Chip and Dale are two chipmunks who start a detective agency, Rescue Rangers, along with their friends Gadget, Monterey Jack, and Zipper. The pint-sized detectives deal with crimes that are often "too small" for the police to handle, usually with other animals as their clients. The gang frequently find themselves going up against two particular arch-villains: Mafia-style tabby cat Fat Cat and mad scientist Norton Nimnul.

Parental Discretion Retired (S1, E13)

The Rangers discover that Fat Cat is cornering the market on caviar by hypnotizing the sturgeons into behaving like chickens, so they will lay eggs everyday instead of once a year.

Does Pavlov Ring a Bell (S2, E18)

Professor Nimnul trains lab animals to follow the maze that mimics the city's underground tunnels in order to use them as a navigation system for his bank-robbing super-rat robot. The team befriends two of them, Sparky and Buzz. Meanwhile, the battle between Chip and Dale for Gadget's attention begins to get ugly.

Chocolate Chips (S2, E25)

Le Purrfect Crime (S2, E41)

When the Rangers learn that dogs are fleeing from Paris, they travel there and learn about the latest plot of Maltese de Sade, Fat Cat's cousin. Meanwhile, Dale realizes he's a distraction to the rest of the Rescue Rangers and wanders aimlessly through Paris, where he suffers amnesia and is brainwashed by Maltese de Sade into fighting against his friends.

The Pied Piper Power Play (S2, E45)

Nimnul hypnotizes all the mice in town (including Monty and Gadget) into running on hamster wheels, so that they can charge a powerful generator for him. Dale's own hypnotic skills are the only thing that can help deal with this crisis.
