Picture	Segment	Description
	Cold Opening	Nils is leaving for a costume party, dressed as a bear, on his bicycle. Frau Kowalski is convinced that she just witnessed someone stealing Nils' bicycle, so she calls the police.
	Intro
	Scene	Nils passes Samson on the way to the party. Samson notices that there is a bear on Nils' bike. Shortly afterwards, a policeman on a bicycle passes Samson. He hurries over to tell him that he saw the thief go right past him. The policeman introduces himself as Wachtmeister Klose to Frau Kowalski. She proceeds to give him a description of the thief, but all she can say is that it was a bear. Just then Samson arrives, and Klose immediately assumes that Samson is the thief, and starts to interrogate him about his whereabouts. Frau Kowalski quickly tells Klose that Samson lives here and that he is certanly not a bicycle thief. Samson tells Klose that he saw the thief on the bike heading for the woods, but is having trouble describing the thief, other than the fact that it's a bear.
	Scene	Frau Kowalski gets an idea and fetches a small table, paper and crayons. Samson then draws what he saw, and Klose is impressed by the drawing. Klose then tries to help Samson to draw a good face for a bear. Frau Kowalski interrupts the drawing lesson and reminds Klose about the theft. They then hear a bicycle bell close by. Klose gets an idea about how to catch the thief: they will use his bike as bait and put some superglue on the ground next to it, so when the thief attempts to take the bike he will get stuck in the glue.
	Scene	Klose sets up the bike and uses a can of super glue on the pavement. They are in such a hurry to get into hiding that Klose accidentally steps onto the glue and gets stuck. Frau Kowalski tries to pull him loose but slips, and she gets stuck as well. Samson proclaims that he will get the thief on his own. Just as Samson is about to grab the thief, Nils reveals himself to him and tells him that he has been to a costume party. Frau Kowalski is a bit embarrassed about calling the police. Klose is happy that he solved the case. Samson then says that they might have solved the first case, but now there's the case of the super glue that they need to solve.
