There is Jenny the wise mule, Roger the gourmet dung beetle, Priscilla the theatrical penguin, Slingshot the hyperactive sloth and Bluebell, the shy but brave rat. With little training but a lot of pluck, they set up shop in Whiska City and soon tackle their first mystery: a rash of disappearances linked to a pink poodle's beauty salon.
