Synopsis
The Little King- a squat, childish, roly-poly monarch- attempts to teach his dog some tricks to perform in honor of a visiting sultan and his harem, who are arriving at the castle for an evening of merriment and surprises. Lots of off-color innuendo and vintage blue gags ensue when the sultan and his elephantload of wives arrive. The Little King feeds the group at his royal palace Automat. Then he proceeds to the business at hand: lusting after the entire harem like a crazed Harpo Marx.

Production notes
The Little King was created by Otto Soglow and first appeared in the New Yorker in 1931. When Soglow's contract with the New Yorker expired in 1934, he took The Little King to King Features.
The Little King starred in 10 cartoons at Van Beuren Studios between 1933-1934. The comic series ended in 1975, when Soglow died.
Although he never spoke in comics, the Little King utters a few words in "Betty Boop and the Little King."
