Oggy is Scared of the Sacred Fire
Act I: Oggy Magnon (Prehistoric Era)[]
In 120 Kya, A long time ago, there was a village with many Cro-Magnon cats. One day, Oggy Magnon, the chief's son, was summoning the others to a meeting when suddenly, he saw the sacred fire in the hands of the village chief. He had pyrophobia because of a bad childhood memory due to this: When he was young, back when the Cro-Magnon cats were suffering against the cold, and a storm struck out burning a tree, he curiously went to investigate a torch, only to get burned when he put his hand in there, he got burnt and charred, and started crying hysterically, while the chief believed the fire was a sacred gift from the gods. Poor Oggy... I wish he was never afraid of fire. Where was I now? Ah, yes. The chief told his son that he needs to go out and tells him to keep an eye on the fire. Meanwhile, Joey Magnon plans to take the fire so he can steal the chief's title & take control over the village, but after a chase, the smoke from the flame makes Joey sneeze during his attempt, putting the fire out. No one knows why. The village chief believes Oggy is the culprit and gets really angry at him. Oggy is forced to go to the volcano with Jack Magnon to restart the fire unaware they're being followed by the cockroaches who're determined to stop them, or even slow them down along the way, but keep failing. When they reach the volcano, they choose who had to go by playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors". Oggy "lost" against Jack, so he had to go restore the fire. But the cockroaches arrive & mess everything up, making themselves and Oggy fall, leaving Jack behind.
The four fell onto the interior of the volcano, witnessing a beautiful forest. In the other side of the wall lived Bob and his servants. The servants tied the cat up, bringing it to Bob. Right when Bob agreed to make Oggy their meal, someone saved Oggy in time. Terrified, Bob and his servants run away. At first, there was no one but him... and Olivia! When she greeted him, Oggy screamed as if he were in trouble, and then he was unconscious. When he woke up, he found out that he was in Olivia's flowerhouse aka the hideout from the trollish enemies. She had also put leaves to recover Oggy's feet. In that time, Olivia left him for a few minutes to something, then he fell fast asleep. In his dream he was walking for a few seconds, wondering where he could be. The he paused. He saw Olivia for a few moments and then he woke up. The roaches were the only reason to wake him up, so he tried to hit them until Olivia returned. He threw his weapon away. The scene was switched to the two cats walking. Oggy saw a small bush of flowers which once, I guess, bit him. Or something. Exclaiming "Don't be silly, it's harmless.". Olivia must have said this to Oggy when he was afraid of the flower, before placing one on his head. The two were hanging out as they became friends. The reason I think they became friends for their lives is this, when they were looking the sunset, they entwined their tails. In the meantime, Jack had also found the two which then resulted in a major problem for these guys.
The cockroaches had told Bob that they have been to Olivia's flowerhouse and they know the location. For this, the servants kidnapped Jack and Olivia and the cockroaches accidentally set the flowerhouse on fire. What about Oggy? Well, he was out to occupy himself. When he found out that the flowerhouse was burned down, he started crying hysterically, thinking his friends died from burning, until he heared someone's scream. He then started finding them. Olivia told Oggy Magnon that the only way to free them is to use fire. But he told the female cat that he was afraid of fire. So she raised the stakes. If he would save the two using fire, she would give the Magnon a kiss. Oggy starts daydreaming of what would happen if he had saved her, going back to the village. Exclaiming "Oh, you are such a brave person! Thank you! (Kisses him)". Of course, this is what I think. Then he accepted the deal. So Oggy Magnon found those stones in the ash and created the fire, overcoming his fear. He set fire around the tribe and rescued Jack and Olivia. When the two males were escaping, the female refused to come. Then Oggy told Olivia that her flowerhouse was burned down to ashes, so she accepted to come. They climbed up the rope all the way to the top of the mountain and successfully got away from Bob.
Oggy and his Friends are Happy
Back at the village, Oggy, Jack and Olivia greeted the chief. Angered, Joey lashed out that he was the chief who made the fire. However, he was the chief for a few minutes until he sneezed again! The chief finally understood that Joey was the one who sneezed the fire out and took the hat back from him and tell the villagers to chase the roaches out. After they did so, the chief said Oggy how would they get fire again. Oggy had just the thing. Rocks! He used those rocks to recover the village fire, and the chief was delighted and made the Magnon and Olivia kiss each other. At this cost, the young Oggy Magnon became the next chief of the village.
