Tonight on the Disney Sunday movie.

A burnt squirrel cat has inherited millions of dollars. He's got nine

five million dollars, and one big secret.

Thank you. I can talk.

Now the fur's really flying.

Come here, cat, cat, cat. He's not getting away this time. Let's go. I can

it already.

Cat. The money.

When a cat talks, it's Catastrophe with the richest cat in the world.

Well, I couldn't be happier myself.

Good evening and welcome to the Disney Sunday movie. Tonight I'm proud to

welcome a new star in the Disney family, Leo the Cat.

Leo's steady rise to stardom did not come easy.

Like most actors, he began by walking his little paws off, going from one

audition to another.

Then came the cat food commercials, and finally his big break, a starring role

in tonight's Disney Sunday movie, The Richest Cat in the World.

Leo plays a cat, and I might say brilliantly.

who inherits $5 million, and that is to use all his feline skills to hang on to

the money.

It's the finest performance by a cat I've ever seen.

Absolutely fantastic.

Oh, thanks a lot, Mr. Eisner.

You're welcome.

Doctor. Yes, nurse. Now, remember, give him his medication every two hours.

Check his condition, and if anything changes overnight, call me immediately.

Right.

Doctor, something very odd just happened. It's probably nothing, but

what is it? Well, I was just walking past Mr. Kohlmeier's room, and I heard

people talking.

Two distinct voices.

But when I looked inside, there wasn't anyone else there, just Mr. Kohlmeier.

Nurse Roper, the mind plays strange tricks as the end draws near.

But, Doctor, I'm not dying. He is.

I know that, dear.

I'm the doctor, remember?

And the doctor says if a man wants to talk to himself in his final hours, let

him.

Well, I think this is it.

No regrets.

You've been a good friend.

And I want you to know that I've left you well provided for.

Everything will be the same.

Except... I won't be around.

Oscar, come on, please, don't talk like that. We're a team, you and me,

remember?

Sorry, Leo.

I'm afraid you're going to have to do solo.

I miss you, buddy.

Yeah, but we've been together for so many years, Oscar. I mean, you can't

me now. What am I going to do if you go?

So close, Uncle Oswald.

Oscar.

What will happen now, Dad?

Well, we'll just have to wait and see, son.

But where will we live?

What will you do?

Will you get a new job?

It all depends on what Mr. Kohlmeier wanted, honey.

On the local scene, A Birch Grove cat has inherited millions of dollars.

Two weeks ago, millionaire Oscar Kohlmeier died.

Today, his will was read, and his cat has been named principal heir.

That's right, his cat.

Here's Ellen Rayburn with her report on the richest cat in the world.

Leaving money to cats is nothing new. History tells us that Cardinal Richelieu

of France and Three Musketeers fame left a fortune to his 14 cats when he died

back in the 17th century.

And in more recent memory, Dr. William Greer of San Diego left his two pets,

Hellcat and Brownie, $415 ,000.

But Hellcat and Brownie Greer are mere pikers compared to Leo the Cat

probably history's richest feline heir.

Leo's fortune is worth more than $5 million and includes all this, the

the car, the grounds, and a small staff, Gus Barrett and his wife, Louise, who

are also the appointed executors.

Here beside me is Leo Kohlmeier, the world's most eccentric millionaire.

Well,

I guess the cat's got his tongue.

But there is another side to this event.

There's the sad story of the disinherited.

Victor Rigsby, a hypnotherapist, is the only known blood relative of the late

Mr. Kohlmeier. If it weren't for Leo the cat, Mr.

Rigsby would be the millionaire and not the four -legged feline.

We went to his house to talk to him today.

Whatever Uncle Oscar wanted is okay by me. Besides, there's nothing we can do

about it.

What do you mean there's nothing we can do about it?

Well, Mr. Rigsby, it all boils down to this.

You've been left $25 ,000 pursuant to the will of Mr. Oscar Kohlmeier,

Now, that $25 ,000 is left to you free and clear with the proviso that you do

not contest the will, which leaves the bulk of the estate to a cat.

named Leo.

Is that a house cat?

Of course it's a house cat.

What did you think it was?

Well, I don't know. With five million, I expected something more significant,

like a lion or a tiger.

Maybe an ocelot.

It's just a house cat.

Now, isn't there anything you can do?

Well, if you'd like, we could take a chance and contest the will.

But, of course, that will take time.

And if we lose, you lose everything.

Now, that means $25 ,000.

Are you willing to take that risk?

We certainly are.

Right, Ian?

Absolutely.

Gross injustice has been done to me, and I am not going to take this sitting

down. Sit down, Victor.

Now, if you do intend to pursue this course of action, you must be scrupulous

your activities so as not to take the case.

Now, by that, I mean... You must have no association with this cat. Don't see

him, don't speak to him, don't communicate with him in any way, shape,

Is that clear?

Perfectly clear, Mr. Ottinger. We won't feed him, pet him, rub his belly, pull

his mangy little teeth. All right, Mrs. Rigsby.

All right, I'll arrange a formal hearing as soon as possible so we can get a

final determination.

Is there no other option?

I'm afraid not. A hearing is your only recourse.

Unless the cat dies or vanishes into thin air.

That's it.

Paula, maybe we should just take the 25 grand. Forget about all the... Let that

animal have the rest?

No way. But the lawyers will take forever.

Cost of fortune. And if we lose... Forget the lawyers. They're just our

What do you mean?

You heard what the man said.

There's no cat. There's no cat air, right?

What are you suggesting?

here all the time.

Lost, run over, wolves eat them.

Remember the old expression?

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

You and I should have no problem eliminating some stupid old cat.

And all the money will be ours. Will or no will.

Exactly. Now let's go.

I've been saying all week I'm going to fix this. And by golly, tonight is the

night.

Why don't we just buy a new one, Dad?

Ah, buy, buy, buy. It's easy for you kids to say.

Listen, why pay for something when you can fix it yourself?

Oscar Kohlmeier may have had $5 million, but he never threw away a dime.

