Based on 4/7 The First Albert Memorial to the Moon.
When the British Interplanetary Society turn down his B-2 rocket, Ned Seagoon rents the Albert Memorial from Henry Crun (who has left Minnie trapped under a grandfather clock), fits rocket motors to it, replaces the statue of Prince Albert with a control cabin, and sets off on an expedition to the moon. They land on a mist-shrouded planet. At first they think it’s Plutron, but the truth is revealed when they hear Minnie screaming for help in getting out from under the clock.