Act II: Prince Oggy (Middle Ages)[]
The next story takes place in the middle ages, on a kingdom that was looking good. On this day, the King announced his statue of where he defeated the Roach king and presents it to his son, Prince Oggy. He was given the sword but he tripped and fell off the castle, causing the sword to break. The audience laughed at him and the leader of the soldiers, Jack assured that things is just fine so he would repair the sword. The Prince never met someone who could actually be capable of becoming a princess. The King told him to ride a horse, fight a dragon, and lay siege to the enemy's kingdom. But the prince replied negatively about those things, saying he would fail doing all that stuff. When the princess audition started, no lady became the next princess. But guys, seriously, where the heck did the Mona Lisa come from?! Anyways, lets continue. The prince and Jack, came alongside with him. If they would hunt animals they would get money. But they didn't know that there was someone living in this forest. Prince Oggy wanted to take the butterfly. Jack was hunting for dangerous wild animals for a big payout. An anonymous woman appeared and took the wild boar and the second animal away. The third animal was almost gotten when a woman kicked the hunter and Jack fought back in the bush. Once Jack and finishing fighting and captured the woman, it was revealed that the woman was Olivia. She called the animals to punish Jack, but the prince had finally found a perfect match! But she wasn't happy because the young prince had captured the butterfly he was trying to capture. Then he let the butterfly go. She was happy about what Oggy did. Olivia told the prince that he would be a nicer man if he had carried her to her own house. And so he did. More animals kept punishing Jack, but Oggy liked the place! It was like a dream come true. Olivia gave the prince a piece of cloth so that he wouldn't forget about her.
When he came back to the castle he told his father and his mother that he had finally found a perfect match! The King and the Queen were very happy on his son. That he had found Olivia as the match. But something was not right. Black Knight Joey and his companions, Dee Dee and Marky, had devastated an evil plan to take over the kingdom. Oggy didn't notice this at all! The guardian was captured and Joey send a note with Olivia's hair to Oggy. He and Jack entered the cottage and saw that it was shattered. Oggy was sad that Olivia is captured but Jack insisted that he can stop the Black Knight and save Olivia. With the help of the castle's eagle, it drew a map to where Olivia is held captive, and Oggy and Jack headed to the evil castle.
They stopped in their tracks to see a wide patch of thorns and to get pass, they catapulted over the other side and face with Bob, guarding the castle. Jack posed to fight but Bob easily beats him up. Oggy has no defense so he offered his guitar to Bob which he accepts.
The two cats head their way up to the castle, dodging a few obstacles. Oggy was able to dodge them all but not Jack. When the prince finally reached the tower, he reunited with Olivia. Rejoicing, they spin around until Oggy was flown right into a mirror, but he was okay, as they shared a kiss. Jack told that they had to go but Joey slammed the door and locks them in. With no way out, Oggy got an idea and decided he should use the curtains and make a rope using his sewing needle. It was a brilliant idea to get out, but the cockroaches exploded the bridge with a firework rocket. Then the guardian called the birds to carry them to the other side. Fearing that they escaped, the roaches ran and bumped into Bob, causing him to drop and break the guitar. The bulldog growled at the roaches and Oggy came around, ready to swat them. But Olivia protested, telling the young prince not to hit the evil insects even if she was captured by them. Annoyed, the prince accepted and let them go.
Oggy gives the Crown to Olivia
After they returned, the King gave his son the bandaged up sword, awarding him for saving the guardian. They were almost pronounced prince and princess when Joey swung and stole the sword. The King fell backwards and was about to be killed by the Black Knight until Oggy intervened. They fought all over the castle, the Royal parents, Olivia, Jack and the guests watching. Ultimately, the prince had Joey cornered to the wall where a piece of meat landed on the Black Knight and the sword shattered again. Thankfully, Oggy had won and was given a new swatter as a sword. He and Olivia became prince and princess and they lived happily ever after.
Oggy with the Pepper Shaker
Act III: The Incredible Oggy Watson (Late 19th Century London)[]
It is the late 19th century, the year of 1899 is almost over. Meanwhile, Master Detective Jack Holmes and his easily amazed assistant Dr. Oggy Watson are in a house. They hear a doorbell ring and saw that it was Olivia, who runs the clock shop. She tells the detectives that someone has stolen a key from her that unlocks its way to the Big Ben Tower. Oggy falls in love with Olivia so he agrees to find it.
They investigate in her shop for clues before Detective Bob and the police come to the scene and send Jack out of the shop for being aggressive to Bob. Olivia spotted something and notice tiny footprints and two shadows of cockroaches. Oggy follows them until it leads to a sewer. With no option, Jack dragged Oggy along so he can investigate who stole the key.
Meanwhile, the Cockroaches are planning for something bad. Joey writes something on the map and send it with a golden key to their members for sending to the detectives. Back at Jack and Oggy, Oggy researched on a book and finding the clue, he tells Jack that the thieves are the Cockroaches. Jack growled in anger, remembering that time that Joey had knocked him down a waterfall and he can never forget it. Suddenly, a map was thrown through the window and landed on Jack's face. Oggy opened the map and it contains a location of one of the cockroaches who's in the Cat's Fish restaurant.
