The White Cliffs of Dover/Life Saver

Thu, Jun 12, 198623 mins

There's a new arrival in the neighborhood. A highbrow English couple, and their equally-arched cat - Reginald. From the start, Reginald and Heathcliff don't see eye-to-eye. And Heathcliff's anger reaches the boiling point when Reginald steals Sonja away, taking her on a date. Heathcliff trails them, with constant unfortunate results - for Heathcliff. Still, Heathcliff's impressed when Reginald has the fortitude to admit Sonja's really Heathcliff's girl. A twist of fate has locked Reginald out of his house, and he goes in search of shelter. This leads to a tangle with the Alley Cats; a near-capture by the Dog Catcher; and a tussle with Spike - with Reginald being saved each time by Heathcliff. In the end it's tit-for-tat. Heathcliff's learned a little about how to treat Sonja like a lady; so he sets out to teach Reginald how to survive - Heathcliff-style. / After Riff Raff saves Mungo from a bad fall, Mungo becomes Riff Raff's servant in gratitude and slowly drives Riff Raff crazy. When he can't even get a kiss from Cleo because Mungo is ever-present, Riff Raff decides to set up a situation where Mungo saves him. While boating on the lake, things don't go Riff Raff's way and he ends up saving Mungo from drowning. On dry land, however, Mungo rescues Riff Raff twice, thus paying him back; but at the last minute Cleo saves Mungo and Riff Raff from a runaway car and it starts all over again!
