    You Can Bank On Magoo

    Mr. Magoo has sold his Hupmobile. He goes to the bank to deposit his money, but gets out at the race track. He hands the money to the clerk, who mistakes his word for a horse, which wins at 100 to 1. His friend says something which Magoo thinks is inciting a run on the bank,, makes a speech, and hand the money back for another long shot....

    The Magoo cartoons in 1957 were not as good as they had been -- UPA was producing too many of them to maintain the quality. Still, this one is pretty funny.
