Ep 1. To Salve and Not to Salve / A Yard Too Far

The Ren & Stimpy Show season 3 episode 1, titled "To Salve and Not to Salve / A Yard Too Far," features two unique stories that bring the hilarious Duo into new and exciting situations.

In the first story, "To Salve and Not to Salve," Ren and Stimpy are sent on a mission to retrieve a mysterious "salve" from a far-off jungle. The duo embarks on a dangerous journey through the jungle, encountering obstacles and dangers along the way. Ren, the more serious of the two, is intent on completing their mission and returning the salve safely to their employer. Stimpy, on the other hand, is more interested in the journey itself, taking time to stop and enjoy their surroundings. Their differing attitudes lead to an entertaining duo as they together navigate through the jungle's many obstacles and strange creatures.

The second story, "A Yard Too Far," shows Ren and Stimpy as two competing neighbors who are determined to have the best front yard on the block.
