Ep 21. Down Under Plunder

Emily and Alexander arrive in New Zealand on a very historic day. It is the day women will discover if they have been given the right to vote! Their cousin Amanda has worked long and hard to make it happen, but it is up to a vote in the House of Parliament. Her friend Kim's mother, Kate Sheppard, and the other women wait nervously for the results only to hear that the vote is tied! There will be another vote the following day. Kim and the mice have 24 hours to find someone to break the tie. Amanda remembers that Maori chiefs are allowed to vote and the quartet heads off into the jungle to somehow convince one to vote for their cause. When Kim bravely saves the Chief Kupe's son Tiki from the side of a volcano, the chief comes to understand that women deserve to get the right to vote. In the nick of time, the chief casts his vote and the tie is broken: New Zealand women are the first in the world to get the right to vote! Back in New York, Emily and Alexander must now fight to get women the right to vote in the United States- a battle that could take... years!
