Life in a New York alley was never as much fun as in this 1961 animated series that follows the many get-rich-quick schemes of a band of streetwise felines. Top Cat, a clever hustler whose close friends get to call him TC, leads his faithful followers Benny the Ball, Choo Choo, Brain, Fancy-Fancy and Spook in assorted scams, gambling activities and harebrained stunts, all in the pursuit of a fast dollar. Keeping an eye on things is Officer Dibble, a beat cop who has his hands full trying to break up TC's shenanigans.

When Benny's mum visits, the gang must convince her that her dim-witted son is mayor.

Top Cat and the gang decide to enlist in the space program when they hear about the luxurious living conditions of Marvo the Chimp, the first monkey in space.

Some crooks learn that a TV crew is shooting a robbery in the alley.

When Officer Dibble accidentally overhears a conversation between Top Cat and his doctor, he believes his friend has only one week left to live.
