In the Fairy Tale Criminal Justice System the fairy tale police take their jobs ridiculously seriously. H.D., a hardened and short-fused officer (played by a very convincing and often intimidating David Williams) is on the case! Homes are being mysteriously destroyed across the land. Specifically, two of the homes owned by the Three Little Pigs (Chuck Kane, Izzy Valleley and Taylor Mundondo). H.D., with help of course by his right hand, one-shoed, partner on the scene, Cindy, (played by the hilarious Mary Beth Penjuke) search high and low for the culprit.

They are met with increasingly outlandish encounters with other assorted fairy tale characters on their quest to crack the case! The evidence continues to pile up as the Fairytale District Attorneys, Stiltzin and Merm, (played by dynamic duo Laura Shapella and Tara Dulac), pile on the pressure to solve the case.

All evidence seems to point to a Mr. B.B. Wolf* (Landon DeGroote) as fairy tale characters present more and more incriminating evidence against him. Only Peep, Little Bo Peep (Christopher McBreen) that is, can herd the honorable Judge Godmother (Elda Kulp) around to see the truth of the matter!
