[Barking] [Clock bell tolling] [Male narrator] My story begins in London. Not so very long ago. And yet so much has happened since then, that it seems more like an eternity. At that time, I lived with my pet, in a bachelor flat just off Regents park. [Playing notes] It was a beautiful spring day, a tedious time of the year for bachelors. Oh. Thats my pet, Roger. Roger Radcliffe, a musician of sorts. [Chuckles] No. No, Im the one with the spots. My names Pongo. And you know, as far as I could see, the old notion that a bachelors life was so glamorous and carefree was all nonsense. It was downright dull. [Sighs] It was plain to see that my old pet needed someone.But if it were left up to Roger, wed be bachelors forever. He was married to his work.Writing songs. Songs about romance, of all things, something he knew absolutely nothing about. Oh, hes intelligent enough, as humans go. And I think you could say that Roger is a rather handsome animal in his way. I could see no reason why my pet didnt deserve an attractive mate. At least, I was determined to do my best. Of course, dogs are a pretty poor judge of human beauty. [Sighs] But, I had a rough idea of what to look for.

Hmm. Unusual breed. [Chuckles] Very unusual. [Chuckles] Oh, surely not. Well, now, what have we here? Hmm. Well, a little too short-coupled. Nope. I say... Oh, well I do say! Now, theres a fancy breed. Hmm... Perhaps a little too fancy. Yes. Thats much too fancy. Too old. Too young. It was a problem. A real problem. Well, now thats a bit more like it! The most beautiful creature on four legs. Oh, now, if only the girl... Well! Shes very lovely too. It was almost too good to be true. Id never find another pair like that, not if I looked for years. Ah, theyre heading for the park. A perfect meeting place... if I could only arrange it. Uh-oh... but Roger never

stopped work till after :. That would be too late. [Barking] [Moans, yawns] After 6 : already. Fancy that. - [Barking] All right, Pongo. All right, boy. [Barking] [Yipping] Pongo, boy, take it easy! Whats all the hurry? [Barking] Pongo, boy, slow down. I was afraid wed missed them. Perhaps they passed on by the park. Then suddenly... I spotted them. It was a perfect situation if I planned it right. I couldnt depend on Roger. I knew what hed do. Hed settle on the grass, puff his pipe and that would be it. No, it was all up to me. Well.

At first I had no particular plan, just anything to attract attention. You know, stir things up a bit. Pongo, you silly old thing! Come on. Cmon, lets have it, boy. Pongo! - [Yipping] Pongo! [Barking] [Pongo] For a while, it seemed to work. At least they had seen one another. Things were going along first-rate. But for some strange reason they left! Cmon, you old renegade. Were going home. [Pongo] But I wasnt giving up. I was determined that, somehow, they just had to meet. Oh! Ohhh! I beg your pardon. Im so sorry. Please excuse me. I must say, what on earth! Oh, dear! Oh, really. Good heavens. Of all the...

Ohh! Ahh, ahh! [Gasping, coughing] Oh, my new spring suit and my new hat!

[Roger] Ah, ah... Im terribly sorry. Please let me help you. Im so sorry. Pongo, you...! I dont know whats come over him. Im terribly sorry. Hes never acted this way before. I...

[woman] Never mind. Never mind. Please, just go away. Youve done enough.

Please? Oh. Oh, I say. Here, take mine. Oh. [Both giggle]

[Both laughing] [Man] Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health;

and forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her so long as ye both shall live?

[Roger] I will. [Pongo] For the first six months or so...

...we lived in a small house near the park,

a modest little place... but just right for two couples who were just starting out.

[Piano playing] [Sighs]

Perdita, darling, are you all right? [Chuckle] Oh, of course, dear. After all, dogs were having puppies long before our time.

[Chuckles] [Chuckles] [Pongo] Oh, thats Nanny, a wonderful cook and housekeeper. Shes such a kind, understanding soul. You know, at times she seems almost canine. Roger, dear, tea time. - [Barking] Tea time! [Banging on door] [Roger] (music) Be down in a minute

[piano music ends] (music) Ti tum ti ta ti (music) Ta tum ti ta tum [whistling tune] (music) Do you like my new song? (music) Ta tum ti ta tum (music) [Chuckles] Such clever lyrics. - [Chuckle] Melody first, my dear. And then the lyrics, hmm? [Both laugh] [Car horn] Oh, Pongo... its her. Its that devil woman.

