  • The cartoon starts by having an unseen narrator describe what happens when the Gambling Bug is around. The cartoon shows some examples of what the bug can do: 1. * A man has eaten dinner and presented with the bill. However, he wants to bet the waiter "double or nothing" on a coin flip for the bill. The waiter begs him to just pay the bill and leave. 2. * Two men are sitting at a bar watching a fly buzz around their beer mugs. One fellow bets the other 5 dollars that the fly will land on his beer mug first, to which the other guy says "it's a bet!". 3. * Then a man who puts a coin in a casino slot machine. He watches the wheels spin around until three oranges appear. He jumps for joy until the payout from the machine is actually 3 oranges instead of the jackpot. He gets enrage
