All right, boppers, that was
Elwy and the Tree Weasels

singing "Twitch and Writhe."

And here's a reminder to

all you swinging hipsters
out there in Mouseville.

Be sure to show up tonight
when Elwy and his pals

give a benefit concert
for the Mouseville Orphanage!

Oh, boy!

Elwy and the Tree Weasels!

They're my heroes.

I'm gonna get my tickets
right now.

"Tree Weasels Concert Sold Out"?

Gosh, now I'll never
have any fun.

♪ Here I come to save the day! ♪

Well, well,
why the long face, little pal?

Gee-whiz and goshy willickers.

I wanted to see Elwy

and the Tree Weasels,

but the show's sold out.

I'll tell you what.

I know their manager--
Sandy Bottomfeeder.

Let's go meet
the Tree Weasels in person.

Yeah! Yay!

Yay! Whoo! Whoo!

[laughs]
Well, if you don't
want to go,

I'll understand.

No, no!

I want to go so bad,
I can taste it.

Well, then let's
hop along, Cassidy.

[laughs]

♪ Wri-ithe ♪

♪ Twi-i-i-itch a-and wri-ithe ♪

♪ Twitch ♪

No, no, no, boys.

Remember, this is
a romantic ballad,

so speed it up.

Why don't we take
a break, Sandy.

Well, I don't know, boys.

We've got a big night
ahead of us.

Look, guys,

it's my old top sergeant,
Mighty Mouse!

Sandy, you old co*n dog, you.

Give me the old secret handshake
of the Water Weasels.

SANDY and MIGHTY MOUSE:
Ack, ack, attack!

[both laugh]
All right!

Ah, you remembered.

Say, who's your little
compadre there?

My name's Scrappy.

And keep your hairless mitts
to yourself.

Now, Scrappy, is that nice?

Ah, that's okay.

I get that stuff
from the boys all the time.

The boys!

Hey, you'll want to meet them.

Hey, Elwy.

Elwy?

[sizzling]

Elwy!

Hey, man,

anything you say.
Okay.

Okay, boys, shake hands with
my new little friend here.

Scrappy, I'd like you
to meet my boys.

This is Elwy.

He's the mischievous one.

Scrappy is your biggest fan.

SANDY:
And this is Thickee.

You'll like him.

He's really fat.

Say, where's...

Oh, there you are.

Goobee, come
out of there.

Don't mind Goobee.

He's the shy,
sensitive type.

Well, little guy, how would
you like two free tickets

to see the Tree Weasels
perform tonight?

Yay!

Well, Scrappy,

what do you think
of Sandy now?

Oh, gee, Mighty,
he's great.

But, uh, well,
I got a question.

What does he have
to do with the Tree Weasels?

I mean, he's not...
he's not their pop, is he?

You know, I often wondered
about that myself.

Hi, kids.
I'm Mashy, the pup.

You won't believe
today's incredible story.

MASHY:
Sandy Bottomfeeder was
a young man who was depressed.

Gosh, I'm depressed.

MASHY:
Depressed because
he didn't have a family.

Gosh, I wish I had a family.

MASHY:
It was at that moment
that fate played its hand.

[gurgling]

[gurgling]

Whee! Whee!

Oh, rapture,
my own little family!

Let's go home, my loved ones.

I'll make you happy.

MASHY:
And that was the day that
Sandy met the Tree Weasels.

I'll raise you
as normal children.

I promise to love you
more than anything.

[teeth chattering]

But boys, you must
do something for me.

Anything you say, man.

Just take it easy.

Keep cool, man.

I want you to wear
these clothes for me.

[crying]

It's okay, man.

Just do what he says.

Don't make any
sudden moves.

[crying]

[snuffling]

There's something else.

Anything, man.

Right you are.
Anything, man.

Oh, anything, any.

I want you... to sing.

[singing off-key]:
♪ La, la, la, la-la, la ♪

♪ La ♪

And I want you
to sing really fast.

♪ La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la,
la-la, la-la, la-la, la-ah ♪

♪ La, la ♪

And I want you
to sing backwards.

