"Merry Mouse" involves the mouse character being taken captive by outlaws, who later surrender him to the sheriff after he brings an entire gang into town; the story concludes with Merry Mouse's mother and other children celebrating his heroic actions. "Space Mouse" follows a blue-skinned space character who battles invading "Wolfies" that have kidnapped Mother Goose; after obtaining an iron shield and using tickle bullets to repel the enemy, Space Mouse rescues Mother Goose and the Wolfies are defeated. Additional stories in the issue feature other characters including Peter Rabbit, Spotty the Pup, and Cicero the Cat in various comedic adventures.
Peter Rabbit takes Dazy to the park for a portrait session in her new dress, carefully framing shots to showcase her outfit—but a series of positioning mishaps leads to an unexpected splash. This charming 1953 animal romp proves that the best-laid photography plans don't always capture what you're hoping for.
Peter Rabbit and Dazy find a mysterious treasure map in a bottle and set sail to claim the riches, only to discover the "island" is actually a living whale—and the map was bait cast by King Davy Jones, an eccentric undersea ruler who conscripts them into slave labor mining gold in his bubble kingdom. When Peter devises a daring escape plan, the adventure plunges deeper into danger as the two must outwit their captor and his growing power-hungry ambitions.
When Merry Mouse's prized sombrero gets destroyed by the rampaging Porky Gang, the scrappy mouse decides to make them pay—but ends up becoming sheriff of Sioux City instead. Now he must guard a shipment of gold heading into town on the train, all while the escaped gang plots to intercept it and his girlfriend Millie becomes a pawn in their scheme. As danger mounts on the rails and wits clash at every turn, Merry Mouse proves that sometimes the smallest hero has the biggest tricks up his sleeve.
Space Mouse springs into action when wolfies from the planet Arf-Arf kidnap Mother Goose and her storybook characters, leaving children across Earth heartbroken and desperate. Our heroic mouse pursues the villains to their distant world, where he'll have to outwit not just the wolf gang, but a wicked giant standing guard, all to bring his cherished friends back home. It's a wild intergalactic adventure packed with tickle bullets, zoom suits, and the kind of high-flying heroics only Space Mouse can deliver.
Cicero the cat gets a little too comfortable lounging in cool water on a sweltering day, but his dreams of a lazy afternoon are shattered when the mischievous Timmy decides the hungry feline deserves some comeuppance. What follows is an escalating series of pranks that turn Cicero's world upside down—literally—as Timmy enlists an unlikely ally to teach the troublemaking cat a thing or two about fair play.
Spotty the Pup lands a job selling Super-Gro Hair Tonic and quickly discovers the product works—maybe a little too well. When a sample case spills at a bowling alley, the tonic transforms every bowling ball in the place into a hairy mess, turning the angry barber he'd wronged into an unlikely business partner with a very profitable problem on his hands.
Merry Mouse shows off some impressive lasso skills to an admiring friend, but when he attempts to rope what he thinks is a bunch of flowers, he accidentally tangles with a Native American chief whose feathers he's disturbed. With trouble hot on his heels, Merry Mouse makes a hasty escape in this slapstick romp from Funny Tunes #2.
Space Mouse and a companion arrive on an unfamiliar planet and venture out to explore its peculiar inhabitants—beings with three eyes, four arms, and six legs who turn out to be surprisingly hospitable. As the tour winds down, both visitors and hosts come to the same bemused conclusion: each side finds the other remarkably strange.
