00:00Today, Rupert and his friends set out to catch a burglar in Rupert Turns Detective.

00:30There's a million stories to be told, all the things that he's done. And he's gonna share them all with you, so come along.

00:44Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name. Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.

00:58Rupert is just finishing his breakfast when PC Growler arrives.

01:13Oh, come in, says Mrs. Bear. There's still some tea in the pot.

01:18Thank you, says the policeman.

01:21Uh, uh, might I have a word with you, Mr. Bear? he continues.

01:27Hmm, of course. What's the matter? inquires Mr. Bear, surprised.

01:32For PC Growler looks very worried.

01:35Well, uh, a number of burglaries have taken place in and around Nutwood lately, and, uh, he lowers his voice.

01:43It's all highly mysterious because all the clues point to Sailor Sam.

01:49What? Mrs. Bear is surprised.

01:52Well, he's at sea anyway, says Mr. Bear.

01:56Yes, I know. That's what makes it even more strange.

02:00Mr. Bear catches sight of Rupert.

02:03Off you go and play, he says firmly.

02:06Rupert goes out into the garden.

02:09But he doesn't feel like playing at all. He's much too concerned.

02:14Sailor Sam? Why should Mr. Growler suspect Sailor Sam of all people? he puzzles.

02:21This calls for some first-class detective work.

02:25Hello, Rupert! shout Bill and Edward from the gate.

02:30Oh, hello! Rupert's glad to see his friends.

02:34Will you come with me to Sailor Sam's house?

02:37But he's at sea, exclaims Bill.

02:41Precisely, my dear Watson.

02:43Oh, good. Are we playing detectives? asks Edward.

02:48No, we're not playing. We really are.

02:52Quick, jump into the chariot.

02:54It's a matter of life and death, cries Rupert urgently.

02:58Hey, hey, wait for me, puffs Podgy, last as usual.

03:03And the little pig tumbles higgledy-piggledy into the chariot and almost falls out again.

03:09Rupert, do be careful, complains Podgy.

03:13Sorry.

03:14Sorry.

03:15You see, Mr. Growler is looking for a burglar.

03:19And he suspects Sailor Sam.

03:21So we're going to investigate because I know why.

03:24Look! shouts Bill.

03:26There's smoke coming out of his chimney.

03:32Wowee!

03:33That's weird, says Rupert.

03:38They make their way quietly towards the cottage.

03:43And peer in through the window.

03:46And see... Sailor Sam!

03:50The man turns.

03:52And Rupert and his friends breathe a sigh of relief as they realise their mistake.

03:58It's a man they've never seen before, wearing Sailor Sam's clothes.

04:04So that's the burglar, whispers Podgy.

04:08Hot cheek, mutters Edward.

04:11Wizardy whizz, whispers the little bear.

04:15No wonder Constable Growler suspects Sam.

04:18Let's go and tell him, Bill suggests.

04:22No, replies Rupert thoughtfully.

04:26We'll need evidence.

04:28I know.

04:29We'll lay a trap and catch him ourselves.

04:32What a smashing idea, Bill whispers excitedly as they creep silently away.

04:39Now listen.

04:41We must take turns in keeping watch.

04:43And then we can follow him and catch him red-handed, shouts Bill excitedly.

04:48Shhh!

04:50I'll go on watch first, volunteers Bill.

04:54And he creeps back through the bushes.

04:57And so all morning the burglars kept under observation.

05:03For Rupert and his friends have no reservation about catching this wicked man who's posing as Sailor Sam.

05:10It's your turn now, Podgy, says Rupert, turning up on the little pig's doorstep.

05:16Oh, is it?

05:18The little pig doesn't feel all that keen.

05:21For he's eaten a very large lunch.

05:24Oh, come on.

05:26I'll give you a lift if you like, suggests Rupert.

05:29All right.

05:31But I feel so tired, says Podgy, yawning sleepily.

05:35Well, don't you dare fall asleep while you're on watch, warns Rupert.

05:41Podgy gets himself into a comfortable position, which is just right for seeing and not being seen.

