Rocky and Bullwinkle accidentally discover a new and amazing rocket fuel while baking Grandma Bullwinkle’s recipe for mooseberry-flavored fudge cake—an explosive discovery which propels them on a round-trip adventure to the Moon. Bullwinkle is immediately appointed "Director of Guided Moosles.”
The long-haired heroine lets her hair down.
Bullwinkle recites Robert Louis Stevenson's poem "The Swing."
The origins of Mr. Peabody and the WABAC machine: Mr. Peabody finds Sherman in the street being beaten up by some bigger boys. At first, he doesn't think that he's the right sort of boy- but when he sees how he is treated in the orphanage, Peabody decides to adopt him. At first, there's a problem when they won't let a dog adopt a boy- but he goes to court, and the judge decides that if a boy can have a dog, then a dog can have a boy! Sherman comes to live with Mr. Peabody, who builds him the Wayback Machine in order to keep him busy. They go back in time to Rome, and then to see Ben Franklin.
Because the rocket fuel recipe had been torn apart in the explosion, Bullwinkle knows how much but not what of, so he and Rocky set to work in their government laboratory, while at universities all over the country, cake baking is being added to the scientific curriculum. Meanwhile, after failing in an attempt to time-bomb the Moose, Boris and Natasha do what any intelligent, self-sufficient spy with real initiative would do: They wait for instructions!
Those little green men holding extremely ominous-looking weapons aren't congressmen, as Bullwinkle first surmises--they're Gidney and Cloyd, reluctant visitors from the moon, here to keep an invasion of earth tourists from cluttering up their homeland. Indeed, just to prepare for their visit, the two have had to practice dodging traffic, listening to jukeboxes, filling out forms, and breathing smog! Meanwhile, Boris and Natasha, twelve stories up, with a heavy safe as our heroes stroll by below, finally receive orders from headquarters: KILL MOOSE!
A Jay Ward send-up of this classic tale, with a whole new twist on the story you expect.
Bullwinkle reads and acts out the nursery rhyme, "Little Miss Muffett" while Rocky takes the role of the spider.
Whoops. The actual orders said, “*DON'T* KILL MOOSE," so Boris races the safe to keep Bullwinkle safe, and it's safe to say that he *almost* makes it. It's back to the laboratory for our heroes, where they turn out acres of cinnamon pizzas and hot fudge strudels, but none of it’s explosive. Just as Rocky's thinking hypnotism might be something to try, Swami Ben Boris and his assistant appear, putting Bullwinkle into a trance and, forthwith, the moose tells *everything* he knows—all about his early years in the Minnesota woods, his days at the Philpott School for Exceptional Children (he was the only student with antlers), his experiences in the army, where for three years, he served as a hat rack in the Officers’ Club—going on for a full twelve hours and boring everyone within hearing distance into dreamland, so that when he finally gets to the part about the recipe, the only ones awake to hear it are the two moon men. Forthwith, Cloyd raises his weapon and scrooches the big moose!
The scrooch gun has frozen Bullwinkle solid, and Cloyd and Gidney start off with their moosesicle as a trophy of their visit to a small planet, but Boris comes to in time to con them into leaving Moose for him, while they get Squirrel, the brains of the operation. While the moon men are telling Rocky they can't remember if they've scrooched Bullwinkle for eight hours or eight years...WHISK! Eight hours later, Bullwinkle thaws out in Boris's laboratory, where every word he says is monitored in another country by a faraway band of ominous spies.
A little fisherman goes out to fish and nets a mermaid. After the man gives in to her pleas to be let go, the mermaid is willing to grant him wishes for his kindness. After she mends his net, he tells his wife about it all. The fisherman's wife asks him to ask the mermaid for a new apron. This then snowballs into grander wishes till his wife attains Queen-like status. Overcome with power, she demands that her husband wish her to be a goddess. Upon meeting the mermaid again, she asks if he himself has any wish of his own. His one wish is that his wife be happy. His last wish spent, he returns to his ordinary little home and lives happily ever after.
Every move the moose makes is duplicated in the faraway spy lab. Bullwinkle cooks up some tasty chocolate pan dowdy that blows up when the spies try it, and when Rocky smells the delicious aroma, it leads him right to Bullwinkle, but Boris is ready with a helpful trapdoor that sends the plucky squirrel falling into another stew!
Possessing more courage than brains, our heroes set off toward Mt. Flatten, the location of Uncle Dewlap's mine. However, bad luck is on the way for them: Boris Badenov, in the guise of a mysterious motorcyclist, switches the road signs. Unfortunately, Rocky and Bullwinkle are unwittingly diverted into a secret military installation--which is filled with landmines! We ask the question: Are our heroes on the Road to Ruin?
In a pond in the Middle West, an ugly duckling wants to be a star, so he has a face lift that makes him good-looking, and missing the opportunity to play an ugly role.
On their way to silencing the Guns of Abalone, Rocky and Bullwinkle are shot from the sky, imprisoned, threatened with execution and stuck in a sinking ship on a storm-tossed sea. But they have it easy compared with what happens to Boris.

Professor Bermuda Schwartz invents a silent explosive called Hushaboom. Boris, disguised as a fruit peddler, steals the formula and writes it inside a banana. Bullwinkle wants to buy the banana, and Boris, always ready to make a buck, sells it. Since Bullwinkle can remember everything he ever ate, all is not lost. 2
Little Red Riding Hood is SO contrite after her booby-trapped basket explodes in the Wolf's face- especially as she's just discovered that he's a member of Riding Hoods Anonymous, a program designed to help him kick "the Riding Hood habit." And this is just the beginning of the story! A wicked, wicked satire that takes on 12-step programs, the DAR and the NRA in only four minutes!
