First Line: Cut! -- Okay, boys, take five.

Disclose Notes: Apparently, Mighty Mouse's ability to fly comes from his cape - at least in this particular story. However, his other abilities remain intact, allowing this cape-less, ground-bound mouse to eventually best the flying fox. At story's end, Mighty Mouse gives the boys his "autograph"... in the form of a good spanking.

Synopsis: To help his friend the circus owner, Mighty Mouse fills-in as the star attraction when Ronzoni, the famous lion tamer, quits over money.

Disclose Notes: "Ronzoni" was a popular brand of macaroni and may have sounded good as an Italian name-parody. Ronzoni was depicted as a cat-character, while all other characters in the story were mice - no doubt further emphasizing his evil.

Equipped with 5 catapulting jets that zoom off the runway with the flick of the finger. The carrier is fully 2/3's of a foot long!" Also included at no extra cost "...a small supporting fleet of real plastic molded warships, consisting of: 1 battleship, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer, 1 submarine, 1 P.T. boat, and one aircraft carrier". That "second aircraft carrier" presumably measured-in at less than the star attraction's "2/3's of a foot long!" Black and white ad on inside back cover.
