On Rastepappe Island, koalas and badgers live happily side by side—until the eucalyptus leaves in Koalatown begin to disappear. With the koalas’ food supply dwindling, suspicion quickly falls on their neighbours in Badgertown, threatening the peace between the two towns. Archibald the koala detective is called in to investigate. As he follows a trail of curious clues, he must discover what is harming the trees and uncover whether the badgers are truly responsible.
