MIRA: Mystery at the Puppet Show.

Mira! Got you a seat.

Thanks, Priya.

Wow. This place is packed.

It's always like this when the puppet show comes to town.

Banana chips?

Bananas. Don't mind if I do.

Mmm. Mmm.

You must tell me your recipe.

I didn't make them, Mikku.

I bought them from those snack sellers.

Get your banana chips!

Best banana chips in Jalpur!

Right here!

(MOANING)

Sorry, Poonam.

Over here! Hello, snacks!

Welcome, friends. (CROWD CLAPPING)

Guys, the show is starting.

It is a great honor to be with you today.

Please enjoy the show.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING) (ALL CHEERING)

Hmm, when I grow up I wanna be a puppet.

Shh, I'm trying to watch.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING) (ALL CHEERING)

(WHOOPING)

MIRA: Great show!

It's over already? What?

Don't worry, there's more.

This is just the intermission.

A little break in the middle of the show.

MRS. TANDON: Mira, dear.

I'm terribly sorry to trouble you

while you're here enjoying the show.

I'm always here to help, Mrs. Tandon.

What happened?

I was wearing gold bangles

on both arms during the show,

and now the ones on this arm are gone.

Huh? Hmm.

Maybe they fell off.

We'll help you look. Right, guys?

Sure thing. No problem.

Hmm, see any bangles?

No. No!

Nope. Nothing here.

MAN: My coin purse.

My coin purse is missing!

Excuse me, Uncle.

Did you say your coin purse is missing?

Mira, our Royal Detective.

I can't find my coin purse anywhere. Can you help me?

I'd be happy to help.

Bangles and a coin purse?

That's a lot of stuff to look for, Mira.

Neel, how much time until the show starts again?

Uh...

Uh, I don't know

because my watch is missing!

Oh, no! What?

Creepy. Jeez!

A bangle, a coin purse

and a watch

all lost at the same time

in the same place is very unusual.

Something strange is going on at this puppet show.

Yeah! I can feel it in my gut.

(STOMACH GROWLING)

Oh, wait, that's just my stomach growling.

What do you think is going on, Mira?

I don't know for sure

but it seems like someone might have taken the watch

and all the other missing things.

But don't worry.

We will find them and get everything back.

Mira on the case!

♪ We're on the case We're on the case

Let's start with a few questions.

When did you first notice your bangles were missing?

Care for banana chips! I was enjoying the charming show

when the snack sellers came by my seat

and I bought banana chips.

And then I felt someone bump into me. (SCRIBBLING)

I looked down and couldn't find my bangles anywhere.

MIRA: Got it.

So let me get this straight.

You bought this bag of banana chips

from the snack sellers,

then you felt someone bump into you? Yes!

Uh, I reached for my coin purse

to buy another snack but it was gone.

We're gonna need to take

a closer look at this evidence.

Hey!

Mrs. Tandon and Mr. Puri,

both bought a snack

and both felt someone bump into them.

And the exact same thing happened to me.

We need to figure out a way

to keep an eye on the crowd

so we can see if someone is bumping into people

and taking their things. Grab your banana chips!

The best view is from the stage.

But how can we be on stage

with the puppet show going on?

We can't but I know who can.

Mikku and Chikku. BOTH: Huh?

How would you like to go undercover on the case

as puppets?

Us, on stage,

as puppets?

The roar of the crowd.

Our names in lights.

Mikku and Chikku!

Chikku and Mikku.

Sounds like a yes to me.

Priya, how fast can you make

puppet costumes for Mikku and Chikku?

Faster than they can eat their snacks. BOTH: Yes!

Let's head back to the agency.

(SINGS) ♪ I'm gonna be a star! ♪

PRIYA: There. Perfect.

Introducing the newest puppets in Jalpur.

Wow, Priya. They look amazing.

Thanks. I'm thinking I should start a mongoose clothing line.

Some people were born for the...

(GRUNTS) Stage.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING) The music is starting up again.

Let's go!

Showtime!

POONAM: Best banana chips. MIRA: Now,

your job is to pay attention.

If you see anyone bumping into people

and taking their things,

wave and we'll come right over. Okay, guys?

Yes! All over it.

I have something that could help.

My latest invention.

I call it the signal sounder.

It's a whistle that can be heard for miles

but only if I'm wearing my special earpiece.

(WHISTLES) Argh!

Okay. It works.

Only use the signal sounder

when you need to get our attention. Got it?

Don't worry. I will hold on to it.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

Mira... BOTH: We got this.

Guys, you dropped the signal sounder. MIKKU: Oops.

Must have slipped right out of my paw.

I think I better hold on to this.

We'll also be looking for clues.

When the show is over, let's all meet up by the stage.

Good luck!

We're sure gonna need it.

