Wholly Smoke

In this anti-smoking moral tale, Porky trades his last nickel for a cigar to prove his manhood. Porky is given five cents to buy candy in town, but on the way meets the town bully, who talks him into spending it on a cigar. Dreaming that Nick O'Teen has overdosed him on smoke, Porky experiences a nightmarish hallucination of singing cigarettes and other smoking paraphernalia in the form of the Mills Brothers, the Three Stooges, Bing Crosby, Rudy Vallee and Cab Calloway (as a blackface pipe cleaner). The "smoke ghost" is there, along with various characters, all depicting the dangers of tobacco. Crosby is depicted in a box of "Crooners." Cigars, cigarettes and even chewing tobacco are exposed as not the thing to do as Porky gets very sick.
