Mr. Bancroft and Hugo are characters in the Saturday Supercade episode "Double or Nothing." Mr. Bancroft is an executive who holds the will for Lucy Belle's mansion, and Hugo is a caretaker. Together, they attempt to take advantage of the former's mention in Hubert Jefferson's will by attempting to prevent Lucy Belle from solving a rebus puzzle by midnight, the only way she can truly inherit the mansion. They are two of the very few antagonists in Saturday Supercade where their post-episode fate is not hinted at.
They first appear at the beginning of the episode in their disguises and capture Lucy Belle, even evading Donkey Kong Jr.'s and Bones's attempts to stop them. They then appear at the meeting without their disguises, and Mr. Bancroft reads Hubert Jefferson's will to "Lucy Belle." Angry that "Lucy Belle" had "escaped," Mr. Bancroft captures him while Donkey Kong Jr. gives chase. This move backfires on Mr. Bancroft; when Donkey Kong Jr. catches up with him, he manages to distract Mr. Bancroft long enough to let go of Bones and the duo finds the real Lucy Belle.
Mr. Bancroft and Hugo then resolve to prevent Lucy Belle from solving the rebus once and for all. They find Bones and chase him around. Donkey Kong Jr. attempts to "bake a pie" out of them, but Bones accidentally falls into him, causing the dough to land on Donkey Kong Jr. Mr. Bancroft and Hugo throw him into a laundry chute and resume their chase on "Lucy Belle."
As the real Lucy Belle is entering the corridor, Bones accidentally blows his ruse by knocking himself into a wall and causing his wig to fly off. Mr. Bancroft and Hugo then manage to steal a piece of the rebus from the real Lucy Belle; however, before they can get far with it, Donkey Kong Jr. arrives and uses his "Monkey Muscle!" to distract them and steal back the rebus piece, allowing Lucy Belle to solve it. It is then that Donkey Kong Jr. pulls off their disguises and Bones reads the other part of the will that mentions Mr. Bancroft. Mr. Bancroft's and Hugo's fates are left unknown.
