» » Dennis the Menace The Soapbox Derby (1959–1963)

Short summary

A neighbor kid is building a car for a soapbox race, so Dennis and Tommy decide to build one also. Several people help, and before the race, Mr Wilson makes a last second change. Dennis removes the starter bar and Mr Wilson wins the race.

The title refers to The Soap Box Derby which is run annually in the United States since 1934 and kids build their own racers that rely on gravity for propulsion. World Championship finals are held each July at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio.
