Hamburgular in Petsburg and Muttgomery

Everyone is enjoying their burgers, but the Hamburgular thought otherwise.

(Story begins in Petsburg, at the Pupstruction HQ)

The Pup Crew was having party with the Doxies and some of their neighbors and friends.

Roxy: Man. This party rocks.

Luna: I know.

Tank: But you know what will make it better?

Phinny, Roxy, and Luna: What?

Phinny: Is it food?

Tank: How did you know?

Julie: I mean, it's kinda you're thing.

(CJ's stomach growls)

Bumper: (laughs) And CJ's thing.

CJ: You can say that again.

Bumper: Food is your thing too.

(All laughing)

Puck: You know, all this talk of food is making hungry.

Mike: Yeah. Me too.

Greta: Don't worry, everyone.

Maya: Harry and Pretzel will be out with the food.

Grandma Dee: Yeah. And it's nice that we're all getting to know each other.

Nana Doxie: Of course.

Harry: We're here.

Pretzel: We got the grill.

Harry: And we got the food.

Harry started grilling the kibble burgers. When he was done, he put them all on one big plate.

Harry: Burgers are done. Come and get 'em.

Tank: I've been waiting for this moment.

Bumper: Amazing.

Maya: Deliciosó.

Phinny: Thanks, Dad.

Bailey: Lunch. Yay.

Pedro: Thanks, Mr. Phinny's Dad.

Harry: Please, just call me Harry. And you're welcome.

But then, the Hamburgular was watching from behind the HQ.

Hamburgular: Those burgers will be mine. (chuckles)

He threw a rock which made everyone confused.

Greta: What was that?

Phinny: I think it came from over there. Near HQ.

They all looked.

Paxton: Come on.

They all went to look. When the table was unguarded, the Hamburgular took the burgers. Then he sneaked away.

Poppy: That was strange.

Pippa: Yeah. There was no one there.

Pretzel: Don't worry, pups.

Dougie: Yeah. Let's just enjoy lunch.

But when they came back, they were surprised to see that their kibble burgers were gone.

Phinny: Oh no. What happened to our lunch?

Luna: I guess you were really hungry, Tank.

Tank: That wasn't me, Luna. I was with you guys. Besides, I would've gotten a tummy ache.

Nana Doxie: He's right.

Puck: But then, who took our food?

The Hamburgular set off for more hamburgers. Swifty and his family were enjoying a barbecue too.

Swifty: I hope you're hungry, because kibble burgers are done.

Grandpa Wally: Most wonderful. Thanks, son.

Chip: Thank you, Dada.

Swifty: (laughs) My pleasure.

The Hamburgular was watching.

Hamburgular: Dogs can't resist playing fetch.

Then the Hamburgular threw the ball.

All: Ball!

Swifty: Get it.

Hamburgular: Mine. (laughs and grabs burgers)

Swifty: That was fun.

(All gasps)

Grandpa Wally: Our burgers.

(At Bone Appetito)

Funny Ferguson: Three kibble burgers, please.

Chef Boneitelli: Coming right up.

It took a few minutes, but the burgers were finally done.

Chef Boneitelli: Three kibble burgers, fresh and right off the pan.

Banjo: Ooh. These look so good.

Just then, the Hamburgular threw a smoke bomb and quickly grabbed the burgers. Then the smoke disappeared.

Sheila: (coughs) Oh my. What was that?

Funny Ferguson: Hey, where's our burgers?

Chef Boneitelli: I don't know.

They went outside and saw Pupstruction asking everyone.

Chef Boneitelli: Oh. Pupstruction. Doxies.

Phinny: Oh. Hi, Chef Boneitelli. Is everything okay?

Chef Boneitelli: I'm afraid not.

Maya: What happened?

Chef Boneitelli: I was serving burgers to Funny, Sheila, and Banjo, but then this smoke bomb came out of nowhere. When the smoke was gone, so were the kibble burgers.

Tank: Yikes. That's not good.

Greta: No, it isn't. Someone took ours too.

Swifty: Hey, everyone.

Roxy: Hi, Swifty.

Luna: Let me guess, someone took your kibble burgers too?

