This story was later adapted into a Hanna-Barbera produced cartoon segment aired during Season 2 of "The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show". The segment first aired in October 1981 and did have some alterations - among which was the exclusion of Richard Rich, Sr., and Reggie shaking while remaining in mid-air, and Reggie saying along the lines of "No, thank you" instead of "Aw, shaddup!" at the end.
