World's Greatest Adventures - Episode 23

“Episode 23” is the twenty-third episode of World's Greatest Adventures. Its director and star is Aristide Twain.

Synopsis
Rufus Hooter Talltales walks through some of his previous haunts, feeling melancholy and nostalgic. Stumbling upon a sign that points to the Fountain of Youth, he quickly makes his way there, only to find that it is actually inside a manor, and consists of a sink. Drinking from one of the taps, he turns into an old man (with Gordon becoming an elderly-style cap). Soon realizing his mistake, he goes back to drink from the other tap, and crawls to the attic as the transformation takes place, eventually turning into a young boy (who, Disintegrator Sword in hand, is soon off on new adventures).

Trivia

 * Rufus is seen strolling through the sets of Episode 15, Episode 16 and Episode 22.
 * Rufus refers to the "boring stuff on Mars", continuing the joke from Episode 21: Escape from Mars.
 * Rufus still possesses the Disintegrator Sword. In a possible production error, he seems to acquire it on his way up the stairs, without explanation (he presumably drew it from his pouch).
 * Rufus draws a glass from his pouch, much as he has been shown to pull objects of various size from it earlier in the series (such as the alarm clock in Episode 20).
 * The episode marks the first time Rufus Hooter Talltales has been played by someone else than Aristide Twain, as his younger self is portrayed by the appropriately young Sylvain Dolphin. Twain does, on the other hand, take on the short-lived part of Rufus's elderly self.
 * The sketch is the penultimate episode of Season 1 of World's Greatest Adventures, explaining its callback-heavy nature.
