Fleischer Studios giving "Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin' All the Time)" the 'Screen Song' bouncing ball treatment.

A Jewish snake oil salesman sells some 'Peppo', a magic elixir, to a poor farmer with a farm full of lazy animals. To prove the potency of his pills, he pulls a dead cat out of his bag and drops the magic formula into its dead carcass. Whatever reanimates this poor soul at least has the appearance of life, and this is good enough for our hero. This particular drug must make the farmer delusional since he sees all his animals-everything he owns- as a testing ground for this zombie resurrection formula. After watching a dancing egg split open and 'hatch' the salesman (proudly waving a US flag), he end ups dancing with a cow and gets betrayed by a bull and a batch of his own animals and frogs after falling into the deepest well in any cartoon.

The Puppet Murder Case (1935) is one of the more stylish of the series, and has an especially cinematic interrogation sequence. The story here is pretty simple: Scrappy is running a puppet show for the neighborhood kids. Scrappy won't let his little brother see the show, socking him in the face repeatedly every time her tries. Oopy sneaks in anyway and, using a pee shooter, kills a stageful of puppets by breaking their strings. After Scrappy beats Oopy again, then has the 'puppets' put him on trial. This concludes with a puppet jury deciding Oopy is guilty, sentencing him to more abuse.
