Pippi Meets Wanted Criminals
Village: Police Station
At the police station, a large crowd is gathered as the mayor stands alongside Kling and Klang on a stage with a microphone.
"Attention, citizens. It is my misfortune to reveal that two wanted criminals are possibly roaming the area." the mayor said. "They are top-rate criminals known as the Crime Brothers. Until these criminals are apprehended, I recommend that everyone be sure to lock their doors at night."
The audience began to get worried as they hear the mayor's announcement.
"We have identification of these criminals." the mayor said as he brought out a wanted poster. "If you happen to see any of these two, please notify the police. These wanted posters will be spread all over town, so everyone will know what they look like, that is all."
The audience, having listened to the mayor's announcement, left to defend themselves against the criminals.
Unfortunately, it turns out that the Crime Brothers were hiding in an alley and heard the announcement.
"Ha! What a joke!" the elder Crime Brother said.
"Yeah, locking doors won't do any good!" the younger Crime Brother said. "We'll rob 'em blind!"
"Come on, time to go incognito." the elder Crime Brother said. "Be on lookout for any word on the streets."
Village: Marketplace
At the village marketplace, the Crime Brothers are lurking around in beggar disguises as they spy on people.
"So, how's the scouting so far, Don?" the younger Crime Brother asked.
"Nothing so far, keep me informed, Biff." the elder Crime Brother said.
Biff continues to spy on random people, when he sees Pippi and her friends.
Pippi went up to a fruit stand, bought a lot of fruit, and paid with a gold coin.
And as it turns out, Biff saw all this happen and went to tell about it to Don.
"Don! Don! You gotta check this out! It just might be our big chance!" Biff said, and led his brother to where Pippi and her friends were.
Biff adjusted his disguise and approached the kids.
"Greetings, kids." Biff said in a polite tone. "Me and my big brother are terribly poor at the moment, could you perhaps do us poor souls favor and give us a few?"
"Why certainly." Pippi said as she gave Biff two gold coins. "There's plenty more where that came from. Just come by Villa Villekulla if you're in need of more."
"Don, did you hear that?" Biff asked.
"Yeah, she said there's more where that came from. She's our ticket to being rich!" Don said, and the brothers made a greedy, sinister expression.
Village: Villa Villekulla
The Crime Brothers come to visit Villa Villekulla, still in their disguises.
"Now remember, we're only here so we can observe, learn more about our target." Don said.
They enter the living room to see Pippi with some of her gold coins.
"Oh hello." Pippi said. "Did you come because you're in need?"
"Uh, no. We just wanted to check out your house." Biff said, and the Crime Brothers took their leave.
Later that night, the Crime Brothers returned, intending to take Pippi's gold, they looked through the window and saw that Pippi isn't asleep.
"Okay, after she goes to sleep, we go in and steal." Don said.
The Crime Brothers waited for Pippi to go to sleep, but Pippi continued to stay awake.
"Dang, how long can that girl stay awake?" Biff asked.
The Crime Brothers continued to wait, but eventually, the began to get tired and fell asleep.
Back inside Villa Villekulla, Pippi went to sleep sometime after the Crime Brothers fell asleep.
The next morning, the Crime Brothers woke up and realized that they slept through the night.
"Crud! We fell asleep!" Don said.
"That girl must be still sleeping considering how late she stayed up last night!" Biff said.
The Crime Brothers entered Villa Villekulla, and when they passed by the kitchen, they saw that Pippi was making breakfast.
"Oh, hello. Did you come back for a visit?" Pippi asked.
"What, how?" Biff asked. "You were up so late, there's no way you could've woken up so early!"
"I don't know. I just woke up this morning feeling lively as ever." Pippi said. "Would you care to stay for pancakes?"
"Uh no, we must really be going." Don said.
As Don and Biff left Villa Villekulla, a police car drove by, forcing them to hide in the bushes.
Kling and Klang exited the police car and knocked on the front door of Villa Villekulla.
"Yes?" Pippi asked as she opened the door.
"Are you aware that two wanted criminals known as the Crime Brothers are lurking around the village?" Klang asked as he showed a wanted poster of the Crime Brothers.
"Yes, in fact, they look familiar to these two men I came across lately." Pippi said.
"Two men? Where are they now?" Kling asked.
"I'm afraid I didn't see which way they went, but I'll keep you notified if I see them." Pippi said. "I bid you good luck on catching those wanted criminals."
Pippi waved goodbye as Kling and Klang got back into the police car and drove off, and then, it's seen that the Crime Brothers saw all this happen.
"Great! Now that girl will be onto us!" Biff said.
"No problem! We'll just get new disguises, besides I'm already tired of this one." Don said.
The Crime Brothers then saw Pippi come out and feed her pets.
"Hey, I know, those animals just gave me an idea." Biff said.
The next day, the Crime Brothers returned to Villa Villekulla in veterinarian disguises.
They knocked on the door and Pippi opened it.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Pippi asked.
"Yes, we're with the village veterinary clinic, and we came to take your pets to have them vaccinated." Don said, holding a sack and a rope.
"Oh I'm sorry, but I don't think that'll be necessary." Pippi said, and then, Buster came walking around the front yard.
"Ah, don't worry about it, it's free of charge." Biff said as he and Don got closer to Buster.
Pippi sneaked up behind them and threw their gear to the roof of her house.
"Now look what you did!" Don said. "Come on, Biff. Get a ladder."
While the fake veterinarians went to look for a ladder, Pippi went to the back of her house and got up to the roof before they did.
When Don and Biff get up to the roof, they see that Pippi has them and she runs off to a different part of the roof.
The Crime Brothers catch up to Pippi, but she just throws the rope and the sack onto the yard.
The Crime Brothers rush towards the ladder, but Pippi gets down first and await them at where the sack and the rope landed.
"There, you see, wasn't that fun?" Pippi asked.
"Fun? You think that was fun?" Biff asked.
"Alright kid, no more disguises." Don said as he and Biff removed their disguises. "You're handing over your gold to us one way or another."
And then, by coincidence, Kling and Klang arrived at Villa Villekulla.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Crime Brothers." Kling said. "We're just driving by casually, and we just happen see you scumbags at Villa Villekulla."
"You're coming with us." Klang said.
"Says who?" Don asked as he and Biff assaulted the policemen.
Pippi sneaked up behind the criminals and threw them into the air several times, leaving them dizzy, before she dropped them on the ground, and Kling and Klang put handcuffs on the Crime Brothers.
"Congratulations, Officers Kling and Klang. You just caught two wanted criminals." Pippi said.
"Well, we caught them, but you subdued them." Kling said.
"You should come with us to receive credit for your work." Klang said.
Village: Police station
Later at the police station, on the stage, the mayor is making another announcement in front of a crowd.
"Dear citizens, thanks to Pippi and these two policemen, the Crime Brothers have been arrested and they will be sent to prison." the mayor said. "It is because of their heroic efforts that the village can rest in peace once again."
Everyone in the crowd cheered, except for Miss Weiserschmidt.
"Ugh, I can't believe it was that wild child that helped in catching criminals." Miss Weiserschmidt said. "Oh no, what if she decides to become a policewoman?! It will be a disaster!"
Miss Weiserschmidt became worried at that thought and fainted.
"What's wrong with her?" Tommy asked.
"Maybe she thought of something scary?" Annika suggested.
