Synopsis
Andy Panda, walking down a country lane, is tempted to steal an apple. Falling asleep under an apple tree, Andy Panda dreams of his good and bad self.
His evil self appears and persuades him to go ahead and eat one, in spite of objections from his better self. His angel tells him what to do to battle the little devil who's steering him in the wrong direction.
Andy gives into his evil side to steal apples, but he finds out too late that he has gorged himself on green apples and falls out of the tree, feeling very sick. The apple cores dance around him, and the devil panda tempts him again, causing him to fall down a hole into the lower regions, where he's stuffed with apples, apple sauce and cider.
Andy's better self finally comes to his rescue, knocks his evil self silly, and leads Andy away over the hill.

Apple Andy
A "Hellish: torment of green apples visits our hero when he partakes in excess. The machineries of apple stuffing horror were awe inspireing mechanisms of relentless assault. Andy is a little known classic character. The Demon Angel images were fine indeed. An all time great.
Apple Andy
I remember seeing a Castle Film version, silent and B&W, of this on a friend's kid-type projector about 1955. I haven't seen it since, but I recall that Andy overate apples then was tormented by a devil character. I'd love to see it again. It's amazing how some memories stick with you.
