Top Cat season 1 episode 6, titled "The Missing Heir," revolves around the alleyway gang's newest scheme to make a quick buck. However, their plan takes a surprising turn when they are hired by a wealthy old woman to find her missing heir.

Top Cat and his gang, including Benny the Ball, Choo-Choo, Brain, Fancy-Fancy, and Spook, are lounging around the alleyway when they come up with a new scheme to make some cash. They decide to break into a bank and take the cash from all the safety deposit boxes. However, their plans are quickly interrupted when they are approached by a wealthy woman named Mrs. Vandergelt. She tells them that her nephew, who is set to inherit her fortune, has gone missing. She offers to pay the gang a large sum of money if they can find him.

The gang is hesitant at first but the promise of a large payout convinces them to take the case. They begin their investigation by interviewing the household staff and looking for any clues. They discover that the nephew, Percy, was last seen at the fancy restaurant La Ratatouille. They decide to investigate the restaurant and ask around to see if anyone saw Percy.

As they are asking around, they run into Officer Dibble, who questions what they are doing. They come up with an excuse and manage to avoid suspicion. However, Dibble becomes suspicious when he notices the gang is acting strange and decides to tail them.

Meanwhile, the gang continues their investigation by tracking down Percy's ex-girlfriend, who tells them that he was planning on leaving town with a singer named Lola La Touche. They head to the nightclub where Lola performs and find Percy, who is now going by the name of Peter.

However, their reunion is short-lived as they are interrupted by Officer Dibble, who has followed them to the nightclub. The gang manages to escape but Dibble is hot on their trail. They split up and try to make their way back to the alleyway.

As they are running, they realize that Percy has left his suitcase behind. They open it and find that it is full of cash. They quickly realize that Percy must have been planning on stealing the money from Mrs. Vandergelt. They decide to return the suitcase to Mrs. Vandergelt and tell her what they found.

In the end, Mrs. Vandergelt reveals that Percy was not her real nephew. He was an imposter who had been trying to steal her inheritance. She thanks the gang for their help and pays them a large sum of money as promised.
