Synopsis
Inki and his little dinosaur go hunting for food. While hunting, a mountain splits open to reveal a mynah bird with a hopping walk. Inki follows the bird, but then Inki is pursued by a saber-tooth lion for his top knot. The lion and Inki chase each other around (running into a caveman who is trying to cook a meal-a recurring gag) and eventually involve a dinosaur, who tries to catch the mynah bird, but gets tied up by the mynah. The cooking caveman finally catches Inki and the lion (to stop them from ruining his meal), but the mynah ends up eating all his stew.

Production notes
The last Inki cartoon.
This cartoon is not currently shown on American television because of characters, scenes or situations that portray potentially offensive, negative or otherwise currently socially or politically unacceptable content which may be perceived as fostering potentially negative stereotypes of Blacks.
The Blue Ribbon release featured blue rings. This release also features the original title cards and includes credits.
In September of 1943, beginning with A Feud There Was, Warner Bros. began re-releasing select color cartoons in their Blue Ribbon program. Typically the Blue Ribbon reissues received new opening sequences with Blue Ribbon title cards and standardized music. Cartoon production credits were also removed. Between ten and fifteen cartoons were released in any given year, with cartoons coming from as far back as 1935. The reissues continued until the close of the studio in the 1960's.
All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as "Merrie Melodie" cartoons regardless of the original series. The first "Looney Tunes" short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.