I mean, when something broke, well, I was there to fix it.

Of course, now that he's gone, things don't.

quite as much.

You know, Gus, now might be the perfect time for us to take that vacation we

were talking about.

Vacation? Honey, we just took a vacation.

That was three years ago.

To the Inventors Convention in Cleveland.

We should see the world.

Let's go to London.

Or maybe Paris.

Or the North Pole.

We can't go anywhere yet.

Just because things in the big house have quieted down doesn't mean that

nothing to do here.

Oh, Gus.

Besides, Europe is expensive.

All right, we'll discuss London later.

Bar, have you finished your book yet?

Almost. Well, almost isn't good enough.

Why don't you just stick around and help me here, and then you can feed Leo his

dinner. Again?

Again. And then... You can practice your reading.

Yeah, that's right, son.

You gotta be a good reader to get ahead.

Son, you could be a doctor.

Or a lawyer.

Or even the President of the United States.

Me? The only thing I know how to do is fix things.

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese. I lost my poor meatball

when somebody sneezed.

Oscar,

it's just not the same without the harmony.

Oscar, if he brings me liver once more, I'm coming to join you.

Oh, no, he's got those books again, too. If there's anything worse than liver,

it is listening to a geography lesson from a kid who can barely read.

Mr. Leo!

Mr. Leo, dinner's here.

I brought you your favorite.

Fried lobster?

Liver.

Oh, I should have known.

What's the matter? Yeah, boy.

Not hungry?

Maybe he likes a little milk. Milk?

After years of the finest champagnes, he's going to have to do a lot better

that.

Not thirsty either, huh?

I know. What you need is a little attention.

I'll reach you for a while.

Oh, that's very exciting.

That's wonderful.

Mm, yes.

First he starves me, now he tortures me.

Also then, it's geography, Mr. Neal. You'll like it. The longest

river in the United

States is the Miss

Miggy Mighty Miss.

It is hippie.

It is over.

and afford some dancing girls. This kid is driving me crazy.

In the days of the pioneers,

the Mississippi was traveled

on by many.

Yes, in the days of the pioneers, the Mississippi was traveled on by many

boats.

You can read.

Of course I can read. And you could, too, if you would only pay attention and

learn to concentrate better.

You can talk better. That's right. And I can see and hear and smell and touch

just like you. Correct that better than you. Now you bring that book over to the

table before you drive me bananas.

Sit down. I'm going to show you a few simple steps to reading.

One, put the book on the table and sit facing it.

Hey.

Two, stop wriggling around.

All right?

And three, you can always go back. After you've sounded out all the words, read

the sentence again until you understand what it means.

Then go on.

But that's so slow.

Trust me, kid. With practice, it'll go faster. And four, if you're stumped...

Ask for help. I mean, you must have known steam bath was the wrong word.

but sometimes these books are so weird, you can't even tell.

Ask anyway.

Okay, should I start over?

Yeah, but later.

In the meantime, you and I have another subject which needs to be discussed

right away.

So, have you got all of it?

I think so.

French champagne.

Dover fillet.

So, Leo Corduroy.

Cordon Bleu. Cordon Bleu. Please, no mistakes.

You'll have me eating someone's pants legs.

Don't worry, Mr.

Leo. I'll figure out some way to get you all the things you like.

Even if I have to dig into my piggy bank.

Not necessary. I'll pay for it all. I've got a cookie jar full of petty cash.

Oh, one other thing. I don't want you telling anyone where you got that list

from or that I'm helping you with your reading or that I can talk.

Okay. Promise?

Promise. Now get the heck out of here. I've got to see if I can find something

tasty to eat that'll liver.

Like one of Oscar's old shoes.

Bye, Mr. Leo.

Ow. Ow.

I'm so sorry.

Ow.

Can you see anything?

What's he doing?

I don't know.

I don't know. It's too far. It's too dark.

All I can see is that Barrett boy coming out of the cottage.

I wonder what he's doing there.

They're beating everything.

Come on, we've got to get closer.

Quiet.

Well,

well, well. If it isn't my good friends, the Rigsby's.

I have to give them a proper welcome.

doing this.

Why? How can you have a million reasons why? Now move.

Stay. Stay. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.

Keep getting away.

Come on.

after these messages.

The Disney Sunday Movie.

Brought to you by M &M's Chocolate Candies. The milk chocolate melts in

mouth, not in your hand.

Done at last.

Oh, geez.

How about some M &M's?

We now continue with our program.

What is it?

I've got to talk to you. Bart, you're crazy.

Cats don't talk. People talk.

We're the only animals that do. What about parrots?

All right, parrots talk too.

But cats do not talk.

Leo!

Mr. Leo!

Why do you call him Mr.

Leo? Because he's older than I am and he's got all that money.

Mr. Leo!

Come on, Bart. Let's go home.

Mr. Leo, there you are.

Leo, I'm sorry.

I know I broke my promise. I know I wasn't supposed to tell anyone.

But I couldn't sleep, and Veronica's just my sister.

Well, it's not like she's a real person or anything.

So I went across the hall and told her about you. She doesn't believe me. She

thinks I'm lying. Talk to her, please.

No, I don't feel like talking now.

You do talk.

I heard you.

Could you always talk?

How did you learn?

I swear you to secrecy, and then what do you do?

You go and you tell the first person you see.

I'm sorry, Mr.

Neal. My privacy is very important to me. But since you're already here, I

there's no use denying anything.

Now, you want to know if I could always talk?

Well, could you always talk?

Not when I was born.

I had to learn.

Ditto for me.

Oh, good night. Close the door on the way out. But I want to know.

How did you get this way?

All right, all right. I can see I'm not going to get any sleep until I tell you

the story of my life.

Get comfortable.

All began a very, very long time ago.

You see, I'm much older than ordinary cats.

I'm very unusual.

My mother was a fine cat, perfectly normal, proud, clean.

Good example of the domestic shorthair.

Right after I was born, my father ran off the bum.

Well, Mom said I had his markings.

