Synopsis

For no apparent reason, little Oopie is repeatedly punched in the face by Scrappy and banned from his puppet show. The li'l dickens sneaks in anyway and proceeds to "assassinate" the dancing marionettes in full view of the entire audience! Oopie is found guilty in a bewildering all-montage puppet trial and sentenced to become a marionette himself, controlled by his beaming brother as the audience musically mocks him! A completely nightmarish cartoon by any standard!
