When Melissa and Bert spot a fire breathing monster in Evergreen Lake, tourists begin flocking to see it. Cyril Sneer, takes advantage of the opportunity and tries to sell overpriced monster merchandise. In the end, the monster is exposed as a fake.

Plot[]

In the process of fulfilling her responsibilities as an excellent photojournalist, Melissa takes a picture of what appears to be the Evergreen Monster. Thus, Cyril's mind goes wild with marketing possibilties while Ralph, fulfilling his role as a skeptical newspaper editor, refuses to believe what he can't see with his own eyes. Nevertheless, Melissa does what she can to confirm the veracity of its existence.

The media and a flood of tourists descend upon the Evergreen Forest and Melissa begins to have doubts about "Evie" being real when Cyril announces a massive resort on Evergreen Lake. Further investigation reveals that Cyril and the Pigs had built the mechanical monster as part of a plot to drive up interest in the property. But Bert stops them, and Cyril is once again caught in the act (quite literally) when "Evie" crashes out of control onto the shore. Cyril's scheme is revealed to the public and leaves him with miles of useless beach property and a warehouse of monster merchandise.
