Synopsis

The skating teams are in Scotland where the clue is in the Lochs which ends up getting the Loch Ness Monster involved and Bailey's Comets is ordered by a police officer to get it back to the Loch Ness in two hours or they'll go to jail. The Texas Black-Hats, the Jekyll-Hydes, and the Ramblin' Rivets plan to take advantage of this by planning to keep the Loch Ness Monster from going back into Loch Ness. Although Bailey's Comets finds the clue, the rest of the skating teams managed to see it from a distance.

Production notes

This was another show based on the concept 'the never-ending contest', just like Wacky Races. In this series, a roller derby team raced all over the world trying to win a $1,000,000 treasure. Each episode gave 1 clue as to where it was located. Just like many of the shows with the same sort of contest, there were always the bad guys trying to stop the Comets.

All the episodes aired in the original 1973 season. The second season was all repeated episodes.

In the 1974 season CBS was showing "Bailey's Comets" on Sunday mornings. Mid-season they yanked this show and replaced it with "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" reruns.
