Plot/Description
Spoiler Warning! Snow White's mother dies and
her father the King advertises for a new bride. He ends up choosing Miss
Maclahose, who brings to the castle with her a "magic talking looking
glass." It always provides the correct answer to any question you ask. For
ten years, every day the Queen asks it "Who is the fairest of them all?"
The answer is always herself. One day, though, it says that Snow White is
prettier. The Queen is furious and orders a huntsman to kill her. In the
forest, Snow White begs for her life and the huntsman relents and lets her
go. Instead he purchases a bullock's heart which the Queen gleefully eats.
Meanwhile, Snow White hitches a ride to the city and got a job as a cook
and maid for seven little men. They're all ex-jockeys and they spend all
their money betting on horses down at the track. She tells them she has an
idea and sneaks back into the castle. She steals the mirror off the wall
and returns with it to the dwarfs' house. They use it to predict the
winner of the next day's horse race. Eventually they all become
millionaires. "Which shows that gambling's not a sin provided that you
always win."
