A bum is sleeping by the road when Scrappy roars up on his motorcycle -- he's a messenger in this cartoon -- to give him a telegram. His uncle has died and left him a million. While he goes into conniptions over his newfound wealth, Scrappy points out the word he missed. His uncle has left him a million cats. The bum doesn't listen, but begins to spend his wealth, telling everyone to send him the bill.
Reviews
Too much of everything
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