Welcome back from intermission, my friends. (CROWD CHEERING)

Enjoy the rest of the show!

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

(SQUEAKING)

Whoa! (SCREAMING)

CHIKKU: Whoa!

(CROWD LAUGHING)

(CROWD CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

I have never gotten so much applause

in my life. (LAUGHS)

(KISSES)

NEEL: Wow! They're really great.

So great I think they forgot to look for clues.

Let's go find out.

I better get all these puppets packed up

before the crowd makes it impossible to get out of here.

(BOTH GASP)

Uh, what about my encore? We need to meet our fans.

(HORNS HONKING)

Where are Mikku and Chikku?

They're supposed to meet us here.

Looks like everyone is gone.

Don't panic. They still have my signal sounder.

MIRA: Uh, guys...

Okay, now panic.

Mira, what do we do?

We stop the case.

Finding our friends is way more important

than finding missing things.

Too bad the puppeteer isn't here.

We could ask if he saw them. Huh?

It looks like he left one of his puppets.

Wait a second.

Mikku and Chikku were really great

at pretending to be puppets.

Do you think the puppeteer took

Mikku and Chikku with him by accident?

Maybe he did. Come on.

We need to find him before he leaves town.

Chalo, chalo, let's go!

CHIKKU: Let's jump out.

MIKKU: We can't, Chikku.

The rikshaw's going too fast.

I know what we can do.

Blow Prince Neel's signal sounder.

Small problem. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

I lost it.

Oh, no. How's Mira gonna find us?

(GASPS) I have an idea!

We can leave Mira a trail...

Of puppets!

Mikku, that's genius.

Congratulations, doll, you got the part.

Yeah, part of our plan

it's for the sake of art.

Mira's so smart she'll know what to do.

Maybe they'll find us...

BOTH: If they follow the clues!

♪ On the road to what really matters

♪ Gotta leave some crumbs Gotta shake a tail

♪ And hope Mira finds a trail

There's a problem to solve but the mystery can wait

our friends need our help.

ALL: So that's our new case.

Puppet in the path.

Look, there, too. MIRA: Clever Mikku and Chikku.

ALL: Let's follow the clues!

♪ On the road to what really matters

♪ They've been sending us signs now we're on their tail

♪ Let's go We're on their trail

♪ On the road to what really matters

CHIKKU: Gotta leave some crumbs.

Is that a tail?

BOTH: It's snack time. Find the trail.

♪ Speed up We're on the trail ♪

MIRA: Wait!

Mr. Puppeteer, please stop!

Is everything all right?

I think our friends might be in the back of your rikshaw.

The only thing in the back of my rickshaw

are my puppets.

Yeah. Well,

my friends have a way of popping up

in some very unexpected places.

BOTH: Mira! (SIGHS)

I'm so glad you're okay. PUPPETEER: Oh, my.

I had no idea your little friends were back here.

You two look very familiar.

Um... Well, yeah, we get that a lot.

You must be hungry

after being cooped up back there.

Uh, how about some banana chips?

Music to my ears, and tummy.

Hey! What happened to my wallet?

What do you mean?

I had my wallet right here

in this pocket before the show

and now it's gone!

Sir, if you don't mind me asking,

did you happen to buy these banana chips

from the snack sellers?

Yes, I did.

I was wondering, when you bought your snack,

did someone bump into you?

Yes, it's a shame

those snack sellers are so clumsy.

They are clumsy, aren't they? Hmm.

Let's think this through.

Mrs. Tandon, Mr. Puri,

Neel, and the puppeteer,

all bought snacks from the snack sellers.

All got bumped into. (ALL GRUNTING)

And all had stuff go missing.

So the snack sellers must have something to do with this.

We need to go ask them some questions.

Neel, can you get that Deputy Oosha?

Sure can. Meet you at the river.

Excuse me!

I'm on a case

and I need to ask you a few questions.

Sorry, kid. No time to chat.

Yeah. We gotta make a run for it.

Bye‐bye! No. Not this time.

Yeah, I think you're gonna wanna talk to her.

Yeah. She's the Royal Detective.

Would you mind opening your snack boxes, please?

Meet Deputy Oosha.

She really wants you to open those snack boxes.

(MOOS)

NEEL: (GASPS) That's my watch.

MIRA: And all the other missing stuff.

You took it! (MOOS)

All right, all right. We took it!

We took all of it. (MOOS)

(SCREAMS) Oh, could someone

please get this cow away from us? ROYAL GUARD: Okay, you two,

you're going with Deputy Oosha.

Nice work, Mira. We'll take it from here.

(MOOING)

Mira. I heard you found my gold bangles.

And my coin purse.

She sure did.

And I think this belongs to you.

That's case closed.

Great idea to throw out a trail of puppets, guys.

