	Intro
	Scene	Rumpel is putting the final touches on the new machine that he has built after the blueprint his great-great-grandfather, Grouch-onardo, created. Pferd comes by and asks about the machine, to which Rumpel tells him that it's a doubling machine and that he wants to be left in peace so he can test the machine. Pferd decides to hide nearby. Rumpel puts a screw into the machine and sets it to "two copies" and out of the machine come two screws. Rumpel is delighted that now he can have twice as much junk. He leaves Karl Heinz at the funnel for the machine, then goes to fetch more junk.
	Scene	Pferd thinks it looks promising and wonders if it will work with carrots. He sets the carrot on the edge of the machine's funnel, sets the handle to "two copies" and the machine starts. However, Pferd remembers that he did not put the carrot into the funnel and as he turns to the funnel he knocks Karl Heinz right into it, resulting in two identical copies of Karl Heinz resurfacing. Pferd can't figure out which brush is the real Karl Heinz, and decides to call Wolle for help. Wolle arrives quickly and after understanding the problem, he declares it a job for detective Wolle.
	Scene	Detective Wolle can't tell which one's the original Karl Heinz, so he decides to ask them. Unfortunately, he doesn't get an answer from the inanimate objects. Then Pferd notices that Rumpel is on his way back, so they try to hide, along with the two copies of Karl Heinz. Rumpel quickly notices them and asks what they were doing. Neither one can answer, as both have a brush in their mouths. Rumpel notices that Karl Heinz is missing, and goes on a search for him.
	Scene	Wolle gets a new idea, Rumpel will surely be able to identify the original Karl Heinz; however, Pferd is worried that the grouch will get angry. Just as Rumpel is searching closer by the machine, Wolle and Pferd split up, each taking a Karl Heinz. Wolle places the one he has on the funnel just as Rumpel returns. The grouch is happy to see Karl Heinz on the funnel, but notices the carrot on the funnel as well. Wolle can't explain it. Pferd turns around to see whats going on and Rumpel is surprised that Karl Heinz has a visitor that he hadn't told Rumpel about. Pferd admits that it's Karl Heinz's doppelganger. The happy grouch agrees for the doppelganger to stay, and as Wolle declares the case closed, Rumpel multiplies hundreds of carrots as a thank you for Pferd.

	Muppets	The Wörterfee asks Wolf vom Wörtersee for his help; it seems that the lake is losing water, because the "lake stopper" is missing. Wolf tries to figure out what a stopper is. He finds a weird round thing on a chain near the lake, but since he doesn't know what it is, he just throws it away. With the help of his friends he tries to figure out how to stop the water. He decides that the right thing to do is to build a submarine. As the submarine is finished, he once again notices the weird round thing on a chain, and decides that it would make a great amulet for a submarine captain. However, as he is about to put the submarine in the water, it falls apart. The Wörterfee re-appears and notices the stopper around Wolf's neck, and thanks him for saving the lake.
