    Did Scrappy Use Good & Plenty Candy To Make His Train Run?

    Scrappy is the engineer on a train, and Oopie is his fireman in this rather weak entry into the series, even if Dick Huemer was the director.

    A lot of Scrappy cartoons have great starts, and then midway through take a turn into a plot and lose a lot of steam. Here, the steam pressure runs low from the beginning, once you get past the initial absurdity. This cartoon is aso plagued by some obvious economy measures. There's a lot of loop. Looping is the repetition of a sequence which, while it can be amusing, is also a sign that they cartoon maker is trying to save money spent on others in the series.
