In Yogi Bear season 1 episode 21 titled "Scooter Looter," the beloved bear and his sidekick Boo Boo come face to face with a new character in Jellystone Park - a mischievous young scooter rider named Scooter. Scooter is a young boy who is obsessed with his motorized scooter and has been causing trouble all around the park. He is constantly causing havoc speeding through park visitors and stealing picnic baskets from the unsuspecting visitors.
Yogi and Boo Boo soon discover that Scooter has been stealing from tourists by zooming around on his scooter and taking whatever items he can grab. They decide to keep a close eye on him knowing that he is up to something nefarious. Meanwhile, Ranger Smith is completely unaware of the mayhem that Scooter is causing and is more concerned about the upcoming picnic in which the governor will be in attendance.
Yogi and Boo Boo, with the help of Cindy Bear, hatch a plan to catch Scooter red-handed. Yogi will pretend to be sick and lure Scooter into his cave while Boo Boo hides nearby with a giant net. However, Scooter proves to be quite clever and catches on to Yogi's plan. Instead, he takes Yogi's suggestion to visit the bank and ends up getting caught by the police. However, Scooter has a trick up his sleeve that could spell disaster for Jellystone Park.
As Scooter is being taken away by the police, he reveals that he has rigged his scooter with a bomb that will go off in five minutes. The bomb is located somewhere in the park, and unless they find it within five minutes, it will cause catastrophic damage. Yogi and his friends race against the clock to find the bomb, but their efforts prove to be unsuccessful.
Just as it seems Jellystone Park is doomed, Ranger Smith comes up with a solution. He realizes that the governor's bulletproof car is parked nearby and instructs everyone to get inside. They barely make it inside the car before the bomb goes off, causing only minimal damage to the park.
After the crisis is over, Ranger Smith finally realizes the extent of Scooter's crimes and decides to press charges. Yogi and Boo Boo realize that they should have been more understanding towards Scooter and that he may have turned out differently if given the proper guidance. They vow to be better role models in the future.
Overall, Yogi Bear season 1 episode 21 is a thrilling and action-packed adventure that teaches an important lesson about understanding and compassion. The introduction of the new character Scooter adds an exciting element to the show, and the fast-paced plot keeps viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
