The Midas Mix-Up is the fifth episode of Josie and the Pussy Cats. It first aired on October 10, 1970 on CBS.
Summary[]
While on a combination gig and ski trip, the Pussy Cats stumble into a plot where the evil scientist Dr. Midas plans to rid the world of all its gold with a special micromist unless half of the gold is given to him.
Trivia[]
- This is the first appearance of the Pussy Cats' tour bus.
- This episode was released just before the global gold standard was supplanted with fiat currency. At this time, world economies depended on gold to stabilize the value of each of their standard currencies. If Midas could destroy the world's gold supply, it would've created a massive economic depression.
- Midas' Micro Mist must have nuclear properties if he is able to vaporize a gold bar successfully.
- Alexandra is the comic relief twice: first when she complains Sebastian about being too slow opening the prison doors, he in turn hits a button that causes a door to "spank" Alexandria; then when she sprays Midas mist on her gold colored ski clothing-it disappears!
