This is a short from Columbia Studio's animation studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
This short is rather cute, funny in spots, but average at best. The primary amusement here arises from a caricature of Peter Lorre and a note received by Lorre at the beginning (look at the address on the envelope and the signature on the note).
Other than that, it's a paint-by-numbers piece of work which is funny, but reminiscent of a lot of other shorts which were done better elsewhere. The voice work is good, but even a better than average short by Columbia's standards in the 1940s is still only an average cartoon. Columbia cartoons are still fun to watch a lot of the time, but they don't match up well with the better studios.
It's a nice looking short worth a look and can be found online.