My brothers and sisters and I were raised in the back of a butcher shop.

It was wonderful.

But childhood doesn't last forever, and when I was one year old, Mom sent me off

to fend for myself.

I ended up living with the dock workers on the piers, but I knew there had to be

more to life than fish and rats.

So I entered the university in quest of knowledge.

The students were very stimulating, very generous.

There was always a lot to learn and scraps to eat.

It was an easy life.

But what about talking?

Apparently, it was a talent I always had, except I never knew it. Never until

met Oscar Kohlmeier, that is.

I was out roaming the countryside when I spotted Oscar's diner and decided to

drop in for a quick bite.

I entered the diner and saw Oscar for the very first time.

Spaghetti!

All covered with... All

covered with

cheese and poor meatballs.

When somebody sneezed, it rolled off

the table and down to the floor.

My new carpet and right out the door.

Right off the bat, I knew that here was a man who really needed me.

Quick, the oven!

you say that?

Well, I guess I did.

Oscar was shocked that I had spoken, and I was too.

It just came right out, and we got to be real good friends.

Sounds wonderful.

But what about the money? Where did that come from? And this house and

everything? Ah, that's another story. You see, Oscar didn't become a rich man

until we had been together for two years.

It had to do with the diner.

Oscar owned it and all the land around.

It was a strange place for an eatery, but Oscar had bought it cheap.

What we didn't know was that the time had come to build on the surrounding

and all of a sudden, Oscar's property was prime.

What'll it be, fellas?

We want to buy your diner.

And we'll give you $50 ,000 for it.

$50 ,000 for this diner?

How about $60 ,000? No.

Make it $75 ,000. We can be very generous.

But what do you want with a diner? It's not the diner we're interested in. It's

the parcel.

The land.

And you give me $75 ,000 for that?

Make it $80 ,000.

Think about it.

Excuse me, that's the bread man.

I'll be back in a second.

Don't go away.

You think we juiced him up enough? We better have. We're in up to the hill.

Without this plot of land, there'll be no highway, no shopping mall, no town.

Anyone who takes $80 ,000 for something worth a couple of million bucks deserves

what he gets.

He didn't have any pumpernickel.

Well, okay.

Where were we?

Somewhere in the vicinity of $80 ,000.

Not now, Leo. I'm busy.

What are you trying to do? Cut that out.

Oh, all right. Would you excuse me just one more second?

Fellas, I'll be back in just a second.

All right, now.

What is this all about?

Oscar, hold out. I'm telling you, they have a lot more money.

What do you mean? When you went out, I heard them talking. This is really a

-in -a -lifetime opportunity. See, those guys are taking you for a chump. You

gotta keep raising the ante. I promise I'll let you know when to stop.

But Leo... Trust me.

I've taken the liberty of bringing a contract with me.

We'll just fill in the blanks.

Great, great.

But I'm afraid 80 ,000 is not quite enough.

Okay.

Let's make it 100.

No, I'm afraid that's not enough.

Mr. Goldmeier, I don't understand your sudden change in attitude.

Now, we're being more than generous here.

Remember, there are plenty of other lots where we can set up our business.

125 ,000, our final offer.

Oh, you don't want to reconsider.

That's a lot of money to kiss away.

I'm sure.

Then good day, Mr.

Coldfire.

$125 ,000 out the door?

When they come back, ask for one and a half. million dollars.

Are you out of your mind when they come back?

Wave three considered, Mr. Komar.

How much did you have in mind?

A million and a half dollars?

That's reasonable.

to keep the mineral rights.

And it was a good thing that he did, because as it turned out, there was oil

that property, and that is where the real money came from.

Listen, it's dawn. I think you better get home.

And remember, kids, don't tell anyone, I mean anyone, that I can talk.

We won't, Mr. Leo.

Bye. And another thing, please don't call me Mr.

The Disney Sunday movie will continue after these messages.

Do cats love the great taste of friskies?

You bet.

It's the taste that has them jumping for joy and walking on eggs.

Friskies has a way of baking that great flavor right in.

The great taste of frisky is very satisfying.

Who's going to help the car buyer cut through all the confusion over finance

rates? Who else?

Chrysler, that's who, with cash, not confusion.

$500 or $1 ,000 cash back on every car and truck we build in America.

Need it for the down payment? Use it. Want the cash?

Take it.

$500 or $1 ,000 cash back.

plus our 550 protection plan. You made us the fastest -growing car and truck

company in America. So your Chrysler Plymouth dealers say, thanks again,

America, and nobody says it better.

It's Daddy's birthday, and I don't know what to get him. What do you do now?

What can you give him? He means so much to you.

Sometimes an old...

Meet Helen, our aspiring advertising executive.

Helen's not feeling very creative today because she's wearing one of those

diapers that leak.

Well, Helen, here's a big idea.

Kleenex Huggies diapers.

Huggies are form -fitting, and they're thick and absorbent with gentle, extra

-wide elastic at the leg. So Huggies hug to help stop leaking and help keep

babies happy.

Now Helen's wearing huggies, and that's all the inspiration she needs. Right,

Helen? Yay!

Wednesday, the countdown begins. Three, two, one.

That kid could be in a lot of trouble.

MacGyver, Wednesday.

Now back to our story.

Think of it, Gus.

Big Ben, the Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace.

Leaky roof, trees that need pruning, a broken sprinkler.

Look, we'll go away as soon as I take care of everything here, Louise.

But, Gus, we never go anywhere.

Well, and neither does that crud that's been clogging up the garbage disposal.

I'll change that in a second.

I'm finished.

I'm through. I don't want any dessert. I'm going to go up to the big house and

feed the cat.

I'm going to practice my reading.

Sure you are.

No dessert?

Hold on a second there, Buck. Are you feeling okay?

I'm fine, Mom. I just want to go.

Neil's probably hungry.

Hey, how's the little fella been doing up there on his own, son?

He's fine, Dad. He misses Mr.

Kohlmeier. But I'm going to take real good care of him.

Can I go now?

Oh, sure.

But slow down a little.

