FOODINI THE GREAT: FOODINI RUNS FOR OFFICE (TV)

Summary

One in this series of puppet shows about an evil, bumbling magician named Foodini and his lowly but loyal assistant Pinhead. In this episode, Foodini tries to raise money without working by renting out Pinhead as a human billboard. When Pinhead's placard space is purchased by mayoral hopeful J. Florid Bombast, Foodini begins to have political ambitions of his own. While the magician's mailman conspires with a bunny rabbit to get Pinhead elected instead, Foodini is busy giving an election day radio speech into an uncooperative microphone. While Pinhead easily becomes mayor of all the bunnies, Foodini and Bombast are competing in a close election in which every vote counts. Commercials deleted.
