Pulling the Mane Switch

**Pulling the Mane Switch** is the thirty-sixth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, Dr. Bugosi and his assistants begin operation on King Leonardo.

## Story

As seen previously, when Odie Cologne leaves for a vacation, Leonardo has to hire a temporary valet in the meantime. Biggy Rat hears this and suggests Itchy Brother to take the job, so he does and is referred to as "Marmaduke". In this plot, "Marmaduke" messes around with Leonardo to make him ill in an attempt to send him to Dr. Bugosi's sanitarium, where the villains plan to replace Leonardo's mane with Itchy's, and vice versa so Itchy would look like the king.

Leonardo and Itchy arrive to the sanitarium, and are greeted by Dr. Bugosi, with assistants Pavlov and Nikita. Pavlov is a Frankenstein built monster who takes Leonardo up to his room. Leonardo insults him, calling him a "big oaf", although Dr. Bugosi reminds him that Pavlov is sensitive. Nikita, the littler assistant that is said to sharpen Bugosi's tools, is ordered by him to go take care of Leonardo. Nikita and Pavlov have some fun with Leonardo, stretching him out on a stretcher.

Meanwhile, word around the palace had got around about Leonardo's absence, so they send a message out to Odie about this. Back at the sanitarium, Dr. Bugosi tells the two to stop playing around with Leonardo and begin the operation. They put him on the operation table and Nikita hands Bugosi the supplies, and Dr. Bugosi tells Biggy to pull the switch. Fortunately, Odie breaks some wires outside which darkens the room, but Bugosi comments that he is the greatest and can work in the dark. Odie steps in and seizes them and tells Leonardo what's going on. Leonardo wants to de-mane Itchy himself, but it is too late and Itchy is missing his hair much to his dismay.

## Trivia

* A lyric from the theme song is referenced, when the narrator says "Odie O. Cologne comes through to save the day".
* This is the first and only appearance of Dr. Bugosi with his assistants Pavlov and Nikita.
* Odie says to Leonardo that Marmaduke was Itchy Brother trying to steal his mane. Of course, Odie hadn't known about it since he was gone, however he could've discovered that in the message he got from the guards. But if that's the case, it's a wonder why the guards didn't try to seize Marmaduke if they already knew it was Itchy Brother.
* The title is a pun on "main switch". This is actually said in the cartoon.
* Biggy's hands are seen to be drawn as sticks.
Lost Valley

**Lost Valley** is the forty-seventh episode of *The World of Commander McBragg.* In this episode, Commander McBragg tells about his encounter with a giant.

## Story

McBragg tells a story to his colleague about how he got a hula hoop he is exercising with. It takes place in Lost Valley, where McBragg's plane goes out and he crashes in said place. A tribal group ties McBragg up and tells him that a giant will get him. McBragg manages to free himself and he is met with the giant. McBragg manages to see that there is a thorn in his foot that is making him angry, so he pulls it out and the giant befriends him and helps him out of the valley. The hula hoop, was a ring on his little finger that the giant gave to McBragg as a gift.

"I'd say, that is a twist."

## Trivia

* McBragg and his colleague are in an exercise room instead of the living room.
* The story is similar to *The Giant Elephant,* where McBragg helps a poor ferocious-looking creature (and both have thorns in their feet) that becomes friends with him.

The boys kick the platypus out of the pool and he leaves for Australia. Angered, Stanley Livingston tells the pair to get that platypus back or he'll skin them alive.

Tennessee and Chumley head for Australia to find the platypus, with some aide from Mr. Whoopee. The stubborn creature will not return to the states until Tennessee allows him to wear his tuxedo, which equals embarrassment for Tennessee. Nevertheless, after a bunch of incidents, Tennessee has no choice but to grant the platypus his wish.

## Trivia

Bye Bye Bell

**Bye Bye Bell** is the thirty-sixth episode of *The Hunter.* In this episode, The Fox steals the Liberty Bell.

## Story

The Fox steals the Liberty Bell and the world goes into panic. The Hunter is called upon to find the bell, and he looks for it in some really silly places, like on a ship and in a church bell tower.

He finally finds the Fox in a warehouse on the outskirts of the city, selling counterfeit Liberty Bells to patriotic citizens. He quickly discovers the Fox's identity and turns him and the bells over to Officer Flim Flanagan, although it is questionable whether they return the correct Liberty Bell to the city (it has no crack).
Ride 'Em Cowboy

**Ride 'Em Cowboy** is the one hundredth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, King Leonardo and Itchy Brother compete in a rodeo.

