Laura and Andy become detectives to solve a series of burglaries in Walnut Grove. After an incident at the Oleson's, Charles becomes very angry with his daughter. However, things get worse when Laura sets some traps to catch the culprit, but winds up catching Charles instead (at one point, causing him to be doused with green paint). It is soon revealed that a boy named Timothy Ferrel was the creeper all along.
