There goes the Wacky Racers headed for the finish line in Rome. They're lead by the despicable, dirty, Dracula of the drag stretch Dick Dastardly.
"You left out dashing and devastatingly handsome."
And it looks like Peter Perfect is going to pass Dick.
"These tacks should stop him." Dick threw some tacks
They punctured Peter's tires and then his car
"Oh fiddlesticks."
And now Christopher Scott has moved up to challenge Dick Dastardly for the lead and it looks like he's going to pass Dick.
"Over my dishonest body he will. You know what to do Muttley."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
By using a fishing line with lasagna as bait
"Wow that lasagna smells terrific."
He takes the bait and ends in the air dangling like a fish
"Uh-oh, why did I have to fall for that old trick?"
"Don't worry Christopher, I'll help you." Penelope picks up her umbrella "Here, grab onto my little ol' umbrella."
Christopher swings and grabs it. He lands safely
"Thanks Penny."
"You're welcome Christopher."
"If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a goody good do gooder. It looks like I'll have to come up with some dirty tricks."
All the racers are holding a steady pace with Nurse Bridget in last place.
"We need a plan to get ahead."
Bridget started thinking
"I've got it! I'll just switch to Rocket Booster power. Get your goggles and helmet on Arista because we're going to blast off."
They put on helmets and goggles as it appears
Wow look at them go and pass the pack! They're way out in front now and the first to reach Bologna. It looks like Dick Dastardly has come up with something.
"Indeed I have, this high-speed missile will take out those Wacky Racers."
Oh no, look out Nurse Bridget!
"Oh my! It's true that we can escape that missile easily but everyone else and the city will be in danger. Quick Arista, bring out the pipeline."
A giant pipeline was brought which directed its' course back to Dastardly.
"Oh no!"
It exploded and sent Dastardly in the air
"Muttley! Do something!"
Muttley was ready with a trampoline which caught Dick but he pierced through it and fell flat to the ground. Muttley laughed
The racers leave Bologna and are heading for Florence. Nurse Bridget is in the lead but here comes Vanessa who uses Magic Carpet power.
Vanessa is filing her nails and Crystal paints them.
"Just perfect."
Vanessa flies into the lead with Nurse Bridget in second place and Professor Pat Pending in third place. The racers now come to Florence but wait there's a fogbank. That's strange for fog to appear in Italy in this time of year.
"It's all going according to my plan."
But how did you do it, you fiend?
"Diabolically simple, by using a fog machine that covers the entire city, the others will get lost giving me enough time to get ahead."
"Just as I thought, Dick Dastardly!"
"We have to stop that fog machine."
Crystal transforms her collar into a bazooka and blasts away. It destroys the fog machine.
"The fog machine! It's destroyed!"
"And guess who destroyed it."
"Curses! Drat you Vanessa and Crystal!"
"Now to help the others."
"That won't be necessary, look."
How about that! Nurse Bridget and Professor Pat Pending use Beacon Power to guide the others through the city.
"All right, they all made it, now to make the fog completely disappear and get back in the race."
The fog disappeared and Vanessa zooms ahead.
It's now the final lap folks, Vanessa is in the lead with Peter Perfect second and Rufus Ruffcut third. The others are bunched each looking for an opening. The Ant Hill Mob finds one and uses Pogo Power, the Chuggabug runs barefoot followed by Penelope Pitstop. Red Max uses extra propeller power, the Army Surplus Special uses bazooka power, the Slag Brothers are gaining on them one foot at a time and the Creepy Coupe uses Dragon Breath power. Yes folks it's anybody's race! But wait, here comes Dick Dastardly and pasts everyone. He's now neck in neck with Vanessa for the lead. It's only 500 yards left till the finish line. Vanessa and Dick Dastardly are still neck in neck followed by Peter Perfect and Rufus Ruffcut. It looks like this is going to be a photo finish.
"Did you say photo finish?"
They're approaching the finish line and it is indeed a photo finish. Vanessa London is the winner with Peter Perfect second and Rufus Ruffcut third. And what do you know, Dick Dastardly stopped to get his picture taken. Oh the big ham!
Dastardly and Muttley laugh together.
