Bobby Bumps (real boy) is shooting a cartoon about Bobby Bumps (cartoon boy) going fishing. Filming does not go well. The real black cat steals the fish from the cartoon and feeds it to her kitten. There are disputes between boy and cartoon about the poor scenery, and matters do not go well.
Apparently Earl Hurd not only had a share in the patents that Bray accumulated, he owned Bobby Bumps, and took the character with him to his own production company to release through Educational Films. This one is a very funny effort; clearly Bray's work was influenced by what the Fleischers were doing with Koko the Clown and put his own spin on the mixed live-action/cartoon technique.
