(man on radio)
'Attention, calling car 98.'
'Come in, car 98.'
This is car 98.
What's up, chief?
Looks like
there's a burglary in progress
at the City Bank,
better check it out.
Well, that's just
around the corner.
Yeah, then the crooks
must still be there.
Step on it.
Huh, nobody here
but a lazy mutt.
Never mind him.
Look, all the doors
have been ripped off.
Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
What a mess.
That crook is still inside.
'We'll catch him red-handed
when he comes out.'
'Oh, so it's you, Atom Ant.'
'Caught you with the goods.'
Well, so you did, sergeant.
And what are you
gonna do about it?
Hand me that money, Atom Ant.
[chuckles]
You must be kidding, sergeant.
swoosh
Just turn it over.
Sure I will.
thud
Atom Ant at your service.
[laughing]
'Come on, Slapsie, let's go.'
Right, boss.
[giggling]
swish
And I thought Atom Ant
was a good guy.
[instrumental music]
Hey, boss, I like working
with a smart genius.
[laughs]
Yeah, and there's nothin' better
than working
with a long-haired dog
with a skinny body.
Well, why didn't you arrest
Atom Ant?
He escaped, lieutenant.
I don't want excuses,
I want action.
Yes, chief.
And fast!
Now, boss.
(Phony Atom)
'The famous star diamond.'
'What a beauty!'
swoosh
[alarm wailing]
Great work, boss!
[siren wailing]
(Phoney Atom)
'It's the cops.
Down, boy, down.'
[snoring]
Looks like another Atom Ant job.
He stole the star diamond.
Oh, the chief's gonna be
very, very, very soar.
You're tellin' me,
at first the bank
now the diamond.
And I can't figure out
'how we gets away so fast.'
[laughs]
(Phoney Atom)
'Quiet.'
(officer #1)
'That mutt looks familiar.'
(officer #2)
'Never mind him,
we better stake out'
'Atom Ant's place and nab him.'
[laughs]
Okay, Slapsie, let's go.
Right, boss!
swoosh
Dah, you mean
the hide out, boss?
(Phoney Atom)
'Yeah, I mean the hide out.'
'Alright, let's unload
the loot.'
'The cops will
never suspect us.'
[laughs]
Good night's work, eh, Slapsie?
(Slapsie)
'Right, boss.'
I sure fooled the cops
with this Atom Ant disguise.
(Slapsie)
'Yeah, boss,
they'll never find out'
'it was you,
Ferocious Flea.'
And me, Slapsie Mugsy.
Are you ever cle-ver!
[laughing]
But I told you, sergeant.
I've been
at my place all the time.
Oh, yeah, well,
tell it to the chief.
You're making a big mistake.
That's what they all say.
Get in there.
thud
Gosh, I better find a way
to prove my innocence.
I've got it, I will break out
and find the real crook.
swoosh
creak creak
pop
Well, what do you know
Atom Ant has escaped.
Slapsie,
with Atom Ant out of jail
this is the time to pull
that big job I got planned.
'And the cops will blame him
for it again.'
Yeah, that Atom Ant
you're too smart for him.
Wait here, while I put on
my Atom Ant disguise.
swoosh
If I may be so bold just to ask,
Ferocious
where is the caper
you got planned?
(Phoney Atom)
'Quiet, Slapsie, I'll give you'
'the lowdown
when we get there.'
(Slapsie)
'Sure, boss.'
A-ha! Ferocious Flea
and Slapsie Mugsy.
I shall follow
and see what's going on.
(Flea)
There it is, Fort Blotz.
Boy, that is a big one.
But it's locked, boss.
How're you going to get in?
- I've made a key.
- Heh heh. You're clever, boss.
You wait here,
I'll go get the gold bricks.
(Slapsie)
'Right, boss.'
[laughs]
Here, catch.
Got you, boss.
Don't go away,
there's lots more.
A-ha! So that's their
perfect scheme.
I think
I've got enough evidence.
[laughs]
Another load, Slapsie.
- Catch!
- Got ya.
Atom Ant, up and at 'em!
Land sakes.
It's the real Atom Ant, boss.
(Flea)
Come on, let's scram.
(Atom Ant)
Oh, no, you don't,
Ferocious Flea!
Give yourself up,
I know you're in there.
You're rigged up, boss.
Hey, sarge,
there's that mutt again.
Yeah, and Atom Ant's with him.
Step on it.
[laughs]
You'll never catch me.
I warn you now, Ferocious Flea.
Atom Ant, take that.
Aha, so you wanna play
roughly, do ya?
swoosh
[laughs]
You missed me.
It's no use, Ferocious,
I'm faster than you.
Look, there are two Atom Ants.
Wrong, officer, Ferocious Flea
disguised himself
to look like me.
And this is his henchman.
Slapsie Mugsy.
He's got the loot.
Alright, you, hand it over!
These looks like the gold bricks
from Fort Blotz.
My apologies, Atom Ant
for putting you in jail.
And thanks
for catching the real crooks.
That's okay, sarge.
You can always
count on Atom Ant.
Up and at 'em!
