Top Cat
1961 / TV-GSeasons & Episode
A voracious anteater named Jimmy follows Benny the Ball back to the alley. The gang discovers that a reward has been offered for the animal's safe return to the zoo, hut before they can turn Jimmy in, an overzealous dogcatcher nabs him and takes him to the dog pound. The cats break into the pound to spring Jimmy, hut are thwarted by Dibble. The anteater manages to return to the alley the next day- accompanied by his entire hungry family.
Dibble overhears the chief talking about removing ""old wrecks"" from the force and thinks the chief means him. His spirits rise considerably when Top Cat and the gang throw him a surprise birthday party and he learns that the ""old wrecks"" the chief spoke of are really worn-out patrol cars.
Despondent over not getting a date with Hollywood siren Lola Glamure, Choo Choo decides to end it all. Top Cat intervenes, managing to reach Lola and persuade her to go out with the wealthy ""Count Chooch."" Lola keeps the date, but the suddenly sobered Choo Choo realizes that the movie queen is really the former Gerti Hefflemeyer, his old third grade classmate.
It looks like illness is going to prevent Officer Dibble from setting the record for uninterrupted service on his beat, the reward for which is a two-week paid vacation. Because he has an interest in the matter (namely, having Dibble out of his fur for two whole weeks), Top Cat does everything he can to keep the policeman on the job.
