The episode begins with a plate full of brownies which [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] and [[Thora Read|Grandma Thora]] have made. One of the brownies appears to have been eaten, and D.W. plays detective to find out who. She suspects [[Arthur Read|Arthur]], but he claims he's innocent by telling her that he just got back from the dentist, and has no interest in eating sweets for the rest of the day. D.W. looks all around the house and outside, when she finally discovers [[Pal]] eating the brownie crumbs off the living room floor. She demands Pal to tell her why he ate the brownie when [[David Read|Mr. Read]], who is reading the newspaper and munching on a brownie, asks her what she's doing. D.W. then realizes it was her own father that ate the brownie and runs out of the room. Arthur questions that it's just a brownie, right? | The episode begins with a plate full of brownies which [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] and [[Thora Read|Grandma Thora]] have made.
