Detective Dan and Anne: The Missing Cat

Ruth keeps calling about her lost cat, Mr. Marshmallow, until the trench-coated Detective Dan and his daughter Detective Ann show up at her door, certain they were hired to find a missing lamp post because of the sign outside. Once the mix-up is cleared, their investigation barely improves: they brush off her pleas, celebrate an unrelated case and pronounce themselves finished. A teenager then arrives carrying a white cat he found, and the detectives decide the finder must be the thief, calling in officers to haul him off over Ruth's protests before once again declaring a case closed with nonsense.
