==Transcript==
''{Close-up of a mug reading "THE WORLD'S BEST CROOKED COP", written in marker pen on tape. Longer shot of Puppet Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) sitting in a darkened office, slurping noisily out of the mug while it's still sitting on the table. Strong Bad pushes the mug aside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh, I just drank that.

''{Shot of Puppet Homestar Runner (as Dangeresque Too) carrying an envelope. The envelope reads "FOR YOUR COOL [[Cool Shades|COOL GLASSES]] ONLY Your pal, Dangeresque Too". The envelope is dropped on the table in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's this?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Guess who just busted out of jail.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pulls a sheet of paper out of the envelope with a WANTED poster showing The Cheat, with the name "Szechuan Steve" written underneath.}'' Szechuan Steve? The criminal mastermind behind stealing my curly fries one time? Let's go!

''{Strong Bad grabs his nunchuk gun. Shot of the two running along the top of a building. As their figurine stunt doubles jump over the edge, the shot freezes, and the titles come up on the screen, with a voice-over reading them out.}''

'''VOICE OVER:''' Dangeresque: Puppet Squad &mdash; The Curly Fried Caper

''{Panning shot of an abandoned warehouse. Strong Bad and Homestar arrive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Broken windows. This must be the place!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' These mean streets are tough. I'll handle the dumpsters, YOU take the piles of cardboard boxes.

'''BOTH:''' Break!

''{They run off in opposite directions. Alternate shots of Strong Bad savaging some cardboard boxes, and Homestar (and his stunt double) running and jumping over some dumpsters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Hut! Waaaa! Oof!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blargh! Wroa! Yaaa!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hut! Whoa! Oof!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Hitting the boxes with his nunchuck gun}'' Stupid cardboard boxes! I hate you! Stupid cardboard boxes!

''{Strong Bad and Homestar come back together again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There he is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gasp!

''{Shot of Puppet The Cheat (as Szechuan Steve), apparently wearing a Chinese food box as a hat, standing on the roof holding a cardboard tray of curly fries.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hand over the curly fries, Szechuan Steve!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{More The Cheat noises. Drops the fries over the edge of the building.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{In low-pitched, pretend-slow-motion voice}'' Nooooooo!

''{Slow-motion shot of the curly fries and tray falling to the ground. Or rather, a shot of the curly fries being lowered slowly on strings. Strong Bad catches the tray, then catches all of the curly fries in the tray.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I got you guys!
 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nice catch, D-man! I'll handle Szechuan Steve!

''{Homestar jumps to the top of the building and kicks The Cheat to the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Dangeresque Too. Looks like we finally caught the guy responsible for one time stealing my curly fries!

''{Long shot of Strong Bad, Homestar and The Cheat's action-figure stunt doubles. Pan right, to see Shark-Tooth Bubs watching the scene.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Or did you?

''{Dramatic riff. An "Again" link appears, along with "Dangeresque is coming soon to WiiWare and PC! click to find out more", which links to the Telltale Games website}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Character figures are used in stunts and long-range shots for both puppets, as otherwise the shots would reveal their human controllers. In particular, the Homestar puppet does not have any legs, thus requiring the use of a stand-in.
**Strong Bad's stunt double, The Cheat in the final scene, and Homestar's standing-still stunt double are Set One [[Store Toys#Collectible Figurines|character figurines]], while Homestar's running stunt double is a Set Two character figurine. The figurines appear to been removed from the base to which they originally came attached.
*Szechuan Steve is named for [[wikipedia:Szechuan cuisine|Szechuan cuisine]], which may explain why he's wearing a Chinese take-out container on his head. Szechuan cuisine in turn takes its name from [[wikipedia:Sichuan|Sichuan]] (formerly romanized as "Szechuan"), a province in China.

=== Goofs ===
*When homestar jumps over the dumpsters, he does not have his [[Dangeresque Too]] glasses on.
*At the revealing of shark-tooth bubs, you can see a knuckle as the doll jumps.

=== Fixed Goofs ===
*The pop-up used to make the [[Main Pages]] and the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] they were loaded on go at 24fps to match the Flash file used for this Puppet Stuff on the Main Pages. This especially would make audio-out-of sync. This was fixed by placing a different background behind the toon while it was playing.
**Ironically, this made the [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] go at its usual frame rate of 24fps, as the TV Time Toons Menu slows it down to 12fps.
**Both of these were fixed by making the Flash its own page. However, this seems to be a hasty fix, as other Puppet Stuff that loads onto the Main Pages and the TV Time Toons Menu have never caused this. The previous Puppet Stuff, [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]], had and has no such problem.
*On the Toons menu, it used to say this toon was made in 2007.

===Inside References===
*The theme music used for this toon was originally from the email [[rough copy]].
*This is another instance of [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*The parking lot where most of the action takes place appears to be the same one used in [[Baddest Of The Bands Promo Spot]].
*The drawing of Szechuan Steve's Chinese take-out container has [[Trogdor]] on it.
*The noise of the traffic and honking right after the intro comes from [[Senorial Day]].
