One morning, Butt Detective and his assistant was having breakfast in his office when a mysterious-looking client showed up at their door.
They immediately recognized him King Frog XVI from Frog Kingdom. He's here because the kingdom received a note that their royal treasure, the "Wedding Veil" is being targeted by the Phantom Thief U, who will come disguised as a potential suitor on his daughter's wedding day.
When Butt Detective arrived at the castle, many candidates for the groom have gathered, with the hopes of winning the hand of the princess to become the next king.
On the first test across a suspension bridge, many contestants fell into the river below and were eliminated, leaving just five of the princess' childhood friends, Butt Detective and his assistant still standing.
What other challenges will these contestants face? Phantom Thief U surely has already disguised himself as one of the suitors at this point. Can Butt Detective find a way to see through the disguise? How will Butt Detective thwart Phantom Thief U's attempts to steal this royal treasure?