♪ Al-al, al-al, al-al,
al-al, al-al, al-al ♪

♪ Al-la, al-al,
al-al, al-al, al-al. ♪

MASHY:
That week, Sandy realized
how gifted his progeny were

and allowed them
to display their talents.

And soon the success

of Elwy and the Tree Weasels
was assured,

but they never forgot those
less fortunate than themselves,

such as the orphans
of Mouseville

who were being honored
in tonight's concert.

And now, on with the show!

[applause]

Thank you, citizens
of Mouseville.

As you know, this concert

is a benefit for the
Mouseville orphanage.

Well, at the end of the show,

Elwy and the Tree Weasels
will have a special surprise

for all the orphans.

The boys have used
tonight's proceeds

to secure brand-new parents
for each and every one of you.

[cheering]

And now... here they are--

Elwy and the Tree Weasels!

Elwy?

Elwy...?

that are supposed to

Well, we didn't think

[inaudible whisper]

Uh... well, folks,

I'm afraid
I've got some bad news.

I-It seems that...

MIGHTY MOUSE:
Orphans of Mouseville,

your new parents are here!

Come on down!

[happy chatter]

Oh. Don't I get a parent?

[sobbing, sniffling]

Isn't this great, boys?

It just goes to show,
it's not the species

that makes a
family work,

it's love.

Right, boys?

Anything you say, man.

Sure. Just keep it cool.

[hissing]

[pop]

And that's the story
of Elwy and the Tree Weasels.

Incredible, isn't it?

Oh, and don't forget--

always look both ways
before crossing the street.

[chuckles]

[all laughing]

[clattering]

Aw, me, I can hardly wait!

Why isn't it here yet?

Come on, where's the mail?

Wow!

Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

Yes, indeed, nothing like
a peaceful, leisurely lunch hour

after a hard morning of work.

Mike!

Mike! Hey, Mike!

Hi, Scrappy. What's up?

[panting]:
Mike, look! Look!

I just got my Cosmic
Mysto Magical Crimebuster ring!

Now I'm a member of
the Cosmic Mysto Magical
Crimebusting League!

Now I can fight criminals
just like my heroes.

Hmm, d*ck Detective,

Murray the Barbarian,

Really Weird Tales
from Outer Space.

Well, let's see
what this ring can do.

What the...?

SCRAPPY:
Oh no!

It's the super villains from
Crimebusters comics!

Kingpin.

Womancat.

Huge the Conqueror.

Pencilneck.

Eyeballman!

Headcheese!

You!

What comic strip
are you?

I'm not a comic strip.

I'm Scrappy.

[cracking]

Huh.

Reminds me of the brainbats
from series five.

Forget them.

Let's hit this town.

We'll get a secret hideout
and terrorize the populous.

[Kingpin laughs]

What are we
gonna do?

They'll destroy the universe

or maybe even Mouseville!

You stay here.
I'll find help.

[crowd cheering]

KINGPIN:
Stand around

and watch Blockhead
grab what he wants.

ONLOOKER:
Anybody knows
what that is?

Come on.
Hey, wait a minute.

What's that?
I don't know.

ONLOOKER:
What's he doing?

[crowd screaming]

[screaming]

MAN [over P.A.]:
Holy cow! A balloon has
broken free!

It's headed
for the pizza convention.

[glass shattering]
[screams]

[smacking lips]

MAN:
Ladies and gentlemen, something
terrible has just happened.

The King has burst into flames.

This is the worst disaster

in human memory.
[villains laughing]

Oh, the humanity of it.

MIGHTY MOUSE:
Hello, information?

I'm looking
for the secret hideout

of the funny papers g*ng.

Yes, I think it's a new listing.

The old deserted gumball
factory, eh?

Thanks.

♪ Here I come to save the day! ♪

[Kingpin laughing]

[laughter continues]

Now, my faithful minions,

I will explain our plan
for the benefit of the audience.

We will cover these gumballs

with our mind-control coating.

Mouseville will be ours
for the taking.

[sinister laugh]

MIGHTY MOUSE:
Hate to burst your
bubble, Kingpin,

but you're all chewed up.

It's Mighty Mouse.

Get him!

Have some gum,
Mighty Mouse?

Why, thank you, Womancat.

