Storyline
When the town's annual parade is just around the corner, Tully the dog realizes his special dress uniform has gone missing. The uniform holds great significance for Tully, who takes pride in his role as a community helper and wants to look his best for the big event.

The Chicken Squad—Coop, Sweetie, and Little Boo—spring into action to help their friend. They launch an investigation to retrace Tully's steps and search all the places the uniform might have ended up. Working together as a team, the young chicks use their problem-solving skills and determination to track down the missing uniform before parade time arrives.
