The Kids meet up with their contact, and help him deduce that one of the brand new yachts that have just come in has to contain the thief. Butch and Merilee go on board his yacht, while Elvis creates a distraction, and find their sheet music and two models if different ships. That night, during the finale of their concert, which coincidentally contains fireworks, the thieves take advantage of it and use explosives to steal the statue, knowing it can't be heard due to the fireworks!
