- The Mickey Mouse Club 14-episode serial, "The Adventures of Clint and Mac", takes place during the course of one Saturday in London. Fifteen-year-old Clint Rogers, an American whose USAF father is stationed in the UK, has formed a friendship with his neighbor, a slightly younger English boy, Alastair "Mac" MacIntosh. Mac's father is a Scotland Yard Inspector, who will be in charge of security for the Royal Birthday Party of young Prince Charles. The boys decide to get their own present for Prince Charles. They agree to buy a tortoise at an outdoor Market, but can only put down half the money. Mac, meanwhile, notices one of his father's plain-clothes men nearby. Seeing a sign asking for an errand boy at a bookstall, they are interviewed by an elderly man who calls himself the Bookworm, and a customer of his named Smith. The Bookworm offers the boys money to deliver a parcel to Camden Town for Smith, who warns them not to give it to anyone else but him. Clint and Mac are unaware the parcel contains the original manuscript of Treasure Island, stolen from the British Museum. Reaching Camden, Clint and Mac have a running tussle with three teddy boys. Arriving at Smith's lodgings, they are greeted by Toby Jug, who describes himself as Smith's secretary. Refusing to give up the parcel, the boys settle in to wait for Smith. Toby Jug then suggests they spend the time touring the London Zoo. He drives them there and gives them a shilling for the entrance fee, reminding them to return in fifteen minutes. The slightly dim-witted boys entrust the parcel to Toby, who promises to wait right there. While looking at the zoo's tortoises, Clint chats up a young girl, Pamela Stuart, who is there with her chaperon. The boys inform her they have a tortoise too. She and Clint take a shine to each other, but the boys have to hurry back to Toby's auto. Naturally it isn't there, but on the sidewalk nearby Mac finds a business card for Breckinridge and Sons, a leather goods shop. The boys visit Breckinridge and Sons, where a man named Kurt says Toby Jug is on his way to Brighton. The boys return to Camden Town, where they spot Toby climbing into his car. Jumping on the back platform, they cling on for a ride across London. At a traffic light they hear Toby ask a lorry driver for directions to Rennie's Wharf in Limehouse. The lorry driver, however, tips Toby to his unseen riders. Toby stops and starts the auto in a jerky fashion, shaking off the boys. The boys hurry on foot to the wharf. Meanwhile, Pamela asks her father, General Sir John Stuart, to locate Clint's father, so she can invite Clint and his tortoise to tea the next day. Sir John telephones the American General Gibson, who tracks down Captain Rogers, Clint's father, on a golf course. Back at the Shepard's Bush Market, the Bookworm is taken into custody by the plain-clothes man, and brought to Scotland Yard. There, Inspector MacIntosh is informed that his son and an American boy were seen earlier talking with the Bookworm. The boys haven't been seen since, so a radio alert is put out for them. Arriving at the deserted wharf, Clint and Mac are accidentally locked in underneath it by a watchman. Unable to swim the powerful Thames this far down river, they investigate a small rowboat, but discover it has a hole in its side. Meanwhile, Inspector MacIntosh and his superior Inspector Atkins are questioning the Bookworm, who tells the police how the boys got involved, and about the man named Kurt, who is also picked up. Back under the wharf, a forty-foot launch pulls up to the dock. The Irish skipper meets Toby Jug, who climbs down a ladder from the wharf above. The boys are captured trying to regain the parcel from the launch. Smith arrives and orders the boat to head down river for the English Channel. Kurt has told the police that the manuscript will be smuggled out of the country on a forty-foot launch. Pamela arrives at Scotland Yard with her driver, Sergeant Mulvaney, and joins the Inspectors aboard a river police launch hunting for the boys. Clint show Mac how to send Morse code with a flashlight, then distracts the gang. Alerted by Mac's signaling with the flashlight, the harbor police stop and board the launch. Smith tries to fight it out, but is quickly overcome, while the skipper flees and Toby Jug surrenders. The manuscript is recovered, the boys are freed, and in the concluding scene, accompany Pamela to the Royal Birthday Party with their present for Prince Charles...a tortoise with birthday greetings painted on its shell.
