Lucky Number is a 1951 Donald Duck cartoon featuring Donald Duck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.[1]
Plot
[edit]Donald Duck owns and runs a Filling station. His nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie (seen older than usual in this short) are busy working on their car when a radio station announces the winning numbers of a lottery for a new Zoom V-8 car. Donald is frustrated when his ticket does not have the winning numbers and throws away the ticket, but after Donald walks away, the radio announcer corrects an error, resulting in Donald's ticket having the winning numbers. Instead of telling the news to their uncle, the trio decide to pick up the car to surprise him.
The nephews do not make it far as their car is out of gas, and they push it back to Donald's station. Upon seeing they have no money, Donald pushes their car away. The boys use a cutout of a Zoom V-8 from a nearby billboard to disguise their car, and one of the boys dresses up as a comely woman, tricking Donald into fueling up their car. When he realized what happened, Donald is enraged. The trio rush to the radio station to pick up the car, and the station phone calls Donald about his nephews having a surprise for him. Upon returning to the gas station, a still angry Donald believes the car the boys are in is another trick, and proceeds to destroy it. The radio announcer then congratulates Donald by name, making him realize in horror what he has done.
