"Swashbuckled" is the first segment of the one hundred-fifth episode of Big City Greens.
Synopsis[]
Gramma assembles a seaworthy crew to retrieve packages stolen by Big City's porch pirates.
Plot[]
Gramma Alice informs Cricket and Tilly that she just ordered a new feather for her old hat and just got a photo from the delivery person informing her that it just arrived. When she goes outside the check, she discovers the package missing. Similarly, Brett, Mr. Grigorian, and Gloria reveal that their packages have disappeared too and that it sounds like the work of porch pirates. She asks Officer Keys for help, but he is useless as his equipment was stolen by porch pirates as well. Alice rounds up her neighbors and they go pirate hunting. Meanwhile, Cricket remembers that Alice had a cat named Dirtbag and tries to befriend it, only for him to react negatively towards him.
Cricket cannot understand why Dirtbag acts the way he does, but Tilly only offers cryptic advice. Any attempt at being upfront with Dirtbag, ends with Cricket getting scratched. Meanwhile, Alice and her cohorts (who all just so happen to resemble pirates in one way or another), drive around town looking for any leads, they encounter a package being stolen by two thieves and they give chase in an epic pirate battle. They manage to catch the thieves who reveal that they answer to someone else and they are given the coordinates. Alice and crew arrive at a warehouse where Alice is separated from the rest and confronts the Captain.
After much exhaustion, Cricket learns that Dirtbag only approaches him when he doesn't want him. Something he finds confusing, but is satisfied with as it allows him to touch Dirtbag. Alice battles the Captain among the missing packages until she has him cornered. He offers that she join him and raid more porches, but she refuses, as she is only interested in her feather. Alice ties up the Captain and rejoins the others. As they call Officer Keys to arrest the porch pirates, Alice and crew ride around Big City giving the packages back to their respective owners, all the while singing about how they got rid of all the pirates.

Trivia[]
- This episode pokes fun at the fact that Dirtbag, Gramma Alice's cat, has rarely been seen, despite having been established since roughly the first episode of the series.
- This episode guest stars voice acting veteran Jim Cummings best known for voicing Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Darkwing Duck, Pete, Bonkers D. Bobcat, and numerous other famous Disney characters. Fittingly, the second segment guest stars his contemporary Frank Welker.
- Cricket acts like he never heard of Dirtbag nor his name despite interacting with him in "Skunked", "Super Gramma!" and "Truce Bomb"; he even said Dirtbag's name in those episodes.
- Moral: Some animals you may not understand.
