Episode content[]

Sally and Doowee are asked to investigate the disappearance of a student's science project - a genetically engineered cockroach. However, Sally’s father, Harry, does not want her to do any more investigations until her schoolwork improves. Sally is caught in a dilemma: she has committed herself to finding the cockroach, but also wants to obey her father. So she investigates behind Harry’s back – only to bump into him investigating another crime in the same place! Sally makes it up to her father by finding a way to improve her grades – and promising not to disobey him again.

Story[]


One late evening at school, someone sneaks into the science lab. He hides as a security guard comes by to check up on everything and comes into the room. Upon spotting the cockroach, the man locks up the room and leaves. Allowing whoever snuck into the room to grab the bug and take off.

The following day after school ends, Albert pays Sally and Doowee a visit. He asks for their help locating his cockroach that he was going to present for the upcoming science fair while showing them a video of it. At first Doowee is hesitant, but Sally accepts the case anyway, although she warns him that they have been a bit busy lately so it might take a while. She is then called to visit her dad in his room for unknown reasons.

There, Harry reveals to Sally that he found out what she did that morning, from having cereal for breakfast to what she did on her way to school. When Sally asks for him to prove it, he finds a cornflake from her breakfast on her clothing, and sees the bracelet she is wearing that came with the magazine she used her money on, and the reason she was late for school was because she didn't have money for the bus anymore. He then tells Sally that she has to focus on her school work more and forbids her from doing any detective work until her grades improve. Sally tries to reason with him but he is called for his own case and tells her to leave.

Sally returns to her detective room and explains what happened to Doowee. He is unsure of what she should do, is as she, because she doesn't want to go against her father, but at the same time she doesn't want to let down a client who was depending on them.

They decide to head to school very early the following morning in hopes of doing a little investigation anyway. In the science room, they look around but only find some fingerprints all over the door and droppings left behind by the cockroach. But they aren't given much time to think much of it because the guard has come to check on the room again, noticing the light on and hearing sound. They hide behind a door and Sally throws on one of the hazard suits. She pretends to be a woman doing a dangerous, lethal experiment and tells the man that if he comes in he could risk blowing up, which makes him leave.

As she takes off the suit, Sally happens to notice a strange facial smearing on the door. Doowee uses his equipment to safely lift the smearing onto something that would allow them to compare the facial shape with some classmates outside later on. They are confronted by a classmate who wonders what they are doing and realize that he is was the one who left behind the face smearing. Sally then begins to call him out of the theft and threatens to fight him if he doesn't admit it. But before she can deliver on any of it, he manages to distract her by claiming the principal is coming. When she turns to look he runs for the bus that has approached and takes off.

Sally and Doowee give chase on their bikes, but when Sally happens to spot her dad talking to a police offer she is quick to swerve into the bushes at the nearby park, crashing into Doowee while doing so. They hide until her dad and the cop leave and while Doowee asks why Sally did that, they happen to spot the bus from before. It stops at a building and they recogonize one of the symbols that matches the one found on Bob's shirt, causing them to assume he went in there.

They head into the alleyway and sneak in through a back window that throws them into the ladies room. An asian woman is there and comments on it while helping Sally up. Sally is quick to say that Doowee lost his glasses while they leave the room, unaware that she grabbed Sally's bracelet.

Once they leave the room, they happen to spot a bunch of people, along with Bob, all using cockroaches to race and make money with. The race ends and Bob puts the roach away as Sally points out they have exactly six-hundred seconds to grab the jar he is in. She is unsure of how to get it, but Doowee assures her that he has a great invention to grab it from their hiding spot. But as they try to load it, they are flung down into the lower floors changing room. They use some of the items in there to make a disguise and attempt to grab the cockroach, but while doing so, they witness someone take Bob's won money out of his pocket. Doowee points it out and Sally tells him to hurry up and grab the roach, but before they can her dad busts into the building and tells everyone to stay still. Sally tells Doowee that they need to get out of there before he spots them and to make a distraction, he uses a nearby object to break all of the cockroach jars, except for the one they were looking for. Everyone begins to run around in a panic while they grab the jar and attempt to make a run for it. But they are stopped by Bob and the woman, who attempts to make a get away until Doowee throws one of the non-broken jars underneath of her feet, which causes her to come flying down the steps and into one of the equipment pieces, dropping her purse to prove her as the thief.

Sally and Doowee escape using the back alleyway, but before they can leave they are confronted by Bob again. He and Sally begin to fight, but she is easily able to send him into a pile of garbage. Doowee mentions to Sally that she was able to solve the case without getting caught by her dad, but because of this Sally feels a little badly.

Later, Sally and Doowee return the cockroach to Albert, who asks them what they would prefer payment with. Instead of accepting their usual fee, Sally asks him for help with her math.

After school, Sally sits with Mrs. Apu and her dad while he plays a game. He reveals that he got her bracelet off of the thief, alarming Sally when he points out she told him she was only at school that day. She reveals that she got an A on her next math test, which does make him proud of her though. She asks him if she can continue her detective work afterwards and he agrees, although he tells her to not disobey him again.
