The Spy Swatter is a 1967 Looney Tunes short directed by Rudy Larriva.
== Plot ==
A scientist mouse invents a secret strength formula that can give a mouse the strength of ten cats. After testing the formula against a robotic cat, Speedy Gonzales is tasked with bringing the formula to a cheese factory. Unfortunately, Daffy Duck has been sent by a cat rival agency hosted by Sam Cat to stop him.
Daffy flies out of the agency using a jetpack and to where Speedy is, but the jetpack runs out gas and Daffy crashes down a manhole. Daffy uses a spymobile to ram after Speedy, but he eventually crashes into a cement truck. Using the remains of his car, Daffy uses a machine gun against Speedy, but misses until he gets crushed and electrocuted by a telephone pole. When Speedy makes it to the cheese factory, Daffy tries to ambush him with a hand gun until Daffy blasts himself. The final plan, a mouse-seeking missile, is changed by Speedy to a duck-seeking missile; Daffy frantically returns to his base and it blows up there, destroying the office while Sam is still in there. Speedy pops in the door, "I want to tell you a secret. Us good guys always win!"
== Censorship ==
* On CBS, the following parts are cut:
** Daffy crashing his car into a telephone pole and getting electrocuted by a falling wire.
** Daffy and Sam getting blown up by the mouse-seeking missile.
== Notes ==
* This was the last of the three "buffer cartoons" produced by Format Films in between Warner Bros. ending its contract with previous Looney Tunes producers DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and re-establishing its own cartoon studio. Likewise, it is also the last short Rudy Larriva directed.
* This is the final golden age WB short animated by Virgil Ross.
