But then his "clean freak" mum decides to clean up his bedroom and discovers Black Baron in a shoebox under Jake's bed. Mum is aghast - how could Jake keep such a filthy pest? Black Baron escapes from his shoebox home, but Jake's mum is not deterred; she calls the pest exterminator and an hilarious slapstick tale ensues.
