Read No Evil! is the 19th episode of The Raccoons.

Premise

After a close call in Beaver Bite Swamp, Bert and Cedric meet Herman, and learn the swamp may have oil under it. This grabs Cyril's attention, and he tries to buy the swamp out from underneath Herman by 5:00 PM on Tuesday. To further complicate matters, Herman can't read. Can the swamp be saved?

Plot

The swamp inhabitated by Herman apparently is home to a vast oil reserve, so naturally Cyril wants it as a deal with Mr. Mammoth. He is poised and primed to pounce on the swamp as even though Herman owns the land, he can't read the deed which proves it. But finally, Herman retains the swampland, while Cyril is foiled once again.

Trivia

  • First of two appearances of Herman Zechariah Stroll, voiced by Marvin Goldhar.
  • Cyril quotes The Beverly Hillbillies theme song, "Black gold, Texas tea".
  • Michael Magee is credited as Snag who doesn't appear.
  • Carl Banas and Bob Dermer are credited as the Bears, who don't appear.

  • This episode marks the first and only time a character speaks over the ending credits. In this case we hear Cyril speaking to Mammoth about returning the oil rigs. We also hear Lloyd (Pig One) speak as Cyril asks him to read the small print about returning the oil rigs, and Cyril isn't happy when he can't return it.
  • The title of this episode is obviously a reference to "Hear No Evil, See No Evil and Speak No Evil".
