- The Big Dig Problem!
- Can you dig it?
- I certainly can!
- You go, girl!
(cheerful music)
- I, Peg...
(Cat grumbling)
And Cat, too, of course!
...welcome you to...
(Cat tooting like a trombone)
- Our totally awesome
new tree house!
- Uh, Peg, I think
we forgot something.
- Cat's right, our treehouse is
definitely missing something.
I better check my blueprint.
- A blue who?
- A blueprint. It's like
a map that shows
where everything should go
in our tree house.
These four rectangles on the
blueprint are the walls.
They go next to each other
and connect at the corners.
- One, two, three,
four walls. Check.
- And this pyramid is the roof.
According to the blueprint, it
goes on top of the four walls.
- Roof. Che... Nope! No roof!
- That's our pyramid roof,
down there.
- You mean we have to
lift that big, heavy roof
all the way up into this tree?
That's impossible!
- Peg, we've got
a BIG PROB... Ramone?
- Hey, Cat. Don't let me
interrupt your freak out.
I was just putting this roof
on your treehouse for you.
- Thanks, Ramone!
- Whoa, Ramone solved
our problem before it
even became a problem.
- He is that good.
- I do what I can.
- Four walls and a roof. Now all
we have to do is decorate!
But first, time for
a jelly donut break.
- Uh oh. Tummy rumbles.
I'm so hungry!
- Jelly donut, Ramone?
- No thanks, Peg.
I have places to go, people to
help... You know how it is.
- So cool!
- To our new treehouse!
- (very slowly and deeply)
YUUUM.
DONUT!
- EEEK!
- Looks like our donut break's
gonna have to wait, Cat!
The neighbor ladies
have a BIG PROBLEM!
- Let's roll.
- Whoa.
(spy music)
- Peggy! I came out here
to water my beautiful irises--
- I came out here to water
my beautiful tulips--
- Only to find that
they had been plundered--
- Dug up even!
- By a pack of pesky--
- Smelly--
- (together): Pirates! Eek!
- That would explain
the giant pirate ship.
(bell clanging)
- I told you they be
talkin' 'bout us.
- I'm not smelly!
I took a bath last month!
- More like last year!
- Did you pirates dig up the
neighbor ladies' gardens?
- Uh, well...
- They did. Awk!
- You can't just run around
digging up gardens.
- But it was for gold and glory!
- Yeah, and treasure, too!
- The only treasure in my
garden is my prized irises!
- You pirates have to fix the
neighbor ladies' gardens!
- Mmm-hmm. All these flowers
need to be replanted
in rows of five.
- One, two, three, four, five.
They go in rows of five,
all right!
- Uh, rows o' what?
- What's a five?
- What's a rose?
- I gots no idea.
- I can explain rows of five,
Pirates!

- Everything?
- The pirates are digging up
the whole neighborhood!
We've got a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
(musical riff indicating doom)
- Let's do this thing!
(dog barking)
- Out of me way, land beasty!
- Pirates! What's going on here?
- Yarr, we be diggin'
for treasure!
- What makes you think there's
treasure in this neighborhood,
under our mailbox?
- Why, this old-timey
treasure map we found.
- We be minding our business...
- Enjoying our jelly donuts...
- Did you say...jelly donuts?!
- Down, boy!
- When we found this
here treasure map.
- Lookie 'ere, an X.
X means treasure!
- I guess that X on the map
might mean there's treasure
in the neighborhood. But the
treasure's not near the mailbox.
- Look. The drawings on the map
show real places in the
neighborhood, like the mailbox.
The X shows where
the treasure should be.
There's the X and there's
the mailbox way over here.
- Yeesh, don't you pirates know
how to read a treasure map?
- Aye, Cap'n knows
all about maps!
- Uh, actually, I don't. But
Buckler knows how to read a map!
- I thought Grey Beard
knew how to read the map.
- I thought you knew
how to read the map!
- Hey! What about me?
- (laughing): Oh, everyone
knows you can't read a map.
- 'Tis not me fault. I had the
sniffles the day they taught
map reading in me pirate school.
- (all together): Me too!
- So none of you know
how to read a map?
- Nope. Uh uh. Never.
- OK,
Cat and I can help you if you
promise to stop digging up
our neighborhood until we figure
out where the treasure is.
- Aye, can do that.
- So, check it out.
These tracks show us where
to go to get to the X.
- Hey, just like the blueprint
told us where the roof
should go.
- Exactly! The tracks
start at the mailbox.
- Mailbox, ahoy! I found it!
- Next the map says we
go one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven steps
to the fire hydrant.
- How come sometimes
the map thingy shows
two tracks and sometimes
it only shows one?
- That's the most ridiculous
question I ever heard.
- Actually, that's
a really good question.
I have no idea.
- That's what I said.
Good question, Buckler.
- Ooh, ooh! Maybe
when there's one
footprint, we should
hop on one foot!
- I guess we could give
that a try. Follow me!
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven.
- Heave ho!
- Oh no!
This isn't where the X
is on the map. Look!
We're here. The
tracks tell us to
go around and
around the hydrant.
- Why would we go 'round
and 'round all dizzy like?
- Another good question.
I'm not sure,
but that's what the map says.
- And we follow the map!
- Aye, aye! Follow the map!

- Then we go
one, two, three steps
across this bench.
One two three. Whoa!
(drumroll)
Whoa!
- Here's the tree
and here's the X.
So the treasure should be
right under this tree.
- Start diggin', lads!
- The pirates' treasure
is underneath the tree
that holds our
brand new treehouse!
The pirates are gonna
dig up our beautiful tree
and our brand new treehouse!
(Cat's stomach grumbles)
- I am totally FREEE--
- Sorry, could you
hold that thought?
- I gotta have one little bite!
...EEEEAKING OUT!
- Hold on, Peg!
(Cat tooting like a trombone,
whistle blowing sound)
- Cat's right. I should
count backwards
from five to calm down.
- Five, four,
three,
two,
one!
You amazing jelly-donut-eating
genius, Cat!
The tracks on the map
are grape jelly!
- Parrot must've
stepped in the jelly
and walked across the map!
- Mmm! That X is jelly, all
right. Good jelly. Hey!
That's from Mac's
Do's and Donuts!
They make the best jelly donuts!
- Right ye are, Cat.
That's where we were today when
we found the treasure map.
- This isn't a
treasure map at all,
it's a drawing of a random
yard, not my yard.
The map is actually a placemat
from the donut shop,
covered with jelly
marks. Which means...
- Oh! Uh... We should
eat more donuts?
- It means there is no treasure!
- Awww!
- Which means... there's no
reason for the pirates
to dig up our treehouse
or the rest of the neighborhood!
- Yay! We totally
saved our treehouse!
- But I'm sorry you didn't find
any treasure today, pirates.
Pirates?
- Come aboard, landlubbers!
This treehouse
be the bestest treasure
I ever laid me eye on.
