Toll-Bridge Problem

Toll-Bridge Problem is a 1942 American animated short film produced by Harold Walker Studios and released by Cartoon Films Ltd.

Synopsis
Fauna Fox is gaily driving down the highway on his motor-scooter. Crawford Raven, using his "Sucker Detector", spots Fauna as an obvious sucker. He goes to work disguising a free public bridge as a "toll bridge" passing himself off as the toll man. Fauna doesn't want to pay the two dollars and attempts to cross to the other side without paying. He tries going across on a raft but Crawford attaches it to an anchor. He tries using a "roller-coaster" ramp but Crawford detaches it. Lastly, he tries driving underwater using an oxygen tank but Crawford replaces it with a helium tank sending Fauna skyward. Finally, Fauna pays the $2.00 at which point Crawford reveals himself, yelling, "Sucker!"... but Foxy gets even.
