Phineas J. Whoopee uses his Three Dimensional Blackboard to teach Tennessee Tuxedo and Chumley about..... Oh, sorry.
Mr. Money uses his Learning Machine to teach John and Judy how credit works.
The three actors get screen credit. All look familiar. Mr Money is veteran character actor Regis Toomey, John is Jan Stine, a Ft. Wayne native who appeared at the Pasadena Playhouse (with Madge Blake!) and on dramatic TV for a few years in the early '60s.
Judy asks, "Gee, Mr. Money. Do girls have to learn all this about credit, too?" Now, ain't that cute.
This is short is produced by a subsidiary of John Sutherland Productions, so we're treated to bits of the studio's animation.
The short opens with LM-9 LIGHT MAIN TITLE by Spencer Moore and closes with C-42B MECHANICAL END TITLE by Bill Loose, both from the Capitol Hi-Q Library.

Fairly loony Sutherland film production (are there any others?) about how John and Judy learn from Mr. Money (!!) about how and why credit is so valuable in our lives. To answer all the kid's questions, Mr. Money only has turn a knob or two in his "learning machine" (!!) which the kids love because it's a "great gadget" (!!) and up comes a convenient explanation. This is a fairly sexist film as Judy winds up saying stuff like "I don't understand most of it" and stupidly asking "Do girls need to learn about credit too?" to which Mr. Money patiently advises Judy that she's doing most of the shopping in the household. OUCH!
On a aside note, Mr. Money really needs to buy some more guest chairs.
Reccomended!
(PS this film is a bit wobbly goes up and down.. you might get dizzy)

Regis Toomey, seen here as "Mr. Money" also appears in the Elvis Presley classic "A Change of Habit", as the a-hole priest who insults Mary Tyler Moore and her fellow nuns...just thought you'd like to know. Or maybe not.

A mysterious guy named "Mephistopho"sorry, I mean "Mr. Money"teleports dorky teenagers John and Judy to his lair in the Netherworsorry, I mean his office and there purchases their eternal sosorry, I mean teaches them about consumer credit through the use of a "Learning Machine" (i.e. a TV that shows cartoons). Wait a minute, folkslet's just call a spade a spade and admit that we're dealing with the Devil's Envoy, which would be upsetting, except it's clear that John and Judy haven't a single brain cell between them. Judy even comes right out and asks Mr. Money, "Do girls have to learn this stuff too?" This can only mean that their souls were devoured by Satan's minions a long time ago. Let this serve as a warning to all of us.
