Episode 2 "One of our States are Missing" The villainous Appian Way has stolen Rhode Island. Super Chicken usually begins their adventures with the battle cry, "To the Super Coop, Fred!" The Super Coop is an egg-shaped air vehicle flown by Super Chicken and Fred to the rescue of innocent victims of crime. When Fred comments on his latest injury, Super Chicken responds with a variation of the theme, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred!" Following his own mistakes, Super Chicken remarks, "I'm glad no one was here to see that!" Once Super-Chicken and Fred finally arrest the criminal, the episode always ends with a narrator voicing: "So, when you hear that cry in the sky...", (followed by Super Chicken "clucking" the Charge (bugle call) "you'll know it's SUPER CHICKEN!" (frequently humorously adapted to the circumstances of the episode). Super Chicken was a parody of the well-off WASP of the 1950s, horn-rimmed glasses wearing, martini drinking, numeraled surname bearing, and having a sense of social obligation (fulfilled in this case by suiting up and fighting bizarre menaces to society). A similar, contemporary fictional character was Bruce Wayne, a millionaire who fought crime as Batman. Earlier uses of the theme included Zorro and the Scarlet Pimpernel.
