Tales from Cottonwood Trails

Episodes
When Morton and Frank (AKA "Sheerluck Homes" and "The Doctor") are asked by Winnifred to investigate why Alice has been so rude to her, they discover that the root of the issue lies in a story that's been told to Alice. But they soon realise that there's something not quite right about this story! And the more they investigate, the more ridiculous things get!
Once again, the gang find themselves sitting round a campfire in Autumn telling stories - only this time, they're joined by Rob, who tells a story of his own - one that doesn't go down too well with Oz, Rosie, and Morton!