He reminds me of myself when I was his age. I mean, always on the run, getting

my hands into things.

He's sleeping quietly. Grab the animal and leave.

Victor, I can smell it already.

The cat.

The money. The money.

Leo. Oh, boy. At last. Supper time.

What'd you bring me? Shrimp scampi? Chicken cacciatore?

Not exactly.

No,

I let you down again, didn't I, Leo? No, no, no, no. It's quite all right. I'm

sure you did your best.

Isn't there any other way for us to get you some food? Hey, you know something?

There is.

Oscar and I used to do this all the time back in the old days.

Follow me.

Where are you going?

To culinary.

having my boy just a phone call away.

Vanity's Pizza Deluxe. Can I help you? Uh, yes. I would like a large pizza pie

to be delivered.

Now, what you want on it? Double anchovies, light on the sauce, and, uh,

the cheese, will you?

Hey, you want any crust?

Well, now that you mention it.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Deliciosa. The coleslaw room was a place where the

gladiolas fought.

What's that? A dueling flower show? You are not concentrating. Now sit up

straight and read it again.

I don't know why reading is so important anyway.

Reading is the door to knowledge, Bart. And unless you know how to open it,

you're going to miss out on a lifetime of amazing things. Now start over.

Maybe we'll make new mistakes.

Shh. I'm a hypnotherapist. I have to stir patients who need me. They were

before they met you.

What about my reputation?

The only reputation you need to worry about is that of a wealthy millionaire.

Quiet!

The early Romans burned insects.

That's incense, Bart.

Now stop reading. We have company.

Huh? It's the Rigsby's. I knew they'd be back. I just knew it. The Rigsby's?

He yelled at me last Thanksgiving when they came to visit Mr.

Kohlmeier. You collect your books and leave, and I'll handle them. But just

don't tell anybody, and I'll see you tomorrow.

But, Leo... Now, Bart... All right, but be careful.

Good. He's gone.

Let's go.

Boy,

is this going to be a breeze.

Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Yeah.

Shh, shh, shh.

You're going to make him nervous.

Get the food ready.

Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Guess what I have for you.

Never put raw liver into someone's hand without looking.

You wanted it, you got it. There he goes, after him. Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Come on, sweetheart.

Hold this.

Are you kidding?

Are you kidding?

Are you kidding, kidding, kidding, kidding?

Look what I have for you.

I'm after him. Wait.

I lost the liver.

Where's the liver?

Here it is.

in the way this time.

Come here, cat, cat, cat.

Come here, cat, cat, cat.

Come on, come on.

Come on, kitty, kitty. Come on, kitty, kitty. Come on, kitty, kitty. Come on,

baby. Where are you? Come on.

Something just moved in the corner. Okay, okay. I've got him now.

Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Kitty, kitty, kitty. Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Well,

I guess that ought to hold them for the night.

I love it when you rub me like that.

Oh, Leo, you're all right.

We thought something terrible happened.

As a matter of fact, something terrible did just happen. I was eating caviar on

the Riviera with the feline of my dreams when you rudely awoke me.

We're sorry. We were worried.

What did the Rigsby's do?

The Rigsby's?

Oh, those Rigsby's. I led them on a wild cat chase they will never forget.

And wait till they come back tonight.

They're coming back?

They didn't get what they wanted, namely me, so they'll be back.

What do they want you for?

I think the word is greed, Bart.

Maybe I should stay with you all day to protect you. No, no. What I want you two

to do is get off to school before you get in trouble. I can take care of

After all, I'm a cat. I'll always land on my feet. Then I'll come back after

school. Then we can spend some more time together. Bye.

Didn't you ever visit him?

No, you never let me.

Now, did you bring the cloth?

Right here.

Gas mask?

My jacket.

Gloves?

Now, remember, when I tell you to shoot, shoot.

Not a second before, not a second after. Got it. I'll have the cat carrier. I'll

be responsible for getting the cat. You just zap him good.

Right. And don't forget to take everything with us.

No one must know that any... Please get along with us already.

By the time we get out of here, inflation's going to have eaten up the

million bucks.

Look, there he is.

I'm ready.

Now remember, don't shoot until I say so.

Hurry up, or you're going to get away.

I'll be with you in a second.

Shoot,

Paula. What?

You idiot.

Can't you even put on a simple gas mask?

And why do you shoot?

Don't make noise, Paula.

Whatever we do, don't make noise.

That's right, Paula.

Don't be such a drag.

Eric, it was behind me.

Paula,

I've been thinking.

The wonders never cease.

There's no reason why we have to be the ones to sneak into the mansion and take

the risk of being seen.

You know my patient, Howard Piggins?

I think he's the man to do this job for us.

Piggins? Victor, that's brilliant!

Rick, you're here!

Okay,

Piggins. You're free.

Howard, if I had known, I would have come sooner. Thank you for coming.

Remember, Rick, he's in your custody. I understand, sir.

You sure we can control him? Absolutely.

He's my best patient.

When he's under hypnosis, he listens to everything I say.

We hypnotize him and send him after the cat. Nothing will scare him. Once he's

got the animal, he'll forget everything. We'll be able to come up with a great

alibi.

Ah.

It's getting worse, Rigsby.

Every day something goes wrong.

The nights aren't any better.

I have these awful dreams.

Mm -hmm. That's nice.

That's nice. Angry and nervous all the time.

At any minute, I'm about to explode.

Don't you worry, Howard. I'm going to hypnotize you out of all that in no

I've been thinking, maybe hypnosis isn't the answer. Maybe we ought to try

something else.

No. No.

What do you mean?

Remember when I first came to you, I had this simple little problem of

daydreaming all the time?

People at work thought I was lazy.

So you cured me with hypnosis?

That's right, Howard.

It got me to tune out everything but what I was working on.

I tuned out my boss and got fired for insubordination.

Forget that. That was in the past. He hypnotized me out of concentrating and I

became a terrible insomniac.

I used to take these long walks down by the mall and think about everything I

ever wanted in life.

