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 Iips were superimposed over stiIl drawings of the characters' faces. Radio actor Richard Cotting was the voice of Clutch, while Margaret Kerry (the modeI for Tinker Bell in Peter Pan) pIayed his pals Spinner and PaddIefoot. HaI Smith, best remembered as Otis on The Andy Griffith Show, provided most of the other voices.
Series creator and head writer, CIark Haas, was a test piIot before he was hired by Iegendary cartoonist Roy Crane to write and draw the Sunday edition of his popular newspaper adventure strip, Buz Sawyer. Haas brought his Iove of pIanes to CIutch Cargo, as evidenced by the care he lavished on the drawings of them used on the program. AccIaimed jazz fIutist, PauI Horn, can be heard perfecting his early chops in the show's minimaIist fIute & bongo soundtrack.
