Episode synopsis
Underdog is shrunk by Simon's new evil device and is placed alongside Polly in a birdcage. Luckily, our hero's powers are still useful and they break out of the cage. Seeing that his shrinking of people with his trick flower is taking up too much time, Simon decides to put his shrinking water into a rainmaking machine. Simon and Cad return to the lab only to be tripped up by a trap set by Underdog and Polly. Simon reverses the trap, and catches the pair inside of a rat hole. An army of rats soon corners Polly and Underdog.
About Underdog
Underdog, also known as The Underdog Show, is an American Saturday morning animated television series that ran from October 3, 1964, to March 4, 1967, starting on the NBC network until 1966, with the rest of the run on CBS, under the primary sponsorship of General Mills, for a run of 62 episodes. It is one of the early Saturday morning cartoons. The show continued in syndication until 1973. Underdog, Shoeshine Boy's heroic alter ego, appears whenever love interest Sweet Polly Purebred is being victimized by such villains as Simon Bar Sinister or Riff Raff. Underdog nearly always speaks in rhyming couplets, as in "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"
