Meet the fearless flyers of the Vulture Squadron. They have only one goal, that is to stop Yankee Doodle Pigeon from delivering secret messages. Encouraged by their leader, the despicable Dick Dastardly, these brave men persevere in their mission. With the assistance of the funny talking engineer Klunk they are able to employ the most unlikely flying machines. Amongst them, Muttley is the first one to come into action while on duty in order to gain another medal. Most of the time, this decoration is given to him by Dick Dastardly, in honour of saving him from another plane crash. Unlike Muttley, Zilly always tries to back out of the impossible pigeon-related operations. Fortunately, Muttley is always capable of fetching scary cat Zilly, and putting him back where he belongs. Supervised by the general, who never fails to call Dick Dastardly in the middle of screwing things up, the Vulture Squadron has won its spurs in the history book of mission unaccomplished.

In 1968 Hanna-Barbara planned a new cartoon show that is now known as 'Dastardly and Muttley in their flying machines'. It worked out to be the spin-off of 'The Wacky Races', a show in which Dastardly and Muttley already performed as a successful team.

From September 1969 to March 1970 the show was broadcast for the first time by CBS in the USA. The show consisted of three parts, one about catching the pigeon (#34), one about Muttley dreaming to be magnificent - The Magnificent Muttley (#17) -, and one containing small jokes - Wing Dings (#33).

Nowadays the show is regaining popularity in Europe because of it being broadcast every day on Cartoon Network Europe.

21. Stop Which Pigeon?

Muttley you snickering floppy eared hound,
When courage is needed, you're never around!
Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest,
Should be there for bungling at which you are best!
So, Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon, Stop
The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon,
Stop that Pigeon
How?
Nab him! Jab him! Tab him! Grab him!
Stop that pigeon
Now!
You Zilly, stop sneaking it's not worth the chance,
For you'll be returned by the seat of your pants!
And Klunk, you invent me a thingamybob,
That catches that pigeon, or I lose my job!
So, Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon, Stop
The Pigeon, Stop The Pigeon
Stop that Pigeon
How?
Nab him! Jab him! Tab him! Grab him!
Stop that pigeon
Now!
