In a town called Fairford, run by an evil dog known as Boris the Bulldog, a vigilante dared to rise up and inspire the citizens. His name was Hagglepuss. In his classic leather boots, waistcoat and bandanna, he frequently showed up to disrupt Boris's evil plans. Always by his side were his sidekicks, the very creative and crazy Dynamite Mice: Gregg, Dennis and Timmy.
" And so, citizens of Fairford, you will all be required to work on my, ahem, our new Dam," announced Boris. " You will supervised of course by the DSF (dog security force)."
The citizens looked at each other, confused, anxious and angry. One shouted, "We have our own jobs to do! Why should we build YOUR dam? What's in it for us?". He was quickly taken away to prison. That's how it was, all the able bodied citizens were forced to work without no food in the blazing heat. If one person spoke against or out of line, they were taken away.
Then there was hope. As the wary citizens began to falter under the whip, one stopped a security dog.
"How dare you!" he spat. " This will only land you in more trouble."
"Trouble is my middle name," said the stranger, as he pulled out his whip and lashed it at the dog's feet and sent him sprawling to the floor. The dog yelped for help, and soon attention was on the stranger.
"Could it be?" one citizen quizzed.
"Is it him?" came another query.
The stranger threw off his shackles, tightened on his bandanna, and thus Hagglepuss had arrived. More DSF had come to stop him, but they were no match as he pulled out his sword. With a cheeky grin and an even cheekier taunt, he baffled the DSF with his skills as he spiralled his way through the dogs, clashing swords here and there. The dogs, so amazed by this muskateer act, failed to notice that while he had been spiralling through them, he had been roping them together. Hagglepuss pulled on the rope and they could not move. The crowd applauded and hoorahhed! But more DSF were coming with Boris's angry voice bellowing as they came forward.
"STOP THAT CAT!" He yelled.
Hagglepuss looked worried, there were too many. Then suddenly half of them yelped as they fall down. The crowd rubbed their eyes in disbelief as the dogs disappeared. The other half stopped, also confused. Then came Gregg laughing as he dropped out of the sky, holding a stick of dynamite. He lobbed it at the dogs, and the bounced up high from the explosion. They fall back down to the earth with a bang and stumbled to their paws. As they did Dennis activated his trap and they were bundled into a bag attached to a tree. The remaining dogs began to look frightened but they ran straight for Hagglepuss. He drew his sword but then a loud bang in front of him caused the dogs to be catapulted into the air, along with an ashen-faced Timmy who too had gone airborne. They all crashed back down, as Hagglepuss, Dennis and Gregg were waiting to tie up the dogs.
With the DSF out of the way, the 3 Mice set about with charges to destroy the dam. Hagglepuss was once again congratulated by the town folk who all cheered.
"Great one Hagglepuss!"
"You sure showed them!"
He was less modest. "Thank you citizens. But we all did this. We must not let Boris and his cronies win!"
As the dam exploded into fireworks, Hagglepuss and the 3 Dynamite Mice vanished into the night sky, with Boris cursing the heroic deeds of them once again. Until next time!
