Case 1: Boulevard to Mayhem 1 Boulevard to Mayhem


Miss Mallard, the world-famous ducktective, and her nephew, Willard Widgeon, were vacationing in Hollywood. They headed for a theater on Hollywood Boulevard where stars often gathered.

At the theater, they met Mia Pintail, a movie star who was having her footprints and signature put into cement on the famous Walk of the Stars.

Mia invited them to visit the set of her latest movie, Ducklings and Dinosaurs. The movie was being filmed at a tar pit where dinosaur bones were once discovered.

Strange things began happening on the set, such as a camera on a track nearly hitting Mia, and her trailer nearly rolling into the pit.
