Vicious Cycle / To Catch a Thief (2000)

Vicious Cycle An annual bike race is an event that could easily bring a smile to Angela's face. However, Angela is stuck with hand-me-down bikes from her goofy brothers while Nanette rides the best bikes that money can buy. Angela is doomed to another humiliating defeat. That is until Angela finds a wallet stuffed with two hundred dollars. Of course, Angela would normally turn in a lost wallet but two hundred is a magical number. Two hundred is the prize money for winning the race and two hundred is the cost of a new bike. The logical choice is, buy a new bike and win the prize money, then replace the wallet money with said prize. Angela hides the wallet until she can put her plan into action. In the mean time, Angela's father, Bill, has refurbished Angela's old bike. He would have bought her a new one except he lost his wallet...filled with two hundred dollars! Angela realizes it was Bill's wallet she found only it's too late. She herself has lost it. Now Angela has no choice but to win the bike race in order to replace her father's money. To Catch a Thief Someone is robbing the Manoir Manor of their precious trinkets. Tapwater Springs jumps into action, immediately calling for the formation of a neighbourhood watch. A leader is needed to head the initiative and Angela happily volunteers her father Bill, who chooses Angela as his partner in crime fighting. Angela sees this as a chance to establish herself as the town's greatest crime fighter. The only trouble is, crime suddenly appears scarce in the small town, and Angela is forced to fight off boredom instead. Suddenly, something happens. Angela is unsure of what the something is, but while using her father's spy-noculars, she spots a happening at the Manoir mansion. Angela climbs through Nanette's bedroom window, honing in on the criminal element. Unfortunately, as Angela enters, the seemingly miniature crook disappears. Nanette accuses Angela of being the Tapwater Springs crook, and Angela must prove her innocence. She does so, revealing that Oo-La-La, Nanette's precious purebred French poodle, has been treating Manoir heirlooms like common bones!
