Mr. Sparks: It was the start
of an exciting day
at Hero Elementary.
My students
were about to learn
a special kind of hero skill,
one that had
a nice ring to it.
[school bell rings]
- Best block tower ever!
Ha ha, yeah!
- Yippee!
- Yeah, we did it!
- All right, class,
settle down.
I have big news.
Today is the day you are
going to learn how to--
drum roll, please.
[all drumming]
Leap a tall building
starting from the ground.
- What? Awesome!
- Yes! Nice!
- No way!
- I can't believe it!
- Just like my favorite heroes.
- We've been looking forward
to this for so long.
- Imagine us,
leaping over a tall building.
- [squeaks]
[sad music]
- Uh, yeah, something
like that, Fur Blur.
- Well, what are we
waiting for?
Let's get leaping!
- To the Leaping Tower!
all: To the Leaping Tower!
♪ ♪
- Ooh.
- Whoa.
[dramatic music]
- Okay, class,
leaping tall buildings
is an important hero skill,
and now you will learn how.
- Awesome!
- Finally!
- Each of you will use
your own special powers
to leap, fly, or somehow get
to the top of the building.
Then you will ring the bell,
like this.
[bell rings]
- Ohh.
- Ooh.
- ♪ Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo ♪
Sorry, no ropes allowed.
Lucita Sky,
want to go first?
- Well, it's pretty high.
But I'll give it a try.

I can do this,
as long as I don't look...down.

Ohh.
Whoa, whoa!
Ahh!
[thud]

- Muy bien, Lucita.
- But I didn't make it
to the top.
- Not yet, but you will.
It just takes
a little practice.
Now, who's next?
Sara Snap?
- I got this, Mr. S.
Getting to the top
is gonna be a snap.

Wah!
Whoa.
Whoa-oh-oh!

- Whoaaa!

- Whew.
- [chuckles]
They're okay.
I'll straighten them out.
- Good try, Sara.
Okay, Benny, your turn.
- Good luck, Benny.
It's a lot higher
than you think.
- Eh, but leaping
is my specialty.
I won't stop
till I'm at the top.
[gasps]
Or the middle.
Ahh!
- See, Mr. Sparks?
Not a scratch.
- Wah-ah!
Mr. Sparks: Benny?
- Agh, not to worry.
Everything's in one piece.
- Well, almost everything.
[bell jingles]
At least the bell
still works.
- [sighs]
- My turn.
- Wow, what are those?
- Jet Shoes.
I made them just like the ones
worn by Jetman Jones
in the "Space Jumpers"
comic books.
See?
- Hey, yeah, Jet Shoes
should get you up there.
- Okay, everyone.
Stand back.
- AJ, wait.
Your shoes are untied.
- Oh, better quadruple knot it
for extra safety.
[shoes whirring]
Huh?
I didn't press start.
[yelling]
Whoa-oh, ooh-ooh!
Ahh!

Uh-oh.
Ahh!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

- Sara, quick!
[whooshing]
- Ooh.

