And, if the little choo choo train cuts the string that is attached to the lawn mower then it will come down on her. The Ant Hill Mob make it there to help her, but she ends up going out through a window, subsequently getting caught by the hook of a crane. It's operated by the Hooded Claw who begins to swing her into a pile driver at a construction site next to the store. After a few close calls she swings to an open window of the Pitstop Department Store and gets a beachball. She pops it, using the air jet to escape. Then, back in the store, she is sent waterskiing with her hands tied to the tow bar of a pilotless speedboat. She goes through t

The trap is set to drop a suspended merry-go-round over the game tent after a shooter hits enough ducks to light up the score counter. Dum-Dum wanders in and is persuaded by The Hooded Claw to give it a try. Dum-Dum, not knowing that Penelope is in danger, says that he is a born sharpshooter. Soon the rest of the Ant Hill Mob step in, rescue Penelope, and the merry-go-round crashes in upon The Hooded Claw and the Bully Brothers.
