Screwy Squirrel escapes from the nut house and leads the guard dog on a long and ridiculous chase.

The truant officer is after Screwy Squirrel for not going to school.

When a young woman's skeletal remains turn up on a Massachusetts beach, Barnstable cop Peter Moralas teams with Boston police and uses forensics, with the help of a Harvard professor, to determine the woman's identity, how she died, and who killed her.

Screwy Squirrel is bought in a pet shop to be the companion of a daft dog so strong that he squeezes his playmates to death.
