## Story

The Fox steals all the city's bean crops and sets up a stand where he sells them, claiming that they are "magic beans" from Jack's beanstalk. Meanwhile, the Hunter's landlord kicks him out of the office and shuts his business down because he hasn't been able to pay the rent.

In desperation, the Hunter sends Horace to buy food with their last dollar. On the way to the store, Horace comes upon the Fox's crooked bean stand and is tricked into buying a jar of "magic beans." The Hunter is angered by this and drags Horace back to the stand to demand a refund, but the Fox guarantees that the beans will grow into a magic beanstalk, so the Hunter agrees to give the beans a try. During the night, the Fox plants a green-painted telephone pole in the Hunter's yard. The next morning, the Hunter tries to climb his new "beanstalk", but it all comes crashing down - right on the Fox's bean stand.

## Trivia

As McBragg searches for the kangaroo alone, he manages to find him. Right off the bat, the kangaroo gets ready to fight McBragg, and McBragg does the same to fight the kangaroo. The kangaroo is surely strong, and had lots of power in his right fist. After beating McBragg up, the kangaroo gets ready for an uppercut that would surely be the end of McBragg. Although, with quick thinking, McBragg holds a log up which the kangaroo punches. The log splinters in pieces that fly up in the air, and back down creating a perfect cell to trap the kangaroo.

"One might say, Commander, you really boxed him in!"

## Trivia

## Story

Stanley Livingston proceeds to redecorate his office with new wallpaper because the mayor is visiting next week. He calls in Tennessee to tell the zoo the news. Tennessee reluctantly runs around with Chumley telling the animals the news, which not only wears him out but is also troublesome on its own, as he falls down a hole and a tree falls on him that The Beaver Brothers cut down.

After that, Yakkety Yak and Baldy visit Tennessee's quarters where Tennessee discusses an alternate way to spread news around the zoo. Yak, Baldy, and Chumley suggest broadcasting it, but Tennessee suggests a newspaper. After some name suggestions, Tennessee decides to call it the "Tennessee Tablet". After that, Tennessee and Chumley escape the zoo to talk to Mr. Whoopee.

Mr. Whoopee tells them how papers are printed, typically using a printing press. And fortunately since the zoo is small, they only need a small press to make little copies, which he has on hand. Tennessee gives Yak and Baldy instructions on what they need to do, and also tells Chumley that he needs to get paper. Chumley takes the large package of wallpaper outside of Stanley's office which is left out. It's not long until Stanley goes over to Tennessee's habitat and scolds him for using his paper, and chases him and Chumley.

## Trivia

* "Tennessee" is misspelled on the title card.
* Despite Tennessee telling the three that "personalities are kept out" of the paper's title when each suggest a title with their name in it, he still names the newspaper after himself.

## Trivia

* There's a sign inside of Adam's Bomb Factory that says "No smoking on these premises". Tap Tap naturally breaks this rule, but so does Adam who has a cigar (although he is seen just tapping the ash out).
	+ Speaking of which, for a brief second, the smoke from Tap Tap's cigar goes to the left side of the screen in the second shot.
* Polly's TV studio is named TTV.
Try, Try Again

**Try, Try Again** is the fifty-second episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother try slowing King Leonardo down from achieving his dream of climbing Big Rock Candy Mountain.

This is the last cartoon from the first season.

## Story

As seen previously, Leonardo wants to do something amazing to get Bongo Congo's name really out there. He tried flying the highest anyone had ever flew in the air and also tried touching the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, but both of those things failed. But he saw a chance in the newspaper, offering $100,000 for the first person to touch the top of Big Rock Candy Mountain. In fact, so did Biggy and Itchy.

Leonardo and Odie Cologne make it to the town of Outspoke at the base of the mountain, and stop at the "In Out Inn". The hotelkeeper welcomes them and makes a joke that climbing Big Rock Candy Mountain is "sticky business", since rock candy is considered sticky. They are shown to their room. Biggy and Itchy decide to make sure that the two don't get a head start on climbing, so later that night they re-set the alarm clock to 10 when it was targeted at 6, and glue their hiking boots to the ground.