[Vehicle approaching] [Car horn] [Tires screeching]

[Roger] Oh, must be Cruella, your dearly devoted old school mate. Cruella De Vil. Thats it! (music) Cruella De Vil (music) Cruella De Vil (music) If she doesnt scare you no evil thing will Oh, Roger. - (music) To see her is to take a sudden chill Ohh! (music) Cruella (music) Cruella (music) Shes like a spider waiting for the... kill

[doorbell rings] Roger, shell hear you. - (music) Look out for Cruella De Vil Let her in, Nanny.

Anita, darling! - [Anita] How are you? Miserable as usual. Perfectly wretched!

Where are they? Where are they? For heaven sakes, where are they? Who, Cruella? The puppies! The puppies.

No time for games. Where are the little brutes?

[Trumpet continues] Itll be at least three weeks. No rushing these things.

[Chuckle] Anita, youre such a wit. Here, dog, here. Here, dog. - [Growling] Cruella, isnt that a new fur coat?

My only true love, darling. I live for furs. I worship furs! After all, is there a woman in this wretched world who doesnt? Oh, Id like a nice fur, but there are many other things... Sweet, simple Anita. [chuckle] I know, I know! This horrid little house is your dream castle.

And poor Roger is your bold and fearless Sir Galahad! Oh, Cruella. Then of course you have your little spotted friends.

Oh, yes. Yes, I must say... such perfectly beautiful coats. Wont you have some tea? Ive got to run. Let me know when the puppies arrive.

You will, wont you, dear? Yes, Cruella. Dont forget, its a promise. See you in three weeks. Cheerio. Cheerio, darling. Ohh! (music) At first you think Cruella is a devil

(music) But after time has worn away the shock

(music) You come to realize (music) Youve seen her kind of eyes (music) Watching you from underneath a rock Youre no help. - (music) This vampire bat (music) This inhuman beast (music) She ought to be locked up and never released (music) The world was such a wholesome place until

(music) Cruella Cruella De Vil

[Anita] Roger, you are an idiot! [Laughter] Perdy? That witch. That devil woman.

She wants our puppies. Thats all shes after.

Dont worry, Perdy. Theyre on to her. Nothings going to happen to our puppies.

What does she want with them? She cant possibly love them. Oh, Pongo. I was so happy at first, but now I... [crying] Oh, I...

I wish we werent having any. [Thunder] [Pongo] Poor Perdita. Of course, she had no choice. The puppies arrived right on schedule... ...one wild and stormy night in October. [Footsteps] Ohh! Steady, boy. [Nanny] The puppies are here! Oh... the puppies are here! H... How many? Eight. Eight?

[Barking] By George, Pongo! Eight puppies.

Ten. - [Anita] Eleven. Eleven.

Eleven? Eleven puppies, Pongo, boy. Wait a minute now, wait a minute... thirteen!

No, no, no. Fourteen. Ohh... fifteen! - [Roger] Fifteen? And the mothers doing fine, love. You ducky thing, you. [Roger] Fifteen puppies? Why, Pongo, thats marvelous! Its fabulous! Why, you old rascal! Fourteen. Just fourteen.

We lost one. Oh, poor little thing. Oh, Pongo, boy. Its just one of those things. [Sighs] And yet... And yet I wonder. [Thunder] Look, Pongo. Anita! Nanny. Fifteen! We still have fifteen! Oh, Roger, hes all right! Thank heaven.

See? Hes just as good as new. Can you imagine, Roger, fifteen puppies!

[Thunder] Fifteen. Fifteen puppies! How marvelous. How marvelous, how perfectly... ugh! The devil take it. Theyre mongrels... no spots! No spots at all. What a horrid little white rat.

Theyre not mongrels! Theyll get their spots. Just wait and see.

Thats right. Theyll have their spots in a few weeks.

Oh, we, in that case Ill take them all. The whole litter. Just name your price, dear. Im afraid we cant give them up. Poor Perdita, shed be heartbroken.

Anita, dont be ridiculous.

