Plot
Stacy watches as Josh paints a red heart on a giant artboard. He stops for a moment to dip his brush, but then discovers black & white lines having suddenly appeared on his painting. While Josh cries over his ruined masterpiece, Stacy calls the cops.

The artboard is soon surrounded by police tape. Josh and Stacy tell Savaughn about the details of the crime, leading him to figure out who's behind it. From behind some trees lay black and white paintbrushes, with the former brush about to be picked up by a hand. A hoot calls out and Savaughn turns his head to find black stripes smeared all over Otus' feathers.

Shortly afterwards, Savaughn sees black & white stripes on the police tape. He goes to investigate and, behind Josh's artboard, he discovers the perp: The Zebra. Savaughn pulls out his tazer, but The Zebra makes a run for it. Savaughn chases him.

The Zebra makes it to town and bumps into Disco Bear, knocking him unconscious. The Zebra paints stripes on his clothing. Disco Bear awakens in time to be seen by Savaughn, who mistakes him for an escaped criminal. As Disco Bear is tazed, The Zebra paints more stripes to cover up his tracks. Savaughn spots a shadow looming over stripes on a wall. Believing it to be The Zebra's shadow, he pounces, only to realize he targetted Silhouette instead.

Suddenly, Savaughn sees black & white stripes everywhere. He looks all across town for The Zebra, from buildings to parks, and soon to a zoo. The Zebra is shown hiding in a cage, snickering. He sits on what first seems to be a striped couch, then he hears a growl and realizes it was actually a white tiger.

Calling it quits, Savaughn prepares to leave. But in a puddle of red against the black & white stripes, he finally finds The Zebra (at least his head). He puts a handcuff on The Zebra's tongue and nods in approval.

Moral
"There's black & white. And then there's white & black."
