Mater was a private investigator solving mysteries. It was 7:15 on a Friday night, Mater was in his office reading different newspapers about counterfeit tires. [[Tia]] comes in the room and Mater asks what she wants. Tiasays that her sister, [[Mia]], has been carnapped. Tia says that she last saw Mia working for [[Big D]] at his night club, the [[Carbacabana]]. Mater goes to the night club and asks a singer named [[Carmen]] if she's seen Mia anywhere. Carmen says that she saw her a few days ago with Big D and that she smelled salty, like the ocean. Then, one of Big D's henchmen, [[Clyde]], kicks Mater out and breaks one of his headlights for being nosy. Mater then goes to a garbage truck named [[Stinky]] and asks him what the "dirt" on the street is. He says he doesn't know, that he's just throwing out lots of flat tires. He says, "It's odd though." because they all smell salty and that he hasn't smelled anything like that ever since he was working at the docks. Then, Mater takes off to the docks. After trying to sneak in by wearing boxes over himself, Big D's henchmen see him and dangle him over the ocean waters. Tia shows up, begging them not to hurt him. Mater now finds out that Tia double-crossed him. Tia claims that she only did it because it was the only way to save her sister. But just before they're going to throw him in the ocean, Lieutenant Lightning McQueen and other police cars arrive. Tia then sets Mater free and he stops Big D by throwing a box on top of him. The box breaks, revealing counterfeit tires. The police then take Big D away to jail.

Mater goes to the night club and asks a singer named [[Carmen]] ([[Whoopi Goldberg]]) if she's seen Mia anywhere. Carmen says that she saw her a few days ago with Big D and that she smelled salty, just like the ocean. Then, one of Big D's henchmen, [[Clyde]] ([[Danny Mann]]) , comes over and asks if Mater is bugging Carmen, and she replies with, "Not yet, but a girl can hope." and winks at Mater. Claude says that Mater is bugging him, and Clyde kicks Mater out and breaks one of his headlights for being too nosy. Mater then goes to visit a garbage truck named [[Stinky]] ([[John Cygan]]) and asks him what the ''dirt'' on the street is. He says he doesn't know, that he's just throwing out lots of flat tires. He says, "Yeah. It's odd though." because they all smell salty and that he hasn't smelled anything like that ever since he was working at the docks. Then, Mater takes off to the docks.

But before either of them can say anything, Carmen shows up telling everybody to go Conga. Mater agrees by following them, and then dances away with them.

*Somehow, Tia told Big D (just so she could save her sister on her own) that Mater was coming to arrest him so he hoodwink Mater into helping one of the twins because at the end Mater was caught and lifted by a crane and said "I'm being shanghaied!" Then he saw Tia and said, "Tia, you double crossing double crosser." It was all a setup to carnap Mater so Big D could get his revenge, not get caught by the police by Mater, and he didn't want anyone to know that he was behind the fake tires.

*Mater used to have a deep emotional bond and relationship for Tia as it seems. They dated for maybe a few times before their relationship went downhill and got canceled because Tia was very selfish in the relationship, always got Mater in trouble and Mater didn't like where it was heading so, they broke up. She didn't seem really good for his taste anyways. He was mad at her when she entered his office, which means she's not over him, but he is still upset with her about something.
