Perils of Penelope Pitstop (1969) s01e05 Episode Script

Help! Starring those seven rollicking rescuers: The Anthill Mob, their courageous car, Chug-a-Boom and that villain of villains, The Hooded Claw.
Penelope Pitstop, heiress to a vast fortune, is in perpetual peril from her fortune-seeking guardian, Sylvester Sneekly who, unknown to her, is really The Hooded Claw.
But foiling this fiend's foul plots are Penelope's ever-present protectors: The Anthill Mob.
I'll get you, Penelope Pitstop.
When we last saw Penelope, she was leaving for the carnival unaware that the fiendish Hooded Claw had planted a box of bomb-bons on the driver's seat of her car.
Meanwhile, The Anthill Mob is also unaware of Penelope's plight.
Where are we going on such a beautiful day, Clyde? We're going to pick up Penelope and escort her to the carnival.
Carnivals are so much fun.
But what's this? The Bully Brothers are pouring glue in the street.
I don't get it.
If you must know, nosy, I'm not taking any chances, see? Here come those meddling midgets now.
- What the - What happened? We're stuck! Now we'll never get to the carnival.
And neither will Penelope unless she finds out about those time bombs in time.
Here she comes.
Hide in that buggy, you bug-eyed Bully Brothers.
Right.
Thank goodness, it looks like Penelope is out of trouble.
But I can't say as much for those bullying Bully Brothers.
Blast! If it weren't for a shortage of evil henchmen, I'd fire you.
Now I'll have to go to the carnival myself and do a little dirty work.
Not far away, The Anthill Mob is still stuck in the street.
Come on, Chug-a-Boom, we can't let a sticky street stop us.
Look, there goes Penelope.
And there's The Hooded Claw following her.
Come on, Chuggy.
Full speed out of here! Come on, Chug-a-Boom.
Come on! Okay, Dum Dum, about face.
Right, Clyde.
Watch out, fellas.
I said about face, Dum Dum, not in the face! At least things seem to be running smoothly at the carnival.
Right, Miss Pitstop? Goodness, yes.
And I'm so glad.
Why, just being at this carnival gives little old me such a laugh.
What's going on here? This little old loop-the-loop ride isn't very much fun.
I'm having fun.
No! That fiend has Penelope looping in the loop-the-loop! Enjoying the ride, Pitstop? The Hooded Claw! What are you-all doing here? I'm here to give you the ride of your life.
In fact, the last ride of your life.
What do you mean by that, you fiend? I mean the loop-the-loop will throw you for a loop.
When the speeds reach 191 miles per hour you'll be hurtled far out into the ocean.
I've never minded ocean trips.
But your ocean trip will be one-way, Pitstop: straight down.
Is our heroine's time really up? Yes, in about seven seconds.
Is seven seconds time enough for The Anthill Mob to rescue Penelope? Or will she be hurtled into a one-way ocean trip? This is one little old ride I won't mind getting off of at all.
Look, Clyde.
There's Penelope.
Gee, she must be getting dizzy.
You'll be getting dizzy if we don't get to her in time.
Now, step on it! - Here we are, Clyde.
- You dum-dum.
This here is an airplane ride.
Why don't we fly up and get her? Yeah.
Great idea.
Come on, you guys.
Man your planes.
It's not working.
Try putting in a dime, you laughing hyena.
I get it.
They plan an air-to-air rescue.
I hope it works.
Why, it's The Anthill Mob! Don't worry, Penelope, we'll save you.
Watch out, you're getting too close! No! That loop-the-loop's knocked them for a loop! - I like this ride.
- You would.
We're gonna crash.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Step right up.
Maybe I overdid it.
Now there's only one second left.
There's only one second left.
One second left? I don't believe it.
Faster, you guys! We got to go faster! Right, Clyde.
Hurry, we got to stop that loop-the-loop.
It looks like they're gonna make it.
It stopped, Clyde.
But Penelope didn't.
She's locked in that iron car.
Is there any hope? I think so, but it means risking my hairdo.
Watch what I do with this little old hairpin.
Free! She means free fall! The Anthill Mob will save her.
Correction.
The Hooded Claw.
I never thought you'd save me.
Save you? You've got to be kidding.
Then what are you gonna do with little old me? Drop you.
What else? You'll be a mess on the midway.
There's only a thread of a chance for Penelope.
And I intend to grab it.
What a gal.
That thread is slowing Penelope's fall.
Blast! This isn't supposed to happen to villains.
Well, thanks to your pants Penelope can enjoy the rest of the carnival.
The Tunnel of Love.
How romantic.
Penelope, wait for us.
Isn't this beautiful? Look, fellas, there's Sleeping Beauty.
Yeah.
Just like in the fairy tale.
Knock off with the tears.
You're flooding the boat.
And over here is Romeo and Juliet.
That's Juliet? Yuck! I feel sorry for Romeo.
And I feel sorry for you.
That Juliet's not very nice.
That's not Juliet, you dum-dum.
That's the Skirted Claw! Meanwhile, Penelope finds herself in another one of that hooded fiend's foul traps.
