About Under the Counter Spy
This cartoon is a parody of the then current TV show, "Dragnet". Police are warned of an escaped criminal, "The Bat", who possesses a super strength tonic.
Directed by Don Patterson, Under the Counter Spy leans on a strong ensemble — Daws Butler, Dal McKennon, Dick Nelson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1954.
