“Press Your Lucky”
One day on Dearly Farm, Lucky, Rolly, Cadpig and Spot were in the barn watching Thunderbolt on TV. Soon, it came to a commercial break.
"Thunderbolt P.I. will return after these messages," said the announcer on TV.
Just then a commercial came on for a new show airing on another channel. It was a game show, and it was hosted by Cruella De Vil. The show was called "Game Show De Vil".
"A new game show?" Lucky said. "Sounds kinda cool. I'd like to check it out."
"You sure you wanna do that, Lucky?" asked Spot. "It's being run by Cruella, and you know whenever she does something like this, she's usually up to no good."
"The chicken does have a good point," said Cadpig. "Knowing that non-do-gooder who has an ego the size of Saturn, I wouldn't put my trust in it."
"Now that you mention it," said Lucky, "Cruella might be up to something. We'd better go check it out."
"You always gotta go looking for trouble, don't you?" Rolly sighed.
"We don't want to risk losing the farm, do we?" asked Lucky.
"Lucky's right," said Cadpig. "We've got to prioritize."
"Come on," said Lucky. "Let's head over to Villa De Vil and see if Cruella's up to something."
The pups walked over to Villa De Vil. They stayed outside a room where Cruella was with Horace and Jasper. They listened in to see if they could hear anything.
"Listen here, boys," said Cruella. "I'm going to make sure no one wins my game show."
"But Miss De Vil," said Horace, "Isn't that kind of rigged?"
"Yeah," said Jasper. "Think of the ratings and complaints."
Cruella continued, "I will give the contestants questions that only I would know the answers to. If I keep the extra funding, I'll be able to buy off the Dearly Farm and tear it down!"
The pups all gasped in shock.
"Why that no-good, double-crossing sack of shirts!" Cadpig growled.
"I knew she was up to no good!" said Lucky.
"When did you ever doubt that?" asked Spot unamused.
"So what are we going to do about this?" asked Rolly.
"Cruella's show doesn't debut until Monday," said Lucky. "When that day comes, we're going to take a trip down to her studio."
The rest smiled knowing that Lucky had a heck of a plan on his mind, and they had faith that it was going to work this time.
Soon, it was Monday. The pups arrived backstage and saw Cruella walk inside with Horace and Jasper.
"Now remember your jobs," said Cruella. "Make sure nobody wins."
Horace and Jasper saluted.
"Yes, ma'am," said Horace.
"You can count on us, Miss De Vil," said Jasper.
Cruella pulled out her Memomaster and recorded into it: "Memo to myself: Find the dumbest people to get on my show and humiliate them even more!"
As she walked inside, the pups came out of their hiding place.
"Well, she certainly has kept her promise since the other day," said Spot.
"We gotta expose her and turn the tables on her," said Lucky.
"How are we gonna do it?" asked Rolly.
"I presume you have a plan," said Cadpig.
"I do, and I've been thinking about it all week," said Lucky. "Now, here's the plan: Rolly, Cadpig and I will disguise ourselves as a contestant to be on Cruella's show. Spot, you will go backstage and do some alterations to make sure that we win."
"Now that sounds like my kind of plan!" said Spot. "I'm just glad you're not using me as live bait or anything."
"Okay, guys," Lucky said to Rolly and Cadpig. "Let's get dressed."
The pups looked around and saw a trench coat and fedora. The trio stacked up on each other's shoulders and put the coat on. Lucky was on top, Cadpig was in the middle, and Rolly was on the bottom. As soon as they buttoned up the coat, Lucky put the hat on.
"Okay, guys," said Lucky. "Let's go expose Cruella."
Rolly walked inside the building. The pups wobbled a bit but managed to make it inside. They walked right up to Jasper who was signing people up to be on the show.
"Hello," said Jasper. "Signing up to be on the show? What is your name?"
Lucky responded, "My name is, uhh...Lucaro."
"Lucaro?" Jasper blinked. "Huh. Unusual name. Must be Latino." Jasper signed them up and said. "Okay, you'll head down to door #A113."
"Thank you," said Lucky as Rolly started walking in that direction.
"Alright! It worked!" said Lucky once they were away from Jasper.
Cadpig poked her head out of the coat and said, "Good score on this, Lucky!"
"We're gonna get an even better score later," said Lucky.
Rolly peeked out and said, "I hope Spot can make this plan work for us."
Rolly and Cadpig hid back in the coat as they entered the room. Soon, they were called up to the podium along with three other contestants. Before long, the show started. Music started up, and lights started flashing.
"It's time for Game Show De Vil!" said the announcer. "And here's your host...Cruella De Vil!"
The audience applauded as Cruella came out and waved at the audience. She stepped up to the podium.
