Synopsis for the Theatrical Cartoon The Merry Old Soul, Watch Video

Oswald and some other entertainers try to make a depressed Old King Cole laugh. He gathers up a collection of comics including Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. At the castle, they start singing off-kilter versions of Mother Goose rhymes, complete with Al Jolson in a blackface routine. The king is quickly cheered up.

Laurel & Hardy haul in a large pile of pies, and an all-out fight breaks out. The jester, who has been getting jealous of Oswald, kidnaps him during the fight and hauls him into a dungeon, submitting him to various tortures, where we discover that the real torture has been the dentist pulling the tooth all along.