Swifty: Yes.

Mrs. Poochman: Someone took ours as well.

Just then, James, Jones, and their arrived.

James: The same thing happened to us.

The Hamburgular sniggled. Bailey suddenly spotted him.

Bailey: Bark, bark.

Phinny: Bailey, what is it?

Bailey: Bark, bark. (points at the Hamburgular from afar)

Phinny: Hey, wait. I see someone. Maybe they're the ones who took our stuff.

Paxton: Hey, you. Stop.

Bumper: Come back.

But he had already disappeared.

Roxy: No. He's gone.

(Meanwhile, in Muttgomery)

Dog Dad: They're done.

Pups: Yay.

(Hamburgular sniggles)

The Hamburgular grabbed them with a rope.

Dog Mom: Hey, come back.

Mr. Barkbinder: Delicious woof burgers.

The Hamburgular quickly grabbed it and dashed.

Mr. Barkbinder: Give that back.

The City Council was about to eat theirs too. But the Hamburgular quickly grabbed and dashed away with the burgers.

All: Hey.

(Back in Petsburg)

Roxy: What do we do?

Luna: Yeah. At this rate, no one will have burgers.

(Tablet ringing)

Maya answers the call. It was everyone in Muttgomery.

Greta: Hey, it's everyone back home.

Pretzel: Hey, everyone.

Puck: Is everything okay?

Mr. Barkbinder: Some bandit just took our burgers.

Mr. Bernard: Yeah. We were looking forward of enjoying lunch.

Ms. Clawtez: Can you all help us?

Phinny: Of course we can.

(ringing)

Maya: Wait, we're getting another call.

Maya answers that call. It was Bingo, Rolly, Leo, and Buster.

Phinny: Hi, guys.

Tank: Did someone take your burgers too?

Rolly: How did you know? (gasps) Do you have mind reading powers?

Tank: No. This burger thief struck Petsburg and Muttgomery.

Bingo: Well, it just struck Bob's favorite burger food truck.

Phinny: Don't worry. We'll catch this bandit.

Buster: Phew. We were worried.

Leo: Thanks, everyone. See you guys soon.

Luna: He's been striking everywhere.

Phinny: Luckily, we know someone who can help us.

(At Professor Frazzle's lab)

Professor Frazzle: Oh, here he is. He's called the Hamburgular.

Everyone: The Hamburgular?

Professor Frazzle: Precisely.

Luna: Who's the Hamburgular?

Professor Frazzle: He's a mascot at a fast food restaurant called McDonald's. And he's also a master hamburger and sandwich thief. He's always out to steal hamburgers.

Phinny: Then that's who we need to stop. Alright, team. We've got a hamburgular to catch.

Pup Crew: It's Pupstruction time. Awoo.

They got in their flying trucks and took to the skies.

Greta: Good luck.

They finally got to the city in Connecticut.

Phinny: Well, crew, this is Connecticut.

Professor Frazzle: Yes. Home to the humans.

Tank: But it's gonna be bad if they see ten dogs and a cat with clothes.

Professor Frazzle: He's right.

Royal: But at least we're kinda blending in.

Professor Frazzle: According to my map, McDonald's is that way. Let's go.

They were walking, but then some people and pets saw them.

Bumper: This is really humiliating.

CJ: But fun.

(People talking to one and another)

Roxy: Pups, they're becoming suspicious.

Julie: Just keep going.

They kept walking past like normal pets.

Mike: At least we made it past all those people.

Royal: Yeah. Things couldn't possibly get worse.

But then, a dog was sniffing his butt.

Royal: Hey. Excuse me. Couldn't you have asked before doing that?

But another dog was sniffing Luna. Luna joined in apparently.

(Luna and dog sniffing each other)

Julie: Luna!!

Luna: Oh, sorry. This is fun though.

Bernese Mountain Dog: Wait, is that a cat? (growls and barks)

Professor Frazzle: Yikes. (hides behind Tank)

Roxy: Hey, back off.

Bernese Mountain Dog: What are you doing? She's a cat.

Bumper: Well, this cat is our friend. Our amigo.

