(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!
