Atomic Mouse #9

When Count Gatto and Shadow cook up a scheme to rob the Mouseville National Bank, they use a clever trick involving a coal delivery—but first, they need to get Atomic Mouse out of the way. A phoney distress call sends the hero rocketing toward Mars, leaving the villains free to make their move on the vault. Racing back after realizing he's been duped, Atomic Mouse has to stop the robbery before it's too late.

When Atomic Mouse discovers that Professor Invento's overworked housekeeper Mrs. Hagg is too burdened with laundry to even offer a proper dinner, he and the Professor decide to invent a labor-saving washing machine to ease her load. But the Professor's well-meaning demonstration hits a snag when he realizes the house lacks electricity—forcing Atomic Mouse to improvise a solution that might just change everything for the household.

Professor Invento just wants to be left alone to finish his work, but the persistent showman Blabber Q. Braggert won't take no for an answer—he's desperate for the Professor to invent a snappy ending for his vaudeville act. As Invento tosses out increasingly wild suggestions, from disappearing cream to jet-propelled pogo sticks, Braggert keeps demanding something with more "zip," refusing to budge until he gets exactly what he's looking for.
