Entertaining if predictable short from UPA

Warning: Spoilers
This is a Mister Magoo short from UPA Studios. There will be spoilers ahead:

Once again, Magoo mistakes one situation for another. He believes he's on the beach, but he's in the desert in the middle of nowhere. Magoo has a picnic lunch which is basically consumed by unexpected guests-a prospector and his mule, lost and wandering the desert.

The prospector believes Magoo to be nothing more than a rather noisy mirage, though the "mirage's" lunch is most definitely real and apparently delicious, as it's eaten quickly.

The prospector, still thinking Magoo to be a mirage, decides he needs to give Magoo a gold nugget as thanks for a square meal. Magoo, in turn, doesn't believe the nugget is real and decides it would be a nice souvenir to give Waldo.

Shout! Factory has now released a box set containing all the UPA Magoo theatricals and a Magoo feature film. The set itself is excellent and this short is very good.
