HOUNDCATS, THE - The Ruckus on the Rails Mission

Air Date/Released Saturday, October 21, 1972
Station/Studio NBC / DePatie-Freleng Prod.
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

Saturday morning animation series spoof of THE WILD WILD WEST and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, the Houndcats are a group of cunning and bumbling feline & canine Secret Service agents in the 1910s Southwest U.S. Team leader Stutz is assisted by master-of-disguise Putty Puss (Joe Besser), inventor genius Rhubarb, IQ-challenged strong-dog Mussel Mutt, jack-of-all-trades Ding Dog, and the team's high tech jalopy Spark-Plug.

The Houndcats are assigned to investigate and stop the "ghost train" of Midnight Jones, which is preventing the A&S Railroad from delivering passengers, freight and urgent government dispatches. Is Jones really a ghostly apparition, or a ruse to drive the A&S into bankruptcy?
