You can't beat a hot bun in winter, can you?
Mmm. It's the best!
Oh, my. Meimi, that big mouth. It's really un-ladylike!
Well then, I'll just have another.
What?!
It's gone!
Those are my buns! Give them back to me!
Meimi, wait a minute!
Hold it!
Look out!
Meimi, pull yourself together!
I'm so glad you're okay.
What's with that dog?!
Run After a Jewel Thief! Little, The Naughty Dog
Little?
He's quite popular at that park.
They say he goes off with whatever he pleases.
With a name like "Little" and a big body like that...
what a strange thing to call him.
But I feel sorry for Little.
Sorry?
Little's original owner was transferred to work abroad...
because of his job.
Little was left with a friend...
but the friend's wife didn't like him.
He doesn't get any attention at all.
I see.
He's trying to get attention by taking people's things.
This bun is really delicious.
Wasn't that good?
Here...
Go get it!
Little! Here we go again!
Fetch!
Are you alright?
Haneoka, what do you think you're doing?!
Have you got some kind of grudge against me?!
What?!
It's your fault for reading the paper while walking!
I read the paper to gather information on St. Tail.
Not very much help, is it?
She just keeps slipping past you every time.
What's that?!
What about it?!
The Jewel Thief Appears!
Hey, you! Wait!
Hey, I said hold it!
Darn dog running into a place like this.
I see.
He hides the things he steals in that hole.
Little!
You shouldn't do things like this!
Right?
You two...
There it is!
Hey, brother, that's it! The raccoon stuffed-animal.
I'll go get it back.
What are you doing?! Get to work!
Ouch! What are you doing, brother?!
Hey, Mister!
I'd like this stuffed animal.
Yes, welcome!
"Stuffed Toy Shop CHILD" Here you are. Thanks for waiting.
Little is an innocent, good dog.
Not the best looking, but...
Is it possible you're jealous of Little and me?
Don't be stupid. I like you best of all.
Akira, everything will be fine.
Your prayers will surely reach God.
That boy, Akira, took the stuffed animal raccoon from Yoko.
He likes her so much...
he probably did it to get her attention.
Akira, regretting what he had done...
tried to return the stuffed-animal right away.
But someone stole the stuffed animal from him.
Who would do such a terrible thing?
Well, the culprit is a dog.
A dog?
Do you mean, Little?
We know that the stuffed animal is somewhere in that park but...
Hold it!
I'll get that stuffed animal.
Meimi!
Little!
Maybe he's not here today?
That's strange.
He's not over here, either.
What?
The stuffed animal is gone.
Little!
Hey! Be quiet!
You idiot!
Why did you bring the dog along?!
What could I do?!
He wouldn't let go of the stuffed animal!
Let's just get out of here!
Little!
Shut up! I just got the baby to sleep!
Oh, it's alright.
I'm very sorry.
Little!
Little, where are you?!
Hey, be quiet!
You caused a lot of trouble.
He's the one that made the mistake...
and put the toy out for sale!
Hey brother, let's stop doing this stuffed-animal business.
We're supposed to be jewel thieves.
You idiot!
The stuffed animal-toy shop is to camouflage the jewel thefts!
How dumb can you be?
Never mind!
What counts is that the jewel is back.
We hide the stolen jewels in the stuffed animals.
When things cool down...
we can take them to another city and pawn 'em off.
It's a great racket.
The only thing left is to get rid of the dog.
You're gonna kill him?!
That's outrageous!
Even if he's a dog...
we can't let anybody who knows about us get away.
Little!
Where has he gone?
Hold him still!
Brother, I don't like this sort of thing!
You imbecile!
Sorry.
After him!
Little...
Little!
You're alright, aren't you?!
Hey, that tickles!
Hey! Hold it!
Where have you been all this time?
Little!
Yipes! Get out of sight!
What's the matter?!
What? Is there something wrong here?
Okay, okay!
That's Yoko's raccoon!
Hey! What are you doing?!
Little, stop it!
Ah, may I take a look around in this warehouse?
This place is off-limits.
Jerk.
What's that?!
Oh, nothing.
Thank you very much.
Can we just let them go like that?
We've got no choice.
We'll have to change plans.
Mr. Asuka Jr.
St. Tail!
"I'll be picking up a stuffed-toy raccoon..."
"from the number one warehouse. - St. Tail."
A stuffed-toy raccoon?
What's she gonna do with a thing like that?
Lord, forgive me, for I use no gimmick or trick.
One!
Two!
Three!
Looks like it's necessary for St. Tail to make an appearance after all.
But I wonder what the raccoon is doing in a place like that?
That storage area is rumored to be connected with criminal activity.
Be very careful.
Sure.
I'll be fine.
I'm only going there to get that stuffed animal.
May the blessings of God be with us!
Not even St. Tail would be able to get past this security.
Well, there's no way into the warehouse other than this door.
Don't underestimate St. Tail!
Stay on guard.
Yes sir!
Asuka Jr! What's that?!
What?!
St. Tail!
Everyone! Stay at your posts!
Yes, sir!
I've got you now, St. Tail!
A rubber doll?
Oh, no!
Asuka Jr!
One!
Two!
Three!
Darn it!
St. Tail has gotten into the warehouse!
St. Tail, today I'll get you for sure.
It's...
Show...
Time!
What's going on?!
Why?
Yoko's raccoon isn't here!
Darn it!
Oh, no!
Hold it! St. Tail!
Where could Yoko's raccoon have gone?
Little?!
Why are you here?
Wait, Little!
Could the raccoon be here?
Someone's here!
Little!
This is bad! Hide over there!
You!
Where are you?! St. Tail!
You won't get away!
Thank you, Little.
Darn it!
What are you doing?!
You're jewel thieves, aren't you?
So what if we are?
Okay...
hand that thing over.
Hurry up and hand it over!
What! That mutt!
A diamond!
You...
Akira returned the raccoon to Yoko.
They've really become close.
The jewel thieves have been arrested.
So I guess we can consider this case closed, right?
We owe it all to Little, don't we?
That's right. Little deserves the credit.
That dog, why was he at the warehouse?
Little...
I'll race you to that tree!
Ready!
Go!
