Wheel Nuts

Angela tries to get her old car repaired, but she's talked into trading it in for a new car instead. The salesman persuades Angela and Old Tom to test drive a sports car, but Angela drives so timidly that Old Tom floors the accelerator. The car zooms through town, attracting the attention of a traffic policeman who gives Angela a ticket. Angela returns the sports car and next tries a four-wheel-drive. But that is too powerful, so she tries a limousine which is so sophisticated that she can't even drive it. Eventually, Angela decides to keep her old car, but she learns that it has been taken to the wrecker's yard. So Old Tom has to race off and save it.

"Oh, don't you think that might possibly be a little bit too much Old Tom?" says Angela when she sees the terrible mess her beloved Old Tom has made. Based on the books by Leigh Hobbs, this series brings the most intolerable, disastrous and most amusing of animated cats to the screen. Orange, one-eyed Old Tom and his adoptive "mother," the delightful and rather eccentric Angela, make one of the most surprising couples in the history of love stories.
