Young voices say, THE DAY HENRY MET…

(Bells)

The voices say, … A FEATHER BOA!

(Children laughing)

(Trumpet music plays)

Henry and a woman with red hair approach a store. A sign on the store has a picture of a hat, a shoe, and a shirt. Two figures stand in a window in the store. Inside, clothes hang on racks and are folded on shelves. Henry walks past a mirror towards a mannequin wearing a pink feather boa. The feather boa hops off the mannequin and towards Henry.

Henry says, HELLO, FEATHER BOA!

The feather boa says, HELLO, HENRY!

Henry asks, HOW ARE YOU TODAY, FEATHER BOA?

The feather boa says, I FEEL GREAT, HENRY, DARLING.
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE LIFE
OF A FEATHER BOA.
WHATEVER THE OUTFIT,
WHATEVER THE OCCASION,
I CAN MAKE THE SHYEST PARTYGOER
LOOK AND FEEL FABULOUS!

The feather boa wraps herself around Henrys neck. Henry turns and looks in the mirror.

He says, OH YES, VERY GLAMOROUS!
THERE SURE ARE A LOT OF CLOTHES
IN THIS SHOP, FEATHER BOA!

The feather boa says, WELL, THIS IS
A VINTAGE CLOTHES SHOP HENRY.
SO WE SELL CLASSIC CLOTHES
AND ACCESSORIES FROM THE PAST.

The feather boa leaps to a curtain.

The feather boa says, WE HAVE CLOTHES FROM THE 60S.

The curtain pulls back and reveals Henry with long brown hair wearing jeans and a tank top, a pink headband and small glasses.

Clothes in the shop from the 60s say, HELLO, HENRY!

The feather boa says, THE 70S.

A curtain reveals Henry wearing a green suit and yellow shirt with black hair.

Clothes from the 70s say, HELLO, HENRY!

The feather boa says, AND THE 80S!

A curtain reveals Henry wearing blue shorts, a blue jacket with short sleeves, a white shirt and black sunglasses.

Clothes from the 80s say, HELLO, HENRY!

Henry says, HELLO, EVERYONE!

The curtain closes then reveals Henry in his normal orange shirt and blue pants.

Henry asks, AND WHAT ERA OF FASHION
ARE YOU FROM, FEATHER BOA?

The feather boa says, I'M FROM THE MOST GLAMOROUS
DECADE OF ALL, HENRY.
THE 1920S.

Henry looks around the store but the shelves and racks are completely empty.

Henry says, HMMM, FEATHER BOA, THERE DOESN'T
SEEM TO BE ANY CLOTHES HERE.

The feather boa says, OH, I KNOW, HENRY! AND I'D LOVE
TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THEM ALL,
BUT THEY ALL HAD TO LEAVE
URGENTLY
AND THEY'VE BEEN ACTING
RATHER SUSPICIOUSLY.

Henry asks, WHY IS THAT, FEATHER BOA?
THEY WOULDN'T SAY, HENRY.
IT'S A REAL MYSTERY.

Henry says, I'M SURE THEY HAVEN'T GONE FAR.
WHY DON'T YOU GO
AND LOOK FOR THEM?

The feather boa says, I'D LOVE TO, HENRY. BUT I'D NEED
A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
TO HELP ME DO THAT.
IF ONLY THERE WAS ONE AROUND.

Henry says, THAT GIVES ME A GREAT IDEA
FEATHER BOA!
I COULD BECOME
A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
AND WE COULD SOLVE THE CASE
OF THE SUSPICIOUS CLOTHES
TOGETHER.

The feather boa says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, HENRY.

Henry narrates, IT WAS A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER.

Through a door window, Henrys shadow walks up to a coat hanger.

He narrates, THAT WAS...UNTIL SHE WALKED
INTO MY LIFE AND DROPPED
THIS HOT POTATO IN MY LAP.

Henry hangs a hat on the coat hanger.

He narrates, IT WAS THE CASE
OF THE SUSPICIOUS CLOTHES…

Henry looks through some blinds.

He narrates, …AND SOMETHING WAS TELLING ME
THIS WASN'T GOING TO BE
A WALK IN THE PARK.

A ceiling fan slowly spins.

Henry narrates, THE CITY HAD SOME SECRETS.

Henry leans back in a chair behind a desk.

He says, AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE THEM UP
EASILY.
IT WAS UP TO ME,
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR HENRY,
TO CRACK THE CASE.

The feather boa rests beside a phone on the desk.

She asks, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, HENRY?

Henry says, IT MEANS I NEED TO USE
MY SUPER DUPER
PRIVATE INVESTIGATING SKILLS
TO FOLLOW THE CLUES AND FIND OUT
WHAT YOUR FRIENDS ARE UP TO.
ALL WE NEED IS A CLUE.