The two villains get climbing when Leonardo and Odie wake up and hurry out of bed. When they get their shoes on they are stuck to the floor, so they have to walk with floorboards on their feet. And to make things even more "sticky", Biggy and Itchy dump molasses over the trail. Unfortunately, for the King and Odie, they make it up the wrong Rock Candy Mountain. Leonardo becomes flappable, but Odie has an idea and tells him to "bend over". Leonardo does so and Odie gets the attention of an unfriendly mountain goat, which rams into Leonardo and sends him flying to the top of Big Rocky Candy Mountain. Itchy nearly gets to the top but gets kicked accidentally by Leonardo, sending him and Biggy back to the sticky trail. Honor and glory was brought to the little kingdom of Bongo Congo.
Two Gun Turtle

**Two Gun Turtle** is the first episode of *Tooter Turtle.* In this episode, Tooter becomes a cowboy.

## Story

While sitting with Mr. Wizard with tea, Tooter says he would appreciate if Mr. Wizard would make him a cowboy, since he feels like a "two gun type". So, Mr. Wizard transports him to the wild west long ago.

Back a long time ago, sheriffs had enemies whom carried big guns. Tooter's rival, Black Bark, shoots at Tooter with his gun, as well as covers him in sand with his passing fat horse, and also explodes him with a dynamite stick. Fortunately, sheriffs also had deputies. Tooter's deputy reckons that he needs a marshal, so he goes off crying for "Mr. Melon" (this will be a running gag in this cartoon). A sheriff also went bravely to places where even they knew there was danger. Tooter enters a saloon and sticks his guns out at Black Bark, but Black Bark gives him a beating instead. The two cowboys shoot at each other and injure some bystanders as they both miss each other, then gets away on his horse.

Tooter chases Black Bark on his horse and tries jumping to the horse of Black Bark, but misses. Sheriffs know about shortcuts as well to get them closer to their enemy, although the shortcut Tooter takes leads him off a cliff. While the villain would hide behind a rock with a gun to do what is called the "empty gun trick", the sheriff would count the shots then proceed to attack when the gun is apparently empty. However, Tooter gets shot by Black Bark even after what was supposed to be the sixth and final shot. Tooter sticks his hat up from his side of the rocks and sneaks over to Black Bark's side, however, another crook shoots Tooter's marshal and then aims his gun at Tooter. Tooter cries for Mr. Wizard, who sends him out of this place.

## Trivia

* As Tooter counts the gunshots, his arms are drawn like he has long sleeves on, despite not.
* When Tooter sets his rifle down and his hat is on it, the hat loses all other parts beside the main part with the star.

The first thing Tooter has to do is report to the foreman. The rude foreman accepts Tooter, although tells him not to make any mistakes. Tooter enters the elevator to take him up which makes him collapse on the ground when he reaches the top (riding with another worker). It is important for construction workers to keep perfect balance since they are so high in the air, and especially not to look down. Tooter looks down and horrifies himself, holding on a beam and shaking, but he drops his wrench on the foreman's head, so in return the foreman tosses a hammer.

The riveter man creates rivets fresh and hot which are tossed up. Instead of appropriately catching them with a pocket, Tooter grabs it with his hands and gets burned, and the hot rivet lands in the foreman's pants. Tooter tries using the air hammer but also drops that on the foreman too. The foreman berates him and tells him that he'll be off the building if he makes another mistake. Unfortunately, Tooter drops cement on the foreman, resulting in the foreman to chase him on the skyscraper beams. Tooter tries talking to him but falls off a beam on his own. He cries for Mr. Wizard to come to the rescue.

In 1917, the Germans under the command of the Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski, were cleaning up the air with his Messerschmitts, shooting down the Americans. Soon, there were no more American pilots besides Tooter, who is hired on the spot. One thing pilots wore were long brown silk scarfs. Tooter arrives the next morning at his plane and scarf which gets stuck on a point. Nonetheless, Tooter begins flying but the scarf wraps around his face, which he thinks is just fog. As a result, he crashes in trees and a barn, and merely misses a mountain as the scarf unwraps.

