Adventures of Jerry Lewis #124

Adventures of Jerry Lewis #124 (On Sale: March 4, 1971), has a cover by Bob Oksner. This is the final issue of the Adventures of Jerry Lewis, which started life and lasted for 40 issues as the Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. I was not a fan, though I did buy the issue with the Flash in it and over the years collected the four issues that Neal Adams drew. 

We begin with our cover-story, "Hot Wheels and Cold Sweat" by Alan Riefe and Bob Oksner. Jerry takes a job moving a grandfather clock to Pier 6 when he sees two guys with a racecar and becomes enamored with it. The two men are looking for someone stupid enough to test drive the car. Being late for the pier, Jerry agrees and shoving the clock in behind him, takes off for the pier. 

The car has some experimental fuel in it and Jerry is unable to control the car, ending up in a race, where he among other things, ends up driving the wrong way down the track (just like the cover shows). In the end, he and the dar are thrown out of the race and he ends up crashing at the pier. There Jerry discovers that killer Tiny Tony was inside the clock and trying to make a getaway. He is captured by the police who offer Jerry any reward he wants and he asks for a newspaper as he now needs to look for a new job.

Next is a one-pager, "From Bed to Nurse" by Henry Boltinoff and Bob Oksner. Jerry works as a hospital orderly and has to come up with a unique solution when he is told to change the linens of a patient in traction.

We have another one-pager, "A Witch Doctor Who Makes Calls" also by Henry Boltinoff and Bob Oksner. When Renfrew gets sick, Uncle Jerry calls on a witch doctor.

Lastly, we have "The Bird with the Million-Dollar Beak" by Murray Boltinoff and Bob Oksner. When Jerry takes Renfrew for a vacation up in the mountains, he complains that he really wanted to go to the beach. That night, a violent rainstorm sweeps their cabin off the mountain and down to the water where it peacefully floats. The next morning a couple comes looking for the cabin and sees it out in the water. Jerry thinks the couple is coming to rescue them, but they are actually after a diamond they stashed in the cabin.

As the cabin sinks the couple makes Jerry swim down looking for the diamond, which has actually been picked up by a seagull. Spotting the gull, they all follow it to shore where the bird puts the diamond in his mouth and then joins a huge flock of other gulls. They spend the entire night searching for the diamond and Jerry eventually finds Renfrew sleeping in a gulls beak. Wow, what a sorry note to end the series on.