You cant afford to keep them. You can scarcely afford to feed yourselves. Im sure well get along. [Chuckle] Yes, I know. I know! Rogers... [chuckle] Rogers songs! [Laughing] Enough of this nonsense. Ill pay you twice what theyre worth. Come now, Im being more than generous. Blast this pen. Blast this wretched, wretched pen! Aah! [Nervous chuckle] When can the puppies leave their mother? Two weeks? Three weeks? [Roger] Never. What? Were n-n-not selling the puppies.

N-N-Not a s-single one. Do you understand?

Anita, is he serious? I really dont know Roger. Cruella, he seems... Surely he must be joking!

No, no, no. I-I-I mean it. Youre, youre not getting one. N-N-Not one. And thats, thats... f-f-final. Why, you horrid man! You... you... All right, keep the little beasts for all I care.

Do as you like with them. Drown them! But I warn you, Anita, Were through. Im through with all of you!

Ill get even. Just wait. Youll be sorry, you fools! You... you idiots! [Door slams] [Barking] Oh, Roger! You were magnificent, darling. He was a blooming hero, maam! Indeed he was. A bloomin hero! Perdy? Perdy, darling? Were keeping the puppies, every single one of them.

My ol pet Roger, he told that devil woman off.

He told her off, Perdy. Shes gone. Darling, shes gone for good. Oh, Pongo.

Cmon, Thunderbolt. Cmon, Thunderbolt.

Go get him, Thunder. [Barking] After him, boy. Hell get that dirty ol horse thief. Old Thunderbolts the greatest dog in the whole world. Hes even better than Dad. No dogs better than Dad. Whats he going to do, Dad? Shh, shh. Lets just wait and see. [Puppy] Look at him run, the old coward. That old dirty Dawson! The yellow-livered old skunk! [Snarling] Id like to tear his gizzard out.

[Perdy] Why, Patch, where did you ever hear such talk? Certainly not from your mother. Watch out, Thunder. - [Patch] Dont worry, Penny. Hell get that yellow-livered... W... Well, hell get him, all right.

[Chuckle] Oh, dear. Go to sleep now. Close your little eyes. Thats a good little one. - [Ringing] [Ringing] Who do you suppose? Good evening, maam. Were here to inspect the wiring and the switches.

Electric company. But we didnt call for any inspection.

Yes, I know. See, theres a new act just been passed in Parliament. Under the heading of the Defense of the Realm Act. Article four, section . Its a law. And its for your own safety, maam.

I dont care what Parliament Realm or whatever it is says.

Youre not coming in here, not with the Mister and Missus gone. Oh, now. Come off it, Ducky. We got no time to palaver.

By Jove, thats strange... strange indeed.

[Clears throat] I suppose wed better investigate.

Ill send word for ol Towser to stand by.

[Barking] Please... stand... by. Whats he mean by that? I dont know.

Oh... maybe the ol boys found something!

Oh, I do hope so. They say the ol place is haunted or bewitched or some such fiddle-faddle. Fiddle-faddle and rot, sir. [Colonel] Just the same, use extreme caution.

No telling what sort of hocus pocus you might run into. [Gulps] Blast it all, Tibs. On the double, man. On the double. Yes, sir. Right away, sir.

Psst! - [Whispering] Rover. Spotty. Hmm. What?

Theyre mean ones, they are. Hey, look, Horace! Watch me pot His Lordship smack on the conk.

[Laughs] Hows that for calling em, eh? [Whispering] One... two... three, four, five, six... Hey, Jasper.

Come on, now, give us a swig, just a short one. Now, Horace, this hogwash aint fit for a fancy bloke like yourself. Besides, youd get crumbs in it, you cabbage head!

Pongos, youve made it. Good. Whats the word? Whats the news? Have they found our puppies?

Theyve been located somewhere north of here...

...in Suffolk. Oh, thank heaven.

Can you leave tonight? We can leave right away.

Ill go along as far as Camden Road and give you instructions. [Foghorn blows] [Great Dane] When you reach Wither marsh, contact old Towser. Hell direct you to the Colonel and the Colonel will take you

Oh, Pongo, it was her! Oh, someone you know? Sorry, sir. Theres no time to explain.

Oh, I hope were not too late.

Good luck, Pongos. [echoing] If you lose your way, contact the barking chain.

Theyll be standing by! [Horn honking] [Wind howling] Any news, Colonel? Not a blasted thing. Theyre lost or captured, or something or other.

Who knows what. Colonel, here comes a car.

