Mortgagin' the Mountine Post the 3rd/middle episode of season 1 of Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties. It originally aired as a segment in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (Season 1, Episode 21).
Plot[]
After 83 years of service, Mounty Clyde is being given an honorable discharge from the service. However, when Inspector Fenwick prepares to present Clyde with a $3.00 solid gold watch, Dudley Do-Right hands him the watch, which has fallen to pieces. It seems that he had put it into a washing machine to clean it.
When Do-Right rides into town to buy a new watch, the only clock shop was a hock shop (pawn shop), one owned by Snidely Whiplash. Do-Right selected the cheapest watch in the shop ($0.11!), but he didn’t have any money whatsoever, so he signed a document that Whiplash presented that turned the R.C.M.P. fort over to him. One week later, Whiplash foreclosed, evicting the Mounties from their own fort.
However, when Snidely Whiplash sees Nell Fenwick leaving the fort, he is smitten by her looks, and offers the give the Mounties back the fort, if Nell will marry him. Dudley immediately objects, but Nell agrees to go through with the plan. Dudley sets off to raise the money to pay off the mortgage ($3,000,000.45), and ends up at a circus, where he and Horse jump off of a tower and into a bucket of water. When Dudley goes to collect, however, he finds that the owner had wandered too close to the lion’s cage, and been eaten.
Feeling defeated, Dudley returns to the fort, only to strike on a brilliant plan. After the wedding, Whiplash returns the mortgage to Inspector Fenwick, but then Dudley charges in and removes the veil from the bride, showing that Whiplash married Dudley’s horse instead. At first Whiplash refuses to believe that he was tricked, until Nell walks in...and whinnies.
