Transcript:

Rip Haywire: This is Sheriff Ripscoe P. Haywire. Pull over before I smash you into villain jelly! Voice: Huh, the DMV was right. If you can't see the wheels of the vehicle in front of you... you're too close... Highwayman: Kill him! Or don't bother coming back to the gang. Man: Sheesh, and I thought by getting my G.E.D. this kinda work would stop. Outta the way, goon. It's your boss in the ugly hat I want! If you want him, you gotta get through me first. And don't think you can! Rip Haywire: You hit like a high school dropout... are you sure you got your G.E.D? Man: Poke the bear, Lawman, poke the bear. Narrator: Rip faces off against a villain's nasty henchgoon! Rip Haywire: Patience, grasshopper. Narrator: Rip's life is about to change when his Dad, in a sudden fit of responsibility, assigns Rip his toughest mission yet: a historically all-girls summer camp. Will Rip learn how to get along with his feminine camp mates, most of whom have never even seen a flame thrower, let alone used one to fend off a pack of rabid hyenas? Can Rip solve the mysteries that surround the camp and one intriguing in particular? Readers will follow Rip's misadventures in his whimsically illustrated journal, helping him to solve puzzels and beat the bad guys, as he learns that friendship can be more valuable than ancient treasure, and more powerful than a well-placed land mine.
