*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This short has Heckle and Jeckle running a diner. Since I want to discuss some details, there will be spoilers:
While there have been other Heckle and Jeckle shorts which have featured songs (such as Hair Cut-ups and House Busters), they really weren't what you would call musical cartoons. This one is a little different. At one point, Heckle and Jeckle "conduct" an "orchestra" composed of some of their customers, who "play" their utensils and even their food! The sounds that issue forth are tonal more than strictly musical, but a distinct tune can be heard.
There are other nice bits in here, like a customer who has a bit more difficulty with an order of Mexican "jumping beans" than he probably expected when he ordered them. In the midst of all this, two robbers come upon the diner and expect it to be easy pickings-not terribly bright, these two.
There's a particularly entertaining bit which uses a dishwasher as a weapon toward the end of this cartoon, the culmination of Heckle and Jeckle's defense of their property. The short closes as it opens-with Jeckle singing the opening line of a song-"Come to our diner, let us fill your platter. We guarantee that when you leave, you'll be a whole lot fatter!" Very good short and well worth the effort to find. Recommended.
