This'''''Clutch Cargo''''' is a syndicated [[Adventure Series]] from 1959 that is most remembered for its use of [[Synchro Syncro-Vox]] technique, a process in which the photographed lips of human actors were superimposed on static drawings (a technique spoofed in an extra on ''[[The Incredibles]]'' [[DVD Bonus Content|DVD]] and mostly remembered today as being a shtick for a Conan O'Brien sketch). Otherwise the animation was ''extremely'' limited. We're talking one frame every two, three seconds.
 
The hero, Clutch Cargo, was a brawny pilot who flew to various places around the world with his young ward, Spinner; Spinner's dog, Paddlefoot, and a bearded explorer, Swampy. The 52 stories were serialized into 26 half-hour episodes in five chapters of five minutes each.
