BARNABY BUTTERBUR, INN-VESTIGATOR Happily retired after many years of keeping up the family tradition at the Prancing Pony, Barnaby takes action when his older son is murdered. Helped by a young Hobbit girl (to be named), Barnaby embarks on a series of adventures which take him throughout the Bree-land, the Buckland, and the Shire as he investigates an unusual string of murders, abductions, and shady joint-stock company deals which reach even to the highest levels of Shire-Breeland society. THE BRANDYBUCK BOYS Ferdinand Brandybuck is the Buckland's most renowned answer man. There is no mystery he cannot solve, whether it's finding a lost shoe in the deep recesses of an ancient Hobbit hole or figuring out just exactly who owns the mushroom patches growing wild in the Marish. When Ferdinand is not at home and people's ponies go missing, his Tween-aged sons Folco and Ilberic take on the toughest cases this side of the Brandywine.

Folco and Ilberic encounter a broad range of pony thieves, boat-jackers, cart-theft rings, and Pipeweed smugglers in their travels.

The show's opening credits will scroll across a panoramic view of the Green Hill country and Great Smials as members of the Took clan are shown briefly (in alphabetical order, of course). The show will document the continuing drama of the Took clan as Ferumbras III, nominally the Took and Thain of the Shire, is relegated to a small bedroom and must live out most of his lonely years in a self-imposed exile under his fat mother's shadow. While Ferry hops from tavern to tavern hoping to find a drunken Hobbit-girl sloshed enough to marry him, his precocious 5-year-old niece Pearl involves herself in scheme after scheme, eventually winning old Lalia's confidence. A passing Elf foresees the Tween-aged Pearl's rumored involvement with Lalia's mysterious tumble down the front of Took Hill many years later, and Lalia alternately plots to marry Pearl off to
