10. Big Numbers (1996)
The castle residents are off on holiday, but it is going to take some big multiplication to work out how much of everything they need to take with them. So the Jack of Clubs speaks to the King of Hearts who is at the counting house with the Jackie of Spades through the speaking tube if he could use the Times Machine. The Ace Mechanic of Spades fixes the Times Machine for the King of Hearts and he uses it to multiply for the 3 cards 420 by 4 packed lunches. But then the Times Machine is soon destroyed for good after the King of Hearts gets carried away and tries to multiply 5,000,000 by 50,000,000,000.
