Top Cat and his kooky gang of streetwise alley cats are at it again in these hilarious back street adventures. Follow T. C., Benny, Fancy, Choo and Brain as they scrape out a living while managing to drive Officer Dibble crazy. This cassette contains two great episodes.

Episodes[]

In "All That Jazz," Top Cat matches wits with a new rival, Jazz, who's trying a cut in on T.C.'s action. But a playing a series of tricks on one another, they pass up the chance to become Hollywood movie stars - a fate than falls, ironically, to Benny!
Then T.C. enters "The $1,000,000 Derby" with a horse that Benny is using to photograph children on. T.C. discovers that the horse goes wild whenever it hears whistles of bells, so he drives a screaming ambulance alongside the track during the big race. Whether T.C. is ringing in victory or heading back to the alley it's sure to be full of fun.
