] Oh, yeah, that's Sally.
[Ben Pad beeping]
Trap and I did some checking.
Sally's doing a story about Barry the Moustache.
Really? How did you find out?
Trap found a man who worked for Barry.
[crying]
Gotta go. Have to save Trap.
[shouting]
If those guys work for Barry, then that means...
[gasps]
Barry the Moustache really is back.
What are we gonna do? Uncle G? Uncle Geronimo?
[screaming]
[grunting]
He's locked the door.
[grunting]
Come on out, Stilton.
[Geronimo] If Barry the Moustache looks for me, tell him I'm out.
Out of town.
If Barry wants to find Geronimo, he'll find him, even if he hides.
In fact, Barry could be hiding in Geronimo's office right now.
[gasps] I hadn't thought of that.
[panting]
All right, I could help you look around.
But nothing dangerous.
Hey! That's all I'm asking for. Thanks.
Okay, let's figure out what we know about Sally's disappearance.
Fact, Sally was leaving work.
Fact, she was grabbed in her company's parking garage.
Fact, she was dragged to a waiting car here.
Fact, this is where we lost sight of the car,
and this is the route the car took.
Aw, that's sad.
Ah. Yes. I suppose it is.
Too bad there weren't more cameras.
They're all over New Mouse City.
If I can find a way to hook into all of them, I might be able to...
Bingo! The security footage taken at the time Sally was abducted.
Stop. There's the car.
It looks like they're headed for...
The shipyard.
[Simon] You okay, Stilton?
Yes, I-- I'm fine.
[phone ringing, Geronimo shrieks]
Chill. It's just your phone.
[chuckles] I knew that.
-Hello? -[Thea] I'm in position.
If I see Barry, I'll let you know.
[Geronimo] Good, thanks.
Don't worry, coz. We'll make sure Barry doesn't get his revenge.
But if he did, I bet it would really hurt.
Ah.
-Thanks, Trap. Just what I wanted to hear. -Come on. Let's do something.
Sally could be in one of these buildings.
Right. I've got it set to infrared.
-Someone's in there. -Uh, let's give it a closer look.
Um, closer? You really think that's a good idea?
[Simon] Sally could be in trouble.
[whimpers] Okay. I suppose you're right.
-Are you okay? -I tripped over this.
[gasps] That's one of Sally's.
Then she must be here.
[sniffs]
Benjamin, wait here
-and signal Thea if anyone comes out. -Got it. Call me if you're in trouble.
-I hope it doesn't come to that. -I'll see if there's another way in.
After you.
[grunting]
[shouting]
You check it out while I make sure our escape route is clear.
Trap. Get back here.
[whimpers] What am I doing?
Sally's not even a friend.
But if she's in trouble I should help her.
Stay quiet, Sally. I'll get you out safely.
[gasps]
[laughing]
My plan worked.
I can see the headline now.
"Dummy rescues dummy."
[laughing]
Gotta run. Have a deadline, getting these pictures on the front page.
[laughing]
How...?
[groans]
Sally. I should have known.
Come on, G. I think someone's here. We have to go.
Hey, this isn't Sally. This dummy's a lot prettier.
[laughs]
I mean, you're a prettier dummy.
Uh, but you're not a dummy or pretty. I mean, yes, you are, both.
I thought you were in trouble. I was helping you.
[chuckles] That's why you're a sap.
Benjamin, Thea, false alarm. It was all a hoax.
Simon's on his way to The Daily Rat with more humiliating pictures of me.
Don't worry, I'll stop him.
[laughs]
This worked better than I expected.
I should've known you faked your kidnapping.
[Barry] Not no more, she ain't.
Barry don't like taking the heat for something he didn't do.
Mr. Moustache, I'm sorry. I never intended any harm.
It was all his idea.
[gasps] No, it wasn't. I had nothing to do with this.
[whimpering]
I know you.
You're that famous reporter, the one who put me behind bars.
[gulps]
Yep, that would be me.
-Who are you? -I'm nobody.
In fact, I'm so nobody that I'm not here.
Oh. [laughs]
Looks like I am here.
[grumbles]
[whispering indistinctly]
Get help.
We're all gonna take a little trip.
And you're gonna be my guest.
I thought you were gonna catch him.
This story is gonna ruin Geronimo once and for all.
[chuckles]
Get any good shots lately, Squealer?
Out of my way. I've got a big story to break.
I'm not afraid of you.
Yeah? You should be.
[shouting]
Karate. Black belt.
Karate. Pink belt.
[Simon] Bring it.
[both shouting and grunting]
[phone ringing]
Excuse me, I have to get this.
[Benjamin] Thea, Barry kidnapped Uncle G and Trap,
and now he's also got Sally for real.
This day can't get much worse. Okay, sit tight, I'll pick you up.
I'll give you your memory card once I've erased it.
Catch you later, Squealer.
[sniffs]
[coughing]
It smells like foot.
Ha. I thought you were gonna say it smells like defeat. Get it? De-feet?
[laughing]
[sighs]
-Where are we? -We have no idea.
Well, I won't stand for this. Do you know who I am?
I am the Sally Rasmaussen, and I demand that you release me.
This has gone far enough.
I have a hair appointment at two.
And if I miss it, I'm going to be very unhappy.
Oh! How rude.
[sniffling and groaning]
Our friend either has a cold or is suffering from allergies.
[whimpers] Do something. Get us out of here before Barry comes.
None of this would have happened if you hadn't made up the story.
[sneezing]
Hmm. The angle of the trajectory,
multiplied by the velocity of a flying object...
[gasps] It just might work.
-Do you have any spare change? -Ah. Great plan.
We'll pool our money and buy our way to freedom.
Uh... Oh, not with this, we're not.
[Geronimo] This is plenty.
When I say go, run for the door.
[sneezing]
Go!
Oh. I wasn't ready yet.
-Uh, ready for what? -I told you, you're my guests.
I wanted everything to be perfect.
Barry the Moustache, how dare you!
[gasps]
Ooh! Oh, why, this is lovely.
Why, what a simply divine place you have here. Oh, my.
[chuckles] I just wanna say thanks.
Uh...
Thanks? Thanks for what?
Well, for putting me behind bars.
If not for you, I never would've met my business partner, Cheese Louie.
Cheese Louie, the Swiss on a Pick guy? I love Swiss on a Pick.
Yep, that's him.
I found I made more dough going legit,
so, I gave up crime, bought this island, and went on vacation.
That is, until Sally made up that story about me.
I said I was sorry.
Heh. I have to set things straight. That's where you come in.
-Me? -I'm giving you an exclusive
on my success story and how Barry the Moustache went legit.
Oh, that's fantastic, Mr. Moustache.
Hey, Uncle G, check out Mr. Moustache's nifty pool.
Your sister and nephew were looking for you.
Sorry if I scared you guys.
Sometimes I come across a little rough.
Well, you certainly know how to treat your guests. [laughs]
Oh, uh, you're not a guest.
I have something else in mind for you.

[laughs]
The story of how former crime boss Barry the Moustache
became an honest businessman is truly an inspiring one.
And how Sally Rasmaussen became Swiss on a Pick's new spokesperson
a humorous one.
