Mingi and Buffo: The Ballad of Charlie

Mingi and Buffo: The Ballad of Charlie is a 1970 French animated film based on the characters created by Henry Maron.

Plot
Charlie was busy eating baked beans after Buffo rescued Mingi from a trap he set up until a telegram boy came to him revealing that his grandmother has died and plans to leave her inheritence to him if Judge Barton is "out of the picture".

Charlie was excited to do it but he didn't know that Mingi, Buffo, Chief Powack and Mafu has been hearing what he was told and decided to stop Barton from being killed. They secretly followed Charlie back to his mother's house and saw him creating a plan to kill Barton.

Charlie first tricked his Barton into going into an abandoned mine and lit a dynamite and threw it into the mine to blow him up but Mafu, having snuck into the mine, defused the dynamite before Barton got out of the mine, which angered Charlie.

Charlie secondly told Barton to go into an eel-infested river in hopes that he will die of electricity but Chief Powack play his flute that prevented the eels from electricuting Barton, which caused Charlie to shoot his imaginary guns n anger.

Charlie thirdly try to throw a giant rock in hopes that it would kill him but he was so engrossed with killing Barton that he didn't notice Mingi leading Barton out of the way before Charlie threw the rock at him, which fell onto the passerby's foot and it caused him to try to kill Charlie, causing him to run away.

Charlie lastly try to tar and feather Barton hoping that the local chef would cook him but Buffo replace the barrels of tar and feathers with water which Charlie poured on Barton, causing Charlie to angrily crash into the barrels on tar and feathers, making him look like a bird and causing him to get chased by the local chef.

Charlie officially gave up on trying to kill Barton but as he was about to visit Barton to confess to trying to kill him, he found Barton hanged with the note that said that he did that so Charlie could inherit his grandmother's wealth and, since his grandmother never explicitly said that he needs to be killed, Charlie gained his grandmother's wealth.

Although he did inherit his grandmother's wealth, he chose to deposit them into a private bank because, as he went to Mingi, Buffo, Chief Powack and Mafu, he would much rather try to kidnap Mingi than spend his life as a wealthy man so he left them off the hook and stated he is going to try to kidnap Mingi tomorrow, which pretty much pleased the others.
