Synopsis

Stamp collectors everywhere are in a panic as all of the world's stamps have disappeared. Officer Flanagan knows that only the Fox is clever enough to commit such a crime and puts the Hunter on the case. The Hunter decides to start his investigation at the Post Office. He is directed to a mail chute where he falls down and is mistaken for a package, and accidentally mails himself to Washington, D.C. Ironically, it is there that the Fox has set up shop selling the stolen stamps at discount prices ("already post-marked to save time"). His shop is so successful that he has put the U.S. Post Office across the street out of business. The Hunter, angered by the treatment he was just given by the Postal service, moves to the front of the Fox's line to congratulate him. In doing so, he knocks the Fox's shades off and recognizes him. The Fox stumbles backward and knocks a pile of stamp books which fall on top of him. Officer Flanagan conveniently materializes again to collect the Fox, and the Hunter is also flattened by a falling pile of stamp books.