So Jack and Oggy start to find that restaurant. When they arrive at Carnaby Street, they find the Cat's Fish restaurant. They enter the restaurant and find a Malaysian stick insect sitting. The stick insect and the detectives chatting and becoming friendly each other. The cockroach tells the detectives that the thieves' base is located inside the Nelson's Column at the Trafalgar Square. Then the stick insect secretly swaps the golden key and Jack's yo-yo. The next day, at the Trafalgar square, the detectives and the police arrive. At first, there is no location to where they are until Jack slipped on a lion statue's tail, causing a secret staircase to open, sending Oggy and Bob falling in. It was a channel under the ground leading to a unknown room inside the column that probably the thieves' base. They enter the room and find the Cockroaches. Oggy demands the stolen golden key, but the Cockroaches feign cluelessness. Bob arrests them all, much to Jack and Oggy's delight.
In the Tower of London, the Cockroaches escape and secretly find the bomb and steal it to their member for bringing to the Big Ben. The next day, Bob and the police come to the scene. The bomb was gone and a police officer found Jack's yo-yo. Then, they go to the detectives' house and arrive while Jack is playing a violin. Bob shows the yo-yo, but Jack tells that the yo-yo isn't his. So he finds his yo-yo but get a golden key instead, leaving him troubled. Bob and the police arrest Jack for having the golden key, unaware that Oggy is looking through some notes with his ears plugged in (since he can't handle listening to Jack's violin). Bob gives the golden key to Olivia, much to her confusion, while Jack yells that he's framed. Jack is thrown into the jail of the Tower of London while the Cockroaches are set free by Bob and the police. At the detectives' house, Olivia pulls the eat plugs off of Oggy and tells him that the police trashed the place. and all that was left was Jack's detective hat. Oggy cries hysterically and Olivia grabs a newspaper, give it to Oggy. Oggy finds out that the stick insect he and Jack talked before at the Cat's Fish restaurant is the Cockroaches' ally. Oggy gets angry so he and Olivia plan to make Jack's jailbreak with Olivia's helicopter at night. They fly to the Tower of London. Jack makes the jailbreak and tries to escape on the helicopter. Bob and the police pursuit them, shooting at the suspects' helicopter. The pursuit heads to the Tower Bridge. Olivia throws her spike watches into the road, making the crash.
Oggy, Jack and Olivia escape but their helicopter crashes at the sheep farm. Once they recover, Oggy gives Jack his hat back. Suddenly, Olivia notice a newspaper the sheep was reading and shows them to the cats. On the newspaper it says the countdown at the Big Ben for the 20th century is coming up. Oggy gets to the connection: The cockroaches wanted the golden key to unlock the Big Ben tower and place the bomb in, thus destroying the tower while Queen Victoria gives a speech under it. Oggy asked Olivia if she has the key, she takes the key out, but the sheep eats it. Jack confuses so he also eats it, finding out that it was made of chocolate. Realizing the Cockroaches' trickery, that it is a chocolate key, they scream out loud, and Oggy yells out that they had to get there fast. So, they hurry to London nearly before the 20th century countdown.
When they arrive at the Big Ben, the Cockroaches activate the bomb to explode when the clock dial reaches 0:00 a.m. Oggy and Jack start chasing the Cockroaches while Olivia is trying to deactivate the bomb before it explodes. Behind the cheering crowds, happy Bob, the police and the queen, Jack, Oggy and Olivia's tension are much higher when the time is almost up. Jack catches up to Joey only to slip and fall onto the edge, repeating the events. Oggy tries to save Jack but he was slammed by a gear. Joey started to pull Jack's fingers open but Jack gets an idea and lets go, sending him falling to his death. Oggy was horrified that he lost Jack.
The Cockroaches escape on a blimp. Less seconds left, Olivia still can't deactivate the bomb. Oggy, Jack and Olivia know that it's over, and have to wait for the death. But 1 second left, the clock dial is stuck because Jack stops the mechanism. The crowd stops cheering, counting down and stared confused, even the queen, while the detectives and Olivia have a hope to deactivate the bomb. Olivia successfully deactivates it and the clock dial starts working again because Jack can't stop anymore and it reaches 0:00 a.m. The crowd is cheering and happy and a lot of fireworks are fired into the sky over the Westminster Palace. After the mission is completed, Olivia kisses Oggy, thanking him. Joey is angry that his plan is failed until Dee Dee and Marky bring a rocket firework, but it explodes over the blimp they escaped. The cats exit out of the clock tower and was given cheers from Bob and the police. But however, it did not last long until a gear rolled out of the door. The clock breaks apart and falls on top of the queen. The crowd goes silent, but the queen waves, saying that she is okay. The police chase Oggy and Jack as the 20th century has already arrived with a big bang.
