Country: USA

Director: Bill Nolan

Shotlist: ANIMATION. Krazy Kat's adventures on a farm. Title and credits (8). A duck finds there is no water in the pond. Krazy Kat offers to help. He borrows a hat from a scarecrow and fills it with milk from a cow. A hen complains and Krazy Kat squirts it with milk. Krazy Kat fills the pond and the duck swims. A larger duck allows his beak to be used as a diving board. Krazy Kat then takes the pond and uses it as a skipping rope. He discards the rope and a hen eats it thinking it is a worm. Krazy Kat spies two hens sleeping. He takes a striped sock from a washing line and plays it like a squeeze box. The music awakens the hens who dance to the music and collapse from exhaustion. Krazy Kat drops the sock which becomes a snake and slithers away. The farmer comes upon the complaining hen who informs him of Krazy Kat's antics. The farmer sees Krazy Kat riding the back of a pig and gives chase to Krazy Kat, shooting at him. They both jump into a river. Krazy Kat finds a bowl, puts it on his back and becomes a snapping turtle. He then chases the farmer pulling his trousers off. Krazy Kat uses the bowl as a boat and the trousers as a sail and is seen sailing on the sea (348ft). Note: The above copy carries the titles "By Arrangement with M.J.
