Other dub names: Flyin' and Lying (4Kids); Jumping Joshinski (Studio 100)
Krash wakes Chiko up and tells him that he has done something interesting for him. On the way, Krash reminds Chiko that a month ago he told him that he could jump on lianas. Therefore, Krash made one for him to demonstrate his skills. Chiko sees a rope tied to a tree with a stick right on the edge of the cliff, with Rosa and Wally already prepared to watch. Looking down, Chiko faints from horror. Barricading himself at home, he becomes so ashamed of his lies that he decides to run away. He hastily gathers his things, but cannot carry them away. Then he decides to become someone else. Chiko puts on a cap, sunglasses, a false mustache and makes an accent for himself.
The next day, Krash decides that he made the rope too short, ties a longer one from the sheets and runs with it to Chiko. When the door is opened, a stranger who introduces himself as Chikorini - Chiko's cousin, who claims that Chiko left. Krash is amazed by this news and looks at his friend's photos all night.
Next morning, Krash, Rosa, and Wally go fishing on the bridge. Rosa suggests that Chiko might be scared to jump on a lianas. Chikorini hears these words and says that Chiko jumped and jumped very well. He gets so carried away with the story that he falls into the water and loses his mustache. Krash, Rosa, and Wally recognize their friend Chiko, who tries to escape in shame, but his friends chase him, happy to see him return.
Tropes:
- …But He Sounds Handsome: When still in disguise as Chikorini, Chiko praises himself for being able to jump on a lianas, something that was long established to be a lie.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Chiko's disguise consists of fake moustache, dark shades and a cap. Somehow, everyone falls for it until he accidentally reveals himself at the very end.
- Pretending to Be One's Own Relative: Chiko pretends to be his own cousin out of fear of being hated for lying.
- Purely Aesthetic Glasses: To disguise himself, Chiko changes his usual glasses for dark shades.
- Shout-Out: The skirmish of Chiko with himself behind the screen is an homage to the famous monologue of the hero Robert De Niro in film Taxi Driver.
- Wig, Dress, Accent: Mustache, cap, sunglasses and accent is all that takes Chiko to disguise himself as his couisin.