Then I became a klepto, got arrested and my wife left me.

Did I mention to you of the violence?

Yes, yes.

Last month you broke my window, but Howard, hypnosis can cure that.

Stick with the trying truth, shall we? I don't know, Rigsby.

Listen, I'm afraid.

Yesterday I got thrown off a bus and thrown out of a theater. I think I ought

go back to daydreaming and being out of touch with myself.

You will. You will. You have nothing to worry about.

Just relax. Remember, it is always darkest before the storm.

Before the dawn. You mean it's always quiet before the storm and darkest

the dawn?

Storm, dawn, whatever the important thing is.

I'm here to help you. Remember, your hypnotherapist always knows best.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Just relax.

Concentrate on my voice.

Rest your mind. Close your eyes and let yourself go, Howard.

Let yourself go. It'll be good for you. Chase your thoughts out the window.

Are you asleep, Howard?

Yes.

Forget about chasing people.

Do you hear me, Howard?

Yes.

What I want you to chase is a cat.

Concentrate on a big house, high on a hill.

Inside this house is a cat.

This cat represents all of your troubles.

You must go to this house and pack up all your troubles in a cat carrier.

Once you have the animal, you will feel free and released.

Bring the cat to my house.

Do you hear me, Howard?

Yes. I get the cat and all my troubles go away.

The address is in your coat pocket

when you wake up.

Take it out and get me the cat.

We'll continue after these messages.

These lonely pound puppies need someone to love.

Someone who'd love a little puppy love. For you, Grandma.

Pound puppies are as cuddly as real puppies.

He'll keep you company.

We now continue with the Disney Sunday movie.

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. Yet ever so

humble, there's no place like home.

Honey? Yeah? I don't understand Bart.

He's up in the big house all the time.

What does he do up there?

Oh, well, a boy needs his privacy, Louise.

A place he can relax, concentrate, get some of his homework done in peace.

But he used to hate doing his homework.

How could a child change like that overnight?

Kids change over time.

I'll see you later, guys. I'm going over to Debbie's.

Oh, wait, Veronica.

Have you noticed your brother's been acting peculiar these past few days?

He's been acting real normal lately.

I mean, why does he go up to Mr. Kohlmeier's old house all the time?

Maybe he's redecorating.

Louise,

I just want you to know that as soon as everything settles down a little more,

we will take that trip to Europe.

I want to go just as much as you do.

Okay, Gus.

I'll try to be more patient.

So Rigsby says, nice kitty, and I'll shoot Paula and run like crazy, and she

lets go with a long blast of chloroform right in his face.

Gee, Mr. Leo, you're wonderful.

You're my best friend.

You know, you're okay yourself.

You know something? You and I are going to do big things together.

Not just reading and writing, but math, I think science, maybe even a little

French.

I have a motto.

What is it? Inch by inch, life is a cinch. Yard by yard, it's very, very

I'll always remember that.

Come here. I want to show you something.

There's a book I want you to get for me, but it's on the top shelf. I'm afraid

you're going to have to scale the cliff somehow.

Way up there?

Oh, come on, Bart. You can do it. Just be careful and take one step at a time.

Go ahead, Bart.

Find the book called Wealth of Nations.

Wealth... Wealth of Nations.

Wealth of Nations. Here it is. Very good.

Now, remember that book. There's money in it. If you ever need it, it's yours.

You mean it?

Certainly. Oscar was always extremely generous with his money, and I intend to

be, too.

Oh, someone's here.

Bart? Bart, are you here?

Uh -oh, it's Mom.

are you?

Oh, God.

Bart, hold on, Bart.

What are you doing?

I was just getting a book.

Look at this.

You could have hurt yourself.

And what happened to that statue?

I don't know.

Well, I think I do. You've been roughhousing with the cat.

Now we're going right back to our house. You'll spend the rest of the evening in

your room thinking about what you've done.

good old shows like Lassie and Flipper and Gentle Ben.

Now, those were actors.

I guess I better go check on the kids. I was taking it.

I mean, I need a little fresh air anyway.

Of course I got to.

I'm the Harry Houdini of the furball set.

And you were all alone. So you came to see me? Well, you know, I mean, I didn't

want you to worry. I mean, thinking I was all locked up for the night.

I think about you all the time. But I'd much rather be with you.

I guess you're starting to grow on me, too.

So this is where your family lives, huh? It's quite compact, isn't it?

Yeah. Well, it's nothing like your house.

But then we don't have five million dollars.

No, I suppose it isn't anything like my big, old, empty, lonely house.

Gee, Leo.

Maybe you'd like to stay here tonight and be part of my family.

Stay here? With you? Well, I don't know. I suppose... Mark, I thought you were

going to sleep.

Now, son, lights out and heads down.

I better take a rain check on this family business.

Okay.

But I love you.

What is this? What's going on here? What is this guy doing? Goodbye, troubles.

Trouble. I'll say there's trouble. I've got to get out of here.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

You're dizzy.

You should have been here hours ago. He'll be here. He'll be here.

Meanwhile, I have got us the best alibi in town. We're completely covered.

Excuse me. Do you have any club soda?

No. I knew we couldn't trust that weirdo.

This is your fault, Victor. My fault? Yeah.

Every time you ever tried to get Piggins to do anything, you always made him

worse. It's like that last patient of yours, the one who was afraid of the

water. By the time they got through hypnotizing him, he ended up jumping in

walrus tank at the aquarium.

That man was beyond help. You were beyond help.

I should have known it would come to this the day you flunked out of medical

school.

I did not flunk out.

I withdrew for health reasons.

Right. Insufficient brain.

Oh those look yummy.

Yes, thank you enough.

For the first time in over a year, I feel so relieved.

All the troubles are just, they're just changed away.

Wonderful, wonderful.

You've made me very happy. Now, where's the cat?

In the car.

Bring him in to me.

No, I mean, no, I mean, you know, I couldn't do that. You see, I'm going to

the cat. Then whenever I get a problem, I'll just put it in the cage for the

cat. Victor?

Is everything all right here?

