'''Stress Test!''' is the 49th episode of ''[[The Raccoons]]''.

==Premise==
When [[Cyril Sneer]] is taken to the hospital after getting an ulcer, it is up to [[The Pigs|the pigs]] to keep track of his big land deal. Meanwhile, [[Bert Raccoon|Bert]] gets ripped off by [[Milton Midas]], and attempts to retrieve a refund.

==Plot==
Milton Midas makes his presence manifest by trying to dupe Cyril into buying swampland. However, just before he signs the deal, Cyril falls prey to an ulcer and is forced to go to the hospital. Thus, the Pigs are placed in charge of [[Sneer Mansion]] and throw a wild party and Bert also experiences the deception of Midas.

Cyril becomes a friend of [[Danny]], a fellow patient at the hospital while the Pigs continue to wreak havoc in their employer's absence. As for Midas, his star rises in an extremely deceptive manner, although things may soon unravel.
