This is a short from the Tommy Tortoise and Moe Hare series produced by Paramount. There will be spoilers ahead:
This begins when Tommy Tortoise comes from Hicksville to New York and Moe Hare sees him putting money in a parking meter and takes him for the perfect mark. He starts out with the old "shell game", letting Tommy win the first round, doubling the bet and then attempting to cheat on the second round. Tommy manages, through a quirky outcome, to win the second round.
Moe's attempts to cheat Tommy move from the shell game to 8-ball, where Moe's attempt to cheat is again defeated by a quirky outcome. Dice are next, where Moe succeeds in cheating, but Tommy gets the money back when the dice literally prove to be "loaded".
Next Moe gives Tommy a tip on a horse race, Moe tries to cheat and the horse Tommy bets on still wins. Then Moe just tries to hold Tommy up with a gun, except that Tommy foils him again, causing Moe to run right into the arms of the police, earning Tommy a reward for catching Moe. The ending is cute.
This short is available on the Harveytoons-The Complete Collection DVD set and is well worth watching. Recommended.
