[opening sequence:
A cartoon of a woman sneaking past the ten villains in the infamous "Gauntlet of Villains"]

Rod Roddy:
Close Calls!

[the woman passes Mr. Van Louse the Landlord, Nero the Fiddler and Count Nibbleneck the Vampire. Nibbleneck growls and almost grabs the woman]

Rod Roddy:
Na-a-a-a-rrow Escapes!

[the woman passes Frank and his little friend Stein and Kid Rotten the Gunslinger, then ducks as she passes Jeremy Swash the Pirate, who almost slays her with his sword]

Rod Roddy:
Split-second Decisions!

[Standing up straight again, the woman passes Dr. Deranged the Mad Proffessor and Lucretia the Witch. The black cat on Lucretia's right shoulder points the woman toward a golden pot full of coins]

Rod Roddy:
And $25,000 in cash!

[the woman collaspses at the pot of coins and a word balloon flies out of her mouth]

Rod Roddy:
A combination guaranteed to make you say...

[the word "Whew!" appears in the balloon]

Rod Roddy:
WHEW!

[the cartoon dissolves into a shot of the set. A similar balloon with the word "Whew!" on it, raises up and out of sight]

Rod Roddy:
And now, here's the star of our show... Tom Kennedy!

[Tom Kennedy walks up on stage]
