Just after getting chewed out by his girlfriend over being too much of a daredevil, Mickey Mouse accidentally drinks a chemical potion brewed up by Doctor Manfred Meek, which makes him into the world's boldest daredevil!
Continuity[]
- The title compares Mickey Mouse to Doctor Jekyll, first mentioned in Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hydrange (1983), and established to have been a real person in the Disney Comics Universe in Doctor Jekyll & Mr McDuck (1987). Like Jekyll, Mickey lapses into an alternate personality due to having ingested an experimental chemical solution.
- Mickey is offered a deal with K-O-R-N TV, mirroring the K-O-R-N Radio of Land Beneath the Ground (1956).