## Story

As seen previously, Leonardo gets a rodeo to come to Bongo Congo. The showrunner, Buffalo Willie, announces a thousand dollar Bongo Buck prize for the best cowboy, although no one enters except Itchy, who of course are going to enter with tricks up their sleeve thanks to Professor Messer. Seeing him enter makes Leonardo himself enter.

Buffalo Willie introduces Itchy and Leonardo to the rodeo watchers. Biggy Rat helps Itchy get ready for the first event: who can stay on a bucking bronco the longest. He cakes the glue on the saddle even though Itchy calls Messer saying "a little dab'll do ya". The saddle stick seems to work though, until he swings off the saddle, resulting in his pants ripping off. Leonardo attempts the event as well and gets better appraise from the audience.

The second event features cat-roping. Itchy pulls this off wonderfully with his long maneuvering lasso, Leonardo on the other hand ties himself up instead. Itchy appears to be keeping up as they approach the steer throwing contest. Leonardo once again is bad at this as the bull throws him to the side. However, Itchy ends up failing at this as well, because he pulls on the tail of the mechanical bull and it comes apart, as it was supposed to. Itchy is chased by Buffalo Willie and the angered crowd. Odie Cologne says like always, "cheaters come to prove us"

## Trivia

* Buffalo Willie says Leonardo is wearing purple jeans, but his jeans are blue.
If at First You Don't Succeed

**If at First You Don't Succeed** is the fifty-first episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, King Leonardo wants to do something historic to make Bongo Congo memorable.

## Story

it was quiet in Bongo Congo, and Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother were hiding out. Leonardo had time to actually think, which, proves to be disastrous for Leonardo. He wants to find some way to put Bongo Congo on the map. Odie Cologne comments that it is literally on the map, but Leonardo means he wants to do something to get the name of the kingdom out. Leonardo thinks to fly a plane the highest a man have ever flown.

Leonardo's royal mechanics got to work building an airplane, and finally the day came as thousands cheered and reported the event. Leonardo took off successfully, but was still learning the controls. His manual says that if he wants to go higher, to press a little button, but Leonardo mentions that he pushed every button except one that reads "Ejector". So, he ejects from the plane and it flies without him.

Nonetheless, Leonardo decides to do something else: the first man to touch the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. They get there, but Leonardo doesn't know that he jumps into the shortest part. Nevertheless, they sail a little bit and Leonardo jumps down and swims to the bottom, until one of two fishermen catch Leonardo and take a picture with their record catch. Leonardo sits in his throne disappointed that he failed twice. Odie tells him to forget it and asks to play Bongo Bongo, but Leonardo feels down until he sees something in a newspaper: the first man to reach the top of Big Rock Candy Mountain wins a $100,000 prize. He gets the immediate idea to start heading to the mountain, but they aren't the only ones: there's Biggy and Itchy who are also aiming to climb.

## Trivia

It is an elephant who comes ferociously stomping to McBragg. McBragg finds that there is a thorn in the elephant's foot, so McBragg pulls it out and the elephant becomes friendly. It befriends McBragg and follows him wherever he goes, although causing destruction. And McBragg hadn't fully got rid of it. The colleague doesn't believe him, but before he could say anything else, there is a crash and McBragg is gone.

Little Boy Blues

**Little Boy Blues** is the sixty-fifth and final episode of *The Hunter.* In this episode, Little Boy Blues' horn is stolen.

This cartoon is entirely musical, much like The Stolen Spoon Saga.

## Story/Lyrics

Narrator: Far from The Hunter's city, where he searched for crime and clues, far from the traffic noises, lived a family named The Blues. There was Papa Blues, and Little Boy Blues, and a ranch with cows and sheep. And Little Boy Blues had a magic horn that helped him earn his keep.

*Every day when the sun went away, old Papa Blues would say:*

Papa Blues: Ay, Little Boy Blues, come blow your horn!

*And Blues would start to play!*

*(Music)*

*Super notes would fill the air from the meadow to the corn*

*The cows and the sheep would come running home to get closer to that horn*

Narrator: Then one night while the Blues asleep, that Fox of a crook appeared. He sneaked in the house and stole the horn, and then he disappeared. Next morning when Blues found his horn was gone, he bravely fought back tears.

