Speed Racer (1967)
S01E43 The Dangerous Witness
Episode Overview
As Speed, Trixie, Spritle, and Chim Chim fly to Hong Kong for the International Race, Speed becomes suspicious of a woman passenger who seems to be acting oddly while fiddling with her compact. It turns out that the compact is a high-tech weapon that fires a poisoned dart at another passenger seated further back. Just as Speed attempts to confront her, she collapses after being struck by a dart herself. Meanwhile, a stewardess in the rear of the plane watches with a sinister grin. Chim Chim discovers an invitation to one of Hong Kong's floating restaurants that fell from the woman's purse. Upon landing, Speed is swarmed by reporters, but they quickly disperse when Princess Petal arrives. She's a captivating figure from the Kingdom of Blossombow in the Middle East. Speed nervously compliments her elegance, putting his foot in his mouth. Meanwhile, an assassin targets the princess, but the stewardess intervenes to restrain her.