Bernese Mountain Dog: Oh, sorry. Got carried away there. My apologies, ma'am.

Professor Frazzle: Aww. That's okay. Who's a good boy? (scratching the dog's belly)

Bernese Mountain Dog: Whoo. That feels better. My name is Bacon. So where are you off to?

Tank: Oh. McDonald's.

Bernese Mountain Dog: McDonald's. I know that place. But you know pets aren't allowed.

Phinny: No, wait. You don't understand.

Mike: He's right. Have you heard of the Hamburgular, Bacon?

Bacon: Oh, I've heard of him alright. In fact, I know about him. Everyone across the world does. That no good sandwich thief.

Professor Frazzle: Well he struck Petsburg and Muttgomery.

Bacon: That isn't good. Well, McDonald's is far from here.

Just then, a little jack russell terrier named Nilla started sniffing Tank.

Tank: Whoa.

Nilla: Oh, sorry about that. My name is Nilla.

Phinny: Nice to meet you, Nilla.

Nilla: Hey, isn't it to early for Halloween. Where are your humans?

Roxy: We don't have humans.

Phinny: Yeah. We're Pupstruction.

Bacon: You do construction?

Luna: That's right. And this is Professor Frazzle, a scientist.

Professor Frazzle: It's an honor.

Nilla: That sounds wonderful. So, I heard you were trying to catch the Hamburgular, and trying to get to McDonald's.

Professor Frazzle: Uh. Yeah.

Nilla: I know the way. Follow me.

Phinny: Thanks, Nilla. Bye, Bacon.

Bacon: Goodbye, Pupstruction. And good luck.

So they followed Nilla.

Roxy: Nilla, question. Are you homeless? Not to be mean. But I just noticed you don't have a collar like every other dog.

Nilla: Oh. That's because I was never adopted. When I was a young puppy, I was with my mom and dad. But everything changed.

Tank: What about your parents?

Professor Frazzle: What happened?

Nilla: They got sick and... (sniffles and starts sobbing a little)

Professor Frazzle: Oh no. We're sorry.

Nilla: After that, I wasn't going to stay in the pound forever. So I made my choice. I squeezed through the bars and made my escape.

Julie: Oh my. We're so sorry to hear that.

Nilla: It's fine.

Luna: No it's not.

Tank: Yeah. I would be sad too if I lost my parents or friends.

Nilla: Yeah. Thanks, guys. I understand you're trying to make me feel better, thanks. But we got a job to do. Let's roll.

They started hiking to get to McDonald's. And they finally arrived at McDonald's.

Nilla: Here it is.

Everyone: Whoa.

Nilla: Everyone, I present you the golden arches, the home of burgers, fries, nuggets, sandwiches, McDonald's.

Royal: It looks... beautiful.

Tank: Let's go.

Nilla: The Hamburgular is usually the mascot here.

Professor Frazzle: That's what I said. But he also steals burgers and sandwiches, too.

Nilla: Exactly. Wait, there he is.

Hamburgular: Hotter, juicier, tastier, mine.

Nilla: Let's get him.

Hamburgular: They're all mine.

CJ: Yeah. We don't think so. Get him.

They tried to grab him, but the Hamburgular was too tricky.

Hamburgular: Nice try. Toodles. (laughs and runs in McDonald's)

Phinny: We need disguises.

Professor Frazzle: I got this.

They were all wearing detective outfits.

Nilla: Now we look mysterious. I like it.

They went inside McDonald's and sat at a table.

Julie: See him?

Mike: Hmm. (looks around) No.

Tank: But I smell the food.

Bumper: Tank, focus. Wait. Over there. He's about to sneak away.

Hamburgular: Mine.

Bumper: I don't think so. Surround him.

Everyone surround and grabbed him.

Hamburgular: Oh really. (tickles everyone)

(All laughing and falls)

Nilla: He's not getting away from me.

Nilla leaped at him. But missed.

Hamburgular: Bye.

Mike: No. He got away.

The Petsburgians and Nilla ran outside. They couldn't see the Hamburgular anywhere.

Phinny: Aww man. We lost him.

(Ringing)

Phinny takes the call. It was everyone back at Petsburg.

