A bluebird goes out early to pursue a young, pipe-playing worm who's mother has warmed him about the early bird.
If you've read my reviews of other Harman & Ising cartoons from the middle of the 1930s, you'll know I respect their technical abilities and color design, but despise their stories, which are intended to satisfy morons: not just moronic children, but their parents who seem to live in perpetual fear that their children will see something naughty and find it irresistible. Is good behavior so deathly dull the way these people see it?
Perhaps. This is made a little worse by having Mack & Moran do a couple of voice-overs. They were blackface comics of the era, wildly popular and not in the least funny.
