Tom and Jerry
E103 Blue Cat Blues (1956)
Summary: Tom falls for a white cat who manipulates him for gifts. Desperate to win her affection, he spends all his savings and takes out a 26-year, 112% APR predatory loan—signing away "an arm and a leg" and even selling himself into slavery—to buy her an old car. Butch arrives in a luxurious convertible, crushes Tom’s jalopy, and wins the cat. Heartbroken and broke, Tom spirals into depression. In a parallel twist, Jerry also discovers his girlfriend has married a richer mouse. The short ends with both Tom and Jerry sitting on train tracks, awaiting an oncoming train, symbolizing their shared despair.
