Case Closed

During the opening theme a man leaves a party looking extremely nervous. He enters a dark room and locks the door as a man sneaks out the window of a neighboring room and leaps to the balcony of the man's room. A gun is raised to the man's chest and fired. The people at the party rush to the room and break down the door to find his body. Later, all the guests are gathered in a ballroom. Several policemen stand in front of the fireplace. One is dressed in a tan overcoat with a large mustache on his face. One man in a wheelchair with a cast on his leg is confronting the policemen about their investigation. He protests that his guests are tired and his investigation is going no where. "Are you implying that the murderer is one of my guests?" he asks. "Who else?" says Jimmy Kudo, a teenage detective, as he walks into the room. He begins to explain how the man, whose name is Mr. Yamazaki, was murdered. He easily explains away every challenge the man in the wheelchair throws at him. He ends by pointing out the killer as being the man in the wheelchair himself. He laughs as he says that there's no way he the "acrobat." Jimmy looks away as he nonchalantly states his catch phrase, "Only one truth prevails." He picks up a globe of the mantle and hurls it at the man who, despite his cast is able to easily dodge the globe. Proving his leg isn't broken and he could easily make the jump. Outside the mansion, the inspector (Maguire) congratulates Jimmy on solving another case. The next day, Jimmy is lying in a room of his own mansion when he is suddenly awakened by the sound of an explosion. He looks out the window to see a large hole in the side of a small house on the mansion grounds. A middle-aged man wearing a lab coat and a large mustache climbs out of the rubble. He has a jetpack-like device strapped to his back. His name is Dr. Agasa. Jimmy opens the window and asks the doctor what's going on. Inside the study, Doctor Agasa is marveling at the thousands of books covering the walls. Inside the office of a private detective across town, the man, named Richard Moore, is screaming profanities as he punches the picture of Jimmy Kudo in the newspaper. His daughter, Rachel walks in and tells him to stop. Richard is upset that he is getting no work because of this "cocky kid with a lucky streak." Back outside, three small kids are watching a news report about Jimmy. They're all talking about how cool he is. Jimmy walks by behind them looking very proud of himself. Down the road further a few teen girls are talking about their crush on him. One girl wants to write and "Ode to Jimmy." Jimmy walks by with the same "sure-of-himself" attitude. Suddenly, a book bag comes out of nowhere and hits him square in the head. He looks and sees Rachel Moore, who happens to be his friend. "Careful, pal, your head's inflating." They talk about his detective work and how he's putter her father out of business. He makes a comment on her father being an awful excuse for a detective. He fist slams into a nearby telephone pole, breaking large chunks off of it. She warns him he'll be next. He marvels at her karate skill. At school, they are still discussing his detective work, he's ranting about Sherlock Holmes. She starts trying to kick him. He's able to dodge but on her last swinging kick, he skirt flies up and drapes over Jimmy's head. This only upsets her more. Once Jimmy walks off to class she calls him back and asks him if he forgot about the next day when he promised to take her to the theme park Tropical Land. At the theme park, they notice there's no line for the Mystery Coaster and decide to go ride it. In line, Jimmy shows off his detective skills by deducing a girl was gymnast just from feeling the blisters on her hand and seeing the bruises on her legs when a gust of wind blew her skirt up. They get on the coaster as Jimmy keeps talking about Holmes when Rachel yells at him for wasting her special day by everything he wants to talk about. He starts to feel really bad when she laughs and says she's not really upset but to please stop the "mystery talk." The coaster rolls up the first hill and then down into a dark tunnel. Suddenly, a drop of water hits Jimmy in the face. There's a sound behind him as they exit the tunnel. Jimmy looks back to see the man sitting behind him is no longer in possession of his head. The police come and Jimmy begins to work his magic as he solves the case again. He explains a fantastic story of how the gymnast woman from before used her prowess to slip a piano wire around the mans neck and drop a grappling hook onto the track letting the sheer speed of the ride do the work. As Jimmy and Rachel walk toward the exit, Jimmy tries to stop Rachel from crying when a shady man in black goes running by. Jimmy tells Rachel he'll catch up with her later and runs off to follow the man because of the suspicious behavior. She tries to follow him but her shoelace breaks so she has to stop. She begins to get a strange feeling that she'll never see him again. Back behind one of the park buildings, the shady man from before walks up to a man holding a suitcase who begins to complain that he's late. The man opens the suitcase to reveal a large amount of money ("A million, at least," Jimmy thinks). The man hands the suitcase over and the shady man in black hands over a roll of film containing pictures of the man's company "smuggling naughty things." The man runs off. Jimmy is about to confront the man in black when another guy in black comes up behind him telling him "enough eavesdropping." He quickly brings a metal pipe down on Jimmy's head, knocking him out. As he lays there the first guy in black pulls out a gun to "clean up his mess." The second man tells him not to as he pulls out a small case. Inside are several little pills. It's a poison that supposedly can't be detected in autopsy. He slips a pill into Jimmy's mouth and pours some water down his throat to help him swallow it. They then run off. Jimmy lies on the ground shaking and thinking about the unbearable pain. He fears he's going to die and the episode ends.
