Synopsis[]
When the boys learn that the famous Crikey the Crocodile has gone missing, they set out to find and return him to his home at the Danville Nature Preserve. Meanwhile, to Candace's amazement, Irving reveals his digital scrapbook compilation of all of Phineas and Ferb's wild creations, and guest star Ray Liotta fills in for Major Monogram to give Perry his mission. Also, Dr. Doofenshmirtz plans to embarrass his brother by using his 'Chicken-Replace-inator' to replace Roger's mayoral award with the nearest chicken.
Plot[]
Linda goes to the zoo for some volunteer work and puts Candace in charge. Lawrence, Phineas and Ferb are watching a show called A Horse in a Bookcase. Irving comes to Phineas and Ferb's house and introduces to Candace an iPad-like gadget that he called the Ultimate Phineas And Ferb Digital Scrapbook (or "UPAFDS" for short) that contains all of Phineas and Ferb's creations throughout the summer. Candace tries to borrow it but Irving refuses, and says it will not leave his person. Phineas and Ferb watch the show until they see the breaking news of missing Crikey the Crocodile. Phineas, Irving, and Candace know what to do and wonder where Perry is.
As Perry enters his lair, instead of meeting Major Monogram, he was briefed by actor Ray Liotta. Ray mentions that Monogram was doing some "manscaping" and Ray was doing a favor for him after Monogram did one back at "The Academy". He then briefs Perry about Doofenshmirtz checking on websites and blogs about chicken and chicken-related jokes and tell him to stop him. After Perry leaves, Ray tells Carl that it was very fun and exciting what he did. When Ray asked why he quit "The Academy" to begin his acting career, Carl tells him that he was paid more than "The Academy".
In the sewer, Phineas, Ferb, Irving and Candace rides on an Air-boat to find little Crikey with their Croco-locator and found his location. Candace tries to borrow Irving "UPAFDS" but he refuses again since it's very personal to him that Candace tells him that she'll just show to her mom that Irving agrees but he prefer the "UPAFDS" as a girl. Candace tells Phineas and Ferb to hurry up so that she can show the "UPAFDS" as evidence to her mom.
At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Doofenshmirtz answers his intercom and hears Perry chatter that he tells him to come in and hide behind the couch. As Perry enters, Doofenshmitz jumps out and presses the button to trap Perry but the trap drops a net on him instead of Perry. Doofenshmirtz gives Perry a newspaper that tells Roger was awarded for Danville Mayor of the Year for the second straight year and was only a Mayor for one year. He tells Perry while still wearing the net that everyone laughs at him not his brother, so he creates the Chicken Replace-inator to zap the award and replace it with the nearest chicken in the area, since people always laughs at a chicken. He then throws the net around him to Perry so that he feels comfortable to move.
At the sewer, Phineas and Ferb tells that little Crikey is close by and needs to find another way to catch him. Candace tells them she's only thing they need since she wrestled an alligator before and handling a small crocodile would be easy, but it turns out that Crikey had grown up while he was in the sewer, as Ferb points out. Candace quickly runs to the Air-boat and drives away but hits Crikey, bringing him along for the ride. Phineas calls Isabella for plan-B, and she and the Fireside Girls with Buford and Baljeet on jet-skis pick up the boys and chase Candace and Crikey throughout the sewers and canals in Danville.
Doofenshmirtz observes the award ceremony and sees Roger accepting the award that he's ready to fire his Chicken Replace-inator that Perry stops him by throw a net at him and wreck the mono-pod that holds the inator and Doofenshmirtz catches it and tries to blast Perry with it that hits random objects throughout Danville that everyone laughs when they see a chicken.
Meanwhile, Phineas tells Candace to aim her Air-boat to the middle of tube and she, Crikey and the rest of the kids fly over and landed at the Danville Natural Reserve and the Air-boat was suddenly turns into a chicken due to the Chicken Replace-inator. At the same time, Doofenshmirtz carrying his Chicken Replace-inator tries to find Perry in his apartment that Perry quickly stuff the inator with a rubber chicken and escapes via parachute when it explodes.
The Farmer's wife comes by and sees that their nearest chicken farm was suddenly changed into a scrapyard in fifteen minutes, and the farmer asked what she brought and she replies with lasagna for dinner and for his sister and her husband but quickly snaps out of it and told him not to change subject. Back at Doofenshmirtz's, he sees everything in his lair has been replaced with chickens and finds it not very funny at all.
Phineas congratulates Candace for bringing Crikey to Danville Natural Reserve. Linda comes by and sees Crikey there thinking that he was brought while having lunch and asks Candace why she's sitting on a chicken, which Phineas finds kind of funny. Candace, losing her patience, rushes to Irving and tries to get the "UPAFDS" but Irving refuses, saying that it must not leave his person. As they struggle, they accidentally threw the "UPAFDS" at Crikey, who swallows it whole. Candace can't believe it's gone, and Irving tries to comfort her saying that they just need to wait a few hours, at which point Candace cuts him off, saying that's disgusting. Irving said that he was going to wait for his brother to come up with a replacement "UPAFDS", but then realizes what Candace meant and also thinks it's disgusting.

Songs[]
Goofs[]
- During the song, the color of the jet-ski changes from green/yellow to orange/red and vice-versa throughout the chase.
- When Candace is sitting on the chicken, her life vest is gone, but when she runs to get Irving's UPAFDS, she is seen wearing her life vest.
- When the Chicken-Replace-Inator hit the car it should have been a regular sized chicken instead of a huge chicken unless the nearest chicken was an over-sized chicken which is highly unlikely. It also should have been small because when the ray hit the fan-boat it was a normal sized chicken.
- The song stated a crocodile's eyes are black, but Crikey's are red.
- At the beginning, when Irving appears behind the door, his eyebrows are black.
- After Perry closes the door, the door gets back to its original spot by itself.
- During the chase scene in the canal, after Phineas and Irving change places Milly can be seen briefly with Phineas instead of Holly.
Trivia[]
- It is said that Roger has been mayor for a year. Since he was just elected mayor before "Hail Doofania!" in a special election, this could indicate that this episode occurred in another year.
- The crossing guard that turns into a chicken (thanks to the Chicken-Replace-Inator) may be the same crossing guard for the Fourth Street and Main Street interchange from "The Beak".
- Steve Irwin's famous catchphrase "Crikey!" is also the name of the crocodile celebrity. It also fits in with The Crocodile Hunter, the TV series that was hosted by Steve.
- When Candace hits Crikey, Irving says "We're going to need another boat," as a reference to the line in the movie Jaws: "you're going to need a bigger boat". This line was also cribbed twice in "The Belly of the Beast".
