One of the one-shot cartoons from the first decade of Warner Bros. animation - and one that lost its opening credits in the Blue Ribbon reissue - portrays a gaggle of vagabonds who try to ride a train (before getting ejected) and then perform for a radio show. "Hobo Gadget Band" contains the sort of silly gags that were typical of the WB cartoons of this era, like a hobo who avoids the shower except a few drops to clean his eyelids.
It isn't the best cartoon that the Termite Terrace crowd ever created. It was probably just a placeholder between the really great cartoons (1939 also saw "A Day at the Zoo" and "Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur"), but I think that if a cartoon makes you laugh, then it's a good one. I certainly laughed at this one. Worth seeing.
