Welcome to Plum Landing.
"The Manta Ray Mystery."
[Cooper screaming]
[Clem whooping]
Isn't there a slower way to travel?
Like a covered wagon maybe?
Wow!
I've never been in a city before.
Stick with me, Clem, I'll show you the ropes.
Ah!
I like it.
I miss seeing trees, and there's too much building,
but still, I like it.
We're here, Plum.
Hello!
Now, you're going to have to be very careful
and keep your eyes peeled.
You don't want a manta ray landing on your head.
What is a manta ray?
Is it like a laser ray?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's a fish.
It looks like this.
Ugh... seriously?
Fish don't fly around cities.
- According to reports picked up by the Blorbians,
a manta ray has been spotted several times at the corner
of th Avenue and Fenwick Street.
Just floating in the air.
So yes, a fish in the city!
Astonishing, inexplicable.
A mystery, which you have to solve.
Got it, Plum.
So how do we get to th and Fenwick?
According to the map, we take the A train down to Canal...
[train approaching]
[loudly]: ...then walk one block south to Fenwick!
Whee!
♪
- Nailed it.
th and Fenwick.
I don't see any fish, though.
Nope, just the pizza shop, cars, a dumpster.
Ah!
- A raccoon!
Shoo, scat!
You shouldn't eat people's garbage.
I'll go interview the pizza shop guy in case he knows something.
See you inside!
[groans]
Well, he sure talked a lot.
Hey, Plum.
So we got the .
The what?
We interviewed the pizza shop owner and took a lot of notes.
He says he's seen the ray a couple of times.
Sometimes it's black, sometimes it's white.
It flies in a circle over the dumpster usually.
And usually when it's windy.
I don't know what that has to do with anything.
Hmm...
Why don't you wait for a while and see if it shows up?
Okay!
Call ya later!
- Bye! - Bye!
It sure is getting windy.
You know what's funny?
If I stand here I get blasted.
Ugh!
But as soon as I go here, it's like the wind disappears.
Except it doesn't.
It's going straight to that wall and then turning.
Check out that leaf.
It looks like it's swimming.
- Yeah...
Hey, did you bring any money, for pizza?
Mm... best. Pizza. Ever.
[belches]
[cooing]
Did you hear that?
It must be the manta ray!
It's a pigeon, Cooper.
Hey, you littered!
By accident.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Calling plink. I mean plink...
Calling plink... I mean plunk, I mean Plum!
Stop!
Don't go to it.
You don't have to go to it!
- Here, fish.
Here, fishy fish.
What are you doing so far from the sea?
Wait a minute, you're not a fish.
It's just a garbage bag.
It would have been more fun if it was a fish.
Speak for yourself.
So, the raccoon in the dumpster rips open the bag.
- And because the wind is moving in a circle...
- It lifts the bag up and carries it around.
- Which is why it looked like a ray!
The Blorbians will be so interested to learn this!
Congratulations, you two.
The manta ray mystery is officially solved.
Woo-hoo!
- Yeah! [Cooper laughs]
