Ep 3. Wanted Cheddar Alive

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is an animated mystery-comedy television series featuring the popular detective dog, Scooby-Doo. In season 1 episode 3, the gang, consisting of young Freddy, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby, get themselves into another wacky adventure.

The episode is titled "Wanted Cheddar Alive" and begins with the police on the hunt for a dangerous criminal known as the Cheese Monster. Freddy's father is the newspaper editor and sends the gang to cover the Cheese Monster's upcoming trial, hoping for an exclusive scoop. The Cheese Monster is known for his love of cheese and his ability to disguise himself as a giant wheel of the stuff.

Upon arriving at the courthouse, they find that the Cheese Monster has turned himself in and is now locked up behind bars. The trial is set to begin, but the Cheese Monster is nowhere to be found. The police immediately suspect that he has escaped from jail and is still on the loose.

One of the guards reveals to the gang that the Cheese Monster was last seen headed towards the nearby zoo, which just so happens to be hosting a giant cheese festival. Following their lead, the gang rushes to the zoo to investigate. It is here that they encounter the zookeeper, who informs them that the Cheese Monster is not the only danger lurking in the zoo.

The zookeeper has been receiving threatening notes demanding that he hand over the zoo to its rightful owner, a mysterious figure known only by the name of "The Boss". The gang suspects that these two mysteries might be connected and decide to investigate further.

As they make their way through the zoo, they are confronted by various obstacles, ranging from aggressive animals to booby-trapped cheese displays. They also find themselves being stalked by a shadowy figure, who they suspect is the Cheese Monster in disguise.

After much investigation and many close calls, the gang finally discovers that the Cheese Monster has not escaped from jail, but has been hiding in plain sight throughout the zoo. He had disguised himself as various zoo animals and was using his love of cheese as a cover-up for his true identity.

Furthermore, they discover that "The Boss" was none other than the zookeeper himself, who was trying to scare away potential buyers of the zoo so that he could keep it for himself. With both mysteries solved, the gang leaves the zoo in triumph.

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo season 1 episode 3 "Wanted Cheddar Alive" is a thrilling adventure filled with humor, mystery, and lots of cheese. Young viewers will love joining the gang in their quest to solve the case, while older fans will appreciate the nostalgia of the classic Scooby-Doo formula.
