Trolley Ahoy
Mr. Bang needs the Toonerville Trolley to get him to his connection with the steam train on time (for once!). The Skipper bets him $10 he can do it and with Katrina's help their off. Now I always screen cartoons with my 2-1/2 year old to see if he laughs; and he did at the many site gags throughout. The restored version I have on the DVD "Cartoon Crazys" (WinStar Home Entertainment 1997) has superb color and sound. Like a lot of early cartoons, the dialog is sparse, hard to understand and mixed poorly with the soundtrack. That's OK - you'll get it after watching several times, which you'll want to do.