Fine, Reppin.

Here, have a weenie.

Howard, don't be ridiculous. You don't need the cat anymore. You're fine.

It's mine, and as long as I have him, I'll never need you again.

Great plan, Victor.

We'll return after these messages.

Good old creamy peanut butter's gone.

Gone crazy with chips.

Got all rolled up and crisp.

Peanut butter boppers.

It's creamy peanut butter, a crispy coating, and a whole lot more.

Peanut butter boppers. New from Nature Valley.

Sarah Lee introduces Bagel Time Bagels. The bagels you want to take time to eat.

Eat them slow.

Leave it to Sarah Lee to make bagel time. The bagels that are big, crusty,

I know my mama loves me. How do I know?

Cause my skippy does me so.

She gives me love.

Put a little love in lunch with Wholesome Nutrition's Skippy, the only

national brand to give both high protein and less sugar. Now that's nutrition

Mama loves me, loves me a bunch, because she always puts Skippy in my lunch. Put

Through the ages, Disney artists have created some of the most unforgettable

movie heroines of all time.

Snow White, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland.

and perhaps that most romantic Disney heroine of all, Sleeping Beauty.

Hers is a love story filled with wonder, with adventure, with the kind of charm

and magic that is uniquely Disney.

Sleeping Beauty has become an animated classic for all ages.

Monday. Do you like to? Love's got Mark in the fast lane.

Maybe I ought to wear a belt around my neck.

Mark Castle and McCormick.

We now return to the Disney Sunday Movie.

The hunt for Leo the Cat continues.

Even as we speak, search parties are beating the bushes looking for him.

And,

of course, the accusations fly back and forth.

We are shocked to think that anyone could do such a thing to a wonderful cat

like Leo.

I am a cat lover, as you can see, and it makes me sick to think that anyone

could have harmed that.

Cute little fella.

Right, Rusty?

Come here, sweetheart.

Oh, yes.

You know, Rusty here is just as upset about this as I am.

So am I.

I mean, we didn't know Leo personally, but if he's anything like Rudolph here,

I'm sure we'd love him, too.

Rusty, I think the blame in a case like this lies with certain parties

responsible for Leo's welfare. I wouldn't be surprised.

If his caretakers did something terrible to Leo, just so they wouldn't have to

take care of the poor, precious thing anymore.

How do you know that he's responsible?

Well, Mr.

Rigsby is wrong.

My wife and kids took really good care of Leo. In fact, we have nothing to gain

by his disappearance.

But Mr. Rigsby sure does.

So the fur keeps flying as both sides in this cat fight get their licks in. And

to make it all the more exciting, a reward of $100 ,000 has been posted by

estate for the return of Leo Kohlmeyer safe and sound.

If you see a cat that looks like this, bring him to the 12th Precinct in Birch

Grove and collect your reward.

Must have been there for days. Oh, cold and scraggly.

I bet I'm good.

No, I'm sorry.

That isn't Leo.

Sure it is.

Like I said, he's a bit scraggly.

Hey, maybe under better light? Okay, lady, let's go. No, no, wait. I promise

you, this is Leo.

I got him.

I got the fella.

He put up an incredible fight. I had to chase the ball over the place, but...

There he is.

I can't do this much longer.

We've got to go through with this, Louise.

Thank goodness there wasn't a million dollar moose...

It's my friend.

I'm sure Mr. Rigsby took him and we've got to find him.

Bart, what can we do?

Everyone in the whole city is looking for him.

Maybe he'll escape and come back.

Maybe.

I'm sure if he's still alive. What do you mean, if he's still alive?

Bart, you've got to face it.

If I were Mr. Rigsby, then I could not tell you.

I'd get rid of him right away so there'd be no evidence.

I wouldn't, but Mr. Rigsby would.

Thought I'd find you two here.

Any news?

I'm afraid not.

Maybe he'll turn up.

There's always hope.

Remember, your father and I and the police are doing everything we can to

him.

There's something else I want to tell you.

Mr. Rigsby has set a hearing at 4 o 'clock this Friday concerning the

Without Leo, he's going to win hands down.

If that happens, we're going to have to move.

Move?

That's only a week away.

Where will we move to?

Well, your father is looking at a house in the valley right now. Sort of a fixer

-upper. Dad?

With a fixer -upper?

Oh, Leo, where are you?

Trapped like a rat.

Oh, I gotta find some way to get out of this place.

Oh, no.

Here comes the fruitcake again.

Hey, kitty cat.

Where are you?

Gathered, you and I are going to straighten out my money.

Oh, Robert.

Is this guy for real?

I know you're under there.

You can't hide forever.

It's time to eat. If you don't eat, you'll die.

And I can't let that happen to my new friend.

Hmm, what's this?

All right, I'll leave the food here for you. You can come out when you want.

Bye, Kitty.

What a great day.

Well, I wouldn't take much more to break out of this hooskow than after that.

Oh, I do believe it will be time to reach out and touch someone.

Paula!

What are you doing, dear?

Get rid of these disgusting rags. Some of that stuff is brand new.

Victor, in a few days, we'll be millionaires. From now on, we were only

best.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Paula.

I gave you this as a gift.

by disappearing with that cat takes us completely off the hook. What if

something goes wrong? What if he doesn't get rid of the cat? What if the police

find out? He's my responsibility. Calm down.

The Piggins is gone.

And so is that cat.

In two days, you and I are forever rich.

So relax.

There is nothing to worry about.

Oh, cheer up.

When you go through all your stuff, you're bound to find things you've

you've ever had.

It'll be like finding new treasures.

Do we really have to move?

Oh, it'll be okay, Bart.

Well, moving is, uh, well, it's like, like a vacation.

But the Rigsby's took Leo.

Well, we don't know that for sure, and it's not nice accusing people without

solid proof.

Well, that's right, son.

Hey, well, let's just be thankful for the good times we had here together,

Well, anyway, as long as we're a family, it doesn't matter where we live, right?

Right.

Moving will be fun.

Whoa!

Yeah.