Little Boy Blues: I'm going to hunt for my magic horn! I'll find it, if it takes me years!

*Now Papa Blues went to the phone, and gave the police the news*

Papa Blues: Ay, somebody stole the magic horn, the horn of my Little Boy Blues!

Officer Flim Flanagan: Sounds like the work of the Fox to me! (Said Flanagan to Papa Blues.) So I put in a call to The Hunter, and get him onto the clue.

The Hunter drives out to the Blues' farm and tries blowing his own horn to call the cattle home. Unfortunately, the Hunter's awful playing sends the cattle stampeding in the opposite direction, and when the Hunter gives chase he bumps into the Fox, disguised as a shepherd. The Fox offers to let the Hunter use the magic horn to call the cattle for five bucks. The Hunter agrees, but as he plays the horn, the Fox is knocked down and his disguise falls off. Papa Blues recognizes his son's horn and the Fox is captured and sent to jail.

*Now thanks to The Hunter, when the time is right, old Papa Blues would say:*

Papa Blues: Ay, Little Boy Blues, come blow your horn!

*And Blues would start to play!*

(Music)

*The cattle will come a-running fast, with no desire to roam*

*So the Blues are fine, 'cause The Hunter brought, the horn that played back home!*

(Music)

*Yes, The Hunter brought the horn back home...*

## Trivia

* The closeup of Fox holding the horn shows his arm being cut off.
* When Hunter picks up the phone, the wire disappears.
* The ending of this cartoon can be rather heart-wrenching, especially since this is the series finale. Hunter, in shambles after being stampeded on, throws his beloved and iconic horn on the ground and walks into the sunset.
* The episode is loosely based around the "Little Boy Blue" nursery rhyme.
Honor at Steak

**Honor at Steak** is the first episode of *Klondike Kat.* In this episode, Klondike Kat chases after Savoir Faire when he steals dinner.

## Story

Savior Faire gets away with Malamutt, and Klondike Kat chases after him with his dogsled. Savoir Faire decides to stop and constructs a faux train crossing. Klondike Kat sees through his sneaky trick, but an actual train ends up coming by and knocks him off course. He goes sledding on some of the barrier pieces until he crashes in front of Savoir Faire, disguised as a judge who gives Klondike Kat a trophy, or, cup, which he tosses on his head and sends him going backwards.

Savoir Faire and Malamutt proceed to stop and set up their hideout and get ready to have the steaks. Klondike Kat gets up and proceeds to go to their hideout, unaware that it is actually them. Savoir Faire dresses up as a prospector and tells Klondike Kat a shortcut to get to town, which has him fall off a cliff. However, he is saved when a branch springs him back up in the air and he crashes on the hideout, and Savoir Faire is caught.

## Trivia

* A frame before Klondike Kat runs off with the chair tied to his foot, the chair disappears.
* The flames on the candles in Savoir Faire's tent aren't colored.
* The title is a pun on "your honor is at stake".
Home Neat Home

**Home Neat Home** is the twenty-eighth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother's treasure-stealing plot is ruined by Odie Cologne.

## Story

As seen previously, Itchy brings up the legend of Leonardo the Neat to Biggy; King Leonardo's ancestor that kept the palace so tidy that he had enough to put a treasure underneath the palace, which Biggy is determined to find. In order to actually search the palace, they trash the place and tilt it so Leonardo and Odie decide to move to a hotel, getting access inside.

Itchy takes Biggy to the palace basement per request of the latter. Inside the dark dungeon, Itchy finds an "X" on the ground after lighting a lantern, so he is forced to start digging. Back at Leonardo's hotel, he is unable to get to sleep unless he has his story book, so he goes back to the palace to retrieve it. He hears the digging inside the basement. Biggy and Itchy get a plan and somehow make it out of the basement, and taunts Leonardo.

Before Leonardo can see who they are, the two make a run for it while Leonardo has to chase them since he has no men. Soon, the two villains open a door and trick Leonardo to fall in it. Getting concern about the king, Odie goes to the palace and cries for the king. Biggy takes care of Odie and throws him out into the muddy moat. This proves to be useful though, as the mud made him so black he is practically invisible in the dark. He uses this as a trick to hit both Itchy and Biggy with the shovel, and both of them think he is the ghost of Leonardo the Neat. The treasure is saved and the two are caught. The treasure is revealed to be a dustpan and broom, which is put to use by the two villains to clean up the palace.

