Finally, it was Friday, and Geronimo was anxious to take the day off from work. He earned this vacation because he had been working so hard at work. As a result, Geronimo decided to visit Stilton Farm, where there was also a huge celebration of the arrival of spring. Poor Geronimo got stung by bees that were all over the land. His annoying/sweet cousin Trap thought it was time to make some money with the bees. Geronimo eventually came onto Bee Mine, a honey-producing business run by two kind elderly rats, after a long pursuit away from the bees.

Geronimo was working near a window at the Rodent's Gazette on a breezy late July morning. It was quiet until Trap slammed the door open. He arrived to inform him of Mouse Luxe, a super-sized resort that was the most upscale lodging option on Mouse Island. He was telling Geronimo about the competition he had joined, which was run by Smoothie Slickpaws, the proprietor of the travel business Trust Me You'll Like It and a close friend of Geronimo's. The wildest, most remote, and stinkiest location on Mouse Island was Port Stinky, where Trap brought Geronimo to board a helicopter.

Everyone was excited and looking forward to the start of the film festival, which was the most anticipated event of the year. While preparing for the occasion, Geronimo was unaware that he was required to make a speech. His last-minute notes were lost in Trap's hands before the speech, forcing him to improvise and tell a true story. His speech was well-received by those in the crowd, and they all loudly cheered. He was there to watch the detective movies, and oh how he enjoyed being a detective, when Hercule Portrait, his dear buddy, suddenly appeared in front of him.
