Episode 23: Bullwinkle's Corner - My Shadow
Bullwinkle recites the classic poem My Shadow, but things take an unexpected turn when his shadow comes to life and begins to cause trouble.

Episode 25: Rocky & Bullwinkle - Jet Fuel (10) - Hello Out There! or There's No Place Like Space
Up and up they go, and then down and down: Cloyd and Gidney are out of fuel, or is that fudge cake? Because Boris and Natasha have absconded with their last fuel tank, the moon men have no choice but to tell Rocky the recipe, and they're just one ingredient short: mooseberry juice, which grows in only one place in the entire nation, and that hard-to-find spot just happens to be Rocky and Bullwinkle's hometown, *Frostbite Falls, Minnesota* (population twenty-three).
Meanwhile, Boris and Natasha, those two creeps in the deep, board a midget submarine.

Episode 26: Rocky & Bullwinkle - Jet Fuel (11) - A Creep in the Deep or Will Success Spoil Boris Badenov?
Boris has plenty of medals—for burning down orphanages, for kicking small dogs, for taking candy from babies—so why isn't he happier? He's forgotten something, he's certain, but can't remember what it is until he gets his orders: KILL MOOSE! So, of course, he and Natasha put the sub on autopilot, slip into breathing apparatus, and swim straight back to the U. S. of A. Meanwhile, our heroes are finding it tough to get to Frostbite Falls, so they head off to the nearest airfield to rent a cut-rate private plane, where they immediately find Ace Ricken-Boris, whose motto is *Fly Now, Pray Later.* Rocky wants to do some square business, but all Ace Ricken-Boris is offering are round trips for eighty-five cents per, which just happens to be all the money Rocky and Bullwinkle have. Is Ace really wild about flying them to Frostbite Falls, dollink, or is that vaguely familiar, vampy stewardess strapping our heroes into a flying casket?
Episode 21: Rocky & Bullwinkle - Jet Fuel (9) - Bars and Stripes Forever
Yes, the government agents who've arrested our heroes are waiting for two spies. If it's not Rocky and Bullwinkle, it must be those two funny-looking green guys, reasons Special Agent Iris T. Upthecreek, but when he tries to take the moon men into custody, he's scrooched...for a full fifty years, which creates a tiny problem until Rocket J. hits upon the idea of putting the scrooched agent on a pedestal, right in front of the National Security Building, while he slowly thaws.
Meanwhile, the moon men have become media darlings, with pointed heads all the rage, and they're even given the keys to the city (they're delicious). Cloyd and Gidney respond to all this flattering attention by heading back to their spaceship for a little peace and quiet, but ensuring that same peace and quiet on the moon means keeping Grandma Moose's recipe out of earthling hands, so it looks as if our heroes are going to be forced to go lunar themselves.
Episode 27: Fractured Fairy Tales - Beauty and the Beast
In this playful retelling, the Beast is under a spell that can only be broken by a kiss from a beauty. However, finding someone willing to kiss the Beast proves to be more difficult than expected, leading to a series of humorous and unexpected situations as the Beast tries to break the curse.
Episode 20: Rocky & Bullwinkle - Jet Fuel (8) - The Submarine Squirrel or 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea
Fortunately, Bullwinkle offers the wrong toast—"To crime!"—and Boris and Natasha, official bad guys that they are, are obliged to drink up, gulping down their own knockout punch; meanwhile, the flying squirrel is being used for target practice by the U. S. Navy, until quick-witted Rocky uses the smoke from the aircraft fire to spell out the phrase "U. S. Taxpayer" and, of course, the Navy needs every one of those that it can get. Soon Rocky finds Bullwinkle, and just as our heroes are about to leave with the moon men, a grateful U. S. government responds by arresting them!
Episode 28: Bullwinkle's Corner - I Love Little Pussy
