In the quiet town of Bluefield, bandits are hiding out. Jingles and Bill head in to the general store to gather details. What will they discover about the counterfeiters? Jingles poses as an extra clerk in the store, and even has a little boy for a helper.
The tyke is nicknamed Snooper, and his desire is to become a famous detective. Bill takes him under his wing to offer pointers on what it takes to be good at both detecting, and keeping secrets. Meanwhile, Jingles has his own troubles keeping the store, waiting on customers, and watching for bogus bills. I think it’s safe to say that Jingles could use a course on customer service skills.
Friendly Miss Schucks seems to have come into cash, and Bill finds that both she, and the mean jasper who tangled with Jingles have both passed a fake bank note. Might they be involved with counterfeiting? Snooper stumbles onto a secret that could prove to be deadly to Wild Bill.
As Bill moves in, the bad guys scramble to hide the evidence of their crime. Will the counterfeiters have a trap set for our heros, or with Wild Bill manage his own trap? Snooper lends a hand, and locates the loot that clenches the fate of our bad guys.
Trivia: We learn today that Jingles has a last name, Jones. Hey, the sponsor has changed their jingle, and their cereal boxes as well.
