In Ub Iwerks' The Frog Pond, many frogs are singing and having a good time until a big bully frog takes some food and basically orders a house built on his lily pond. They oblige with the most glamorous house anyone ever had with good food service (like grasshopper and some flies). Then this bully invites everyone for his party. During this party with all the dancing frog ladies he can have, the bully frog takes another frog's woman while drunk. But this particular frog has his own plans for revenge when he mixes a drink for him that has rat poison in it. So when the bully frog drinks it, he feels a jackass kick him in the stomach several times. As he faints, the other frogs paint some stripes on him as they lock him in jail in his house and send him to a fall which takes him to prison where a human(?) guard gives him a pick which he pounds on rocks that spell in little pieces, "Crime Does Not Pay"...Pretty entertaining if a little bland. I liked many of the musical numbers and that jackass scene in the bully's stomach. Worth a look for any Ub Iwerks and Columbia cartoon fans.
