The Blur

The Blur is a Riches segment from the fourth episode of the Richie Rich cartoon series, as part of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show. The segment originally aired 29 November 1980 on ABC.
== Summary ==
While Bascomb is on vacation, Regina Rich asks Richie to wash his cars in order to earn his weekly allowance. Richie's task is interrupted by a tornado-like crook who enters the Rich Mansion to steal valuables very swiftly without being seen.
Richie later borrows a special device from Professor Keenbean that would be able to view the activity in action without the tornado movement. The Blur was actually a fast-paced robot that was stealing valuables and bringing them to a van belonging to a fake company, Speed-E Moving. Inside the van, are two human crooks who are masterminds in the robbery, and they discover Richie having caught on to the robot's activity. The crooks notify Richie by telephone, and order Richie to leave several piles of jewels on the doorstep of the mansion, or the Blur will kidnap Richie. Richie declares that the crooks win, but has a plan to capture them.
When the Blur steals the jewels, and brings them to the van, the crooks declare it was their biggest haul yet, but little do they know that Richie, Irona and Dollar are hiding inside the piles of jewels, ready to fight the robot, and eventually the crooks. Irona decides to become her own "Blur" but much faster, and successfully destroys the bad robot. Then, Dollar taunts the crook and makes him chase Dollar up the wall and on the ceiling. The crook pauses while on the ceiling, saying it is impossible and then falls to the floor, and Dollar falls soon afterwards. Richie is now so close to capturing the other crook, but he manages to escape in his robot getaway car, but Irona destroys it. The crook tries to flee on foot, but Richie throws one of the parts of the destroyed car towards him, and catches him in his own trap.
Regina Rich is happy to have her prized possessions again: Richie and Irona. Dollar whines, but Regina does not exclude Dollar; she says he is worth a million dollars to her.
