Speed Racer (1967)
S01E24 The Royal Racer (1)
Episode Overview
The episode kicks off with Speed and Pops putting the final touches on a miniature racer commissioned by the Kingdom of Sakkarin for the Baby Grand Prix, celebrating Prince Jam's coronation. Spritle is eager to compete in the race, but at just 7 years, 11 months, 23 days, and 8 hours, he’s too young, and there’s no space for him on the trip anyway. As Speed boards a 727 with large portholes, a suitcase tumbles off the trailer, revealing Spritle and Chim Chim inside. Their adventure begins with an encounter with a snake charmer's cobra. The Sakkarin palace resembles the Taj Mahal, and when Pops greets the king, his overly formal address, calling him "your royal highness majesty," sounds silly. Trixie mistakenly thinks a goofy-looking royal is Prince Jam, but it turns out to be his cousin, Prince Su.
