Atomic Mouse #17
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAtomic Mouse encounters a professor who has created a new invention and a villain named Count Gatto who plans to steal the Rope Diamond from a yacht owned by the wealthy Sir Harry Bilgesworth. Using Invento's boat powered by a super-speed engine, Count Gatto attempts to drill holes through a dike to flood Mouseville and create chaos, but Atomic Mouse foils the scheme. In a separate adventure, a miser hires the circus to perform, then lies to Magic Bunny about where his old house is located so he can keep the circus profits; Magic Bunny discovers the deception and forces the miser to admit the truth and share the earnings with the circus performers.
When a fearsome dragon terrorizes Mouseville, Atomic Mouse is nowhere to be found—but Little Squeeky discovers the beast is actually a clever hoax by Count Gatto, who's using the panic to rob the village and pose as a heroic dragon-slaying knight. Atomic Mouse must race back in time to expose the villain's scheme before Count Gatto convinces the frightened townspeople to pay him a fortune for a dragon that was never real.
When the circus comes to Funny Animalville as a benefit for the orphans, Millie and Happy face a wrenching setback: the miserly Skinflint Sloth claims to own the lot and demands half the proceeds—or there's no show. When sabotage threatens to derail the whole event, Happy discovers that sometimes the real magic lies in calling on help from an unexpected ally. With Magic Bunny on the case, this benefit circus becomes far more spectacular than anyone imagined.
Willie the Worm and Sammy Skunk are competing in the mid-winter sports contest at Icy Inn, but their prize money dreams are interrupted when three thieves rob the lodge and make their escape down the mountainside on skis. Willie tumbles after them in a runaway toboggan, and through a series of wild mishaps—including a runaway snowball—ends up catching the crooks in the snow.
