Pongo, Perdita, and their 99 Dalmatian puppies are back in another exciting episode of 101 Dalmatians: The Series! In season 1 episode 35, "The Maltese Chicken," the pups find themselves embroiled in a mystery when a rare and valuable chicken goes missing from the local farm.
The episode begins with the Dearly family and their canine companions enjoying a lazy day in the sun. However, their peace is soon shattered when Cruella De Vil shows up with a request for help. Apparently, her prized Maltese chicken has gone missing, and she believes the Dalmatians are responsible.
Of course, Pongo and Perdita know that their puppies would never steal anything, but they agree to investigate the disappearance of the chicken nonetheless. As they begin their investigation, they meet a cast of quirky characters, including the farmer who owned the chicken, his clumsy son, and a group of suspicious-looking crows.
Throughout the episode, the Dalmatians use their detective skills to gather clues and piece together what happened to the missing bird. They follow footprints, search for hidden clues, and even use their noses to sniff out potential suspects. However, every lead seems to lead to a dead end, leaving the Dalmatians frustrated and no closer to solving the mystery.
Just when it seems like all hope is lost, the Dalmatians stumble upon a surprising clue - a feather from the missing bird. With this new evidence in hand, they are able to figure out the true culprit behind the chicken's disappearance. As they bring the thief to justice, they discover that the chicken was never really stolen - she had simply run away on her own. With the mystery solved, the Dalmatians return the bird to her rightful owner and go home, tired but happy from their successful detective work.
