This was a Krazy Kat cartoon made for Charles Mintz and distributed by Columbia. While the studio originally based the character on the comic strip created by George Herriman, by 1931 he was changed in design and personality to be more like Walt Disney's popular Mickey Mouse (whose cartoons, ironically, were also distributed by Columbia at the time).
Two rival families of hens (and roosters) are arming in preparation for a battle in a property-line dispute over the division line between their two barnyard coops.

The adventures of Scrappy and his dog.
Against the background of the Grand Canyon, a young Indian boy and an-equally-young Indian maiden fall in love. While they are romancing along in the beautiful scenery, their little dog gets into a hassle with a snake. The snake was harmless, the animation was outstanding.
A toddler chases a frog out of his house to a nearby well where, falling into the bucket, he arrives at the bottom of the well, to be magically greeted by underwater seababies and various creatures, including the octopus law officer. Eventually he returns to the well bucket and is raised back up to be rescued by his mother.
On a stormy, windy night, Krazy's car breaks down so he and Kitty must seek refuge in an eerie old house. Happy the pup finds a skeleton, but the really scary resident is a huge, violent gorilla that runs off with Kitty, and Krazy must rescue her.
Scrappy runs a dime-a-night flop house, cheerfully sprinkling disinfectant around before the night's customers arrive. They're all animal people except Oopie, who as usual can't help but make trouble, and breaks things and makes a racket enough that the other denizens can't sleep.
Oopie is to give a violin concert, but doesn't want to play. Scrappy gives him a stick of chewing gum, which calms him. However, the gum gets on the two of them.
Scrappy, his little brother, and the dog take the car and drive to the camping grounds.
Scrappy and Oopy are on their way to Scrappy’s last day of class. Oopy’s distractions cause Scrappy to be late to graduation, so Oopy devises a plot to sneak into class so Scrappy can still graduate.
