A theft of a rare diamond has occured and the only clue is the hair of a Lithuanian wolfhound, the same rare breed of dog belonging to one Falsetto Jones. Fortunately, he's hosting a dog show, so all Kim and Ron need is a dog to enter. Unfortunately, all they have is a rare 'Peruvian hairless' - Rufus.
I found much to enjoy about this episode: the "Alias"-inspired action of Kim searching for the diamond and Ron teaching Rufus the finer points of dog-hood...only for the student to surpass the teacher.
Most of all, I really liked Falsetto Jones. In a season that's brought us a wimpy robot thief, a control-mad video gamer and killer snowmen, it's good to see a one-shot villain who poses something of a threat. For one thing, he won't leave the heroes to their doom; he wants to watch them perish (someone's been studying under Scott Evil).
While this episode works fine at 11 minutes, I kind of wish it was longer.
