The movie centers on when Arthur neglects Pal for one day and during that day, Pal manages to get out of the house and sets off on an adventure eating whatever comes his way, and exploring the town of Elwood City. However, once Arthur notices Pal's gone missing, it's up to him and his friends (Buster, Brain, Franchine, Binky, & Prunella) to search the town and find him. With many moments where Arthur & Pal's paths cross (but they end up missing out on each other), it takes Buster, Arthur and DW to connect clues and follow the path Pal's traveled. dea Written by George P When Arthur's dog Pal disappears, Arthur must enlist the help of his friends to track him down. While Pal discovers his newfound freedom, Arthur discovers how much he misses his dog. Good thing Arthur has the gang to turn to--especially his best friend, Buster Baxter who dusts off his old detective gear to get on the case. This canine quest leads Arthur and Buster across Elwood city, deep into the bowels of an ice cream factory, past a giant cow on ice skates, and right up to the point where all hope seems lost. Could the solution to this caper, though, be right in front of Arthur's eyes? And why has DW been acting funny so lately? One thing's for certain, Arthur is determined to get to the bottom of this case. Follow Arthur, Buster, and all their friends through the streets of Elwood City as they sniff out clues and chase after leads...and learn a valuable lesson about friendship, teamwork, and responsibility.
