The year is 1946, and Pinky and Brain work on a new plan. Everyone in Los Angeles wearing hats will find them shrunken by the Fedor-A-Matic and chaos will follow. However, a sudden complication arises Billie. This appearance leads to danger and excitement, as Snowball lurks nearby and readies a dangerous plan of his own.

(After Brain's hat is shrunken by Snowball's version of his machine) Brain: The irony of it all, hoisted by my own fedora-matic!
This cartoon was first aired as part of episode 30. The gag credit for this episode is: Helmintgusasus - Disease caused by worms invading the body.
The opening scene is a word for word recreation of the famous beginning of the film Hollywood Boulevard.
Brain Noir: The title is a play on the term "film noir", which is generally used to describe gritty crime dramas from the 1940's and 50's. The episode parodies the style and nods to a number of noir films.
Brain: Get your hand off me, you damp, hairy hamster! ... in homage to the classic film Planet of the Ape's best known line... "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"