Phinny: Hi, Mom.

Maya: Holá, Phinny. How's it going?

Phinny: Problem, we found the Hamburgular, but he got away. But we have a new friend helping us.

Luna: Yeah. This is Nilla.

Phinny: Nilla, this is my and my dad. And my sister, Bailey. And my Grandma Dee.

Nilla: Hi there, everyone.

Everyone: Hello.

Nilla: Who are they?

Tank: Those are the Doxies. Pretzel, Greta, Nana Doxie, Pippa, Pedro, Paxton, Puck, and Poppy. They're visiting us from their hometown.

Nilla: Nice to meet you too. Nice length, Pretzel.

Pretzel: Why thank you.

Phinny: Don't worry. We'll find him. That's a Pupstruction promise.

Grandma Dee: We knew we could count on you pups.

Harry: See you all soon.

Bailey: Bye.

(Call ends)

Nilla: This is all my fault.

Luna: What?

Nilla: I should've jumped higher. And now that burger bandit is still stealing hamburgers. I'm sorry.

Phinny: That's okay. It was an accident. And we'll catch him.

Nilla: We will? How?

Tank: Yeah, Phinny. He's far away by now. Plus, he's sneaky.

Professor Frazzle: But Phinny is right. We can catch him.

Tank: (sniffs) The scent of those burgers smells good.

Phinny: That's it, Tank.

Tank: What's it?

Phinny: We can follow the scent of hamburgers that was stolen.

Tank: What can I say, I never forget food.

Phinny: We'll need our trucks. To the Pup-Truck.

Nilla: Pup-Truck?

Phinny: We'll show you.

Phinny, Tank, Roxy, and Luna pressed the autopilot buttons. And their vehicles automatically drives to them.

Luna: I forgot our trucks can be on autopilot.

Nilla: Whoa. Amazing.

Luna: It's gets even cooler.

Phinny: Yep. Tools up, pups.

They insert their tools and combines their trucks into the Pup-Truck.

Nilla: Now that... Was... Pawsome.

They all got in the trucks and drove off.

Phinny: Okay, Tank. Lead the way.

Tank: Haul right. (sniffs) Okay. He went this way.

They drove all the way to a house.

Tank: (sniffs) I smell burgers from in there.

Professor Frazzle: Then this is definitely the place.

Phinny: Disguises on. (puts on his fadora)

They peeked from a corner.

Hamburgular: (laughs) I did it. I managed to steal the hamburgers from everyone. But I kinda feel bad. (squeaks Quacksley) You're right, Quacksley. They're our now.

Julie: That's what you think. But I think not.

Hamburgular: Who are you?

Julie: Not important. I'm going to ask to return all those cheeseburgers to everyone you stole from.

Hamburgular: Uh, never. They're all mine.

Mike: Really?

Hamburgular: Huh?

Mike: We're doing this the hard way then. Guys.

Everyone came from their hiding spots and surrounded the Hamburgular.

Hamburgular: What is this?

Phinny: A ticket to jail. Hiya.

Everyone: Hiya.

They started running after the Hamburgular. But he was way too tricky to get caught. The Petsburgians surrounded him again outside.

Nilla: You're not getting away that easy.

Hamburgular: Oh, yeah.

He throws a smoke bomb at them.

Phinny: (coughs) I can't see.

CJ: Yeah. And I'm getting tired.

Bumper: CJ!! Wait. (yawns) Actually, me too.

Everyone: Yeah.

They all fell asleep. But when they woke up, they were tied up.

Roxy: Hey, what's going on?

Police officer: You're going the pound, that's what. Dogs and a cat stealing hamburgers.

Professor Frazzle: Wait, it wasn't us. It was the Hamburgular.

Police officer: Save it. We all know that he's a mascot. Now get in.

They took them to the pound.

(Back in Petsburg)

Greta: I wonder if they're okay.

Harry: Don't worry. Phinny and his crew can do anything.

(Ringing)

Maya: That must be him now. Hello.

Phinny: Hey, Mom.

Maya: Phinny, where are you all?

Tank: It's a long story.

Nilla: We kinda got thrown in the pound.