[Colonel] Come now, Tibs. Dont be ridiculous.

They wouldnt be driving. Yes, I know, sir.

But its heading for Hell Hall.

[Gasping] it... Its stopping at the gate!

It is? Blast it all! Better see whats up.

On the double, man. On the double! Yes, sir.

Take over, Captain. Right-o, sir. [Man on TV] Im sorry, Mr. Simpkins. The answers no, no, no. Six down, four to go. Ive got no time to argue. Its got to be done tonight.

It must be a yes or no question, Inspector.

Do you understand? Tonight! [Horace] But they aint big enough. You couldnt get half a dozen coats out of the whole caboodle.

Coats! Dog-skin coats? Then well settle for half a dozen! We cant wait.

The police are everywhere. I want the job done tonight!

Howre we gonna do it? Any way you like. Poison them, drown them.

Bash them in the head. You got any chloroform?

Not a drop. And no ether, ei-ther.

Eye-ther! I dont care how you kill the little beasts, but do it... and do it now! [Jasper] Aw, please, miss. Have pity. Cant we see the rest of the show first?

[Horace] We want to see Whats My Crime?

[Gasping, coughing] Listen, you idiots! Ill be back in the morning. The job better be done...

or Ill... Ill call the police! Do you understand? I think she means it. Ah... Well get on with it... ...as soon as the shows over. Will you please sign in, sir? [Whispering] Youd better get out of here if you want to save your skins. But how? Shh.

Theres a hole in the wall there by the door.

Cmon, shake a leg. Psst. Kids, follow me. [Horace] Hey, Jasper, look! [chuckling] Its old Meathead. Yeah, what do you know... old Meathead Fauncewater.

Cmon, dont crowd. One at a time. One at a time! For our last contestant, meet Mr. Percival Fauncewater. If the panel fails to guess your unusual crime in ten questions, you will receive two weeks vacation at a seaside resort,

all expenses paid. That is, after youve paid your debt to society.

Who will take the first question? Inspector?

Mr. Fauncewater, could your crime be classified as larceny? A theft, burglary? Straighten out!

Form a queue, along the wall. Snap it up, faster. [Game show host] Mr. Fauncewater is a burglar by trade, but in this case, his crime was not burglary.

The answers no. One down, nine to go. Miss Birdwell? If your crime wasnt robbery, did you, uh... oh, dear, what I mean is, ...do something of a violent nature, that is...

Come, Miss Birdwell, were running short of time.

[Miss Birdwell] So sorry. Did you do someone in?

[Game show host] No, Miss Birdwell, Im sorry. The answer is no. Two down, eight to go. Mr. Simpkins? Psst.

Hey, kid, lets go. [Mr. Simpkins] Could it be a violation of a city ordinance? Uh, no. The answer is... Hey, get out of the way, you little runt!

[Game show host] Three down, seven to go. Inspector? [Inspector] Very confusing, I must say.

Surely, this crime could... - [Buzzer rings] Im terribly sorry.

Weve run out of time.

[Jasper] Aint that always the way! Would it be possible for Mr. Fauncewater to come back next week? Then we could finish our little game. Goodnight, audience. See you next week at this same time on Whats My Crime? Ah, oh well. Cmon, Horace. Lets get on with it. Ill pop em on the head, you do the skinnin.

No you dont, Jasper! Ill pop em off and you do the skinnin.

Head em off, Horace! Head em... [crashing] You bungling blockhead! Back here! Back here! Shh. Here they come. Double-crossin little twerps, puling a snitch on us!

After we took care of em. Theres gratitude for you.

[stammering] Pongo? Our puppies, are they all right?

No time to explain. Theres trouble. A big hullabaloo. Come along! Follow me! [Jasper chuckles] Now weve got em, Horace. Theyve run out of room. What have we got here? A couple of spotted hyenas?

Cmon, Horace. Give em what for. Im right behind ya, lad. [Grunts] Oh! You clumsy clod! Hey! Ill knock the spots off you. Let go!

Let go! [Barking] [Grunts] Well, by George!

[Yelps] You mangy mongrel! Ill knock your blinkin block off. [Shouts] Blast em, Tibs. Give em what for. No, Colonel. Retreat, retreat! Yes. Yes, of course. Retreat! Retreat, on the double!