## Trivia

* Leonardo's two guards are seen at the end with a redesign: they wear a white shirt with yellow ribbon, with a red hat with a spike on it.
* Biggy's chain ball is red like the dustpan, while Itchy's is a normal color (grayish blue).
No Bong Bongos

**No Bong Bongos** is the twenty-ninth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, Bongo Congo's drums are losing their "bong".

## Story

Nearly all of the bongo drums used around the world came from the very factory in Bongo Congo for years, and they were all perfect. But all of a sudden, there was no longer any "bong" in the bongos. This was noted in a New York club, and a coffee shop, as well as during an orchestra performance.

The news reaches to King Leonardo sooner or later. Odie Cologne lets three men inside his throne room, all three angry that their bongo drums produce no noise, and blame it on the king. All three also throw their bongo drums on Leonardo. Odie helps Leonardo who finds this unheard of, but he taps on a drum to find it is true and wonders how it happened. As it turns out, it is due to the two traitors, Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother, who are working in the drum factory. They lift each drum over the water that shrinks the bongo drums' skins. Eventually, they figure they do enough and leave the factory. While they move, Itchy sings a conga song that ends up getting Biggy in the assembly line, and he is made into a drum (though he gets out and hits Itchy).

Eventually, Leonardo and Odie discover the incident in the factory, where they determine that someone had been deliberately keeping the tightening water away from the skins, which doesn't make them shrink for noise. Leonardo is glad the problem is solved, but it actually isn't: since no one can trust their products, no one will buy them, resulting in no money for the kingdom and the subjects. Meanwhile, Biggy is making his own bongo-selling business.

## Trivia

* "Beardland" is a fictional club as just seen in this episode. This also goes with "The Last Drop" coffee shop that is supposedly in Greenwich Village, New York.
* All three of the men who come in Leonardo's palace are all the same, except one wears glasses.
* Odie says "No bong in the bongos" when he hits one in the factory, although, that bongo actually makes a sound. The sound could've been placed for emphasis, though.
The Rat Race

**The Rat Race** is the forty-sixth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, King Leonardo and Itchy Brother race in a go-kart event.

## Story

As seen previously, Leonardo's go-kart from America arrives, and he has such a thrill riding it in his palace that he pushes go-karts in Bongo Congo, which becomes a pastime in the kingdom. Leonardo joins the car race in Indianapolis, with the first prize being 100,000 Bongo Bucks. Biggy Rat and Itchy see this as an opportunity, so Itchy joins the race.

Before the race, Leonardo and Itchy do some adjustments on their go-karts with help of their assistants, Odie Cologne and Biggie respectively. Odie is fixing a widget of Leonardo's go-kart which is supposed to increase Leonardo's speed. And Biggie gives Itchy a box of tacks to throw out when Leonardo gets too close. The race begins. Leonardo makes it to the second pit stop, where Odie is still fixing the widget. Biggy hooks Leonardo's car up to a hook which prevents him from driving any further. Odie cuts it free, but Leonardo is stopped again when Itchy throws the tacks on the ground, deflating his tires.

Odie gets him fixed, but tells him that the widget will still be getting fixed until the next stop. Quickly, as Leonardo continues driving, Biggy closes the road which makes it appears as a curve. Leonardo takes it and crashes inside a garage. Now 40 laps behind, Leonardo has very little chance of winning. Biggy then stops him again, this time dressed as a police officer and scolding him for speeding over the speed limit. Odie, however, sees through his disguise and throws a wrench at him. Luckily, the widget is now fixed, so Leonardo starts driving so fast around the track, he ends up getting up to first place in absolutely no time and winning.

## Trivia

* This episode is similar to *Black is White*, where Leonardo races Itchy Brother but on horses.
* For a short frame when Odie rolls Leonardo's kart out, the wheels go to the left side of the screen.
The Big Race

**The Big Race** is the twentieth episode of *Klondike Kat.* In this episode, Savoir Faire and Klondike Kat compete in a sled race.

## Story

Major Minor and another Klondike Kop overhear Klondike Kat working on something for the sled race. Klondike Kat is sure his motor sled will win the race this year, after Savoir Faire beats the race each year with his fast sled and dog, Malamutt.

