==Plot==
[[David Read|Mr. Read]] comes into the living room to find that his cake plate has been chipped. He is very upset about this, and wonders how it happened. [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] shows Mr. Read a tape that she has just filmed of Arthur and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] getting ready to go outside, and Arthur holding a baseball and saying, "Hey Buster, let's play ball. Here, catch." He throws it, and in the background, the cake plate gets hit, but is unseen.

Arthur and Buster swear that they didn't chip the plate, but Mr. Read doesn't believe them, and says that when he gets home from work that he's going to have a serious talk with them. In an effort to prove it wasn't them who chipped the plate, Buster and Arthur act as detectives, with [[Alan Powers|The Brain]] acting as their scientist, and [[Fern Walters|Fern]] acting as their adviser.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This is one of the few episodes where Jane or David say they are disappointed in Arthur. The other episodes are "Arthur the Wrecker," "Arthur's Treasure Hunt" and "Nerves of Steal."
*[[Buster Baxter|Buster]] claimed he didn't know about sleuthing, but he has been a detective before. Episodes include [[Binky Rules (episode)|Binky Rules]] and [[Arthur Accused! (episode)|Arthur Accused!]]
*This episode's plot is very similar to "Arthur Accused!" In both episodes, Arthur is blamed for something he did not do, because it looks exactly like he did it, and Buster tries to clear his name. One main difference is that in "Arthur Accused!" it was only Buster clearing the name, while in this episode, Arthur, Brain and Fern join him.
*Every time the time cards are spoken by Buster, a clunk sound from the manhole is heard.
*'''Timeline:''' This episode is set between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM, according to the time cards.
*'''Moral:''' Don't blame others for your own benefits.
===Cultural references===
===Cultural references===
*The episode title is a parody of the TV show ''[[Wikipedia:Law and Order|Law and Order]]''. The time cards (spoken by Buster) are similar to the ones in the ''Law and Order'' franchise. Instead of the famous "dun dun" sound, the clunk sound from the manhole cover is heard.
*The episode title is a parody of the T.V. show [[Wikipedia:Law and Order|Law and Order]].
 
*'''Fern quotes {{w|Sherlock Holmes}} several times:'''
** “The world is full of obvious things which nobody by chance ever observes. {{W|The Hound of the Baskervilles}}, Chapter 3. It means that evidence is often plain to see, people just don't notice it.
** “There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you.” Baskervilles, Chapter 5.
** "When every possibility is explored, whatever remains, no matter how unlikely, must be the truth." Several variations of this sentence are found in various Holmes stories.

*The closeup of the inscription on the watch appears for a split second before the shot changes.

*During lunch Buster claims that Mrs. Read put the plate on the piano. In fact she put it on a table next to the piano.
*Buster claimed he didn't know about sleuthing, but he has been a detective before. Episodes include "[[Binky Rules]]" and "[[Arthur Accused! (episode)|Arthur Accused]]."

===Production notes===
* [[Ms. Persky|Ms. Perske]] has the same voice as the storyteller on ''Caillou.'' Both series were produced by [[Cookie Jar Entertainment]].
