Dr. Claw has stolen a valuable ruby to build a deadly laser in India.

7.0

"Good"

Not too bad of an episode. Gadget manages to do several funny things to annoy the people of India. He touches a sacred cow and he tried to yank off the beard of a man that he thinks is a MAD agent. He winds up being arrested. Why does he ask for a phone call when he has his Top Secret Gadgetphone?

The action in the episode is alright. Gadget actually takes on four tigers and wins. He also battles a group of robotic monks (that's an interesting story element).

The episode also had pretty nice flow. The only downside to the episode is that the story is a little boring. The Gadgetmobile seems to be able to go anywhere. It isn't explained how Gadget, Penny, or Brain got to India from Metro City.moreless

ADD TRIVIA
- Gadget broke many laws while in India, some secular and some religious.
  1. In Hindu culture, cows are considered to be sacred. To touch one in the manner that Gadget did would be very taboo.
  2. Though defending himself, Gadget knocked out one Bengal Tiger and threw two others out a window. Bengal Tigers are the national animal of India and on the endangered species list.
  3. Destruction of private property while the owners watched and then he didn't even offer to pay for the damage he did.
  4. Gadget also took his mallet to a statue of Shiva. Besides being a museum piece, Shiva is one of the three major gods in the Hindu pantheon.
