Porky the Gob
director: Cal Dalton / Ben Hardaway actor: Mel Blanc
other title: Porky et le sous-marin pirate
A battleship, manned mainly by dogs (and Porky), and whose captain sounds rather like Yosemite Sam, sets sail. When the crew threatens to get to the mess hall before the captain, he orders them to halt (and they do, some in mid-air). The ship gets a radio message of a reward for capturing the pirate submarine. The crew sets out in planes to go looking, leaving Porky behind. Naturally, the sub comes after the ship, and defense is up to Porky. He manages to repel the boarding party and winches the sub onboard with a plunger.

A hound dog drives to the hills to dig for gold.

When a horseman reports a sign of gold, the station hound trades his gas station for the other hound's car and equipment.

Katnip Kollege
director: Cal Dalton / Cal Howard actor: Johnnie Davis
other title: Katzenjammer-College / Chantons à l'école
At the Katnip Kollege, we see a roomful of cats taking a course in Swingology. Everyone swings except Johnny, who can't cut it and has to sit in the dunce chair. Miss Kitty Bright tells him to look her up when he learns how to swing. Finally, listening to the pendulum clock at night, Johnny gets the beat. He rushes out to where everyone is playing and sings "Easy As Rollin' Off a Log" to Kitty Bright. She joins in; he grabs a trumpet for an instrumental break, with the complete band. They both fall off a log; she covers him with kisses.
