It was a dark and stormy night at Princeton University; Spencer was studying for his latest exam when a group of Chinese warriors broke into his dorm. He tried to hold them off with some slippery sanitizer, but they were too strong. One guard knocked him out and they dragged him away.

Meanwhile in New York City, CLST, Star, Lilo, and Tucker were having dance rehearsal with Reginald's granddaughter Regina, who just dropped out of dance school to take care of him. Reginald was getting too elderly and probably wouldn't have much time left.
"This is Edward 'Eddie' Gilpin," said Cecil. "He was an old college friend of ours at Columbia University."
Not wanting to be involved in any elderly stories, Lec turned on the TV, only to show the news. "And in other news" the reporter said on TV, "Local Princeton student Spencer Gilpin disappeared last night from his dorm. Police say that the main suspects are a bunch of Chinese warriors whom claim to be looking for the Falcon Jewel, a powerful necklace that was once used by Jurgen the Brutal."
"That's my grandson!" exclaimed Eddie.
"What is this Falcon Jewel anyway?" asked Sunny.
Eddie explained, "The Falcon Jewel was a powerful Himalayan jewel that is said to be the source of power of the Kuài jiǎo Village. The elder of the village wears it to help find food for the villagers. Whoever has stolen the jewel must've wanted to make a gluttony mess."
"How do you know all about this?" asked Lec.
Eddie replied, "My father once studied the history of the Kuai Jiao Village."
After thinking about why a bunch of thieves kidnapped Spencer, Star started to leave. Just she was about to each the door, Gus grabbed her hand. "Star," he asked angrily, "do you know anything about this?"
"I did," confessed Star. "Remember when Professor Oberon gave us that crate of Chinese artifacts? Well, I found a beautiful necklace with a falcon on it and I thought I could use it to help the people of Sesame Street. The Backyard Gang was upset because Grover accidentally destroyed Alan's garden, and Adam was afraid that his father would get upset. So I fixed it and made it into a cute way. Unfortunately, the kids overdid it by adding flowers onto Hooper's Store, and I sent it to your friend Spencer so they wouldn't break it on accident. "
"All this so you can help the Backyard Gang?" asked Lilo. "Well, at least you didn't get them in trouble. We gotta get to China and fast."
