Horror · Thriller

An episode of Calvin and the Colonel, the 1961-1962 ABC animated sitcom created and voiced by Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll of Amos 'n' Andy fame. Colonel Montgomery J. Klaxon, a shrewd fox, and Calvin T. Burnside, a dimwitted bear, propagate an insurance scam: after the Colonel breaks his nephew's car, they try to buy auto insurance and cash in on the damage after the fact. The plot would have been right at home in Amos 'n' Andy, transplanted into a cartoon animal format to sidestep the controversy that had ended the live-action show. Aired February 3, 1962. The episode is in the public domain.