At the start of the race, Savoir Faire already knows he's going to win and wants the trophy right now, but Klondike Kat shows him his motor sled. Savoir Faire fears. Just as the announcer shoots his gun, Savoir Faire points it to Klondike Kat's motor which results in a hole in it.

Nevertheless, they progress on. Savoir Faire throws a huge rock in the path and covers it with snow to make it look like a snowball. Klondike Kat, thinking it is a snowball he can easily plow through, crashes in the rock. Savoir Faire and Malamutt's next trick is setting up a gas station, where they deliberately sabotage Klondike Kat's motor altogether, and replace it with a rocket and even shoot him the opposing side. However, he turns back around and blasts at the finishing line. Unfortunately, Klondike Kat hadn't won, because rockets aren't allowed.

## Trivia

* This is the first, but not the last time Savoir Faire succeeds.
* In the shot where Klondike Kat rocks with the motor after he turns it on, his muzzle keeps flashing white. It is also seen white just when he sees the mountain.
Secret Weapon

**Secret Weapon** is the second episode of *Klondike Kat.* In this episode, Klondike Kat attempts to shoot Savoir Faire with his huge secret weapon.

## Story

Klondike Kat nails many wanted posters of Savoir Faire, but they keep disappearing. Eventually, after much play, Savoir Faire reveals himself as the one who is tricking Klondike Kat. Klondike Kat decides to get after Savoir Faire with his "secret weapon".

Klondike Kat sleds his giant gun-like weapon up to a cliff, where he can spot the hideout of the villain. Savoir Faire however, digs a huge trail going from the back of the weapon, and holds it up using a shovel. When Klondike Kat spots Savoir Faire and Malamutt (in reality, they are both cardboard cutouts), he shoots at them, and ends up sledding all the way downwards after Savoir Faire removes the shovel. It ends with Klondike Kat crashing back at Fort Frazzle, much to the confusion of Major Minor.

Klondike Kat tries again, but this time Savoir Faire puts freezing water in the hole, so it blasts off and lands in Fort Frazzle. Klondike Kat returns with the weapon, and puts TNT inside. Although, Savoir Faire stuffs Klondike Kat in the hole and blasts him, but after some bouncing off, Klondike Kat bumps into Savoir Faire again and catches him.

## Trivia

* The posters spell "Savoir Fare".
* The second time Klondike Kat nails the wanted poster on the tree, it can still be seen even after the rip. Also, the tree is colored differently.
* The final shot with Savoir Faire has a frame where a spot of grey can be seen outside the outline.
* This cartoon's clips are seen in the second part of the second cartoon opening.
* Savoir Faire hums "Alouette".
Hup-2-3-Hike

**Hup-2-3-Hike** is the eighty-first episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, King Leonardo challenges Itchy Brother to a hundred mile hiking race.

## Story

Leonardo listens to his favorite music record, until Odie Cologne comes up to him with news. However, Leonardo is more interested in the tune and even begins marching to it, until Odie stops the player. Odie fears that a troublesome plot is brewing. He shows Leonardo to some messages written around the area that insult the King's physique.

One sign says "ITCHY BROTHER HAS BIGGER MUSCLES", which goes to show that it was the two villains who are spreading these messages. And it was certainly, because Biggy Rat tells a big group of people about Leonardo being weak and how Itchy has stronger muscles. Leonardo marches up to their booth and challenges Itchy to a hundred mile hike. Itchy is reluctant, but Biggy silences him. Leonardo pinpoints the time, tomorrow at dawn. He and Odie get ready, while meanwhile so do Biggy and Itchy, visiting their pal Professor Messer.

Professor Messer, donning a German look, had invented something new: rocket-powered roller skates. Itchy and Messer talk to each other in German accents and also start singing, much to the annoyance of Biggy who slams their heads into each other. Messer demonstrates how they work and put them on Itchy's feet. Itchy blasts around the workshop until Messer stops him. Biggy wants something else, so Messer shows them a boot with a spring on it. Itchy gives it a try, but he begins jumping out of control. Nevertheless, Biggy makes sure to fix them so Leonardo loses.
Mystifying McBragg

**Mystifying McBragg** is the thirty-first episode of *The World of Commander McBragg.* In this episode, Commander McBragg recalls a tricky escape in a mailbox underwater.

