Worth a Look!
What's a hungry owl to do? If the flock of bats in a nearby cave are partying (some playing musical instruments and others dancing), you'd try to crash the party and get one to come to dinner. All visual humor as the owl speaks only through business cards as he seeks entry by disguising as a little boy violin prodigy, Irish tenor Jack Doyle, symphony conductor Leopold Stotkowski, and a doctor. The bats don't take kindly to being fooled and... maybe that can of beans wasn't so bad after all. Silly slapstrick throughout! For some reason, this toon is currently being shown on TV as "Top Bat and Tails."