Nana Doxie: What? How?

Mike: We found the Hamburgular's house.

Luna: But he escaped and tied us up. The police thought we took the cheeseburgers.

Maya: Oh no. Wait there, I'll get you out of there.

Phinny: No. I don't want my family involved with this.

Maya: I know. But we can't just do nothing about this. So we're helping.

Phinny: Thanks, Mom. We'll see you soon.

(Call ends)

Harry: Honey, we're not seriously doing this, are we?

Maya: Sí, we are.

Harry: Okay. Let's do it.

They got in the Pup-copter and took off. Meanwhile, the pups, Professor Frazzle, and Nilla were sad in the pound.

Bumper: (sighs sadly) This is the worst day ever.

Roxy: Yeah. We just wanted to have a party. Why did that burger thief had to ruin it?

Everyone: Yeah.

(Guard grunts)

Tank: Huh? What's happening?

A few dogs with fadoras and jackets stepped closer to them. But it was their friends.

Maya: Hey, crew.

Phinny: Mom. Dad.

They picked the lock and set them free.

Phinny and his family hugged each other.

Phinny: We're sorry we failed.

Grandma Dee: Don't let your hearts sink. It wasn't your fault. What do you say? Wanna catch a burger?

Tank: We say, let's do it.

Nilla: I'm still in.

They all snuck out the facility.

Luna: We're free. I missed you, dirt.

Pretzel: So how do we stop the Hamburgular?

Professor Frazzle: Well, we can't track him anymore. He crushed the tracking device.

Nilla: Well, he does like stealing sandwiches. It's like his main thing.

Poppy: It's too bad we don't hamburgers right now. We could have set a trap to catch him.

Phinny: Poppy, that's it. Maybe we can. Guys, he likes taking cheeseburgers. What's one of the restaurants that have those?

Everyone: McDonald's.

Phinny: Exactly. What if we made a lot burgers and placed them around the tables.

Tank: Tastiest trap ever.

Phinny: Mom, Dad, Pretzel, Greta, Nana Doxie, and Grandma Dee, I need you to make a lot burgers.

Pretzel: Count us in.

Maya: You got it, Phin.

Phinny: And everyone else we'll lay them down on trays on the tables.

Roxy: Let's crush this!

Tank: Ready to haul!

Luna: I dig it!

Phinny: Alright, everyone. Let's crank it up!

(It's Time to Build song)

Tank: That's a lot of burgers. Can I test taste one?

Phinny: Sorry, Tank. It's for the trap.

Tank: Oh, right. I knew that.

Harry: Hey, I see him.

Pedro: He's coming.

Pippa: Hide!!!!

They all hid.

Hamburgular: Ooh. I can't say no to a snack.

He went in and looked around.

Hamburgular: Good. There's no one.

Greta: Oh, really.

He turned around and sees everyone.

Hamburgular: No. It's a trap.

Mike: Who are you?

Hamburgular: (sighs) It's me. (takes off the masks and reveals to be Mr. Puppypaws)

Everyone: Mr. Puppypaws?

Phinny: But why?

Mr. Puppypaws: All those homeless dogs, that's why. Scrounging around the garbage. So I wanted to help them.

Nilla: We understand. Even I understand. I was homeless when I lost my parents. But I didn't steal anything, like you.

Tank: It was nice to do something nice for those dogs, but stealing isn't the right way to do it.

Mr. Puppypaws: I know. (squeaks Quacksley) Quacksley and I are sorry. We'll put all the burgers back.

Everyone cheered. Back at home, everyone enjoyed their burgers at last.

Tank: It was nice of Mr. Puppypaws and Quacksley returning the food. (bites his burger)

Luna: Yeah. He maybe a villain, but he's also a sweet heart.

Phinny: And now we can enjoy our meal.

(CJ munching some fries)

Everyone was surprised.

CJ: What?

Phinny, Tank, Roxy, Luna, and Bumper: CJ!!!

CJ: What? This isn't enough. So I ordered some.

(Everyone laughing)

But back in Connecticut, the real Hamburgular saw cheeseburgers and sneaked over to them.

Hamburgular: Mine. (sniggles)
