Ruby wants Max to stay out of her room, but Max wants in. He just has to see what's inside of her jewelry box. When the sign on her door fails to keep him out, Ruby tells Max her own version of the Greek myth Pandora's Box. Will the story of one overly curious bunny who learned her lesson about snooping teach Max his?
