Synopsis

Major Minor is told at the Adventure Club that he must finally capture Snagglepuss or he'll be kicked out of the hunter's group. He decides to go after the cat on his own, and he finds that a circus has already captured Snagglepuss. He makes a deal with Snagglepuss to free him if he'll pretend to be captured by the Major so that he can rejoin the Adventure Club. Snagglepuss has some conditions of his own. The Major lets Snagglepuss out of his cage at the zoo, and the chase is on!
