The Zippy Mississippi Race is the first episode of the second season of Wacky Races. The episode features 11 racers, each with their unique vehicle. The Wacky Races is an animated television show that began in the 1960s. Even though the show is now considered a classic, the second season still attracts fans of all ages.

The Zippy Mississippi Race starts with a bang as the racers gather at the starting line in their respective vehicles. The contestants include the usual suspects – Dick Dastardly who is driving the Mean Machine, Penelope Pitstop who is behind the wheels of the Compact Pussycat, and Peter Perfect who is driving the Turbo Terrific. Joining the usual gang is a new racer, The Red Max, who is driving his Crimson Haybaler.

The race is set to travel along the Mississippi River, starting in New Orleans and ending in St. Louis, a distance of over 1,000 miles. The racers are all eager to get started, but the race organizer, The Announcer, hasn't finished giving his directions yet. He explains the rules of the race, but also adds a new twist.

Before the race begins, each racer will pick a playing card from a deck of cards. The card they pick will determine their handicap, which could either help or hinder them in the race. The racers draw their cards, and the results are interesting. Peter Perfect draws an Ace, which means he will get a 10-minute head start over the others. Professor Pat Pending picks a 3, which means he will receive a 3-minute head start. Penelope Pitstop picks a 7, which means her vehicle's speed will be reduced by 7% for the entire race.

After the handicaps were drawn, the race begins with Dick Dastardly taking the lead early on. He is determined to win the race and has a few tricks up his sleeve to thwart his opponents. Professor Pat Pending's car, The Convert-a-Car, is the first to fall prey to one of Dastardly's tricks. As the car goes through a tunnel, it is converted into a boat by means of a hidden switch, allowing it to traverse the river. However, Dastardly has put a hole in the bottom of the Convert-a-Car, causing it to sink.

The other racers are keeping up with Dastardly, and it's becoming apparent that he won't be able to win the race outright. He must come up with a new plan to slow down or eliminate his competitors. He devises a new plan to launch a missile at the other racers to take them out of the race. The missile launch fails, but it causes a large explosion, which creates a flash flood that washes some racers away.

As the race continues, the racers face more challenges, including fog and an unexpected detour while passing through a swamp. As the racers navigate through the waters of the Mississippi, they are approached by a group of alligators. The racers quickly try to avoid the hungry alligators, using all kinds of tricks to stay ahead.

Throughout the race, The Red Max, who had been lagging behind, is starting to creep up on the other racers. His Crimson Haybaler is a new contender and is proving to be quite a formidable opponent. However, as the race approaches its conclusion, the reigning champion Dick Dastardly seems to have the win in the bag, but, once again, his ego gets the better of him.

As they approach St. Louis, Dick crosses the finish line in first place but is immediately disqualified for failing to stop at a checkpoint during the race. The final winner of the Zippy Mississippi Race is The Red Max, earning his first victory in the Wacky Races tournament.

The episode ends with The Announcer announcing the next race location, leaving the audience wondering what challenges and adventures the racers will face next. The Zippy Mississippi Race is an entertaining and exciting episode, featuring plenty of action, suspense, and silliness.
