by Walter B. Brooks ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 19, 1957
Our old friend Freddy, the patriotic porker, again rises to the beat interests of his country -- this time by foiling attempts to steal plans for Uncle Ben Bean's flying saucer. Freddy, as president of the First Animal Bank, is in charge of keeping the plans safe in a vault. Poor Uncle Ben is dogged by dozens of spies; in fact his room is searched at least eight times a day. Freddy, armed only with a water pistol filled with perfume and aided by mice, moles, and his old friend, Jinx the cat, saves the plane after breathless encounters with spies and enemy agents. Constant in its appeal.