Oh, hi.

Yeah.

Wherever you are, I could have never done it without you.

The Disney Sunday movie will continue after these messages.

I was cramming for a huge history final on 500 pages of text.

It was way after dinner, and I was getting hungry.

Snickers satisfies you.

You eat a Snickers and you say, okay, now I can face the 17th century again.

Snickers really takes care of the hungry. Packed with peanuts, peanut

nougat, caramel, and milk chocolate.

Mmm.

Satisfies you.

Packed with peanuts, Snickers really satisfies.

If I want something to tide me over, I go for Snickers every time.

Big story, Irv. But they finally found a substitute for the school roll. Nutri

-Grain's new almond raisin. What is this, nuts and twigs?

Try almonds, raisins, and these great new flakes made with brown rice.

But there's no sugar in it. Irv, you're going to love the taste, even though

it's healthy.

Hey, don't you have a story to write? How's this?

Man eats healthy food and lives.

The amazing taste of Nutri -Grain's new almond raisin. It's news.

Show and tell time.

Another teddy bear?

My teddy's name is Teddy Ruxpin. He talks, he tells stories, he...

Four batteries not included.

Hi, my name is Teddy Ruxpin.

Can you and I be friends?

Yes. I really enjoy talking to people.

I would like you... Teddy Ruxpin, the storytelling bear, comes with

Now from ABC News in New York, Jack Whitaker. Good evening. The field is set

the 64 -team NCAA basketball tournament, which begins this week at 16 sites.

Top -ranked Duke heads the East region, Kentucky the Southeast, Kansas in the

Midwest, and St. John's goes West.

In today's action, Duke won the ACC tournament, edging Georgia Tech. Johnny

Dawkins scored a game -high of 20.

Kansas held on to win the Big 8 tournament.

And in the Metro Conference, Bill Wagner led Louisville with 31 points as the

Cards top Memphis State. Now this.

My brother said invest in pork bellies. My tennis partner said microchips.

Luckily, I found a really solid investment.

We now continue with the Disney Sunday movie.

Now that you have seen the mansion, let's get your opinion on the cottage.

Pardon me.

Hello? Hello?

Try to see through the shabbiness for any possibilities.

Excuse me. I suppose the first thing we could do is sell off the interior.

Chinese.

What good is it? Well, you could always donate all this worthless stuff to

charity. That's always good for a tax write -off.

Gus, what are they doing in our home?

Well, I was trying to find that out. It might be best to liquidate the entire

estate.

Or perhaps we could check the zoning regulations and turn this property into

something lucrative, like a health spa or an old folks' home.

Now you're thinking along the right lines.

How about a bed and breakfast lodge?

Rigsby's Resort. We could get some neon lights. Neon lights?

Mr.

and Mrs.

Rigsby, may I remind you that the court hearing isn't until tomorrow?

Well, that's right.

And until then, you people are trespassing on my property.

Now, get out.

Indeed. Well.

Come, Victor, Mrs.

Sims. Let these commoners enjoy their last day of the good life.

We'll be back tomorrow.

To clean out whatever's left.

In a few hours, we'll be millionaires.

Knock it off.

My back.

No.

No.

Don't leave me behind.

There's room on the lifeboat.

Take me.

Take me.

This could be my chance.

The water.

Swim for it, Howard.

Stroke, stroke, kick, kick. You're getting closer. You can do it.

Stroke, kick, stroke, kick. Good, Howard. Getting closer.

I just hope I get to visit Debbie after we move.

Hello? Bart, it's me, Leo.

Leo. Leo, is it really you?

We thought you were dead.

Is that Leo?

Oh, yes, it's definitely me. As Mark Twain once said, the reports of my death

have been greatly exaggerated.

Where is he? Where is he? Where are you? Where are you?

I was just about to tell you. Now, listen. There's no time to lose. First,

paper and pencil. Veronica, get me a paper and pencil.

Got it. Shoot.

Write this number down.

311 -555 -6674.

It's the phone number I'm calling from. The man who's holding me here is named

Howard Piggins.

Piggins. Got it. Good. He's kind of out to lunch, so be careful. There's no

telling what he might do.

The guy who's holding him is having lunch.

Oh.

Not having lunch. Out to... Oh, never mind.

Here are some more clues. I can hear the bells of a church. I know it's very

close. Wait a minute.

Church.

C -H -U -R... Give me that pencil. You're too slow.

No, I can do it. Please don't fight.

I really don't have much time. Are you listening? I'm listening.

Theo said not to fight.

I'm near railroad tracks.

The train comes by every day at 1, just when the church bells ring, so I don't

think I'm more than half a mile from the tracks.

last thing. There's a seafood restaurant nearby. I'm sure I can smell it.

Okay, Leo. We'll get there as soon as we can.

Now, you can use the money that's in the wealth of the nations to get here, so

please hurry.

Okay. Bye, Leo.

Let's go to the mansion.

Got it.

Bart, the operator said there's a Howard Piggins in Richmond.

At this number.

Only there's no address listed.

That's where all the other clues will come in handy. Let's go. Wait a minute.

How?

Ridgemont is over 50 miles away.

Don't worry.

We've got plenty.

Leo thinks of everything.

There's a church on the other side of town.

How come I'm sure this is the right one?

The tree! The tree! What time is it?

One o 'clock. Just like Leo said.

He must be nearby.

Then we have to find a seafood restaurant.

This way!

house it is.

Just have to check every one.

Let's go.

I don't see anyone named Payton's.

Let's go the back way. Good idea. Just make sure no one sees us.

How about this one?

Seems quiet.

Should we try and look in?

All right, you go first.

We both go together.

All right.

Leo.

Leo, are you here?

It's crazy.

We'll never find Leo this way. There are too many houses around.

But we've got to. We've got to think. Inch by inch, life is a cinch. Yard by

yard, it's very hard.

We can't check every house in the area.

What if they all have lame dogs?

We need more clues than a church, a train, and a fish restaurant.

We have one.

So good to see you again.

