The Great Sock Mystery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Great Sock Mystery is an episode of the children's television show Arthur. The sock mystery starts when Dora Winifred Read has lost a red and purple striped sock. Jane Read has no other choice but to look for the missing sock. When no one can find the sock, Kate and Pal go on the case. They interrogate Nemo (Francine's cat) and Toady (the toad that DW let loose). Pal and Kate discover that Amigo had been stealing socks from their house. Amigo takes Pal to the sock exchange to play "The Sock Market" (a parody of the Stock Market)... When they go to the sock exchange a parody of Alan Greenspan (Alan Greenspaniel) is introduced and gives Amigo and Pal a boring explanation on the purpose of the sock market. Alan Greenspaniel also wears large, half-rimmed glasses. After many attempts, Pal is unable to retrieve D.W.'s sock. Suddenly, Amigo has news that someone has something for the sock. A buissness man frog then appears asking for the sock in exchange for Pal. At the last second, Toady saves the day when the two frogs recognize each other and go off to talk. Pal then takes the sock and the conflict is resolved.
