Today's episode...



Ok, buster.


Hey, what are you doing here? Get out of here!

Huh. And they think they're tough.



Come on, let's get this package delivered.

Well, this is the street, all right.



Those toughs picked my pocket--



The slip of paper with mr. Smith's number on,

and worse than that,

the rest of our fare money, too.



Well, there's nothing else to do but ring doorbells.

Come on.

When were you last at the british museum?



It's been years.

They won't let me in

I shouldn't think so.



Specifically, where were you



Between the hours of midnight last night and 8:00 this morning

in me lodgings.

Still in camdentown?



That should be

an .

If I were being at all dishonest,

I wouldn't be living in a broken-down place like camdentown.

Look here, inspector,



I was picked up without reason, and now--



Now that I've had the pleasure of seeing you..

Mutual, I assure you.

Am i...



Free to go?

Temporarily



[Whistles] taxi!

Well?

Does mr. Smith live here?

Everybody in this street

is named hawkins or smith,

and it ain't here.



Boy, a real friendly neighborhood.



Man: half a mo'. Half a mo'.



Here I come.



Well, well...

What have we here?

Welcome, me lads.

Whatever brings ye?

Mr. Smith, please.

Oh, mr. Smith ain't pleased to be home.

We've got a package for him.



I'll take it.

We're supposed to deliver it to him personally.

h* h*. I'm his secretary. You can leave it with me.

I'm very sorry, sir, but the bookworm--

that is our employer-

ah, yeah, the bookworm. I've heard of him.



Well, he told us that the package was worth £10.

And that's 30 bucks in real money.



Is something the matter?

Here I gone potty in me old age.

Mr. Smith phoned and told me if you was to come,



For me to take you where he is.

Just so long as we deliver the package to him.



Suppose it's all right.

Me car's at the curb. I'll get me hat.

After we've delivered the package to mr. Smith,



Perhaps he'll drive us back to the market.



That will save bus fares, too.



Yes. And then we can check on our tortoise again.



Com.

Hop in.



Thank you, sir.

All aboard!

I'll have you there 'afor you can say toby jug.



That's my name. Just call me toby jug.

My name is mac, mr. Toby.



Mine's clint, mr. Jug.



I dare say, you lads have been to the zoo?

I have, but my friend hasn't. He's an american.



Ahh, you don't say.



We have zoos in america, too, you know.

Ahh, fancy that now.

I thought in america, the animals ran wild.

I don't remember if the zoo has any tortoises.

Oh, are you interested in tortoises?

Yes, we are.

Oh. Heh heh.

Well, here's your place.

Fanciest animals in the world,

brought here at great expense for lads 'ats like 'em.



But we haven't got time now.

Oh, no time like the present. Come on there.

We shall have to wait for mr. Smith at the other end, anyway.

Take 15 minutes off and enjoy yourselves.

I think we should get on.

Tortoises, is it?



How much does it cost to go in?



Whatever it is, you've got it.



Oh, leave that, and I'll guard it with my life.

And don't be longer than 15 minutes, mind.

I guess it's ok. Come on.

Narrator: ladies and gentlemen,

the honorable pamela gwendolyn stewart,

who is just ting london to be in on

the birthday celebrations for prince charles.

Right now, she's visiting london's famous zoo.

Her attendant is miss cortwright simpson,

What I'm trying to say is that the little doll