Well, I couldn't be happier myself. But we really got to get out of here fast.

Howard could come back any minute.

Uh -oh, it's him.

Hi there, kitty cat.

I finally figured out why you're not eating.

You haven't been liking what I've been serving.

So... I went out and got you something special.

Liver! Yeah.

Now, I want you to be happy, because when you're happy, I'm happy.

Achoo!

Howard, don't take another step.

You know, I'm hearing things, so that liver's a little too fresh.

Your hearing is fine, Howard.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

I finally lost it.

I've gone off the deep end. I knew I couldn't stay well for long.

Yes, but now that you've hit bottom, there's no place to go but up.

The cat.

I'm listening to a talking cat.

Well, I'm hallucinating.

I should have listened to the doc.

Nah, Rigsby's a phony. Work with me.

You?

Absolutely. You know, I've studied a great deal of psychology.

I'm really quite an expert. Now, lie down.

Lie down.

Why not? You studied psychology.

Like this?

Very good.

All right.

Now, why don't we delve into your subconscious, Howard? Let's try to find

why you're so unhappy, why you're such a unique individual, all right?

Well, it all began about a year ago.

Good.

Tell me about it.

I had this simple little problem of daydreaming all the time.

People at work thought I was lazy.

Then one day I saw Rigsby's ad in the back of a comic. Then I became a klepto.

So I decided to start stealing things down at the mall.

Then I got arrested.

But when my wife left me, that was the final straw.

Don't you see, Howard?

There's nothing wrong with you at all.

Is it?

No, you're just a very sensitive person who has been responding poorly to a

number of badly chosen hypnotic suggestions. Just be rational, Howard.

Control your temper, don't be so insecure and self -conscious, and above

speak to your wife.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right, Doc.

I'll do that.

Hey, you know, I'm feeling better already.

That's wonderful, but unfortunately your session is over and we have to go.

Go?

Where? Don't worry, I'll tell you all about it in the car. Bart?

At last.

How long have you two been there?

Hurry. There's only one hour left.

We'll continue after these messages.

Load it up.

Pile it high.

Lay it on.

Only one chip is thick enough to take it. The Works.

A new flavor from O 'Grady's brand potato chips.

Never been nothing like the fully loaded taste of The Works.

A mountain of a chip.

Right. Thick with flavor.

New from O 'Grady's. The works brand.

The more potato potato chip has it all.

Mr. Oakner, time for your conference call.

Get me Jackson and Peoria and find Broadway. Today, businesses need phone

systems that do more than handle calls. So ITT created System 3100.

His calls were forwarded. I'll page him. The ITT3100 is a family of digital

It handles data and voice. It even grows with your business. Mr. Oakner, it's

Yes, dear. No, dear.

How much your cat will love it.

Fancy Feast. Good taste is easy to recognize.

Now in three new varieties.

Now back to our story.

So Rigsby's a quack, eh?

I should have known by the way he always overcharged me.

I'm in pursuit of a four -door station wagon, light over dark, heading south on

Highway 5.

23 -103 in progress.

Howard, I think we'd better pull over.

Oh, just what we all need.

Delays.

Okay, buddy, let's see your license.

License? Oh,

you must be joking, officer.

Who'd give me a license? Well, with the way I drive, we... Quiet. Yes.

Please, officer.

I'm Bart Barrett, and this is Leo the Cat, and we're really in a hurry.

Leo the Cat?

The richest cat in the world?

Yes. Yep, this is him.

So, a speeder and a pair of cat thieves.

Okay let's go. You're all under arrest.

The Honorable Judge Putin.

Please be seated.

Court is now in session. The next case is Rigsby's versus the estate of Oscar

Kohlmeyer.

Veronica, we've got to get out of here.

Oh, now's our chance.

Also, Your Honor, I have a picture of me and Uncle Oscar on a fishing trip last

spring.

I love that man like a father and his cat like a son.

Mr. Rigsby. And with us today...

is Honest Reverend Green, who was at my home the night the missing party

disappeared. Mr. Rigsby, please. Wait, wait, Your Honor. I've got plenty more

evidence to show you.

Mister, we've got to get to the courthouse.

Sorry, kid, off duty.

The detergent.

Yeah, so's my lunch barrel.

Here, dinner's on it. Now let's get going.

You got it.

Every time I look at the kitten.

And here, my favorite play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Makes me shudder thinking of how that poor creature burns his furry little

on that metal shack.

It's really sad. You should read the play. And here, Your Honor, I have a

receipt from the Humane Society for a generous contribution I made last year.

Mr. Rigsby. No, no, please, Your Honor. It's the least I can do.

Mr. Rigsby, this is all very nice, very thorough.

But it has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Mr. Comer's estate has been left to his cat. This is fact.

Today's case concerns whether or not this cat is of able body to accept his

inheritance. His presence in this courtroom today will determine that.

What time is it now?

Ten after four.

Then the hearing has already started.

Hey, pal.

Can't you drive any faster?

Say, why don't you watch where you're going, man?

Babe, we need to buy our bicycle. We've got to get to the courthouse. Hey, no

way, OJ. This bike is my job, my life, my existence.

Here's that in your bag.

Deal. So then this cat is nowhere to be found.

Well?

That's the way of cats, but the law is the law, and I must render a decision.

Please, Your Honor, we are still searching.

All we need is a little more time.

Out of the way! Out of the way! Here comes the other cat!

What's the meaning of this?

Mister! This is Leo the cat.

It's a lie.

This cat's a fraud, an imposter.

No, he's not. This is Leo. We know him anywhere.

So, Your Honor, I object.

Order in the court.

This boy. This is my son, Bart, Your Honor, and that is Leo the cat. It is,

Honor. I should know, considering I was with him for the past week.

Well, if this is the cat in question, things change considerably.

The court then must acknowledge the deceased's intent and hold for the named

beneficiary, Leo Kohlmeier. Cat keeps his estate.

And he shall live in Mr. Kohlmeier's home, and the Barretts shall remain his

caretakers. And live in the big house with him.