That was some fast thinking.

Mira, we're sorry that we didn't pay attention on stage.

Like we were supposed to.

It's okay. I'm sure you will next time. Oh, we will.

But first, it's time for...

BOTH: An encore!

MIRA: The Mystery of the New Kid.

Oh, boy, is it hot today.

Hotter than hot.

It's the perfect day to try out

Prince Neel's new cooling invention.

Ready for you to test it out, Mira.

I call it the cool down cap.

It cools you down on scorchingly hot days.

All you have to do is crank the levers like this.

(LEVERS SQUEAKING) (GRUNTING)

Stand back. Let the masters work.

(KISSES)

(GRUNTING) Um, feel cooler?

Um, maybe a little.

(GRUNTS) What? Hmm?

Someone's... Oh!

(THUDS) (GROANS)

Soggy samosas!

I'm still working out the kinks.

Well, we could always cool down the old‐fashioned way.

Pour water on our heads?

(LAUGHS) Take a cold bath?

Open a window!

(CROW CAWING) Well, hello, Mr. Crow.

It's a hot day, isn't it?

(CAWING)

I think the crow likes your invention, Neel.

Sorry, Mr. Crow,

I don't have one in your size, yet.

(CROW CAWING)

Hello, there!

Do you need help getting somewhere?

Yes! Yes, I do.

How do you know?

I saw you walking back and forth

and turning your map up and down.

That's 'cause I can't figure out where I am.

I just dropped off lunch at...

Pushpa's Boutique?

That's my auntie's shop round the corner.

Which means you're right here.

Oh, thanks.

Wow, you're good.

Mira's a detective.

It's her job to figure things out.

She's not just any detective.

She's the Royal Detective!

The Royal Detective?

That's me.

I can't believe I'm meeting the Royal Detective

on my first day in Jalpur.

I am Sandeep.

I'm Mira.

Did you just move here, Sandeep?

Yeah. To be near my uncle.

He runs the dhaba.

I'm helping him deliver these tiffins.

Each one has lunch inside.

Hear that? He delivers lunch.

Dream job!

These are my friends Mikku and Chikku.

So, look, if you ever need taste testers

or tiffin cleaners or crumbs sweepers...

We're your mongooses.

I finally got my invention to work!

Or not.

Soggy samosas!

Neel, this is Sandeep.

He just moved here.

Sandeep, meet... (GASPS)

Prince Neel of Jalpur?

Son of the most noble Queen Shanti

and younger brother of heir to the throne Prince Veer?

Yeah. Just call me Neel.

Should I bow or call him Your Highness or something?

How about a high‐five?

I can't believe I'm high‐fiving Prince Neel.

Wait till my friends back home hear about this,

So, about these lunches...

Oh, yeah. I better finish my deliveries.

Sounds good.

Nice to meet you. Bye!

Sandeep, other way!

Oops! Thanks, Mira.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Thanks for the ride!

Moving to a new place can be hard.

You don't know your way around

and you barely know anyone. BOTH: Yeah.

We should give Sandeep a special Jalpur welcome

so he feels at home here.

For sure. Of course.

Mira! Mira!

Hey, Meena, did you meet Sandeep?

Sandeep? I don't know any Sandeep.

He just moved here.

He delivered lunch to your mom's boutique a few minutes ago.

Lunch?

Who can think of lunch

when one of my favorite earrings

in the whole entire world is gone?

I've been saving up for them forever!

I can't wear just this one.

Oh, Mira, you have to help me.

Don't worry, Meena, we'll find it.

We're on the case of the missing earring.

Let's start with the description.

Gold hooped earring. Extra shiny.

'Cause it's real gold.

And when was the last time you saw it, Meena?

Both earrings were in my jewelry box before lunch.

I put one on,

I admired myself in the mirror.

(SCOFFS)

I looked so good.

And then what happened?

Someone came by with lunch tiffins

and when I came back

the other earring was gone!

The tiffins? So she did meet Sandeep.

Sandeep? Is he the one who delivered the lunches?

Yes. Well,

I had both earrings until he showed up.

That's it!

He must have taken my earring.

Meena, we don't know that.

Any number of things could have happened to your earring.

MEENA: There he is. Sandeep!

Excuse me! Sandeep!

I need to talk to you!

Meena, we can't accuse someone

of doing something wrong when we don't know what happened.

Well, I don't want him to get away.

I'm following him.

Meena, wait!

This is not the Jalpur welcome I had in mind.

We have to get to Meena...

Before she gets to Sandeep.

MIRA: Chalo, chalo, let's go!

(CROW CAWING)

(CROW CAWING)

MEENA: Sandeep! Sandeep!

(CROW CAWING)

(CLUCKS) MIRA: Sorry, Raj!

Go away, crow. Go away!