## Story

McBragg's story occurs when he was an escape artist. He went into a secured mailbox that would be dumped into rivers, and McBragg managed to escape every time flawlessly. One day, at Hudson River, when McBragg sinks to the bottom, an octopus gives him trouble as it tightens around the mailbox and blows ink inside. McBragg writes a note using the ink and sends it up to the surface, and a postman gets it. McBragg is blown out of the water with the octopus.

The Royal Race

**The Royal Race** is the ninety-third episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother visit Professor Messer for a cheating boat for the royal yacht race.

## Story

Bongo Bay was alive with activity, as sailboats skimmed across the land practicing for the royal yacht race, even though everyone knew Odie Cologne and King Leonardo would win since they were considered the best sailors. Meanwhile, at the hideout of Biggy and Itchy, Itchy reads about the upcoming race in the paper. Biggy doesn't care until he mentions the golden cup being worth 50,000 Bongo Bucks.

Because Biggy's motto is that winners don't win, they cheat, they visit Professor Messer who of course has another persona. Messer takes them to the boat yards and introduces them to a boat called "Flip Flap Flop Flying Fish". Itchy gets in and starts the boat up, making its sail flap likes two wings. It takes off in the water, but due to an error it doesn't stop.

Professor Messer then shows them to the "Australian Crawler", which works fine but isn't a sailboat, and Biggy needs one. Messer shows them The Windjammer, with a built in fan to blow wind but it blows the sail off. Biggy scolds Messer to give him a genuine sailboat without any failure, so Messer gives them a boat that looks like an actual sailboat, when in reality it is controlled by a submarine underwater.

## Trivia

Secondly, McBragg tries to use the bicycle pedal method, and despite still not flying, McBragg gets into a bicycle race and wins. Instead of giving up, McBragg successfully makes a plane that flies using energy from the sun, but ends up falling into a deep hole when the sun is blocked. And unfortunately, he reads the news that Wilbur and Orville Wright had taken off.

Hunter goes to the stadium in a disguise selling hot dogs. A man asks for two so Hunter gives him two hot dogs, but the frankfurters once again disappear, resulting in the angry man to bash The Hunter with his frankfurter container.

**Treasure Train** is the eighty-ninth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, King Leonardo and Odie Cologne plan to move their gold to the Sierra Bongo Mountain vaults.

## Story

Counting his gold, Leonardo tells Odie that he doesn't think it's safe keeping the supply in cigar boxes, due to Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother. He thinks to take it somewhere and bury it like it is done in the USA, and wants Odie to come up with a plan. Leonardo accidentally bumps into his pile of boxes, and they all fall down and now Leonardo has to start back counting to number 1.

That afternoon, Odie and Leonardo view the plan, to take the gold high in the vaults of Sierra Bongo Mountain and travel by railroad. Odie also suggests hiding the gold someplace secret in the train. Leonardo proceeds to pull the shades on his windows down and to move with secrecy, but secrecy doesn't matter now, for Itchy had hid his head in a painting and now knows the plan.

Itchy reports to Biggy, so Biggy converses a plan to not just take the gold, but to take the entire train. His plot involves taking the train when it goes into an abandoned mine, and sticking up the King and Odie. The two creep over to the engineer and conductor who were standing by the train and snatch their uniforms. Biggy goes into the train and Itchy stands out and meets Leonardo and Odie. Leonardo is positive he had seen the conductor somewhere before. Itchy claims that he just looks like a "character from TV". Leonardo is still skeptical, but they hop on the train anyway

Eventually, Hunter is pushed off and makes it inside the Ivy League Club where he finds headlines printed on a ticket taper machine. The colleagues inside tell Hunter that the news comes from the Stock Exchange. Hunter heads over there with guns, scaring everyone inside the building away, and catching The Fox.

## Story

It was a hard year for King Leonardo and Odie Cologne. Villains Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother tried one way or another to get rid of Leonardo and take over Bongo Congo, but nothing ever worked. It may have seemed they had given up, but they haven't. In their hideout, Biggy tries coming up with another plan, but Itchy isn't listening because he's reading a book about a cowardly lion. That gives Biggy an idea. Leonardo challenges Itchy to a fight, and if he loses, they get the kingdom. However, Biggy comes up with a plan to be sure he gets clobbered.

Leonardo is unaware of this, until Odie comes in and tells him that people around the kingdom are saying Leonardo is a coward. They check this out and see all kinds of graffiti that states that Leonardo is a coward. They find Itchy and Biggy in town telling a group of people about Leonardo being a scaredy-cat, and how a real king would be brave and willing to fight.

