"Evry Li'l Bug"

The Spirit's peaceful picnic with Ellen takes a chaotic turn when he spots Glut Mutton's gang attempting a heist, forcing him to abandon his romantic plans to stop the crooks. But Glut has his own scheme brewing—one that could trap the Spirit in a life far more complicated than any criminal he's faced. This 1986 adventure blends romance, mayhem, and humor as the Spirit discovers that sometimes the real danger isn't a bullet, but a wedding ring.
