A hunter and his dog are chasing a fox. The fox reaches out of the screen, grabs a pencil and eraser from the artist, and then proceeds to animate the film to suit his own needs. He erases the dog's legs and draws him shorter ones. Using the pencil he draws a variety of dangers, traps and hazards that frustrate the hunter, including rapidly changing the backgrounds. But the tables are turned when the hunter grabs the pencil.
The fish in the ocean seem to be making fun of an earnest young man in a row- boat holding a fishing line. A shark comes along, grabs the bait and the hook, and soon wrecks the boat. It's a close race as both head for the shore. The fisherman gets conked on the head and dreams of rescuing a mermaid from the denizens of the deep. As she is about to prove how grateful she is he wakes up to find the shark waiting to pursue him even on shore.
This one has lots of what Terrytoons are notorious for: cycles! And cycles of the commonest kind: ants harvesting and a baby factory! It also has a voluptuous Queen Ant and a sweetly delivered punchline which may make it worth your trouble. Withheld from television release; presumably because it leaves too many "birds-and-bees" questions unanswered for tiny tots (and their beleaguered parents).
Through a stray dog's mishaps, the stray gets mixed up with people who aren't really paying attention. He starts out as a shoe shine boy, then ends becoming the president of the GALLAGER and Foofer Frankfurter Co.
Good Deed Daly is a model boy scout and is helpful as can be even when his help is not needed. When he walks into a bank and finds all the employees bound-and-gagged, Daly senses that something is not quite right. The announced on the television set says that gangster Desperate Dumkopf is on the loose. Dumkopf, a master of disguise, transforms himself into a lamp-post and follows Daly. Dunkopf then changes into a scout-master and directs Daly to walk off a cliff. Daly, however, comes to no harm, and, in the battle that follows, unmasks Dumkopf and earns another merit badge.
