Flaw and Order/Transcript

Introduction
''A reading room reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes movies. Several Arthur characters in evening dress are present. Buster slices off a piece of cake for himself.''

Buster: I suppose you're wondering why we called you all here? Binky is playing the piano. Binky: You said there was cake, old boy.

Buster: Mmm, and it's delicious!

Arthur: Yes, I suppose it is. But that's not the main reason.

Buster: Oh, huh, right. The main reason is... we know whodunnit. Lightning.

Arthur: Could it be the professor? Brain drops a book.   Or maybe the heiress? Muffy is reclining on a chaise longue, attended by Bailey.

Muffy: Hh! Oh, no, no, no.   Bailey fans her.

Arthur: Or perhaps... the ne'er-do-well gad-about. He points at Binky who stops playing.

Binky: The what?!

Brain: He means you, old bean.

Binky: Oh. Hh!

Arthur: And the culprit is... The lights go out.

Buster: Ahh! Arthur turns on a flashlight.

Arthur: What happened? Who screamed?

Buster: Oh. Sorry. That was me. I dropped my cake. He.

Arthur: Ohh...

Title Card: Magnifying Glass
Arthur and Buster play baseball in front of the Read house. Buster: All I'm saying is a rocket-powered baseball bat would be cool.

Mr. Read: from inside:  Aargh!  

''Arthur and Buster run inside. Mr. Read is holding a large glass cake plate with a chip in it.''

Arthur: What happened?

Mr. Read: Miss Perske just delivered this cake plate an hour ago and it has a huge chip in it and the Johnson wedding is this weekend!

Arthur: Can't you just use another one?

Mr. Read: No. They specifically requested this one.

D.W.: Well, it wasn't me. I was never near that table.

Mr. Read: Arthur, do you have any idea how this happened?

Arthur: Uh, we were just outside playing baseball.

D.W.: Arthur's not telling you everything.

Arthur: Wha-what do you mean? D.W. holds up a video camera.

D.W.: I've got it all on tape with my spycam!  Arthur tries to take the camera from her.

Arthur: Where'd you get that?

Buster: Oh, that's mine. I told D.W. she could use it while I was here.

''Mr. Read has connected the camera to the TV. The video shows Arthur and Buster dancing on a dance mat in front of the TV.''

Video Game (Video):  'Level ten! You're really dancing now!'

Buster (Video): We sure are! Who knew competitive dancing could be so much fun!

D.W. (Video): (giggles)   The doorbell and Mrs. Read's voice are heard.

Mrs. Read (Video): Oh, thank you. ''The video shows Mrs. Read putting the plate on a table by the open living room window. '' This should be safe here.

Arthur (Video): Buster, I've had enough. Let's play outside.

D.W. (Video): Uh-oh. Pal sticks his nose in the camera.  Pal! Pal, shoo! '' She pushes Pal away. Arthur and Buster walk by.''

Arthur (Video): Hey, Buster. Let's play some ball. Here, catch! ''Sound of breaking glass. Pal comes and licks the camera. Mr. Read turns off the video.''

Mr. Read: Arthur, I'm very disappointed in you. Why didn't you say tell me you'd been in the living room?

Arthur: We were outside, but I guess we were in the living room first. But we didn't break it!

Mr. Read: That's not what it sounds like on the tape. I have to work now, but tonight I want you to tell me what really happened. He leaves the room.

Arthur: I can't believe you videotaped us!

D.W.: Well, I'm glad I did, since it proves I didn't do it. Which reminds me, you boys dance divinely. Have fun with your talk tonight! She leaves.

Arthur: My Dad doesn't believe us. We've got to prove we're telling the truth.

Buster: But how?

Arthur: By finding out who did break that plate!

Buster: Hmm, who's most the most likely person to have broken something?
