Sign on for adventure with Clutch Cargo, his young pal, Spinner, and their dog, PaddIefoot, as they travel the globe on dangerous missions! Shifty crooks and spies Iurk around every corner, and deadly cliff-hanging perils await our heroes in every episode!
A surprise hit in children's teIevision of the Iate 1950s, the serialized adventure cartoon CIutch Cargo introduced audiences to the patented Syncro-Vox animation system. To keep production costs Iow, voice actors were filmed as they deIivered their dialog, and their moving lips were superimposed over stilI drawings of the characters' faces. Radio actor Richard Cotting was the voice of CIutch, while Margaret Kerry (the model for Tinker BeII in Peter Pan) played his paIs Spinner and PaddIefoot. Hal Smith, best remembered as Otis on The Andy Griffith Show, provided most of the other voices.
Series creator and head writer, Clark Haas, was a test pilot before he was hired by legendary cartoonist Roy Crane to write and draw the Sunday edition of his popuIar newspaper adventure strip, Buz Sawyer. Haas brought his love of planes to Clutch Cargo, as evidenced by the care he lavished on the drawings of them used on the program. Acclaimed jazz fIutist, Paul Horn, can be heard perfecting his earIy chops in the show's minimaIist flute & bongo soundtrack.
