Egbert #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeEgbert and Picklfoot attempt to catch a crook hiding in a safe, leading to a physical confrontation that goes awry. Later, Egbert gets into trouble in a park when he repeatedly violates a "Keep Off the Grass" sign while chasing a baseball, encountering an angry officer. In another sequence, Egbert and Beanie become caught in the mechanisms of an industrial intake, wrapping, and packaging machine, with Mr. Bindle getting kidnapped and processed through the equipment before Egbert and Beanie manage to rescue him.
When Egbert reads about the Barnyard Bandit's escape in the newspaper, he gets an unwelcome shock—a chicken named Fricka Zee who looks exactly like him! The Count sees dollar signs in that resemblance and hatches a scheme to claim the reward, but things spiral into chaos when Fricka Zee shows up in person and the case lands in Sheriff Snort's hands. In the hilarious confusion that follows, no one—least of all Egbert—can figure out who's actually who or what happened to whom.
Egbert gets roped into helping The Count photograph the rare Vilthy Vulture for a photo contest that promises a trip around the world—if only The Count would listen to what Egbert's been trying to tell him the whole time. What starts as an ambitious expedition quickly spirals into slapstick chaos involving broken eggs, an angry vulture, and a swarm of bees, with our overconfident photographer in Ernie Hart's 1947 tale of misplaced confidence and forgetfulness.
