The Golden Dolphin award is presented every year at the Globe Theatre to people who have helped the environment. Last year, it was won by Professor Wise. This year, it will be given to Doctor Sage for her work on protecting gorillas. But Smart Alec has received some information that criminals are planning to steal it.

The Golden Dolphin will be taken to the theatre by Professor Wise, but the criminals are going to kidnap him, and the award will be replaced with a fake.

We must tell the police.

No, Sweet Sue. We’ll catch them ourselves. The event will be watched by millions of people on TV. It will be great publicity for us.

Later.

I’ll park here, behind this blue van. It’s a very small space.

I wonder where the criminals are.

Inside the blue van.

Another van’s been parked right behind us. I can’t open the door, so we can’t kidnap the professor.

At the award ceremony.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome last year’s winner. Professor Wise.

Stop that man! He’s a thief.

The real professor has been kidnapped. Look, this is a false beard.

And the real Golden Dolphin has been replaced with this fake.

Ow, My beard!

Actually Smart Alec, I think this is the real Golden Dolphin. It hasn’t been stolen.

Detectives Sweet Sue and A Smart Alec were arrested last night at the Golden Dolphin award ceremony.
