Overview[]
Touché Turtle (voiced by Bill Thompson) is a swashbuckling hero who doesn't appear very formidable. Brandishing his trusty sword, he travels the land with his simpleminded assistant, Dum Dum the dog (voiced by Alan Reed), protecting innocent folks from dragons, evil knights, and the occasional robot. When he comes across someone in need of rescue, the daring turtle raises his battle cry, "Touché away!" and races into action.