Erich von Bach tells the Germans that he will bring Tooter down. The two pilots circle around the air and shoot at each other for a while, although ultimately, since Erich had more experience than Tooter, he gets more shoots in Tooter's plane than Tooter himself is, even though Tooter knew what he was doing. Eventually, the plane is shot down to nearly nothing and Tooter falls, crying to Mr. Wizard to save him. He swirls back home.

## Trivia

* While there is unsurprisingly no animation for Tooter turning the plane around when he is dangling upside down, the plane just disappears entirely.

The following day, at the Bongo Airport, Itchy and Biggy board the same plane to Hollywood as Leonardo and Odie.

Eventually, a lady whacks Big John with a frying pan.

Tooter comes to a fork in the road, and using a penny to determine which way to go, he leads the wagons off a cliff. Tooter says that they'll have to camp in the hole tonight, although Big John says that a place like that is perfect for Indians to attack. While Tooter laughs, a large group of Indians do attack, so the wagon wheelers block themselves in a circle with wagons.

Nevertheless, McBragg and the knight continue fighting until McBragg is taken to a cliff with a thousand foot fall. The Black Knight lifts his sword and slice McBragg into two - or not, because he just slices McBragg's armor; McBragg had escaped and manages to capture The Black Knight secretly.

But, to make the job worse for Leonardo, he has to go on a camping trip with the team, and also try to be the best as it is also a contest.

At dawn, Duke and Earl find Leonardo still sleeping in his bed. They use their loud group yell to not just wake him up, but they also startle him greatly with it and he trips on a chair. Duke and Earl brush him off. Now that he was alert and awake, he was ready to start the camping trip. But right away, he trips on a rock and falls, so the scouts brush him off. Leonardo also tries to show them the best ways to cross a stream (resulting in him falling in), and also creeping silently in the forest (he bumps loudly into a tree). Both times, he is brushed off by the group.

Then when Leonardo shows them how to pitch a tent, woodsmen style with a rock for a hammer, he ends up hitting his thumb with the rock. Duke and Earl call for bandages. More incidents resulting in bandages occur throughout the journey: when Leonardo tries explaining the best way to keep their food safe by hanging it up on a tree branch resulting in it to fall on him, when he chops a tree down and it falls on him, and also when he starts a fire and burns his foot. But this turns out to be worth it, since the Wolf scouts win the first prize for best first aid.

* This is the only second-part episode that doesn't end with the narrator asking something along the general lines of if Biggy and Itchy will return, or anything else besides "Don't miss the next exciting episode of *The King and Odie!*"
Total Television Productions

**Total Television Productions,** or *Total Television* or simply shortened to "TTV", was an American animation studio founded in 1959 by Buck Biggers, Chester "Chet" Stover, Joe Harris, and Treadwell D. Covington. They were executives in the advertising agency Dancer Fitzgerald Sample who had the account for *General Mills*, from there, TTV was formed to create mascot characters for General Mills and their cereal brands.

In 1960, TTV moved on to produce their first animated series: *King Leonardo and His Short Subjects*, which debuted for NBC's 1960 Saturday morning lineup and involved a set of four cartoons in one half hour show. Following the success of that series, TTV went on to produce a series of other shows and cartoons the rest of the 1960's decade, arguably the most iconic being *The Underdog Show* in 1964. The animation work for these animated series were done by *Gamma Productions,* who did most of the animation for Jay Ward's own shows such as *Rocky and Bullwinkle*. Even though Ward and TTV weren't related, it wasn't uncommon for their two works to be mistakenly grouped together due to their similarities.

TTV folded up in 1969, after being unsuccessful to sell another series after their final half-hour work for CBS' 1966 Saturday morning lineup, *The Beagles.* One of these in particular was "The Colossal Show", a Rome-styled animated comedy with a comic book being the only thing released out of it.

The two Gopher Indians realize they need scrawls to help them. Colonel and Sergeant disguise as two lady scrawls and they get chased by Running Board and Ruffled Feather, eventually making it to the teepee trap. However, Ruffled Feather sees The Colonel's pants underneath his dress. Luckily, the Gophers outsmart the two officers and trap them inside, then throw them down a cliff.

