Episode List

S1 • E1

De snorrenbende

The brother Robert, Albert and Philibert travel around in countless disguising including mustaches. They steal watches by switching them with cheap fakes and sell them as real ones to the public.

S1 • E2

Het olijf-misdrijf

Several villagers report being robbed after eating a pizza delivered by Mario's. The olives were drugged by fake deliverers Tony and Tina, so tracing the tranquilizer proves difficult as it's injected outside the pizzeria. Because the takings are beneath expectation, they decide to appeal to a chiquer clientèle by offering custom-made recipes with free wine.

S1 • E3

De valse dokter

The commissioner proudly tells the press his precinct will guard most-wanted 'Raging' Ricardo de Razende for four days, each cop in turn. Ricardo's crafty accomplice 'Sly' Serafino de Sluwe impersonates doctor Van Tichelt. During a medical, he tells Toby he needs an ear aid and fits him with what's actually a remote mind control. Now Toby must steal the key and free Ricardo, without knowing it.

S1 • E4

De stemmenmicrofoon

Grandpa invented a microphone which allows the user to imitate a chosen voice. When young Bert De Nert hears it being used, he wants one and tells his ma Lutgarde, who grudgingly became the precinct's interim cleaner. She encourages him to steal, but not just as a singing toy. She orders expensive luxuries as the commissioner, with Bertje as naive accomplice, supposedly the commissioner's (actually inexistent) kid cousin to collect 'Migrain's orders'. Next victim is the baron.

S1 • E5

Wonderhaar

Crook Willem makes his twin sons (one bald) switch places to 'demonstrate' his fake 'miraculous' hair growing potion. It sells well, even to granny and the commissioner's mother for their balding men. In fact it's poisonous fertilizer solution, which instantly causes an ugly rash. The commissioner, who cares only for an impending 'best police commander' jury inspection, blames granny's biscuits, so all confiscated along with the sweets.

S1 • E6

Winkeldieven

Peter complains his mini-market is being robbed. Indeed, cashier Annie isn't scanning the luxury products 'sold' to the crook brothers Robby and Ronny, but only because she's being blackmailed with a hidden bomb. Commissioner Migrain eagerly arrests her, to show off to a TV crew which records his working day. Luckily, grandpa's 'wasp camera' invention allows discovering the truth, and putting Toby in the hero spotlight more deservedly.

S1 • E7

Paardenrace

The klutzy commissioner orders Toby to race his horse in the regional derby. Alas he gives the poor puppy only a few badly spent hours of incompetent training on the very day of the race. However crook Verdraff is fixing the race anyway, by injecting a muscle-relaxing drug into all race horses except the worst nag.

S1 • E8

Cash in de carwash

The commissioner has bought mountain-bikes for himself and Tony and worries only about presenting this ecologic innovation to the press. Meanwhile the town's scout troop is innocently accused of making cars more dirty during their annual benefit car-wash. The real culprit is Kevin, from the professional car wash, which is racketeered by arsonist Bob.

S1 • E9

De pinguïnjas

Mieke is disappointed not to be invited to the baron's annual ball, unlike Toby, who wants to ask Mega Mindy, and the commissioner who asks his old flame, zoo owner Esmeralda, when she reports at the precinct the theft of all penguins, indeed the work of vain rich man Ysbrand Deltuit, who wants a tailor in debt to make an eye-catching coat out of their skins. Migraine claims nobody would steal a penguin, so he blames the keeper for 'letting them escape' and commandeers poor Toby to help look for them all over and around the zoo grounds, using salmon as -unfit- bait. Meanwhile grandpa hands Mieke a useful invention, which makes animal speech intelligible...

S1 • E10

De groene ratten

A man calling himself "the health minister's assistant" tells the commissioner to look out for extremely dangerous green rats, and gives him the number of a specialized firm to call if any are spotted. Even when mother Migrain moves into the precinct scared to death because of green rats in their home, the fatso wants the credit of solving the disaster for himself, so Toby and Mieke are sent to do the dirty work while he sneaks off to buy more sweets, despite his diet which ma will now be able to supervise more closely. The crook who masquerades as official calls to check up on rat reports, and decides more incentives are needed...

S1 • E11

De foute goochelaar

When the great magician Maldini arrives in town, Mieke looks forward to going together with Toby, who accepts, but her beau stands her up with a flat tire. The magician and his assistant, midget Picolini, actually steal from their well-dressed volunteers, but when that evening's lady finds out she accuses the innocent, stuttering red-hair hat-check Japie, whom Migrain presumes to be guilty gives he was once questioned in another theft case, and arrests after a stolen bracelet is hidden in his own bag. Granddad's computer Bliep however identifies Maldini as formerly convicted magician Baroni, another audience-robber years earlier, and his worst trick.

S1 • E12

Het Egyptische masker

The commissioner has volunteered the police cells as safest place to exhibit an Egyptian princess's death mask. He promised to insure security 'personally', but instead of guarding with his constables hired two private security guards, Fred and Remco, who even cross-dresses as a girl, so as to distract the commissioner completely. But those are in fact criminal impostors who kidnapped the professionals. Grandpa's latest invention, an object dating device, allows discovering the switch with a fake.

S1 • E13

De kerkgangster

A crook locks the parish priest up and pretends yo be his replacement in order to steal the precious chalice. However the key is kept by Migrain's bossy mother, Marie. So 'reverend Verkerken' stages a statue theft to discredit her.
