**One Way Ticket to Venus** is the sixty-sixth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother (and Professor Messer) try getting King Leonardo on a rocket ship.

## Story

As seen previously, Biggy and Itchy decide to separate Odie Cologne from Leonardo by telling Odie that he is a great actor after he falls from a ladder while trimming the hedge outside the palace, thanks to Itchy that pushes the ladder down. They were also disguised as a director and a producer, which made it more authentic for Odie. Odie, who is bedazzled by his apparent "acting", decides to go to The Method School in London to be made a star.

Back at the two villains, they are getting ready to put on disguises. Itchy clowns around and pretends to be a surgeon, but Biggy remarks that they are disguised as scientists. Biggy and Itchy, in their scientist disguises, make it to Leonardo's palace. Leonardo invites them to play Bongo Bongo, but Biggy tells him that they have a new rocket that'll take a man to Venus, and they want Leonardo to christen it. Leonardo is glad to with a bottle of champagne.

They take him to the site of the rocket ship, which was built by Professor Messer (now donning a British look and voice). Professor Messer would like Leonardo to take his champagne and do it inside the rocket, confusing Leonardo as he thought christenings were always done on the outside. Messer tells him it is a "top secret rocket". Leonardo goes in, and the ship blasts off. The three villains are glad that Leonardo is gone for good and decide to now take over Bongo Congo. However, Odie had returned, and the trio are surprised when they enter the throne room. But that's not all: the rocket blasts to the palace and crashes inside. Leonardo is surprised that not only does Venus look his throne room, it is actually indeed his throne room. Odie had come back to give Leonardo his decoder, and he knew inside this was all just a trick. So Biggy and Itchy are taken away, as well as Professor Messer.
Bringing in Biggy

**Bringing in Biggy** is the eleventh episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, King Leonardo and Odie Cologne remember the first ever plot by Itchy Brother and Biggy Rat, whom both had just met each other.

## Story

The episode begins with Leonardo and Odie playing Bongo Bongo in the palace. Leonardo scolds a daydreaming Odie that it is his turn. Odie snaps out of his daydreaming, saying he was just remembering when it was peaceful and quiet. Leonardo comments that it would be like that if it weren't for Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother, then they both start remembering the first time Biggy tried stealing Leonardo's throne - when the two were little boys.

It starts with Leonardo and Odie building a tree fort. As Leonardo nails a wooden plank down, his brother Itchy from down to the ground laughs and pokes fun at them. Leonardo gets distracted by this and nails his thumb, causing him to fall to the ground. His mother comes out and scolds him for laying on the ground and also saying "Confound it". Leonardo mentions that Itchy says more ruder things, but his mom says that Itchy won't be king - he will, so he must be more presentable and also to stop saying "Confound it". So she gives him a "bongo bank", where he must put a Bongo Buck inside for every "Confound it". He accidentally says the phrase, so he has to put one in at that moment.

Itchy laughs at his "kooky brother", when suddenly someone calls for him. It is a younger Biggy Rat, who had come to help Itchy make sure he gets to be king. After some whispering to him, Itchy goes over to Leonardo and Odie. He bets that Leonardo couldn't stop saying "Confound it" for a day, but Leonardo disagrees. Itchy says that if he says "Confound it" between now and sunset, he loses and Itchy gets to be king, whereas Itchy gives Leonardo his sandals. Leonardo agrees on the bet, claiming he always wanted sandals, while Biggy sketches his own plans.

A fight occurs in their teepee, with the Gophers and the Sergeant and even Colonel, until they get the Gophers out and bring them to the fort. When they get there, the Gophers don't listen when Colonel yells "HALT", and they crash into the fort house until Colonel stops them physically. The Colonel takes them to an obstacle course, where they must swing across a river.

Running Board succeeds, but Ruffled Feather keeps swinging and eventually grabs the Colonel, then drops into the water with him. Their second task must be to climb a wall.