## Trivia

* This is the first time we see the Gophers being unusually hostile to each other.
* When Running Board hands his clothes to Ruffled Feather, his arm is cut off. There are also two frames with his sleeve uncolored, which is also an error on its own considering he just took his shirt off.
Two Beneath the Mast

**Two Beneath the Mast** is the fifty-eighth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, King Leonardo and Odie Cologne hurry after Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother who had found King Leonard's treasure.

## Story

As seen previously, Itchy had a clue to finding the treasure of King Leonard, the past king who had hid it during a war between Bongo Congo and Koco Loco in 1752. It was an ode that was in code, so to figure out what it said, the two villains capture Odie Cologne, who has the "Odie Decoder", and use it to find that the treasure is on Oak Island. So they go sailing in a ship to the island.

Luckily, Odie Cologne gets himself free by biting the rope, and he tells Leonardo what is happening. Leonardo gets into his yachting clothes and they board the royal yacht. At that moment, Biggy and Itchy make it to Oak Island and step in front of an oak tree. After digging, they find the treasure chest. Meanwhile, Leonardo says he can't see anything because a tree is blocking his view, when in reality it is the mast. Leonardo spots them sailing their way, after witnessing Itchy have anchor trouble.

Biggy demands Itchy to light their cannon, but the cannon faces the wrong way and it shoots to Biggy. Nevertheless, afterwards the two have a furious cannonball fight, however Biggy and Itchy seem to be doing more damage than Leonardo and Odie. Leonardo blames Odie and tries to shoot at Biggy and Itchy himself, but he is pointing the cannon too high and the ball shoots at the heroes' mast. Fortunately, it falls but it falls on Biggy and Itchy and pins them down. They are caught, but like always, Biggy still threatens with a new scheme.

## Trivia

* There were three cannonball holes in Leonardo and Odie's ship, but at the shot of the boat before it cuts to Biggy and Itchy tied up, there are two.
The Monster Bear

**The Monster Bear** is the sixteenth episode of *The World of Commander McBragg.* In this episode, Commander McBragg battles a polar bear.

## Story

McBragg recalls when a storm blew him off course, and his boat hits a rock. It starts sinking into the freezing water, so McBragg quickly climbs up his mast and manages to catch the feet of a passing seagull which takes him to Aurora Borealis Island. He spots bear tracks, and fears since he has no weapons. McBragg creates a crude slingshot using a piece of stick and part of his suspenders. He meets the polar bear who swings him to a corner. When trapped, McBragg starts crying when thinking of his mother, and his tears freeze to ice. He uses them to blind the bear.

"Oh, Commander, you *bear-ly* made it!"

## Trivia

* Aurora on the map is misspelled as "Arrora".
The Orient Express

**The Orient Express** is the forty-eighth and final episode of *The World of Commander McBragg.* In this episode, Commander McBragg recalls when he outsmarted enemies on The Orient Express.

## Story

McBragg gets on The Orient Express from Istanbul to Paris, carrying a secret message within a secret ring on his finger, figuring that enemies would try to stop him. When he settles in his compartment, an explosive is thrown in his window and explodes, but McBragg shields it with his newspaper made of steel. A second attack occurs in the dining cart and the train goes in a tunnel. When he is shot at in the dark, McBragg is in reality up on top of the train. Finally, as McBragg heads to bed, another enemy shoots at him. But calculating the bullet quickly, McBragg dodges it with his ring and the bullet heads back to the enemy's gun. McBragg stops him.

"Commander, that story has a certain familiar ring to it."
Klondike Kat

***Klondike Kat*** is an American animated *Total Television Productions* series that aired as part of the CBS Saturday morning cartoon *The Beagles* in 1966. It was also later reran on *The Underdog Show* and *Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales*.

