| Spoiler warning! Warning! Following text contains plot details and may spoil the storyline. |
Everyone in Gnarly Woods is busy preparing for an upcoming sale to raise funds to repair the basketball court. Milo expresses sadness in the fact he accidentally ate the oatmeal cookies he had planned to sell, while Lily mentions that she is going to try to sell her artwork. It's then Cynthia joins them, claiming that someone just stole her wind chimes. She was cleaning them up for the sale when her cleaning cloth ripped, so she went inside to get a new one and when she returned, they were gone.
As Alfred happens to notice an odd pair of prints nearby, they are joined by Victor and a few other residents who also report missing items. With that in mind the trio begin to investigate- or at least they would, when Alfred notices the Detectaberry is out of power and can't help them right now. Lilly offers to get his charger for him, but he isn't sure she's up for a task like this, resulting her accusing him of not having any trust in her. He tries to explain his reasons but eventually relents, although he asks Camille to follow her. She agrees and takes off shortly after.
Lily arrives to Hedgequarters and locates the hidden key Alfred has. She unlocks the door and finds the charger, but when she prepares to leave she gets startled hearing the door shut behind her and drops it. She becomes frightened when she turns to find a big red eye staring at her and she bumps into the bookshelf behind her. Camille arrives shortly after to find the door locked and the key now missing, and she starts to panic after Lily yells out for her. Camille assures her everything will be fine and runs back to get help. She finds Alfred with Milo and Cynthia at Victor's place, trying to determine what items of his went missing. She fills them in on what happened and everyone runs back to Hedgequarters.
Alfred attempts to break the door open by throwing himself against it but this does nothing. Everyone is anxious and they start to bicker trying to keep themselves -and Lily- calm, but she's perfectly fine. She then recalls that she can just climb the tree to get back outside and rejoins the others, causing them to express relief. They return inside using the same route to review what they have thus far. Milo believes that the thief has only been stealing metal objects, but Alfred points out that he saw plenty of metal objects that weren't stolen. But he thinks he is on the right track, because the items the thief steals do have things in common: they are shiny.
With that in mind, they try to figure out who could be responsible for taking shiny objects until Lilly recalls seeing a big red eye. She draws a picture of it, and they begin to look through various directories to determine what animal or person they know matches up with it. The only one they can find is J.J.
They pay the raccoon a visit to find several, missing, shiny objects that he has begun to decorate with. He gets confronted and J.J, tries to explain that he didn't mean to make everyone upset, he just really loves shiny things and can't help himself. He feels remorse for what he did and promises to return everything, going on to ask if he can do something to make it up to them.
After the sale, Mr. Thomas announces that they have raised enough funds to rebuild the basketball court. Everyone is really happy as Alfred goes on to observe J.J. happily shining Cynthia's wind chimes. She is very frustrated as they were the only item not to sell.

Goofs[]
- Lily goes to get the charger at the Hedgequarters because Alfred's Detectaberry's battery is out of power. But when he finds the second clue (the missing tin foil) he is shown using it to take a picture and the battery appears to be almost full.
- When Cynthia runs to the detectives and passes out her beak is the wrong color.
- Also note that right before that, her neck marking is white, not tan.
- Cynthia's wind chimes' coloring changes throughout the episode.
- As J.J. shines Cynthia's wind chimes, the clock behind him is missing its hands.
- The mole girl and fox girl are at different heights than usual in this episode.
- Lilly's drawing was not accurately depicting what she saw, the only correct thing was the red eye itself.
- As wind chimes make a lot of sound when nudged, moved or bumped, someone should have heard them when J.J. took them.
- During the credits, Milo states that raccoons are part of the rodent family which includes mice, rats, groundhogs, beavers, etc. This is incorrect, raccoons belong to the Procyonidae family which also includes coatis, ringtails, olingos, kinkajous, olinguitos, and cacomistles.