05:48It's also just right for sleeping.

05:52Especially after a very large lunch.

05:55And...

05:56Wake up, Podgy, wake up!

06:02I told you not to go to sleep, cries Rupert.

06:12The cottage is empty too.

06:14You let the burglar get away.

06:16Bill is cross.

06:18I know, cries Rupert excitedly.

06:21Let's go and hide inside the house.

06:24And then we'll be able to catch him when he comes back with the loot.

06:27Oh yes, let's, cries Bill, making towards the cottage.

06:31Podgy doesn't agree.

06:33I think it's a rotten idea.

06:35He's big and strong and...

06:37And...

06:38All right.

06:39You stay out here.

06:40That would be better, Rupert decides.

06:42And as soon as you see the burglar coming back, run and fetch Constable Growler as quick as you can.

06:48Podgy approves of that idea.

06:50But don't go to sleep.

06:52No.

06:53I promise.

06:55Podgy is so relieved that he doesn't have to hide inside the house, that he really means it this time.

07:03This cupboard will do, says Rupert.

07:10Look, there's just room for the three of us.

07:13Why, it's full of Sailor Sam's souvenirs.

07:17Trumpety trumps, I wouldn't like those masks on my wall, declares Edward.

07:24Why, that gives me an idea, exclaims Rupert delightedly.

07:28There's a crack we can look through too, see, says Bill.

07:32As Rupert carefully pulls the door towards them.

07:37It's a bit like hide and seek, whispers Rupert.

07:41More like sardines, says Edward, who's rather squashed.

07:46I hope he doesn't seek us instead of we him, says Bill nervously.

07:50We'll all rush out together when I give the signal, instructs Rupert.

07:55Podgy is really on the lookout this time, and spots Sailor Sam's blue coat the moment it comes into sight.

08:01He's even more thrilled when he sees that the burglar is carrying a large sack.

08:06And in spite of the butterflies in his tummy, creeps quietly, very quietly, away from the cottage.

08:13The cottage door swings open, and in comes the burglar.

08:21Rupert, Bill and Edward hold their breath as they watch through the crack in the cupboard door.

08:26He tips up the sack, and everything tumbles out.

08:31It's Tiger Lily's father's conjuring equipment.

08:35The burglar picks up a box, and out pops a rabbit.

08:38Oh! exclaims the startled burglar, dropping the box.

08:42Now! shouts Rupert, and he, Bill and Edward rush out of the cupboard,

08:47wearing Sailor Sam's masks and making a fearful din.

08:56The burglar stands transfixed with fright.

09:00Edward trips over a box, and out pops a snake.

09:03This is altogether much too much for the burglar.

09:06Oh, help! Save me! Help!

09:08He shouts.

09:09He turns and runs to the door, straight into PC Growler's arms.

09:14Save me! Help! Save me!

09:16He cries.

09:19Rupert is excited, for Sailor Sam is coming home.

09:24And Mrs Bear has invited him to tea, so that Rupert and his friends can tell him all about the burglar.

09:31I want to thank you, because not only did you catch the burglar,

09:34but you cleared my name as well, he tells them gratefully.

09:39The conjuring tricks helped. He thought that snake was real.

09:43That reminds me. I've got a conjuring trick, says Sailor Sam, producing a large empty box.

09:49Look! It's empty, isn't it?

09:54Yes! Yes!

09:57Abracadabra, cries Sam, waving his arms over the box.

10:03And a whole lot of sweets come cascading out.

10:07Ooh! That's the kind of conjuring trick I do like, declares Podgy approvingly.

10:14It's much better than a silly old rabbit.

10:16Rupert!

10:17Rupert! Rupert the Bell! Everyone sing his name!

10:23Rupert! Rupert! Rupert! Rupert the Bell! Everyone sing his name!

10:38Rupert! Rupert the Bell! Everyone come and join in all of his games!

10:47In all of his games

10:50Rupert, Rupert the Bell

10:53Everyone come and join

10:57In all of his games