The phone rings. The feather boa answers it.

She says, PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR HENRY'S
OFFICE.
YES, YES. OKAY.
I'LL LET HIM KNOW.
THANKS, GOODBYE.

The feather boa hangs up the phone.

She says, HENRY, A FEDORA HAT HAS BEEN
SPOTTED AT THE CAKE SHOP,
A ZOOT SUIT SIGHTED
AT THE RECORD SHOP,
AND A PAIR OF BROGUES SPIED
AT THE BALLOON SHOP!

Henry says, THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE THEN,
FEATHER BOA!
THIS IS THE LEAD WE NEEDED!
LET'S GET INVESTIGATING!

Henry leaves. The feather boa leaps off the desk after him. At a cake shop, a fedora leaves carrying a large container. The fedora looks around, then turns down a sidewalk. Henry and the feather boa sit on a bench holding newspapers in front of them. The feather boa lowers her newspaper. The feather boa whispers to Henry.

She says, THERE GOES FEDORA HAT, HENRY!

The feather boa lifts up her newspaper. Henry lowers his.

Henry says, HMM... INTERESTING!

Henry takes a photo in the direction of the fedora. At a record store, a zoot suit walks out carrying a box of records. The feather boa pops up from behind trashcans beside the store.

She says, THAT'S MY FRIEND ZOOT SUIT,
HENRY.

Henry stands from behind the trashcans. The feather boa ducks behind them.

Henry says, HMM... MOST CURIOUS.

Henry takes a photo. Outside a balloon store, binoculars focus in on a pair of brogues leaving with some balloons. Henry watches with the binoculars from a bush. The feather boa pops up in the bush.

She says, THERE GOES PAIR OF BROGUES,
HENRY!

The feather boa ducks into the bush and Henry lowers his binoculars.

Henry says, I SEE THEM, FEATHER BOA.

Henry takes a photo. In Henry’s private investigators office, pictures and notes are pined to a board.

The feather boa says, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB, HENRY.
LOOK AT ALL THOSE CLUES.

Henry says, LET ME SEE. WE HAVE FEDORA HAT
BUYING A CAKE.
ZOOT SUIT BUYING RECORDS.
AND PAIR OF BROGUES
BUYING BALLOONS.
HMMM, WHAT AM I MISSING?

(Door knocking)

A paper is slid under a door with a question mark on it.

The feather boa asks, WHAT IS IT, HENRY?

Henry says, IT'S ANOTHER CLUE, FEATHER BOA!

Henry reads the clue.

He says, THE ANSWER YOU SEEK
LIES AT THE JAZZ CLUB.
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. DRESS NICE.
SIGNED, A FRIEND.

The feather boa asks, WHAT DOES IT MEAN, HENRY?

Henry says, HMM... IT'S ALL STARTING
TO FALL INTO PLACE, FEATHER BOA.
LET'S GET TO THE JAZZ CLUB!
QUICK!

Outside of a jazz club, Henry and feather boa run towards the doors. They run inside, but it’s dark.

The feather boa asks, WHAT'S GOING ON, HENRY?
I CAN'T SEE A THING!

Everyone inside shouts, SURPRISE!

Henry says, JUST AS I SUSPECTED,
FEATHER BOA!
THE REASON EVERYONE
WAS ACTING SO SUSPICIOUSLY
WAS... THEY WERE ALL
OUT PLANNING A SURPRISE PARTY
JUST FOR YOU BECAUSE
YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD FRIEND.

The feather boa says, OH, HOW WONDERFUL!
THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH,
EVERYONE. AND THANK YOU, HENRY.

Henry says, IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR
HENRY THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR.
NOW LET'S GET
THIS PARTY STARTED!

Everyone shouts, HURRAY!

Henry sings, THE DAY HENRY MET
A FEATHER BOA.

Everyone sings, HE LAUGHED ALONG WITH EVERYONE.

Henry sings, THE DAY HENRY MET
A FEATHER BOA.

Everyone sings, HE MADE LOTS OF FRIENDS
AND HAD SO MUCH FUN.

A woman calls, HENRY!

Henry says, THAT'S MY MUM CALLING ME,
FEATHER BOA. I BEST BE OFF!
IT WAS REALLY NICE MEETING YOU.

The feather boa says, THE PLEASURE WAS ALL MINE,
HENRY.
AND THANKS FOR HELPING ME SOLVE
THE CASE OF THE
SUSPICIOUS CLOTHES.

Henry says, YOU'RE WELCOME.
HAVE A NICE EVENING!

The feather boa says, BYE BYE, HENRY!

Henry says, BYE BYE, EVERYONE!
I'M COMING, MUM!

Henry leaves.

The feather boa winks.