## Summary

The series is a "cat-and-mouse" stylized cartoon (a la *Tom and Jerry)* taking place in the Klondike Canada region. The eponymous Klondike Kat is a Mountie and answers to his boss Major Minor at Fort Frazzle. The Klondike region is always terrorized by the notorious Savoir Faire, a French-Canadian mouse that steals any type of food. Savoir Faire also has a dog companion named Malamutt that moves his sled and assists him, especially to get Klondike Kat off his trail. Likewise with most cat-and-mouse cartoons, Klondike Kat's contraptions and plans to get Savoir Faire usually backfire on him, and Savoir Faire gets away for the most part. Except, unlike many of the cat-and-mouse genre, the cat wins as each episode ends with Klondike Kat catching Savoir Faire (with the signature "Klondike Kat always gets his mouse!").

Indian Treasure

**Indian Treasure** is the seventeenth episode of *Go Go Gophers.* In this episode, Colonel Kit Coyote and Sergeant Okey Homa go on a treasure hunt.

## Story

Ruffled Feather is painting a picture, a treasure map which will fool the Colonel. Running Board laughs at this idea with Ruffled Feather. As Colonel and Sergeant travel down the path with their horses, the Gophers throw the rock down and it hits Colonel in the head.

Sergeant and Colonel take a look at the map and figure that it is the map for the lost Indian treasure. Sergeant can't make out the subtle pictures of the "map" and mentions that the only Indians who could are the Gophers, and of course they aren't friendly. The Gophers walk up to the two, disguised as a map reader and in a trench coat-like costume, and tells them the way. Sergeant and Colonel first climb up a cliff, and after much struggle the Gophers whack their hands when they get to the ledge.

Next, the two have to cross a swift river. Using a raft they try to cross and get to a tree, but the Gophers toss a huge boulder at them and they sink. When they get to the tree, which brings them up to the treasure, the Gophers chop it down. At last, the Sergeant and Colonel get to the treasure chest. Sergeant reads that they can't open the treasure until Christmas, but Colonel brings up that "sergeants can open gifts before Christmas". When he opens the chest, explosions occur.

## Trivia

* When Sergeant climbs, his tail keeps disappearing.
The Lamplighters

**The Lamplighters** is the third episode of *Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales.* In this episode, Tennessee Tuxedo wants his habitat to be more lit up more.

## Story

Tennessee complains about the lack of light in the habitat while he tries to read, one small bulb on the ceiling that doesn't reach the bottom. He decides to get closer to the light, stacking boxes. He asks Chumley to throw his reading up, however Chumley decides to climb the stack and it comes down. Tennessee and Chumley get a big log and burn it, which gives them light.

Meanwhile, Stanley Livingston had just finished his Empire State Building model made of toothpicks, but unfortunately he goes flying and ruins it when Flunky opens the door on him to tell him about the fire at Tennessee's habitat. Before Tennessee and Chumley realize, they are drenched with firehoses. Stanley berates them, saying that they can't read and improve their minds because they are penguins and walruses. Tennessee decides to make his own light, despite being oblivious. This results in the homemade bulb he makes to explode and black out the habitat. They decide to go visit Mr. Whoopee, and quickly get out as Stanley and Flunky search in the dark habitat.

Mr. Whoopee explains to them a brief history of torches and candles, and how Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, which at first took many tries until he used bamboo. Tennessee is ready to make a light, but Whoopee says that only trained professionals should work around electricity. Tennessee and Chumley proceed to go buy a lamp from the store which gives them light. When Chumley asks why didn't they do this sooner, Tennessee tells him because to learn about electric lights and asks if he wants to be ignorant. Chumley knocks the lamp over while walking backwards.

## Trivia

* Flunkey's voice sounded like a kid
* When Chumley says "Wow!" inside Mr. Whoopee's room, he sounded like Tony the Tiger
The Man in the Moon

**The Man in the Moon** is the eighth episode arc of *The Beagles.* In these series of episodes, Stringer and Tubby are blasted off in a rocket.

## Story

### Part 1 (#27 - 12/10/1966)

Scotty brings Stringer and Tubby to the stage in Central Park, where he says thousands will come to listen to them perform. They get up on the stage to play their newest song, *Thanks to the Man in the Moon*. However, Scotty believes they need to get the word out so people come, and he already has an idea.

