Gold Rush Daze 1939

Gold Rush Daze (1939) is a classic Warner Bros. cartoon directed by Ben Hardaway and Cal Dalton. It tells the story of a dog-faced prospector who is determined to strike it rich in the gold rush. He stops at a gas station to fill up his car and chats with the attendant, who turns out to be a seasoned prospector himself. The attendant recounts his own history of failed gold-seeking adventures, from the California Gold Rush to the Klondike Gold Rush, always ending in disappointment. Just as the attendant finishes his tale, a rider gallops up with news of a new gold strike in the hills. The prospector, eager to try his luck, trades his car and equipment for the rider's horse and tools, setting off on his own gold-seeking journey.
