"Doug's in Debt!" is the seventh episode of Doug.
Synopsis[]
For a class project, Judy lets Doug borrow one of her theatrical Napoleon hats after making him sign a contract. Doug loses the hat and Roger finds it and won't give it back to Doug. In order to get the hat back from Roger, he asks Doug to do many favors including stealing a plastic cow. After all the favors are done, Roger still refuses to give the hat back. Since Doug can't return the hat to Judy, he must suffer the consequences. After Doug tells Judy that Roger won't give the hat back to her, Judy takes the hat from Roger. Doug still agrees to perform in Judy's show, having lost the hat in the first place, so he gets to play Puck. It turns out that "puck" is not the Shakespeare character (as one would expect), but rather a literal hockey puck.
Trivia[]
Roger does a report on the Monroe Doctrine and uses it as his excuse to keep what he has found.
The Monroe Doctrine is a United States foreign policy position that opposes European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere. It holds that any intervention in the political affairs of the Americas by foreign powers is a potentially hostile act against the United States. The doctrine was central to American grand strategy in the 20th century.
