Yakko woke up the next day. Before going to the kitchen, he went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He attempted to sing a note, but he was still mute. He went to the main room, surprised that Wakko and Dot were already up.

"Is your voice still gone?" said Wakko.

Yes. I checked, and nothing came out!

"Well," said Dot, "maybe someone stole it!"

"Or maybe it decided to fly out of his mouth!" said Wakko.

Dot nudged him.

"Wakko, voices can't do that!"

Well, I guess we'll just have to take Scratchy's advice and wait for it to come back. We'll have to be on schedule with a mute me today.

After eating breakfast, they escaped the water tower and, as usual, were being chased by Ralph. Yakko pinched his nose as Wakko used his mallet to hit him on the head. They taunted him as they ran amuck. Ralph noticed that something was different about Yakko, but shrugged it off as if it wasn't important. After a while, the Warners ran into Pinky and the Brain.

"Gee, Brain!" said Pinky. "Look who stopped by! Narf!"

"If it isn't the Warner siblings," said Brain. "Running away from Ralph as usual."

"Hi Pinky!" said Wakko.

"Hi Brain!" said Dot.

Yakko just waved.

"How are you?" said Wakko.

"We're well," said Brain.

"Zort!" said Pinky. "What about you?"

"We're good!" said Dot.

Yakko gave them a thumbs up.

"Something is peculiar about your behavior," said Brain. "How come you aren't talking?"

I lost my voice.

"That's the first," said Brain.

"What did he say?" said Pinky.

"He lost his voice," said Dot. "It's his second day as a mute."

"We have no idea what happened," said Wakko.

"That's a shame," said Pinky. "I hope you can talk again soon. Narf!"

Ralph was catching up to the Warners, so they had to leave.

"See ya!" said Wakko as they were pursued again.

They ran off, running again for a while. They hid in an alley, where Rita and Runt came out.

"Well, well, well!" said Rita. "Look who stopped by!"

"Hi Rita," said Dot. "Hi Runt."

Yakko waved.

"You're being chased again," said Runt. "Definitely chased!"

"That's right!" said Wakko.

Yakko nodded in agreement.

"Say," said Runt. "There's something different about you."

Yakko nodded.

"I can't put my foot down on it right now but-"

"He's not talking!" said Rita.

"Oh," said Runt, "so that's what it is!"

"What's the matter?" said Rita. "Cat got your tongue?"

Yakko silently chuckled at her pun.

"He lost his voice," said Dot.

"Aw, no!" said Runt. "That's awful!"

"Not a sound!" said Wakko.

"That's too bad," said Rita. "You had a nice voice."

Thank you.

Ralph spotted them again.

"Gotta go!" said Dot. "Bye!"

They ran off again. Ralph was catching up, but Yakko grabbed a tennis racket and a tennis ball, and hit Ralph in the face with the ball.

Don't worry! We hit you with love!

Wakko played the drums to accompany Yakko's pun. They stopped when they saw Minerva Mink passing by.

"Helloooooo Nurse!" said Wakko as Yakko pantomimed with him.

"Boys," said Dot. "Go fig."

Wakko jumped in a surprised Minerva's arms.

Looks like today's the day you get reeled in!

"I'm awfully flattered," said Minerva as she pushed Wakko away, "but I'd rather not have a relationship right now."

Then she turned to Yakko.

"And what's up with you?"

"Don't blame him," said Dot. "He lost his voice."

"Oh, that's terrible!" said Minerva.

Tell me about it!

Ralph was catching up to them again.

"We better go," said Wakko. "Ralph's coming back!"

"Ok," said Minerva. "I hope you get better soon!"

Thanks!

"Bye, Minerva!" said Dot.

Once again, Ralph was on their tracks. Meanwhile, Minerva told her friends about Yakko's problem. They told their friends, who told their friends, who told their friends, and word spread quickly. A newswoman heard about what happened and decided to have Yakko talk about it.

"This is just in!" she said. "Yakko Warner, famous for his yakking, has gone mute! I'm here live at the Warner Bros. Movie Lot with Yakko and his siblings. Tell me, how did this happen?

"We don't know," said Wakko. "He woke up last morning, and nothing came out!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes," said Dot. "Scratchansniff recommended that we wait for his voice to come back, but so far Yakko still can't make a single sound."

If I end up being mute for another day, I'll go nuts!

Wakko translated for the newswoman as she appeared confused.

"I see," she replied. "Well, I hope you get your voice back soon! More info about this story is coming up!"

The Warners retreated to their water tower and hoped that Yakko's voice would come back the next day.
