Meanwhile, back in Cookie Gulch...

Sheriff Marshall has decided to bring in some of his family members to his long line of Diaper Deputies. And so early in the morning, his Uncle Gottlieb is now hired as the new Diaper Deputy. He is also the first diapered adult to be inducted as a Diaper Deputy since the other deputies were all cubs.

On the first day on the job as a Diaper Deputy, Gottlieb and Sheriff Marshall stopped several outlaws robbing the First National Cookie Bank, thwarted some varmints trying to blow up the bridge crossing Catfish Creek, stopped a wild bison charging downtown, arrested some diaper thieves robbing Crunchy's Diaper Emporium (Marshall's favorite store to shop for diapers since Crunch gives him and his fellow deputies a discount), and even helping the Sheriff out with his math homework (yes, even the sheriff attends a few hours at school since he's still a cub).

By now it's noon time and the two crinkly law foxes are taking a break from their exhausting work duties. Gottlieb's leaning on the edge of a fence while Marshall, who recently had a diaper change, sits happily in his thick fresh diaper and enjoying the blissful comfort as he chews on a hay straw.

"Hey Sheriff, lets go down to the saloon for a quick drink. My throat's drier than a bale of hay!" said Gottlieb.

"Okay" replied the crinkly sheriff. "But no alcohol. A true Diaper Deputy never drinks the heavy stuff while on duty."

"I know that." answered Gottlieb. "I was thinking about getting a nice cold sarsaparilla on the rocks."

"That sounds good." replied Marshall as he got up with a light crinkle from his thick diaper. "Cousin Frostbite has the best sarsaparilla in Cookie Gulch, so let's go to his place."

And so, the crinkly duo moseyed down towards Frostbite's Saloon And Milk Bar, where Gottlieb had his nice cold sarsaparilla while Marshall ordered a chocolate milkshake.

But once the crinkly duo had finished with their drinks, Deputy Davey burst through the doorways of the saloon.

"Sheriff Marshall!! Nobath McGaff has challenged you to a draw!"

"Nobath McGaff??" asked Gottlieb.

"Is he challenging me again?! He's a wily skunk of an outlaw who hasn't took a bath in years. And the diapers he wears are even worse! He's wanted for cookie robbery, vagrancy, and polluting the air with his terrible stench!" He then turned towards Scout. "Tell that smelly varmint that I accept his challenge!"

"What do you want me to do?" asked Gottlieb.

"I need you to get out the spare bathtub and fill it up with water." replied Marshall. "Once I'm done with him, I want that varmint cleaned up good!"

Moments later, Nobath McGaff was waiting at the middle of the main street. He was a ragged unkempt skunk wearing a worn out hat, a torn up bandanna, and a filthy cloth diaper that drooped down his waist. "'Bout time you'd showed up, sheriff soggypants!" snapped McGaff. "I've improved my gunship accuracy and this time, I won't lose!" He held up his gun which is loaded with a tranquilizer dart.

"He's improving." thought Marshall. "The last duel he used stink bombs as his main weapon."

Moments later, the whole town got quiet as a church as the two cubs stared at each other for the draw.

"Draw, pilgrim!!" snapped McGaff as he pulled out his gun. But Marshall, who has a draw like greased lightning shot his dart first and wound up in McGaff's elbow.

"AGH!! NO!! BEATEN AGAIN BY A STINKIN' Fox... who can't ... even... keep... his ... diaper... dryyyy..." screeched Nobath McGaff as the tranquilizer dart in his elbow slowly tranquilize him into unconsciousness.

Marshall just shook his head slowly and sighs. "He never learns." Then he calls out to Gottlieb and Davey. "Alright boys, bring out the tub!!" All at once, Gottlieb and Davey dragged out the spare bathtub filled with clean water and soap bubbles while Marshall had the unfortunate task in removing McGaff's filthy clothing.

"PHEW!!!" gasped Marshall as he threw the clothing in a garbage can. "That diaper he's wearing hasn't been changed in years!!" He then picked up the ragged skunk and tossed him in the tub.

"Okay boys, get him all squeaky cleaned before he wakes up." ordered Marshall as Gottlieb and Davey scrubbed McGaff from head to toe.

A few hours later, Nobath McGaff finally woken up, only to find himself in the local jailhouse. But being captured wasn't the only thing he discovered. McGaff then realized that his fur's all fluffy and clean. He also noticed that there's a baby bonnet tied around his head, a bib around his neck, booties on his paws and feet, and a clean thick disposable diaper around his waist.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Marshall and Deputy Gottlieb walked toward the cell.

"Now does it feel better to be all squeaky clean?" asked Gottlieb.

"I think it's terrible!" snapped McGaff. "I like being all filthy!" He then poked at the front of his diaper and admiring on it's thickness. "I do think this diaper's nice and thick though! I never get to wear disposable diapers."

"Nobath McGaff, this challenge has gone on far enough." said Marshall. "I really don't like arresting you over and over. I think it's time that you cleaned up your act, this time for good!"

McGaff stood in his cell for a moment. "Alright, I'll change my ways. I'll even join the Diaper Deputies as a way of community service for my crimes."

"Now you're talkin'!!" replied Marshall. "And if you behave yourself, I'll try to get the judge go easy on you." Marshall then tucked a blanket around McGaff and plopped a pacifier in his mouth. "Now get some sleep McGaff. You had a tiring day today."

As McGaff went to sleep, Marshall and Gottlieb quietly exited the jailhouse.

"You think McGaff will change his ways?" asked Gottlieb.

"I hope so." answered Marshall. "He's not really a bad outlaw. But I have faith in him and I hope he turns good. But don't expect him to stay clean for very long. He didn't get the name "Nobath McGaff" for nothing!"

Once the crinkly duo left the jailhouse, the sun was sinking down and the town was closing down for the evening. Thinking that it's now getting late, the crinkly duo headed back to the sheriff's office and went upstairs to the bunkhouse to retire for the night for the sheriff and his new Diaper Deputy has another busy adventure tomorrow.
