The Jail Break

1946 · 7 min · ★ 9.0 · Animation, Comedy, Western

In this classic Western cartoon, Bad Bill Bunion's horse helps his master escape from Alcatraz Island Prison. Free again, the wily crook commits a series of crimes, including the theft of a football during a championship Army vs. Navy playoff. Mighty Mouse returns to clobber his arch-foe, sending him flying back to Alcatraz. Mighty Mouse even returns the football to the game! There's a great gag at the end involving Frankenstein's Monster, Count Dracula and lawyers!