[gulping]

[screaming]

[grunting]

Pencilneck,
Motherbell,

subdue that rodent.

[bell clanging]

[clanging reverberating]

[Kingpin laughs]

Let this be a lesson to you,
Mighty Mouse.

This is one time you were
not saved by the bell.

[Kingpin laughs]

You know what to do
with him, boys.

Right, Kingpin!

KINGPIN:
Now, Mighty Mouse,

you will have 15 minutes
to solve the puzzle.

Otherwise, you will be turned
into a chewy, gummy treat.

And not only that, kids,

but the flavor lasts for hours.

[sinister laugh]

I'll see you in the funny
papers, Mighty Mouse.

[laughing]

Good-bye... forever.

Hmm.

I used to be pretty good
at word games.

M-I-T.

M-I-T. Uh, mighty!

Uh, mouse. Mighty Mouse!

Hey, that's me.

Oh, let's see.

Mighty Mouse.

S-A-B-L-M...

Z.

Mighty Mouse is a--

Ugh, it's right on the tip
of my tongue.

Mighty Mouse is a...

Santa's little helper. No.

Mighty Mouse is a...

A wimp, you fool!

Wimp!

Mighty Mouse
is a wimp!

[buzzing and ringing]

I knew the answer all along,
Blockhead.

I was merely waiting for you
to lower your guard.

Now, to put you back
where you belong.

[screaming]

I was right!

By reversing the polarity on the

Mysto Magical Crimebusters ring

I was able to trap the evildoer

in the stasis field.

Now, to round up the rest
of the g*ng

before they turn the people
of Mouseville

into slobbering couch potatoes.

Here you go, kid.

We have free samples today.

[Kingpin chuckles]

Don't touch that gum

if you value your mind,
little fellow.

Curses! It's Mighty Mouse.

Headcheese, protect me!

I eat guys like you for lunch,
Headcheese.

Oh, no!

Spare me!

[screaming]

Well, that's that.

[rumbling]
What could that be?

[thunderclap]

All right, who's in charge here?

Gosh, you're huge.

Yes, I am.

I am Huge the Conqueror.

Feel my wrath, Mighty Mouse.

Behold the mystical power
of my magic hammer!

Now, please excuse me

while I wreak
my vengeance.

[crying]

[engine revving]

[sniffing]

Looks like I can cancel
that vacation to Miami Beach.

This is such wonderful therapy.

[punches landing]

Ooh, I will give you
such a pinch.

It is useless to resist me.

With my magic hammer,

I can turn you
into anything I wish.

[groans]

[croaking]

[roars]

HUGE:
Please, please,
let me out.

Let me out!

Oh, had enough, huh?

Please.

It smells like onions
in here.

Please, put me in the ring

where I may be with others
of my own kind.

[villains groaning]

Move over, Blockhead.

Oops, excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Whew! I hope that's it.

All the people
of Earth,

I am of a superior grade
of intelligence.

Sorry, partner.

This planet ain't big enough
for the two of us.

It's Mighty Mouse.

As you can see, this fluid
has life draining qualities.

Soon you will be
powerless against me.

If you're so smart,
Mr. Brain,

see if you can solve
this puzzle.

Hmm.

"Mighty Mouse
is a wimp."

But what does it mean?

It means you made me mad,
you extraterrestrial

smart aleck.
[screams]

No!

That was dirty pull, son.

You just hit my medulla
oblongata.

[groans]

My cerebral cortex.

Mother!

Hey, wh-who turned out
the lights?

Huh?

Welcome to Amboy Four.

We are please to have your
puny planet participate

in our
intergalactic
livestock show

and demolition
derby.

Let the games
begin!

Just who do they think you are?

You can't play games
with my world, bub.

It's back to the funny papers
for you, buster!

Gee, my lunch must be stone-cold
by now.

Mike, you're back!

What happened?

Mighty Mouse came
to the rescue

and everything's okay.

But what about
the villains?

They're right in here.

PEARL:
Mike.

Where have you been?

You've been gone
for two hours.

Say, what a nice ring.

May I see it?
But, Pearl,

I don't think you should...

Well, if you don't want me

to wear it, just say so.

Be quiet!

We're trying to sleep,
ya sillies.