Itchy declares (with the help of Biggy) that he challenges his royal brother to a fight, and Leonardo accepts. Itchy himself is the real coward, but with a little threatening, Biggy gets him to say "I'll fight!". Biggy tells Leonardo to wait, and says the fight is tomorrow, and will be an "all of the above" fight. Later, Biggy goes over the evil plan with Itchy once more in their hideout, and introduces "Terrible Tim", a thug who is bigger than both of them. Biggy is sure they will get the kingdom, as Leonardo would either run away, or lose nonetheless.

Rocky Manonoff and his henchman Pretzel rob a bank and get away with the money in a plane. Unfortunately, the box of money ends up falling into the Lost Mountains. Pretzel thinks it's done for, because no one can dive in the mountains, but Rocky decides to put a paper in the ad for skydivers to do so.

Meanwhile, Tennessee and Chumley do some diving at their pool. Tennessee is surprised to see an ad for "diving" in the paper, so he and Chumley go to Rocky's apartments where they are hired on the spot. To their surprise, the "diving" the paper talked about was skydiving, not pool diving. Tennessee and Chumley realize they should go see Mr. Whoopee. Whoopee explains to them how to make a parachute out of a napkin, and how parachuters do their jobs. However, he says that parachuting is for emergency purposes only and the two should not do it.

They decide to take his advice and go back to Megapolis Zoo, but they bump into Rocky who threatens to shoot. Tennessee and Chumley have no choice but to skydive into the mountains. The job manages to be successful, but Tennessee and Chumley are a bit worn out and want to stay in the basket Rocky picks them up, whereas he wants them to climb up to the plane. Rocky climbs down to the basket which causes it to fall right into the police station. Tennessee and Chumley are heroes, but are now in the hospital.

* Rocky Manonoff's apartment is addressed in the newspaper ad, the police officers could've just went over there and arrested him. In fact, it's questionable on how a wanted criminal even got an ad in the paper (though, he could've put it in there without authorization).
* Tennessee says "let's get dressed and sneak out of here". In reality, they go in town with nothing on - even without the swimming shorts they wore at the pool.
* This is the first time Rocky Maninoff calls Pretzel "Jerk" just like Tennessee calls Chumley "Dimwitted Walrus".

After their unsuccessful attempt to get rid of them using a big homemade bomb, they visit Mr. Whoopee who tells them about insecticide. At first they try to use sprayers, but then use a tractor with insecticide that Chumley and Yak end up butchering. The bugs disappear when it explodes, but so do the trees.

The Sing-a-Long Family

***The Sing-a-Long Family*** is an American animated Total Television Productions series that appeared on the CBS Saturday morning cartoon *The Beagles* in 1966. It is the shortest-running series from TTV in terms of episodes. Because of the series' rarity, not much can be confirmed about the show, like if there were more episodes that were aired besides three. The shorts were also seen on syndicated reruns of *Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales* and *The Underdog Show.*

## Summary

In a style that can be compared to "bouncing ball" sing-a-long cartoons, each 90 second short is a musical song performed by Buck Biggers and stars an undisclosed family consisting of a father, a mother, an assortment of four children, and a white dog that looks identical to Howler from Tennessee Tuxedo. These characters never speak, as all the vocals are provided by Biggers. In each song, the family is seen doing an activity that ultimately results in pratfalls one member to another. At the bottom of the screen, are written sing a long lyrics as well.

## Episodes

1. Nothing Like a Picnic
2. Skating's Such Fun to Do
3. When the Fair Comes to Your Town

## Trivia

* It is also uncertain where the cartoons originated from. Some sources say the series could've came about in 1963 with the premiere of *Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales*, or even possibly in 1964 with *The Underdog Show.* however it had also been stated the cartoons were from 1966, the same year *The Beagles* was released. It had also been believed they were from 1962.
* Allegedly, 13 more cartoons were planned, but according to Mark Arnold, the amount of whatever were done, were done.

### Part 2 (#22 - 12/12/1964)

Underdog is shrunk by Simon's new evil device and is placed alongside Polly in a birdcage. Luckily, our hero's powers are still useful and they break out of the cage.

Simon and Cad return to the lab only to be tripped up by a trap set by Underdog and Polly. Simon reverses the trap, and catches the pair inside of a rat hole. An army of rats soon corners Polly and Underdog.
