Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines: Operation Pigeon Trap!
Written by Matthew Hawkins.
(The scene is the typical blue sky backdrop.)
(Enter Yankee Doodle Pigeon.)
Narrator: "Dawn breaks and the gallant courier Yankee Doodle Pigeon streaks through the skies delivering top secret messages."
(Enter the Vulture Squadron. Dick Dastardly, Muttley, Klunk and Zilly in their trademark planes.)
Narrator: "Meanwhile lurking high above is the notorious Vulture Sqaudron..."
(Camera zooms in on Dick Dastardly.)
Narrator: "...led by that master of villiany, Dick Dastardly!
Dick Dastardly: (faces the audience.) "Just who were you expecting, The Hooded Claw?" (laughs.)
Narrator: "So what fiendish device have you in store for us this time, Dastardly?"
Dick Dastardly: "I'm glad you asked. It's a doozy. (pushes button on dashboard. Out comes a large mousetrap baited with a bowl of birdseed.) "When Yankee Doodle comes down for a bite to eat, I'll snap this trap and we'll have him." (laughs.)
Yankee Doodle Pigeon: (flies down and nibbles at the birdseed.)
Dick Dastardly: Aha! Gotcha! (pushes the button.)
(Alas Dastardly's timing is off, Yankee Doodle files off as the trap snaps catapulting the now empty bowl onto Dastardly's head over his eyes.)
Dick Dastardly: "Drat and double drat." (flies off screen, then comes back on screen, flying in the opposite direction, trying in vain to get the bowl off his head and heading for the rest of the squad.)
Klunk: (arms flapping in panic.) "Look out, chief. You're gonna (squawks)...Ping...boppp...brrrrr...crash!
Zilly: "Oh dear, oh my. (retreats inside coat.)
Muttley: Oh-oh! (winces and braces himself for the impact.)
(Explosion.)
Dick Dastardly: (is falling to earth still with the bowl on his head.) "Muttley! Doooooooo somethiiiiiiiing."
Muttley: (approaches Dastardly using his tail as a propeller and gently takes hold of the bowl, Dastardly then falls out of the bowl and hits the ground leaving his imprint. Muttley lands beside the hole.)
Dick Dastardly: (emerges from the hole.)
Muttley: (sheepish hand him the bowl.)
Dick Dastardly: (pulls out an aerosol can of whipping cream which he fills and slams it down on Muttley's head over his eyes)
Muttley: (grumbles)