Why have you tied me to a duck in this shooting gallery, you fiend? Because, Pitstop when you and the ducks are knocked over with those pop guns I win a doozy of a prize.
A prize? What kind of a prize? The prize is your demise.
You see, Pitstop, when the ducks are knocked over the light in the scoreboard lights.
When the last light is lit it'll light a fuse attached to the filament.
The other end of the fuse is wrapped around a rope which will be burned through and drop a 10-ton merry-go-round on you.
You cad.
Wrecking the merry-go-round does bring a tear to my eye but it'll be worth it.
But at this very moment, the good guys are hot on the rescue trail.
We can't find Penelope anywhere.
You better find her, fellas, and fast.
Quick, you guys, split up and search the carnival.
Wait, Yak Yak, that's the baseball toss! Maybe Dum Dum will have better luck.
Well, our very first customer.
Try your luck, sonny, and win a dunce cap.
Well, okay, but I've only got a minute.
Oh, no! That Dum Dum had to be a sharpshooter! He's lighting up all the lights.
That big duck looks like someone I know.
No kidding? I'll bet you know a lot of chickens and frogs, too.
Now keep shooting.
Look, Clyde! The Hooded Claw's got Penelope in the shooting gallery.
Quick, you guys, follow me.
What are you guys up to now? We'll bust in and break up that booby trap with this bumper car.
Better hurry, fellas.
Dum Dum's about to light up that last light bulb.
Oh, joy! Hurry, fellas! We're coming, Penelope.
She's safe! I'm safe! But what happened to The Anthill Mob? Bad news.
They're stuck on the ducks.
Those ducks are funny-looking.
No, don't! Hold it! Too late.
Dum Dum lit the light that lights the fuse that burns the rope! I win! I win a prize.
And here it is, you dum-dum.
It's so good to be free of that hooded fiend.
You spoke too soon, Penelope.
You're right, I spoke too soon.
Once again, The Hooded Claw is up to his treacherous tricks.
Penelope, so nice to have you in my clutches again.
You like popcorn, Pitstop? Yes, I love it.
Then you'll just love what I'm going to do with it.
When the popcorn is eaten, these scales will tip dropping the lead ball onto the start lever.
This will start the roller coaster up and over the hill until it reaches you.
- Impressed? - Your plan is for the birds.
Yes, a very hungry bird.
See you, Pitstop.
It looks like our fine feathered friend is to become a ploy for our foul hooded fiend.
Perhaps not.
I have been working on a plan of my own.
But, Penelope, you deliberately tripped the trap! Yeah.
But I put my plan in motion, too.
I wonder what it is.
Come on, Bully Brothers, let's enjoy the ride.
It's free.
Who says villains aren't kids at heart? Right.
Look, Clyde Penelope's gonna get run over by that roly coaster.
We got to stop that roller coaster.
Out of the way! We got to stop a roly coaster.
Well, well, well if it isn't the seven schnooks and their scrap heap.
The Hooded Claw.
We'll never get to Penelope with him in the way.
Yes, we will.
Chug-a-Boom, up on your toes.
Chug-a-Boom rises to the occasion and rides right over the Claw! Stop that clattering clump heap full of clowns, Bully Brothers.
Right, Claw.
Stop them, I say! While The Anthill Mob and The Hooded Claw play shoot-the-chute on the roly coaster the real cars are ready to roll over Penelope! But wait a minute, Penelope's plan is working.
The hungry bird thinks the rope is a worm.
Hurry, please.
Here comes the roller coaster! He did it! Free! Yes, but there's no time or place to run.
The roller coaster is still rolling.
Oh, no! Penelope! Thank goodness, you're safe.
Gracious, that was close.
Thanks to you, my plump, winged friend, I am safe.
But only half safe.
Look behind you! It's The Hooded Claw.
It looks like we're gonna bump into each other again.
Don't we always? But this is the last time.
Will that fiend roll over Penelope? Or will The Anthill Mob get there first? All we got to do is reach over the Claw and grab her.
That's cheating.
- Okay, Dum Dum, make the grab.
- Right, Clyde.
Got her! Blast! Come on, fellas, stretch out.
No fair.
Nice going, Anthill Mob.
You did it! Blast! But I'm not through yet.
Ready, Bully Brothers? - Ready, boss.
- Very good.
That should cure those meddling moppets.
When Penelope reaches the top her next stop will be the bottom.
Bottom of the ocean, that is.
I feel safe now.
You shouldn't.
We're going off the tracks.
It looks like our hero's luck has taken a turn for the worse.
You dum-dum, give me the wheel.
Sure, Clyde.
On second thought, you can have it back.
Quit clowning and do something, fellas.
Jump, Chug! Look at Chug-a-Boom flap his fenders! Attaboy, Chug-a-Boom.
We made it.
- Blast! - Right.
Help! So, although The Hooded Claw tried to spoil the day the carnival had a happy ending.
And as for that wrecked roller-coaster wrecker he's stuck riding the runaway coaster car for the rest of the night.
Shut up, you clods.
This isn't fun but the real fun will start when I get off this roller coaster.
'Cause that's when I'm going to finish that Pitstop.
Help! I'll get you, Penelope Pitstop.
