Little Orphan Annie – Black Jacket. 1940

Kiddies are treated to new sounding theme music, and a nifty, new ring and identification tag. Sent especially from Annie just for you… and returning the foil seal from the sponsor product. New voice actors give the show a newer, younger feel as well.

In the middle of an adventure, Annie and Joe keep an eye on Angelina Carmenetti and suspicious characters. International spies, members of the black hand, if they get into a car, it means the end of the tail the kids are keeping on them.

Suffering sunfish! If only a police man was handy. How about a cab driver? What might the driver know about the mysterious Black Cat Cafe?

Have the kids stumbled onto something with the woman in the black jacket? There’s certainly strange going on. Is it time to get the police involved? Isn’t that cabbie a little too complaint to run up his meter, keep it running while he waits, and trust two kids to have enough cash to pay him? Mysterious indeed.

PS: This and the remaining show from 1940 may not be related, but that’s all there is for Annie and her friends.
