About this episode
Who keeps leaving leaves inside the detectives' office — with the door shut? Join Bobo & Pim, the woodland detective duo, as they take on a case in their own home in this fun animated mystery for kids!
Milo races in with big news: somebody wants to buy the detectives' office. The only proof is one small leaf on the floor — and in this wood, a leaf left behind means a trade. Bobo says nobody is moving anywhere. But every time he stamps his foot, another leaf drifts down. The door is shut. The windows are shut. So how are the leaves getting in? Bobo, Pim, Milo and Ollie search the office, the back wall and the alley to find out.
