Don Buitre, a vulture banker in a black suit and crooked top hat with a gold monocle chain, tosses a life ring labelled LOAN toward Beto the beaver worker in water and declares A LIFELINE! A chain attaches the ring to a huge anvil labelled INTEREST. Beto, wearing patched overalls and gloves with a pencil behind his ear, recoils with raised palms. Small TAJO signature at lower right.

Some lifelines come with a weight attached.
