Premise[]
Needing a new product to sell to Mr. Mammoth at an upcoming business conference, Cyril puts Cedric in charge of the project. In doing so, Cedric realizes that "Sneer Snake Oil", one of Cyril's existing products, can be used as Sunblock. Meanwhile, a train-load of garbage mysteriously arrives in the forest, prompting the raccoons to research its origin.
Plot[]
Cyril commissions Cedric to be in charge of a major project at Sneer Factory 1.9.8.4. while a mysterious pile of trash arrives in the Evergreen Forest. Consequently, much spirited debate ensues to find out what should be done.
After experiencing some initial frustration with his new mantle, Cedric steps into his role nicely and the Bears like working for him much more than they do for Cyril. As for the debate, it increases in intensity while Mr. Mammoth is slated to make a special appearance.
Finally, the Evergreen Forest is saved from a disastrous bomb (despite this, the bomb emits the Stink Stomper that Pigs One and Two were perfecting) and life goes on as it has previously.

Quotes[]
- Cyril: Factory 1-9-8-4 made a lot of money producing this stuff - Sneer Snake Oil!
- Cedric: (Reading the bottle) "Guaranteed to prevent dandruff, aging, arthritis, hairloss and the common cold." Pop, no one would believe all this!
- Cyril: That doesn't matter now! I'm shutting this place down!
- Cyril: Someone shipped this garbage to us, so we ship it to someone else!
- Ralph: But that's not solving the problem! That's just passing it along!
- Cyril: It solves our problem!
- Cyril: There's big bucks in this recycling business, so I only think it's fair that you boys get to do some profit sharing of your own!
- Pig One: That's great boss!
- Cyril: I want you to go through this dump and recycle everything you can.
- Pig Two: But... but boss, what about the profit sharing?
- Cyril: You two porkers can share the work, 50/50. And I'll take all the profits!
- Train Engineer Sid: That is the most unfriendliest man I've ever met.
