On this day in 1939 it was Friday the 13th, giving an element of reality to the Donald Duck cartoon short Donald’s Lucky Day, which was released on this day that year. This time, Donald portrays a messenger who is instructed to deliver a ticking package to 1313 13th Street by midnight. With the seed of caution planted in his mind, he tries to be particularly careful, avoiding riding his bike under a ladder, but manages to crash into a mirror, breaking it into pieces. When he tries to keep a black cat from crossing his path, the cat actually helps to rid Donald of the dangerous package, which falls into the sea and explodes, making it for Donald a very lucky day.
