Spoiler warning!
Warning! Following text contains plot details and may spoil the storyline.

Alfred and Cynthia are in the middle of an endurance race when Alfred takes the lead. He suddenly falls down on the ladder they were approaching, and Cynthia reaches the top. After taking a moment to gloat, she suddenly falls through the floor. She seems fine, but frustrated as Mr. Russard comes over to check on them and make sure everything is okay. Cynthia feigns injury and the trio are quick to see her deception, but Mr. Russard doesn't want to take chances and offers to take her to the nurse.

Concerned over the obstacle course and its safety, the trio decide to do some investigation. Cynthia is convinced that someone is out to get her though. They start by inspecting the wood and notice that while it seems slightly rotten, its condition seems good. It's falling apart like sawdust though, and it feels spongy. Mr. Russard points out that he got it from Grizz's sawmill, so they head over there to talk to him. Unfortunately for the young Detectives, Cynthia decides to tag along.

The foursome arrive to find Grizz cutting wood and they ask him where it came from. He explains that Clara let him take the wood, and he points out that Cynthia is sitting on one of the pieces given to him. She panics realizing she put her hand right in a pile of moss and Alfred wastes no time collecting the sample. Cynthia whines but the trio chose to ignore her when they begin to hear music. They make their way to Clara's and ask if she was the one playing it. She gives a vague response and Alfred asks to look at the trees she used to give the wood to Grizz. She agrees and she prepares some snacks for them in the mean time as Alfred goes on to look, but once they see the food they come up with reasons to join him- except for Milo, who struggled to think up a plausible excuse.

Alfred is examining the trees and sights when he determines where the sound is coming from. He rushes to the location with Camille but find nothing, until Camille grabs Cynthia's cane she was using to support herself and starts shoving it into the holes on the tree. Doing so causes the sound they heard to change. This proves the trees are causing the whistling sound they heard.

With that, they return to Hedgequarters for a clue review, then they return to Clara to check some things out. Camille spots something on the ground, and Alfred deduces that it is a termite mound. The wood is alright, but termites were attacking them, which is why they became so brittle. The gunky residue was really a digestive bi-product they leave behind. When Cynthia groans in disgust, Milo teases her.

Later, Grizz is shown gathering the old materials they used for the obstacle course. He's going to take it back and they will hold a new race. But an incident occurs with Milo and they are unable to finish, once again. But this time everyone laughs.
