In "Flying High," the ever-resourceful Chilly Willy finds himself far from the beachside antics of his penguin peers, stumbling upon a trio of polar bear pirates burying treasure. Forced into labor aboard their ship, Chilly must outwit his burly captors using nothing but wit and his signature determination. With a chilly twist and a dash of daring, can this small penguin turn the tide before the polar police catch up? Written by Vic Lockman and brought to life by Veve Risto’s distinctive art, this 1960 Dell classic features a memorable cover by John Carey.
