'Rushing Roulette' is a cartoon from the Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote series, directed by Robert McKimson. In this cartoon the Coyote tries to catch the Road Runner with free piano lessons, free snap shots, a helicopter and an anvil, some glue on the road and he uses a mirror and sunlight to burn things, including the Road Runner. Of course things do not work as planned.
Although the cartoons in which the Road Runner actually does things to the Coyote are not my favorites (in the early cartoons the Road Runner was just running and the Coyote's tricks simply all backfired on him) this is a nice one and good enough for the series. I had my laughs. And although I don't like the endings where the Road Runner is driving a vehicle, the other gags involving vehicles are pretty good here.
