FELIX THE CAT FUTURITZY

Felix asks his girlfriend to marry him. He goes to her father who wants to know his prospects. He visits a fortune teller, but the Gypsy palm reader is of no help. He then goes to an Astrologist who looks at the stars and predicts Felix's future Felix will find a lucky horseshoe, with which he will catch a thief. The thief's victim gratefully rewards Felix with a plane ride to the city and an enormous meal of milk and fish. He then gives him a safe full of money. Felix shows the money to his girlfriend and she hugs him. Delighted with the news of his good fortune, Felix pays the astrologer and leaves. He goes to his soontobe father in law with the details and lights a Cigar. Unfortunately his match lands on some dynamite and "POW" the explosion catapults the pair into the sky. The father lands perilously on a cliff edge. Whilst trying to save him Felix finds a horseshoe. Unfortunately he only manages to break a shop window with it. Felix is then run over by a car. It says 'just married' and his love is inside in a brides dress! Felix's heart is broken. He throws a brick through the Astrologers window.