"Thank you so much, and welcome to Game Show De Vil," she said. "Let me introduce you to our contestants for this evening: Saul, Tibbia and Lucaro. Normally, I would interview each one, but I don't have that kind of time right now. Let's get started."
The pups got ready.
"Question #1," said Cruella. "The Taj Mahal was constructed as a tomb of the wife of which Mughal Emperor?"
Everyone paused. A buzzer sounded off.
"Time's up!" said Cruella. "The correct answer was Shah Jahan. Next question: What was the name of Henry VIII's first wife?
Everyone paused. A buzzer sounded off.
"Time's up!" said Cruella. "The correct answer was Catherine of Aragon. Next question. In what year was Joan of Arc burned at the stake?"
Everyone paused. A buzzer sounded off.
"Time's up!" said Cruella. "The correct answer was 1431! This doesn't seem to be anyone's lucky day."
"These questions are hard," whispered Rolly.
"So that's how Cruella is going to make sure nobody wins," said Cadpig.
"Don't worry, guys," said Lucky. "I'm sure Spot will do something to fix this."
Meanwhile, backstage, Spot could see Horace at a computer typing up all the questions for Cruella to read. Thinking quickly, she picked up a large fish prop and bonked Horace on the head knocking him unconcious. Once he was down, she got on the computer and started typing up some other questions.
Back on stage, Cruella read the next question: "What is the name of the outlaw that Thunderbolt stops on a regular basis?"
"Ooh! I know this!" said Lucky as he buzzed in. "Dirty Dawson!"
Cruella gasped. "Uhh...That's correct!" she said wondering how that happened, but she continued. "What is the safe internal cooking temperature for beef?"
"I know this, Lucky," Rolly whispered. "It's 145 degrees farenheit."
Lucky buzzed in and said, "145 degrees farenheit!"
"My goodness," said Cruella trying not to reveal her true colors. "Lucaro seems to be the comeback kid. Anyway, next question: What is the spiritual principle of cause and effect."
"It's karma, Lucky," whispered Cadpig.
Lucky buzzed in and said, "Karma!"
"Correct again," said Cruella.
"Speaking of karma, it looks like Cruella's getting plenty of that now," Cadpig said to herself.
Cruella moved on to the next question: "Of the seven dog groups, what does the Dalmatian belong to?"
Lucky buzzed in and said, "Non-Sporting."
Cruella was starting to get annoyed, but she carried on to the next question: "It is believed that chickens were evolved from what prehistoric animal?"
Lucky remembered this was something Spot told him about not too long ago. He buzzed in and said, "Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
Lucky continued to get the rest of the questions right. Horace and Jasper even applauded "Lucaro" for doing so well. Cruella was beyond annoyed, but she knew she had to keep her cool to maintain her reputation.
"Well, it looks like Lucaro will be going on to the final round," said Cruella. "Congratulations".
Cruella then brought Lucaro to the final round, which was an obstacle course.
"This is the final round," said Cruella. "In this obstacle course, you will run from one end to the stage wearing high heels, throw this sun hat as far as you can, and weave through these dress model stands using a large spool of fabric. Finish this all in under one minute, and you shall be rewarded with $10,000. On your mark...Get set...Go!"
Rolly stepped into the high heels and tried to walk. It was very difficult for him. The pups almost fell, but Spot activated some switches, which helped them stay up. Though, she accidentally hit a button which dumped molasses onto Cruella. At the hat toss, Lucky deliberately threw the hat at Cruella's face, which he succeeded thanks to his practice at throwing his collar the same way. Finally, at the fabric-wrapping challenge, the pups wrapped all the dress model stands, and then kicked them to roll backwards into Cruella wrapping her up in them.
"Stop the game!" Cruella yelled. She then got up. "I have never been so humiliated in all my life!"
Little did she know, Spot also managed to grab her Memomaster. She brought it up to the announcer's microphone and played back Cruella's scheme for everyone in the studio to hear. Everyone who heard it was shocked and outraged. Cruella was in shock herself over what had just happened.
"Who is responsible for all this?" she asked enraged.
"Lucaro" stepped up to Cruella. The pups threw off their disguise revealing it was them all along each with a smug on their face.
"The Dearly Mutts! I should have known!" said Cruella. "That's it! My show is canceled!"
The pups disassembled and high-fived each other. They ran out of the studio with Spot joining them.
The next day, the pups were back home and were watching the news report about Cruella's game show getting canceled after the disaster it turned out to be.
"Well, it looks like Cruella has learned her lesson once again," said Spot.
"Another mission accomplished," said Cadpig.
"Our farm is safe once again," said Rolly.
"She'll never learn," said Lucky. "As long as we're together and working as a team, Dearly Farm will always be what it is."
