Storyline
In this episode of The Chicken Squad, Snick and Wheeze find themselves in an unexpected position when two young cousins arrive for a visit.

They must decide whether to continue their typical antics or rise to the occasion and demonstrate the kind of behavior worthy of the admiration their cousins have for them.
