Main Character(s):

Buddy, Cookie

Summary:

Cookie gets kidnapped by the “Mad Musician” (so he can use her for inspiration) and detective Buddy is on the case.

That’s Not All, Folks:

The names of future director Bob Clampett, animator Ben Clopton, and cameraman Manny Corral appear as in-jokes in the musician’s phone book.

What I Like About This One:

The eerie atmosphere and tone it has.

A spooky tree playing the musician’s piano much to his annoyance.

The musician’s frog victim escaping by jumping into a portrait of a pond.

Cookie being hypnotized through the phone lines.

Buddy entering the musician’s house by burning a hole in it (with a flashlight and a magnifying glass).

Buddy watching a skeleton drink from the water cooler.

Towser (seen here as Cookie’s dog) biting the leg off a skeleton.
