00:23Hello there, Peabody here, and this is the Wayback Machine for traveling through time,
00:28and this is my boy, Sherman. Speak, Sherman. Hello. Good boy. And today we visit Napoleon. No kidding, Mr. Peabody?
00:38I never kid, Sherman. Time? About 1810. Place? Paris. Hmm. The Wayback was working beautifully. We were teleported right into
00:48Napoleon's chambers. He wasn't exactly dressed to receive visitors. Who is there? Oh, you are from the Secret Service?
00:56Why, sire? Is something amiss? Of course. They are gone. What are gone? The Imperial Braces. Huh? The Emperor means
01:05his suspenders are missing. Oui. But why are they so important? Because they hold up my pen soap. Crushing logic,
01:14sire.
01:14You can't be an Emperor without suspenders? Of course not. If I try to draw my sword, see? I cannot
01:22order the troops forward. I cannot even salute. And as for making a speech, impossible.
01:30Well, why don't you get another pair? Because I am the Emperor. I must wear only the Imperial suspenders.
01:37Sire, who besides you has access to your wardrobe? Only my ever-faithful servant, Pierre Lacomo. And where is he?
01:45They come to think of it. I haven't seen him lately. Find Pierre, and you'll find the missing suspenders. But
01:51where?
01:52There!
01:53Yes, through the palace window, Sherman had spotted a skulking figure moving toward the gate.
01:57Come on, Mr. Peabody!
01:59My dear boy, I'm a genius, not a track star.
02:02He went this way, toward the docks.
02:04In a trice, we were on the docks.
02:06Look, that ship's leaving. We'll lose them.
02:08I doubt that.
02:10With the ship pulled to the stop, Sherman and I made our way to a porthole.
02:13Inside was Pierre Lacomo and his conspirators.
02:17On the table between them were the Royal Suspenders.
02:20You have done your work well, Pierre.
02:23Nothing.
02:24When our generals see this, they will know Napoleon is helpless.
02:29And they will attack.
02:30Then France will fall.
02:32Like Napoleon's pants.
02:36But Pierre, the table is moving.
02:39How come?
02:40It's simply the rolling of the ship, gentlemen.
02:43Yes, it's the rolling of...
02:44But after them!
02:46Well, we got the suspenders. Let's run!
02:48Unfortunately, we ran in opposite directions.
02:50But it was just as well.
02:53Quickly!
02:54Unless we get those suspenders, our plot is doomed.
02:57I have got this one, Conard!
03:00Peek-a-boo!
03:01Oh! Give me back my sword, you!
03:04Oh, very well.
03:07How's everything, Sherman?
03:09Just fine, Mr. Peabody!
03:10That's nice.
03:11Ah, ah, ah, ah!
03:12It's not sporting, you know.
03:15Who cares?
03:16I'm going to get you if it's the last thing I do.
03:20What do you know?
03:21It was the last thing.
03:23You little pest!
03:24I'm going to feed you to the sharks.
03:26Be calm, Sherman.
03:28My guidebook says there are no sharks in these waters.
03:31Goodbye, you brat.
03:33Mr. Lecomo, you seem to have cut the hawser.
03:37But when I go, he goes.
03:39Not necessarily.
03:41And as the rope parted, Sherman dangled at one end of the Emperor's braces,
03:45while Pierre Lecomo fell into the murky water.
03:48My, seems the guidebook was wrong about those sharks.
03:52Well, now to return these to Napoleon and receive the thanks of the happy populace.
03:57They don't look happy.
03:59Something the matter?
04:00Please, Monsieur Peabody, don't take the Emperor's suspenders back.
04:05Why not?
04:06Because it is the first day in 33 years there has been peace and quiet in France.
04:12The first day the canons have been silent.
04:15No boom, boom, boom.
04:17For years our people have had to go around with their fingers in their ears.
04:23It's the first time I've seen my daddy in 33 years, too.
04:27And who is your daddy?
04:28Napoleon.
04:30Well, we had kept the suspenders from falling into the hands of France's enemies.
04:34But there really didn't seem to be any reason for returning them to Napoleon, either.
04:38And so we didn't.
04:39There they are.
04:41That's why in all the pictures of Napoleon, his hand is inside his coat.
04:45He's really holding up the Imperial pants.
04:53They're probably within the dark switch.
04:57I don't want to draw to see.
