Three Rascals #1

The Clubhouse Rascals stumble into an antique auction and accidentally get one of their own's finger stuck in a valuable vase—which the group ends up purchasing whether they like it or not. What follows is a hilarious sequence of botched attempts to free the trapped finger, complete with steam baths, oil slicks, and a chaotic ride down a curved bannister that leaves destruction in its wake. When the dust settles, the boys discover the vase held a rare coin far more valuable than the antique itself, earning them an unexpected reward.
