The Raccoons

Cyril smells conspiracy when the pigs report having overheard a disturbing conversation between the raccoons, about a surprise for Cyril that would "teach him", and involves balloons loaded with gun powder... Feeling his health and wealth threatened, he sends out his spies. Soon after, he's told the raccoons were hiding a secret weapon. He remembers Cedric's friendly relationship with the "traitors", and wants to send him to further investigate, but puts right into his private jail when he finds him in the middle of writing a warning message to them. Fortunately, little Broo manages to escape unnoticed and alert Cedric's friends, who sneak into the house at night. They free him, but in such a noisy manner that Cyril awakens and chases them into the woods on a motorcycle, in the hope they'd lead him to their hiding place, which actually happens. Finally, he reaches them standing around a huge wooden box (which he suspects to be holding the secret weapon), falls into a mad rage and tries

Julie and Tommie, Ranger Dan's kids, are about to spend their first night alone in the woods. Before he leaves them in their tent, Dan tells them about Evergreen mountain, and a mystical being that legends claim to be living up there, watching over the mountain and protecting a dark secret. Ralph and Melissa have a discussion with Bert: they feel he's clinging to them more than he should, and doesn't grant them enough privacy. Bert's deadly insulted, but, at the same time, mightily provoked by their idea that he might be afraid of being alone... so in order to show them, he wants to undertake something truly impressive, all by himself, and decides to climb said mountain. But as soon as Cyril gets wind of Bert's enterprise, he's after him, trying by all means to prevent him from reaching the top. We then learn that the dark secret hidden there belongs to Cyril; an inheritance he hates deeply, but can't destroy due to a promise he gave. He feels he can't allow anyone else to find it, he

Bert and Ralph set off to visit The Fortress, an old "clubhouse" where they used to spend their time when they were young. They take Cedric with them, in order to introduce him into the club, but lose the girls by telling eerie stories about the place they'd go to - ghosts terrorizing unsuspecting campers, and an old spooky house. Soon, they arrive at the Fort, which turns out as a wooden cabin that could break down any minute. Before they can move in, they'll have to spend some time with repairs. They're not aware that Cyril is spending his vacations nearby (as recommended by his doctor), together with the pigs who are to serve him and watch his blood pressure, which rises dangerously when the Raccoons and Cedric start their noisy activities. The pigs are sent to check out the noise. At night, our friends row through a nearby lake, to an island where said house is located. In order to prove himself as a worthy club member, Cedric will have to spend the night in there, alone... At this

Cyril pitches his idea called the "Sneermobile" to Mr. Mammoth. The design sounds simple enough, but when Mammoth begins to have doubts about a solar-powered car being sold, Cyril instantly halts production and gets to work on a menacing new "Sneermobile." When it seems the new car could threaten the very existence of the forest, such as be levelled for land to make a "Sneermobile Factory," Cedric's friends help him salvage the parts and rebuild the car anew. With Bert at the wheel, the car is now dubbed the "Solarcoaster." On the day of the "Sneermobile's" trial run before Mr. Mammoth, our gang brings the Solarcoaster to the race, and pretty soon, Cyril is pulling out all stops to not have his new demonic-looking Sneermobile lose. But still, almost all tricks don't hold up in the end, as the Solarcoaster makes it over the finish line in one piece, while Cyril's car is decimated by being pushed to the limits of it's "Turbo-power." Mr. Mammoth decides that through the trial run, the "So

Tommy and Julie run away after Dan the Forest Ranger loses his temper when they fail to tidy their room. Cedric, too, leaves home when Cyril demands too much work from him. However, he soon outstays his welcome at the Raccoondominium, with Bert, Ralph, and Melissa.

While fishing, Bert finds a treasure map in a boot. They make a ship out of barrels with Cedric and set out to find treasures. In the meantime, the pigs find out about their scheme and tell Cyril Sneer. Cyril, greedy for money, chases them. Bert and Cedric find the treasures, but Cyril shows up and claims possession of the land where they dug up the treasures. But Cedric recollects that Cyril never told him that the land was his, and he and Bert set out in pursuit of Cyril. During the pursuit, Cedric falls in the river and Cyril must choose if he loves Cedric or the treasure more dearly. He chooses Cedric, and the treasure chest is irrevocably lost in the river.

While Cedric shows Ralph the inside of Cyril's new vault, the pigs mistake the two for intruders, and time-lock the vault, sealing Ralph and Cedric in 'til next Groundhog Day. Cyril tries everything he can to get them out, even the promise of a master security key hidden in the vault, but it seems hopeless, until Melissa, Bert, Broo, Sophia, and Schaeffer find out. Pretty soon, Cyril, Bert, Broo, and Melissa are dodging the extra precaution systems as they make their way underground to get to the vault.

Dan the Forest Ranger is offered a job in the city, and has to choose the best life for his children. Ralph is offered the post of Editor of a paper, and makes ready to leave the Forest. However, Cyril Sneer needs putting in his place, and the first issue of the Evergreen Standard is printed. Also Bert gets sick when Ralph and Melissa plan to leave.

Bert uncovers a plot by Cyril to concrete over the Evergreen Forest. Unfortunately, Bert has been doing so much wild speculation and rumour-mongering lately that no-one will believe him.

Rumours abound in the Evergreen Forest about the arrival of the royal family. Berts sets out on a number of arduous tasks with a Knighthood in mind, while Cyrils sees this as the ideal chance to clear his family's name.

There is gold in the Emerald [Evergreen] Forest and Cyril Sneer wants it.
