The cars are strung out on today's Wacky Race. And look who's in the lead: Dick Dastardly

"You were expecting maybe Frank Sinatra?" He laughed

The finish line is in Tucson, Arizona. Hey Dastardly how come you're stopping?

"Just stay glued to your seat and watch."

A trampoline was set up and a keg of blasting powder was in the air via balloon.

"Here's my plan Muttley, I'll bounce from the trampoline and land here on the plank. It will catapult you where you puncture that can of blasting powder with your dart gun. It will land onto the road and explode." he snickered "Makings things impassible for the other cars. Here they come and away we go!"

Just as Dick explained he bounced from the trampoline and onto the plank launching Muttley into the air. With his dart gun he punctured the balloon.

Dastardly chuckled to himself thinking how great his plan is going to work. However,

"Uh-oh!" The can of blasting powder fell on his side. As Muttley landed he catapulted Dick up

"Muttley! Help!"

Muttley laughed as the blasting powder exploded and Dick fell on a cactus

"Muttley!"

Muttley snickered as he held tweezers to get the prickles off.

"Hurry Muttley and remember you're not plucking a chicken." He cried out in pain as each prickle was removed

And the wacky beat goes on as Vanessa is in the lead with Horse Power. Wait it's a beautiful unicorn. Amazing!

"You expected less from an amazing wizard?"

And coming up fast is the Gruesome Twosome who is determined to pass them.

The dragon comes out attempting to scare Crystal. Crystal changed her collar to a club and hit the dragon on the head ten times

"Try that again you big bully and I'll give you a splitting headache."

The dragon returned to the belfry crying

The rest of the Wacky racers keep a steady pace.

Gravel of the Slag brothers was bashing the car to take third place away from Penelope. However he fell overboard and bounced slightly across the ground.

Nurse Bridget is tailgating Gravel, one of the Slag Brothers.

Gravel kept running until the tip of the Reliable Turbo sent him flying

"Oops, sorry about that Slag."

Gravel got back into his seat.

Meanwhile Dastardly and Muttley arrived at a ranch. They were opening the gate of a corral.

"We'll stampede this herd of cattle across the road. That should stop them and their speedy wheels. Get along little doggies! Go, go, go!"

Muttley barked loudly as the herd dashed off out of the corral and heading for the highway.

Dastardly laughed "That should stop them."

However the cattle dashed back to the corral. Vanessa and Crystal were leading them back

"Get along little doggies!"

"Yeehaw!" shouted Crystal "Life in the Wild West is fun."

"Uh-oh, run for it!"

Dastardly got ran over "Call me when the roundup is over Muttley."

Muttley laughed

Vanessa locked back the gate to the corral "There that should take care of that."

"And now I'm going to take care of you, you meddling female!"

"Uh-oh, I made him mad as usual. Let's go."

Back to the Wacky Races everyone is maneuvering for a position. Penelope put on a burst of speed followed by Christopher Scott.

"Uh-oh. It looks like Penelope is in trouble."

The Compact Pussycat was stuck in a mud hole

"Oh dear. Whatever shall I do?"

"What's the problem Penny?"

"I'm stuck in this little ol' mud hole."

"Don't worry; I'll get you of there."

Christopher drove up to the front and brought out a crane. It tugged the Compact Pussycat right out of the mud.

"Thanks ever so ever Christopher."

"You're welcome Penelope."

Christopher Scott is leading with Penelope second and behind her neck in neck for third place is Number 12 the charming Nurse Bridget Swan and Number 8 the Arkansas Chuggabug. Coming up fast is the Gruesome Twosome who is determined to pass them by going into 'Scare the Pets' Power.

The dragon came out roaring behind the cars scaring Arista and Blubber. Arista closed the Reliable Turbo's umbrella and smacks the dragon on the head. Blubber grabbed onto it and threw the Creepy Coupe to last place. Arista and Blubber shook paws congratulating each other on a job well done.

And the Wacky Race goes. Meanwhile out in the desert Dick Dastardly is on a wild goose chase after Vanessa London.

The Magic Rocket and the Mean Machine dashed through the land in a zigzag fashion until they almost crashed into each other.

"Now look D.D. we're getting nowhere with this."

"You're right. What do we do?"

"I have an idea." said Crystal "You two deal with this by how they do it in the Wild West. And the winner gets to go back to the Wacky Race."

"That's a good idea. Are you in Dastardly?"

"Yeah, you're one."

Dastardly changed into a purple and black cowboy outfit

"All right Vanessa, are you ready?"

"Just about." Vanessa changed into a light pink and lavender cowgirl outfit. She was tying her hair into a ponytail and checked to see how it looked "There. I'm ready."

They did the customary slow walking towards each other. It is usually done in the Western pictures. Muttley and Crystal were eating popcorn as they watched

"Exciting isn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Okay Vanessa draw!"

Vanessa brought out a popgun

"A popgun?" he laughed "That's your weapon?"

"Yep, it's what's going to allow me to win this match partner."

"All right, let's see how it works." Dastardly pulled the cork

An explosion went out and Dastardly collapsed covered in black soot. Muttley laughed

"Well, that's that. Come on Crystal let's go. We have to catch up to the other Wacky Racers."

"Right." She dashed off

At the halfway mark it's anybody's race. Vanessa makes up for lost time by going into Winged Unicorn Power. Wow, look at her go passing everyone and into the lead.

Up ahead it's Dick Dastardly planning another ambush.

"Here comes Vanessa, I'll teach her a lesson or two." He pushed a boulder

"Uh-oh, incoming boulder that's about to flatten us."

"Then it's time to spring into action."

A spring appeared and bounced the boulder back up. It landed directly on Dick.

Every driver is jogging for position. The Army Surplus Special switches to double traction now Peter Perfect is using Multiple Wheel Power and the Creepy Coupe uses Dragon Jet Power. Christopher Scott converts to Jet Rocket Power and jet rockets into the lead.

Meanwhile Dastardly makes use of One Dog Power to catch up to the others.

"*Grumbles* Dick Dastardly."

They're approaching the finish line and it's going to be close, Christopher Scott is leading.

An unknown flying object flew over the racers and smoke covers everyone.

Uh-oh, smoke is covering the field. I can't tell who the winner is.

The cars come out covered in smoke for a while then they are revealed.

And it appears as if Dastardly won with Number 11 second and number 1 third. But wait, the judges have asked for an instant replay.

A hidden camera shows that Dick Dastardly used a flying smoke missile to cover smoke over the racers in an attempt to stall them. And now here's a photograph from our infra-red camera. Observe how the front of Dastardly's car is shown.

The crowd booed.

Therefore Dick Dastardly is disqualified for stretching a point.

Christopher smiled and waved as he received the trophy

So the winner is Number 11, the trusty professional mechanic Christopher Scott. Second place goes to the Slag Brothers and third place goes to the Arkansas Chuggabug.

Dastardly pounded the hood "Drat! Drat and drat and a double drat!"

Muttley laughed which earned him a swift knock on the head.

"*Grumbles* Sore head."

Muttley kicked the grill which set it back to its original position. It slammed Dastardly's hand in the process

"Ouch!"

He held his hand as Muttley continued to laugh.
