Synopsis
A quarrel between Chip and Dale, caused by Gadget who has fallen asleep on Chip's shoulder after a movie marathon, is soon being displaced by a new case when an apparently British mouse named Jules Crissen demands the help of the Rescue Rangers. He introduces himself as the butler of the Russian actress Sophia Marskov and tells the Rangers that an assassin is after her. But as soon as the Rangers start working on the case, they learn the hard way that hardly anything about it is the way it looks like.
