Muggsy Mouse #14

Muggsy and his friend Jumpy witness the housing shortage and discover construction halted due to a national emergency, prompting Muggsy to need a new home as prices skyrocket. When Jumpy's house door becomes stuck, they attempt to open it, leading to the house collapsing. Later, a man at a "Hall of Mirrors" offers Muggsy a job framing mirrors for two dollars, giving him a mirror that is so heavy Muggsy struggles to carry it; the man suggests turning it around will make it lighter, but it remains heavy, eventually leading to the mirror breaking when Muggsy drops it. In a separate sequence, Muggsy and Jumpy encounter a ferret rat in the park and pursue it, leading to a chase involving explosives that results in a large blast.
