(male announcer)
'The Annual Dog show

'awards your dog first prize,
colonel.'

He's the most valuable dog
in the show.

Absolutely priceless.

Uh, thank you, sir.

And my priceless dog
thanks you, too.

[chuckles]
Did you hear that,
Ferocious Flea?

That's the priceless mutt
we came to dognap.

Good. I'm itchin'
for action, boss.



- 'Well, hop to it.'
- Righto, boss.

swish

There is no other dog
in the world like my dog.

My priceless dog!

Came back here. Stop!

(Ferocious Flea)
Okay, boss, I got him.

Well, head for the hideout,
I'm right behind you.

swish

Help! Stop those!

'They're dog-nappers!'

We'll cut through the park
to our hideout, Ferocious.

Right, boss.

Help! Police!

'Help! Help!'

'Stop them!'

'Don't let 'em get away!'

'Help! Please! Somebody!'

Sounds like trouble up there.

I better tune him in
on my antenna.

Uh-oh, "S-O-S."

"D-O-G N-A-P-E-R-S."

Dog-nappers.

"A-T-O-M A-N-T."

Atom Ant. Yes, yes, that's me.

"H-E-L-P." Help.

It's a dog-napping
and they need help.

Atom Ant, up and at 'em!

whoosh

It's sounds like
Bone Brain's work

and his sidekick,
Ferocious Flea.

[whooshing]

This Flea-Bag Hotel
must be their hideout.

[whooshing]

[knocking on door]

(Bone Brain)
'Who's there?'

It's a messenger
with your just reward.

[chuckles]
Already?

Gosh, but we haven't even sent
the ransom note yet. Coming.

Careful, boss,
it may be a trick.

Ha, ha, hey-hey!
Hey, nobody's here.

Correction, sir.
I resent being called a nobody.

Hey, hey,
who turned down the lights?

(Atom Ant)
Now to rescue the dog.

swish

Okay, priceless pooch,
let's go home.

Put him down, Ferocious Flea.

He's coming with me.

Oh, no, he isn't.
He's mine.

[giggles]

screech

Hey! Come back with my dog,
Atom Ant.

swish

I'm returning him
to his rightful owner.

crash

- And the rightful owner is me.
- 'Not so ..'

wham

- Is so.
- Isn't.

- Is.
- Is too.

thump

Give up, Flea, I can beat you
fair and square.

True.

pew

So I'll get some help.

Like this chair.

Like I always say
if you can't beat 'em, bash 'em.

thump

boing boing

Better give up, Ferocious.

I always spring back.

You wanna bet?

It's a lead pipe

since you won't be
so springy this time.

screech

clank clank

En guard!

My pleasure.

Uh-oh. Looks like I came out
on the short end of this.

pew

You're so right.

[giggling]

Ha-ha. You missed.

Now I'm gonna drive you
into the ground!

Hold it! Hold it!

Let's stop before
someone gets hurt.

Now are you gonna
give up or not?

thump

I presume your answer...is no.

Right, I've hit you
with everything I've got.

But don't go away.

This ought to do the trick.

crash

Oh, no.
Not the kitchen sink.

How corny.

clang

Ha, ha, ha.
Good work, Ferocious.

That's the end of Atom Ant.

(Ferocious)
Right, boss.

(Atom Ant)
You goofed, Ferocious.

You forgot to put
the plug in. Ha, ha.

You're both under arrest.

That ant isn't human.

Uh, flee for your life, Flea.

Be right with you, boss

soon as I take care
of this guy..

...permanently.

I'm gonna split an atom.

Atom Ant that is.

You just never give up,
do you, Ferocious?

[squeaking]

Ready? Aim! Fire!

boom

Okay, Atom Ant. I give up.

[clattering]

One down
and one to go.

pew

I've gotta find a new hideout.

screech

Now then

he shall see
what it's like to run up

against the strong arm
of the law.

Oh, no. You again?

thump

thud

The police will take care
of those two.

Let's head for home, Priceless.

woof

My Priceless pup.

How did you ever escape?

Sir, it was I, Atom Ant,
who rescued your dog.

Uh, but no reward, please.

Your joy is my payment.

Egad! A bug and near
my Priceless pup.

thump

Hey, wait, it's..

I'm Atom Ant.
