For the opening of Euro-Disney, the TaleSpin crew was invited to France to participate in the opening ceremonies. "I've always wanted to fly on one of those fancy modern jet planes," said Kit Cloudkicker dreamily.
"Then I'll get us some tickets," announced Rebecca.
They piled into the Sea Duck and took off for Ontario. After parking the Sea Duck at Toronto Island Airport, they took a taxi to Pearson International. They were so busy seeing the city that they failed to notice four beat-up CT-37's with machine guns landing...just the sort of planes that air pirates fly.
"Disney forgot to invite us," whined Mad Dog.
"They were probably going to deliver my invitation in person," said Don Karnage. "Let us follow Baloo."
Don Karnage and Mad Dog managed to sneak their swords by Security. Dumptruck and Gibber would have too, but Dumptruck said, "It will be fun to hijack a great big plane." Since it is a criminal offense to mention hijacking while going past Security, they were arrested. Dumptruck was heard to say, "Can't anyone hijack a plane in peace any more?" as the officers carted him away.
In the waiting room, Baloo and crew heard that the plane would be delayed due to mechanical problems. "I can't let that happen," gasped Wildcat. He went out on the runway and fixed the trouble with his monkey wrench and a very large wad of bubble gum.
Soon they were all seated and the big plane took off. "Wow!" cried Kit.
"What do you think?" Baloo asked.
"This plane is great, but I'm glad you don't fly one."
"How come?"
"The air is so thin up here I would have to wear an oxygen mask when I go cloudsurfing on my airfoil."
"I think I would like a plane like this," mused Miz Rebecca Cunningham.
Molly giggled. She was watching "Danger Woman" on the onboard movie screen.
Louie sniffed at his drink. "What kinda guava is this?" Before long, to the delight of stewardesses and passengers alike, Louie was whipping up Mango Fandangos, Krakatoa Specials and other of his famous fruit punches. His favourite part was his unlimited access to the bar.
Just then the plane bumped. "We are experiencing turbulence," said the captain.
Baloo looked angry. "What kind of a ding bat is flying this aircraft, anyway?" He stormed up to the cockpit with Kit tagging behind. "Where did you get your pilot's license, a cereal box?" said Baloo to the captain. Before long Baloo was the new captain. "Tell me how to get to France, Little Britches."
Kit couldn't make any sense out of the computerized navigation equiptment. He dusted off an old compass and map and began to direct Baloo.
Don Karnage decided to make his move. He snuck up to the cockpit and looked in. "The captain looks like Baloo!"
Just then the plane did a loop. "Funny," answered Mad Dog, "he also flies like Baloo."
"Pirates!" Kit cried. Baloo pressed a button and Mad Dog fell into the luggage compartment.
"You cannot get me so easily," said the head pirate.
Baloo sent the jet into a steep dive until the air was thick enough to breathe. Donny didn't know what was going on. "Put on your seat belts, it may get a little bumpy," warned Baloo. Then Kit flung the door open as Baloo executed the Baloo Barrelhouse Backwards Roll. Karnage and Kit fell out the open door. Kit whipped out his airfoil and glided back in, but Donny fell into the Atlantic Ocean with a splash. If the sharks have not found him then he is swimming still.
Baloo landed the plane in France. Molly left to get an ice cream cone. Rebecca went looking for her in the terminal and found her in the office, being babysat by two airport employees. "This is no way to run an airline!" she gasped. Before long, financially troubled Canadian became Higher for Hire Airlines, Inc. Rebecca was in her glory.
They loved the trip, but they had to return to Cape Suzette. The pirates decided that next time they would take their chances with their old rust buckets. As for the Sea Duck, Wildcat is happily working on a jet engine....
