Plot[]
One day, the Heelers are playing a game of 'Treasure Hunt' around the house, where Bandit pretends to be a monster guarding some 'Treasure' (actually a bowl of candy), but as they flee from him, Bandit trips on a porch step, causing him to fall down, and roll across the yard before smacking his head into a fencepost. Chilli subsequently calls Triple-O, before Doctor Watterson arrives to check on Bandit. Doctor Watterson then explains that Bandit may not be himself when he wakes up. Shortly after Doctor Watterson leaves, Bandit wakes up, and goes to watch Cricket.
