Throughout the round, there are various comedic sketches with clues about where that episode's thief is hiding, including from various animated characters, Rockapella, characters portrayed by Greg Lee, or celebrities such as Rhea Perlman, Leslie Nielson, Senator (now President) Joe Biden, and on one memorable occasion, Greg Lee's own mother (which he hadn't been informed of beforehand) clues were also given by characters from other PBS shows such as ZOOM and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (conversely, the Chief appeared in an episode of The Puzzle Place). Afterward, the three contestants are brought into the ACME Detective Agency and are introduced by Greg Lee, ACME agent in charge of training new recruits.Įach contestants begins with 50 ACME crime bucks. More often than not, these crimes defied logic, with crooks managing to single-handedly steal objects that no person could realistically carry around the world among the more ludicrous thefts included entire roads, railroads, buildings, populations of people, cities, the Earth's core (which somehow didn't result in mass destruction), even abstract concepts such as the Portuguese language, while the more mundane, realistic thefts included a fighter jet, populations of animals, and the Hope Diamond.
The show began with the Chief (played by Lynne Thigpen) describing the crime including what was stolen, where the crime took place, and which crook was involved.