Hey, a police cow.

Well, hello, Officer.

(MOOING)

Whoa!

Sandeep!

(MOOS) MIRA: Sorry, Deputy Oosha.

Oh, no, we lost Meena. She's over there.

MIRA: Meena, wait!

We need to talk to you!

(BLEATING)

They're headed towards the dhaba.

Shoo, crow. Shoo! (CAWING)

Here you go, Prince Veer.

Ah, the first samosa from the pan.

Hot and crispy

and... Whoa! (GROANS)

Oh, whoa! Yes!

Hot and crispy and...

Hey! NEEL: Sorry, Veer!

Soggy samosa.

Sandeep!

Sandeep, did you take my earring?

Of course, not.

I just delivered your lunch.

I didn't take your earring.

Sandeep, this is my cousin Meena.

She lost one of her favorite earrings

and she's very upset about it.

Well, I didn't take it.

Then why were you riding so fast to get away from me?

I wasn't.

I was trying to get away from a crow.

I did see a crow following you.

It's been following me all day.

I don't know why.

MIRA: Well, crows do love shiny things

like bike horns and tiffins.

And inventions that don't work.

Why are we talking about crows?

We should be talking about my earring.

We'll find your earring, Meena.

(RATTLING)

Something's rattling around in there.

Something like an earring?

Uh... BOTH: Snacks.

I told you I didn't take your earring.

You two didn't happen to see an earring in there, did you?

Nope. No earrings unfortunately.

Just some leftover crumbs we cleaned up.

Delish!

Well, now what do we do?

We go back to the boutique

where you lost your earring and look for clues.

Sandeep, would you like to help us with the case?

Help out the Royal Detective?

I'd love to!

But I'm already late with my deliveries.

And I keep getting lost.

Jalpur is so much bigger than the village I'm from.

We can help you deliver tiffins on our way to the boutique.

You'd really do that?

Sure. BOTH: All over it.

Thanks! Meena?

Fine. I'll help, too,

as long as we keep looking for my earring.

Thank you all for helping with my deliveries.

NEEL: Anytime. Our pleasure.

MIRA: So, Meena,

can you show me the exact spot

where you kept your earrings?

They were over there in my jewelry box.

Hello! Ta‐da!

Those are for customers.

My jewelry box is there by the window.

Oopsie. Uh‐oh.

Hmm.

Look what I found. A feather.

(GASPS) That looks like a crow's feather.

I should know.

The crow's been following me all day.

What does the feather have to do with my earring?

Meena, when you went to get your lunch delivery

was the window open? It was.

But once again,

what does that have to do with my earring?

Let's think this through.

We opened our window before as well

and a crow flew in. (CAWING)

The same crow that's been following Sandeep.

We know crows like shiny things.

Like, Neel's invention and tiffins,

and Meena's earring is very shiny.

So, maybe, the crow came in through her window

and grabbed her earring.

(CROW CAWING)

Oh, wow, we need to have a word with that crow.

A very serious word.

Maybe even two.

But how are we going to find the crow?

He could be anywhere.

Neel, do you still have that cool down cap?

I sure do.

I know exactly what we can do with it.

I added a few bells and whistles to make it extra shiny.

Hope Mr. Crow likes it.

Trust me, he will.

(CAWING)

Come on, follow that crow!

Okay, Meena. Go ahead and check the crow's nest.

I bet you'll find your earring inside.

Ah! My earring.

I can't believe that you found it.

Looks like the case of

the missing earring is closed.

Thanks for all your help, guys.

And a very special thanks to Sandeep.

Yeah. Thank you, Sandeep.

I'm really sorry I blamed you for taking my earring.

Friends? Friends.

NEEL: Hey, guys, take a look at this.

Here you go, Mr. Crow.

A super shiny crow‐mobile for you to play with

so you don't have to take shiny stuff from anyone else.

(CAWING)

Neel, that's genius!

Phew. Solving case sure makes me hungry.

Me, too.

(ALL LAUGHING)

In my old village there are more cows than people.

Get out of town. Wow!

Hi, Prince Veer.

The Prince Veer?

Future king of Jalpur?

Put it there, Veer.

(GASPS) Excuse me.

Yeah, no. Uh, my brother likes to be called Your Highness.

Oh. Um, please join us, Your Highness.

We even have some nice crisp samosas.

Hmm. Well, okay.

No run away rikshaws? You're good.

(GOATS BLEATING)

(GRUNTS)

BOTH: Oh.

No!

Prince Veer, I saved an extra one just in case.

Thank you, Sandeep.

Mmm.

We're so glad you're here, Sandeep.

Cheers, to our new friend.

And my missing earring that brought us together.

ALL: Cheers!

I think I'm gonna like it here.

(ALL LAUGHING)
