The Perils of Penelope Pitstop

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that premiered on CBS on September 13, 1969. The show lasted two full seasons with a total of 17 half-hour episodes and released the last first-run episode airing on January 17, 1970. It is a spin-off of the Wacky Races cartoon, reprising the characters of Penelope Pitstop and the Anthill Mob.

Help!" spoken in an affected upper-class U.S. Southern accent, and she must get away from the evil Hooded Claw.
