Mighty Mouse is on the trail of 'The Star of Cucamonga" after Pearl Pureheart (Diane Pershing) and the Star are snatched by Oil Can Harry (Alan Oppenheimer).
Wikipedia claims producer Lou Scheimer voiced Mighty Mouse. Why do I have a hard time believing that? Anyway, on with the action. Oppenheimer also narrates and voices Harry's sidekick, Swifty.
Apparently, Filmation felt that Harry had to be the be-all, end-all arch-enemy, even though his earlier appearances were in those operatic shorts. They needed Harry to be the bumbling villain who never won. Luckily, when the franchise was given to Ralph Bakshi a few years later, Harry wasn't a major player.
Rating: B.
