[edit] Plot summary
The husband-and-wife gangster duo Mac and Molly Mange were thought to have died while trying to escape from Alcatraz Island. Now, for the first time since their "makeover", courtesy of inventor Professor Hackle, they're back in Megakat City and planning to "tear up this town like a scratchin' post!" But Mac and Molly's first priority is getting revenge on those who had wronged them in the past, and at the top their hit list is Mayor Manx. It's mayhem down at City Hall as the SWAT Kats fight to destroy the seemingly unstoppable Metallikats.

[edit] Trivia
Mac says that Mayor Manx's office is on the 10th floor of City Hall, while in later episodes it's shown to be much higher up than that, particularly The Deadly Pyramid when the giant mummy climbs the building.
The name of Katscratch, the toothpick-chewing gangster who is killed by Mac and Molly early on, is apparently a reference to the song Cat Scratch Fever.
The Episode title is a possible reference to the thrash metal band, Metallica.
