Danger Mouse

- Season 2

(1982)

The world is swimming in custard after Greenback booby traps every tin of it to explode. Danger Mouse decides to seek out the only being in the universe that can help: the Custard Mite of Glut.

Penfold is practicing Kung-Moggie when he and, more importantly, Danger Mouse are send to Eaves Drop Island (near the Bermuda Triangle) to safeguard the Big Ear tracking station from Baron Greenback. Once there, they are abducted by aliens and probed by Dr. Zock. However, DM refuses to believe Zock is nothing more than Greenback wearing a silly purple mask.

Danger Mouse is challenged to five tests of strengths of wit by Baron Greenback. If DM wins, Greenback promises to abandon his life of crime. If the Baron wins, the white wonder has to give up crime fighting.

All over London, washing machines are breaking out of homes, laundrettes, warehouse and washing machine factories thanks to toad voice responder units build into them by the evil Baron Silas Greenback, who orders them to destroy Danger Mouse. DM counters by using a giant magnet against the machine, but does not count on the soap fuel's evolution into a hideous mutated sud monster.

Baron Silas Greenback has stolen the Bad Luck Eye of the Little Yellow God from a remote mountain tribe in Brasil and uses it to harness a laser with which to zap innocent bystanders into having bad luck. Dangermouse and Penfold are unlucky enough to recover the jewel, but have great misfortune trying to return it from whence it came.

Penfold has been kidnapped by Baron Greenback, who forces Dangermouse to gather together four ingredients of an ancient spell for creating an invincible monster. They are: four hairs from a Yeti, a twig from a Witches Broom, a piece of the dreaded Fog Monster of old London town and two feathers from a vampire duck. In the middle of all this, another mission comes up, this one to buy a washing machine on sale for the PM's missus.
