Watch Trailer Buy tickets

In the second live-action Muppets film, initially shown at the Avalon in 1981, twin brothers Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear play intrepid newspaper reporters for the Daily Chronicle. Accompanied by Gonzo as their photographer, they snag an assignment to investigate the theft of a valuable diamond necklace from fashion designer Lady Holiday. They travel to London, England to interview her, but  when Kermit seeks out Lady Holiday in her office, he instead finds her receptionist, Miss Piggy, and mistakes her for the fashion designer. Piggy falls in love with the little green reporter and masquerades as Lady Holiday, but is framed for the robbery by the actual thief, Lady Holiday’s brother Nicky. Kermit’s crew, along with their friends from the raucous Happiness Hotel, have no choice but to intercept and catch the thieves themselves in order to clear Miss Piggy’s good name.
