Worst Mayor Ever

"The key to the city's been stolen!"

- Tom

Worst Mayor Ever is the 5th episode of Season 4 of Talking Tom and Friends.

Synopsis
On Talking Tom's last day as Mayor, the Key to the City goes missing. Seems like a job for the incredible Detective Hank.

Plot
Tom was getting the Key to the City because his term as mayor was ending; it was a tradition for a mayor to hand the key to his successor. When he opened the safe, he finds the key was missing.

Hank offers to be his detective to find out what happened to the key, assisted by Ginger. So, they interrogate Angela, Jeremy and the Landlord, all of which had seemingly valid alibis. They reviewed the Landlord's photos at Jerry's for a potential lead. They were stumped and Hank asks Rhonda for a cranberry doughnut. Rhonda claims that the cafe didn't have any. They remember Jeremy claiming he was at the cafe eating cranberry donuts, but Rhonda denies ever seeing him at the cafe. They realize that Jeremy was lying and was therefore the thief.

They rush to the garage and tell Tom the whole story. They then find Jeremy leaving the garage and giving a mysterious person a cardboard box. Assuming Jeremy was selling the key, they chase him and take him inside. Tom was about to kick Jeremy out of the garage, but Angela intervenes and explains what really happened.

Apparently Angela was baking a cake to surprise Tom at the ceremony, and hid the cake at the safe. However, Tom was about to check the safe for the key, so she gets Jeremy to pick up the cake to make sure the surprise doesn't get spoiled. However, neither of them knew where the key was. Angela throws the cake away, and the ceremony was about to start, so Tom gets ready to come down in history as the worst mayor in town.

Ginger and Hank sit on the roof, feeling like they failed Tom. Then, an idea sparked. He watched the footage of Angela throwing away the cake and notices the key was stuck to the bottom of the cake. They were about to rush over to the trash can, but the garbage truck comes to pick it up. They chase the garbage truck to retrieve the key. At one point, Ginger rode a bike to the front of the truck and flung some objects into the windshield. The truck skidded, flinging all the garbage and the key into the air towards the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Tom was at the stage, doing some serious stalling, when the crowd chants for the key. He sees the mound of garbage flying his way. He leaps into the air and catches the key midair. The rest of the garbage landed onto the new mayor. Hank walks into the sunset feeling proud, and Tom hands over the key before running away.