The three go to the space agency where Scotty asks the colonel there to dress The Beagles up in space suits and make them pretend they're going to take a trip to the moon. However, the colonel throws them out after the absurd idea. They visit the army general and even the president and they also kick them out. Luckily, Scotty reads on a newspaper about Professor X who has a private rocket. The Beagles and Scotty make it over there and just as things go well, Scotty accidentally pulls the lever of the rocket while trying to take their picture, so Stringer and Tubby are blasted off.

### Part 2 (#28 - 12/10/1966)

Scotty fears about the rocket blasting off, because they haven't recorded the song yet. Meanwhile, Tubby wakes up while Stringer is still unconscious, confused on where they are. He walks out the rocket and can't make himself reach back. Eventually, Stringer wakes up and saves him with a rope. While they fiddle with the controls to get ahold of someone, Professor X and Scotty come on the radio and are hooked to a nationwide broadcast. Scotty demands they record their song, so they reluctantly do. Afterwards, the ship starts spinning around, indicating that they reached the orbit of a planet. They crash on a strange planet which looks normal, but they hear a strange growl that startles them both.

### Part 3 (#29 - 12/17/1966)

The Beagles wind up in a salad of a giant, who thinks they are spies. The Beagles prove they are singers instead of spies by singing their song again.

## Trivia

* This episode can be allegedly watched on an (unknown) bootleg DVD.

**The Treasure of Sierra Bongo** is the seventy-sixth episode of *The King and Odie.* In this episode, King Leonardo and Odie Cologne, as well as a new buddy, make it to Lonesome Mine, but have to deal with bandits.

## Story

As seen previously, King Leonardo and Odie Cologne start going broke. Leonardo remembers the map that leads to the legendary diamond Lonesome Mine. On their way there, they meet Death Valley O'Daze, a prospector that too is also looking for the Mine. On their path, Odie falls down a deep hole with a mysterious tunnel.

Leonardo and O'Daze, as well as their burrow, go down the tunnel. They are met with various obstacles, pools and stalactites, but eventually they make it to a dark room. O'Daze lights his lantern and it is the legend true; Lonesome Mine and its diamonds bigger than their fists. They haul their finds on the burrow and save him from the hole.

But they are met with Pancho Bango and the Sierra Mountain Boys, which according to O'Daze, are the worst bandits in the country. They shoot at the three heroes. O'Daze demonstrates that they can't do anything, because they are violent and shoot O'Daze's hat away when he lifts it up. Fortunately, Odie has a plan. He throws a diamond to two bandits, and they fight for it and soon Pancho himself gets involved. The three sneak out and are truly successful on their journey.

## Trivia

The Ironclad

**The Ironclad** is the twenty-fourth episode of *Go Go Gophers.* In this episode, Colonel Kit Coyote tries to attack the Gophers using a battleship.

## Story

Colonel's newest, hugest, secret weapon arrives at the fort. He shows Sergeant Okey Homa that it is a battleship, known as The Unsinkable Ironclad, from the navy. Sergeant questions its usage, but Colonel already has a plan where they'll drive it on the river to the Indian camp and easily blast at the Gophers.

Ruffled Feather tells Running Board about the new secret weapon being a battleship, so the Gophers agree to build a battleship of their own. Colonel and Sergeant get on the water after Colonel christens the boat, which causes him to slide in the water resulting in Sergeant having to same him. Instantly, Sergeant spots the ship of the Gophers, so Colonel has him stop the Ironclad and he blasts at them with the cannon, sinking their ship down.

But they aren't through, Running Board and Ruffled Feather make it to the top of the Ironclad and bang hammers on it, making harsh noise for The Colonel and Sergeant. The Sergeant picks up some fire from the ship's furnace and puts it on the ceiling, and so the Gophers hop off the Ironclad's terret when their feet burn. But they still aren't done, as the Gophers start jumping on each end of the ship. When Colonel attempts to shoot at them with the cannon, the entire ship explodes when they clog the cannon.