- [sighs] That is not how
they worked for Jetman Jones.
[bell rings loudly]
Ahh!
- What was that?
- Sounds like it's coming
from the Leaping Tower bell.
[bell rings loudly]
- Whoa, too loud!
Where are my headphones?
- Here, AJ.
- Whew.
Huh?
Where's my shoe?
[ringing continues]
- That sound is coming
from the tower's bell.
- But how?
Nobody's pulling the rope.
The bell isn't even moving.
- [groans]
Mr. Sparks:
The other students thought
it was the school bell.
Was it time to go home?
Or time to go to class?
[tower bell rings]
[all cheer]
- The ringing is confusing
the other students.
- I better take care of this.
Everyone,
it's not the school bell.
Go back inside.
[tower bell rings]
No, no, no, turn around!
Wrong bell!
Ugh.
- That bell is causing
a lot of confusion.
We've got to stop
that ringing.
- Yeah, and who's the crew
who knows what to do?
all: Sparks' Crew
to the Rescue!
[triumphant music]
- Okay, but how
do we stop the ringing
when we can't even
get up there?
- Well, maybe--
[shoe whirring]
Oh, no, not again.
- Quick, take off the shoe!
- [straining]
Why did I have to make
a quadruple knot?
[yelling]
- Ah.
[gasps]
- Ahh!
- [grunts]
AJ, grab the rope!
- Ahh!
[yelling]
Ahh-ah-ah!
[flagpole ringing]
- AJ!
Are you okay?
- Ugh, I'm all right.
But my Jet Shoe isn't.
- Hey, did you all notice
what I noticed?
- Yes, my shoe broke,
and now I don't have
either one of them.
- No, I mean, did you notice
the flagpole?
When the branch hit it,
it vibrated,
moved back and forth
really fast,
and there was a sound,
like this.
[flagpole ringing]
[bell tower ringing]
- Maybe the bell
is vibrating too,
and that's what's
making the sound.
- I know how we can find out.
We can use our...
all: Superpowers of Science!
- Let's start
by investigating.
We can look closely
at the bell
to try to figure out
how it works.
- But we can't get
a good look at that bell.
It's too high.
- Hmm.
[gasps]
What if we investigate
another bell
and figure out how it works?
- Good idea!
[tower bell rings]
Uh, where can we find
another bell?
- I think I know.
- You want to look
at my bike bell?
- Yeah, we need to look inside
for an investigation.
We want to figure out
what makes a bell ring.
- Fantástico.
I love a good investigation.
- Okay, team,
let's investigate this bell.
Sara: Look, there's a thingy
on the inside.
- Sí, that is called a clapper.
- Clapper? Like...
- Different kind of clapper.
[tower bell rings,
students cheer]
No, no!
Back inside!
I keep telling you,
that is not the school bell.
I've got to go.
Good luck.
Vamos!
Inside, everyone!
[students groan]
- Let's keep investigating.
What does the clapper do?
[bell dings]
- Seems like the clapper
hits the bell
and vibrates it
to make a sound.
[bell dings, stops]
Sara: And when
the vibration stops,
so does the sound.
- I bet you the tower bell
works the same way.
- That must mean
something inside the bell
is making it vibrate
and making the sound.
[tower bell rings]
- Well, there's only
one way to know for sure.
We have to get up there
and investigate that bell.
- But how?
None of us were able
to make it up there before.
- I think I have a plan.
Thought projecting.
We'll work together.
Benny will make a bubble
that Sara will throw
into the air,
and Lucita
will steer the bubble
right to the top
of the bell tower.
- But what if I look down?
I'll get dizzy.
- Try covering
your eyes with this.
- It could work.
- Let's do this!

- Bubble up!

- I can't see anything

which way to steer?

- Okay, Lucita,
keep going straight.

[geese squawking]
Oh, no!
- Ahh!
- Birdies.
- Turn!
The other way!
- All right!
- Go, Sparks' Crew!
- We did it!
- Yes!
We made it.
- I knew we'd get to the top
one way or another.
- Let's hurry.
I don't like
being this high up.
- Okay, let's see what
makes this bell tick.
[bell rings loudly]
- It's not ticking.
It's ringing.
- He means, let's see
what's causing the ringing.
[bell rings loudly]
Check if it's vibrating.
[loud ringing]
- [voice shaking]
It's vibrating!
- [gasps]
Just like the flagpole!
- And the bike bell.
- There must be something
hitting it on the inside.
- I'll take a look.
Lucita: Oh, be careful, Sara.
[loud ringing]
- Huh?
Wait, I don't believe this.
- What is it?
What's there?
- See for yourself.
Ah!
- My missing Jet Shoe!
both: Ohh!
- It's all wrapped around
the bell clapper.
[loud ringing]
- So that's why it's ringing.
Whenever the Jet Shoe
goes off,
it moves the clapper.
[loud ringing]
- Yippee!
- Yeah!
- The Sparks' Crew
does it again!
Ha ha!
- And best of all,
we found my missing shoe.
- Whoo-hoo!
- Yay!
- Yes!
And it's gone again.
Mr. Sparks: So if you ever
hear a strange sound
that you think may be caused
by vibrations,
take a look around
for AJ's missing Jet Shoe.
Oh, and then please
return it to lost and found.
