As Arthur and Buster ride their bikes out of the park, they get startled by the sight of a man dressed in a camouflage suit up in a tree. They all scream, causing the man to fall to the ground. They quickly rush home to Arthur's house, where they try to figure out what they saw. Buster is 100% sure it's a tiger hunter, and that the park has tigers in it. But Arthur is sure there is another explanation. The phone rings and a voice, Mr. Deep Float, tells the boys to meet him at the Ice Cream Shop because he has special information about the tigers. | As Arthur and Buster ride their bikes out of the park, they get startled by the sight of a man dressed in a camouflage suit up in a tree.

He sits down and tells them all about the tigers, wowing Arthur and Buster. Mrs. Powers then appears, and accidentally blows the person's cover, calling him Alan. Arthur and Buster reply with “Alan?”, realizing that the mystery person is Brain. Brain then takes off the ski mask and says that he asked her not to blow his cover. Mrs. Powers replies with “Oh, no. I forgot.” Brain admits he started the “tigers in the park” rumor as an experiment, just to see who would believe a completely false story; Mrs. Powers scolds him, saying that what he did wasn't very nice. When Buster adds that Brain even hired an actor to pose as a tiger hunter and says “Wow”, a puzzled Brain asks “Tiger hunter? What tiger hunter?” (thus implying he doesn't know what Buster is talking about). Arthur then explains that there was a guy in the park with a trap and asks “You didn’t...?” Brain is equally puzzled right before Arthur and Buster exchange looks. | ||

The ranger tells a TV news channel that the owners should pick up the rather noisy dogs, and denies the tiger story was ever true — finally putting the rumor to rest. | ||
