Synopsis

The episode begins with the male Rescue Rangers perched on a ceiling fan, on the look out for new cases. When a little girl reports a missing cat, the police seem uninterested in offering more than fleeting aid. The Rangers decide this is a perfect case for them, and quickly make their way back to HQ to inform Gadget of their latest endeavour. Monty & Dale are duly sent to investigate with other cats in the area.

In the course of their investigation in Cat Alley, they find nothing but mice, and discover that more cats than they could ever imagine have also disappeared, at the hands (or should that be paws?) of mechanical dogs. Disguised as a cat, the pair encounters one of these robotic hounds, and are only saved from a fate akin to countless other cats by the Ranger Plane's intervention.

The Rangers' curiousity and tenacity eventually leads them to their first confrontation (in terms of pure 'date first aired' chronology) with Professor Norton Nimnul, who has an interesting use for the kidnapped kitties...
